# Omniana/Volume 1/Bunyan's Holy War

52. Bunyan's holy War.
A very beautiful manuscript was once put into my hands by a provincial bookseller, to whom it had been offered for publication, containing two tragedies upon the subject of John Bunyan's Holy War. It was the composition of a lady, who had fitted together scraps from Shakspeare, Milton, Young's Night Thoughts, and Erskine's Gospel Sonnets, into this form, with no other liberty than that of occasionally altering a name. The Lady Constance, I remember, was converted into the Lady Conscience, and whole speeches and scenes were thus introduced in a wholesale sort of cento. The Ghost in Hamlet also did for an Earl Conscience.

Price Maurice,
BORN at Wrexham, England, November 16, 1818; and educated there at the Grove. Declined a commission in the East India Company's service, and came out to South Australia, August 9th, 1840, per "Caleb Angas," with the object of devoting himself entirely to pastoral pursuits, in preference to any other avocation. Began in a small way in 1843 or 1844, and eventually acquired leases from the Government ​of the runs known as Pekina and Oladdie, comprising 671 square miles in the north, where the greatest number of sheep and lambs shorn in one year was 118,000, yielding 2,003 bales of wool. These runs are now entirely occupied as agricultural settlements. Mr. Maurice became lessee of the Warraw, Lake Hamilton, and Bramfield runs, 943 square miles, on the Port Lincoln Peninsula, where the sheep and lambs shorn in one year amounted to 97,000, yielding 1,553 bales of wool. These runs are now cut up and devoted to agricultural and grazing purposes, and settled upon by selectors. On the gradual resumption of the runs, Mr. Maurice determined to adhere to the fixed purpose of his life and remain a sheep farmer, or squatter. In 1874 he took up a block of country, distant 270 miles north-west of Port Augusta, known as Mount Eba run, comprising 5,358 square miles of land. Here, the rainfall up to the present time has been uncertain, and in common with all new pastoral country in the interior, great difficulties have had to be surmounted; 83 wells have been sunk—36 of which yield a water supply. This run is in course of development at enormous expense. In 1870 Mr. Maurice introduced the Angora goat, and purchased, in the hills near Adelaide, the Castambul estate, for the purpose of establishing the breeding of these animals in Australia, on a scale sufficient to prove their adaptability, by forming a large stud flock. This estate contains 5,288 acres grazing land, abundantly watered, and possessing magnificent features of mountain scenery. Mr. Maurice, consequent upon incessant struggles in the early days of the colony, and battling with vicissitudes of seasons in outlying districts, was compelled when somewhat broken down by over-anxiety, to seek in England the change he so much needed. For some years he has been absent from the province, unable to return, owing to continued ill-health, but is in regular communication with this country, directing the various operations with which he keeps up constant interest. Every movement ​connected with pastoral matters and the development of the interior engages his marked attention—no other business but that of a sheep farmer, pure and simple, having been for forty-two years the aim and object of his life.

# Notable South Australians/P. McM. Glynn, B.A., LL.B.

Layout 2
P. McM. Glynn, B.A., LL.B.,
BORN in Gort, Ireland, August 25, 1855. Educated at the French College, Blackrock; and on leaving there was apprenticed to a solicitor practising in Dublin. After three years the indentures were cancelled, and Mr. Glynn joined the King's Inns as a Law Student, and entered the Dublin University, in which he graduated in arts in July 1878, and subsequently took the degree of Bachelor of Laws; obtained a certificate for oratory from the College Historical Society, Dublin University, and a silver medal for oratory from the ​Law Students' Debating Society of Ireland in 1880. In the discussions of these societies he always supported the cause of Land Law Reform and the principle of Local Government. He spent a year and a half in London, studying law in the Middle Temple, and was called to the Irish Bar in April 1879. In September 1880 Mr. Glynn left for Melbourne, and was called to the Victorian Bar in December following.. He both wrote and spoke upon the Irish question in that city, and published, with an introduction, the speech of the late Mr. A. M. Sullivan on behalf of the Land Leaguers during the Irish State Trials in 1880-81. He arrived in South Australia July 2, 1882, and from the following August has practised law in Kapunda, having been admitted a practitioner of the Supreme Court in July 1883* Since the death of Mr. James Elliott, in April 1883, he has been editor of the Kapunda Herald^,and was one of the founders of the Land Nationalization Society in May 1884, for which he has lectured and written with much ability. It would be somewhat impolitic here to enter into particulars of the principles of the S. A. Land Nationalization Society, of which Mr. Glynn is so able a representative, the more especially so, as they are now being widely disseminated, from both pulpit and platform, week after week by logical and earnest orators. Suffice it, everything shows that the day is at hand when the victory for which Mr. Henry George has so ably striven will be won, and Land Nationalization become an established fact.

​ ​meetings held at Moonta Mines, at which the miners' grievances were ventilated, "Reuben" was one of the stock speakers. Among the last meetings of this kind which he attended were those at which the "dynamite question" was discussed. He was an ardent opponent of the use of dynamite in blasting underground, and regarded the ill-health which he suffered from as due to inhalation of the fumes of that compound. He came to Adelaide, where, after working for some time as a mechanic, he took the position of a life assurance agent, in which occupation he was engaged at the time of his decease. Mr. Gill was a consistent advocate of teetotalism, and by his speeches and lectures did good service for numerous Rechabite tents in the colony. He was a power for good in the sphere in which he moved, and his death is regretted by thousands of people in the colony.

Oliver Rankin
DIED in Adelaide, December 15, 1880, aged 57. A native of Londonderry, Ireland; settled in South Australia in 1848. He was a member of the City Council for upwards of six years, a Director of the Equitable Insurance Company; connected with the Friendly Societies, and took great interest in the welfare of the working classes.

# Notable South Australians/R. A. A. Morehead

Layout 2
R. A. A. Morehead,
WHO died in Sydney, N.S.W., January 11, 1885, aged 72 years, was one of the most energetic, popular, and highly-esteemed citizens of that place, and equally well known here. He came to South Australia about the year 1845, as Manager of the Australasian Investment Company, which had then just been formed in Aberdeen. Amongst other enterprises, the Company acquired the Bon Accord Mine, near the Burra. As Resident Manager of this property Mr. Morehead, by his urbanity and prompt businesslike proceedings, made many friends; and satisfactory returns were received by the Company for outlay of capital. The town of the Burra is still supplied with water pumped from the main shaft of the Bon Accord Mine. On Mr. Morehead's health failing, he retired from the service of the Company, and in recognition of his long, valuable, and faithful services, they gave him an allowance of £1,000 per annum for life.
# Notable South Australians/R. G. Symonds

Layout 2
R. G. Symonds
WAS born of British parents on December 21, 1810, in the Island of Madeira, where his father, a London merchant, up to 1834 had a branch house. Mr. Symonds arrived in South Australia by the "Cygnet," as an assistant surveyor, appointed in London by the S. A Commissioners, in Sept., 1836, and was present at the proclamation of the colony. He commenced in January 1837 with Mr. G. S. Kingston, the Deputy-Surveyor General, to measure off the main lines of the then proposed city of Adelaide, Colonel Light personally starting the parties from the point at the N. W. comer of South Adelaide, but on account of the dispute relative to the site of the proposed capital, the survey was discontinued for some days. Mr. Symonds was then directed by Colonel Light to measure off the bends of the river Lei ween the hills and the Reedbeds, but did not further assist in laying out the Adelaide allotments. With Messrs. B. T. Finniss and other surveyors, in April 1837, he commenced the survey of the country sections, and in September 18.SS Mr. Symonds left the survey department. In December of the same year he selected and purchased Port Adelaide sections C.F. and H., five sections on the Torrens, two sections near Glenelg, and other sections, in all 1,088 acres. He visited Tasmania in 1842, and remained until 1848, when he returned to Adelaide, and with a view of extending the town of Port Adelaide, laid out his section H—(North Arm) for the proposed township of Newhaven. Although in one sense, a "successful colonist," Mr. Symonds has not been enriched ​by his outlay and incessant endeavours to promote the advancement of the land of his adoption. In the evening of his days he is well-known as a teacher of bookkeeping in Adelaide, and it is much regretted that something cannot be done to aid the interests of this old pioneer colonist, who in England was intimately associated with Sir Geo. Kingston, Thos. Gilbert and others, who were instrumental in establishing the colony of South Australia.
# Notable South Australians/Ralph Wheatley Odgers Kestel

Layout 2
Ralph Wheatley Odgers Kestel,
BORN at Portreath, Cornwall, July 28, 1838; arrived in South Australia, with his parents, in February 1848, and was first employed at the Kapunda mine in dressing ore. In 1849 he went to the Burra mines where he was engaged in various works, ultimately turning his attention to the building trade, and locating at Kooringa. Left for Victoria in 1852, and made altogether six trips from South Australia to the Victorian and New South Wales diggings, and when not so engaged worked as a builder in and around Port Adelaide, at which place he at length settled, and entered into partnership with Mr. Henry Burge. Many of the principal buildings in the locality were erected by this firm, notably the model school. Stilling & Co's store at the new dock, the Bank of Adelaide, and other important structures. Mr. Kestel was elected councillor for Centre Ward in 1877, 1881, and 1883, holding office until May 1884, when he resigned ​to carry out the extension of the Town Hall buildings. He was instrumental in doing much good for Port Adelaide during his councillorship. He introduced a drainage scheme for the sanitary improvement of the town, but, although it was not adopted, it found much favour and led to prompt action by the civic body. He took a prominent part in the purchase of the land for the Corporation Wharf, and also in securing 1,000 feet of wharf frontage to Tam o'Shanter Creek, and strongly supported Mr. H. W, Thompson when mayor in introducing asphalt footpaths. Mr. Kestel was popular as a councillor, as shown by his representing a ward in which he held rateable property for more than seven years. He is a member of the Institute Committee, and connected with the S. A. Yacht Club.
# Notable South Australians/Rees Jones

Rees Jones
DIED April 4, 1884, at Hindmarsh, aged 91 years. Saw a great deal of service with the 43rd Regiment of Foot, and had several clasps for his courage in action at Cuidad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelle, and Toulouse. He was in the reserve forces at Waterloo, though the regiment did not reach the battlefield in time to take part in the action. He was also in the expeditionary force that was sent to America, and on returning thence the regiment was ordered to Paris, and remained there some time after the capitulation of the city. Mr. Jones arrived in South Australia about forty years ago, but did not take any active part in public affairs. At the time of his death he was in receipt of a well-earned pension from the War Office Department.
# Philip Dru: Administrator/Chapter XLV

Chapter XLV Burial Reform
At about this time the wife of one of the Cabinet officers died, and Administrator Dru attended the funeral. There was an unusually large gathering, but it was plain that most of those who came did so from morbid curiosity. The poignant grief of the bereaved husband and children wrung the heartstrings of their many sympathetic friends. The lowering of the coffin, the fall of the dirt upon its cover, and the sobs of those around the grave, was typical of such occasions.
Dru was deeply impressed and shocked, and he thought to use his influence towards a reformation of such a cruel and unnecessary form of burial. When the opportunity presented itself, he directed attention to the objections to this method of disposing of the dead, and he suggested the formation in every community of societies whose purpose should be to use their influence towards making interments private, and towards the substitution of cremation for the unsanitary custom of burial in cemeteries. These societies were urged to point out the almost prohibitive expense the present method entailed upon the poor and those of moderate means. The buying of the lot and casket, the cost of the funeral itself, and the discarding of useful clothing in order to robe in black, were alike unnecessary. Some less dismal insignia of grief should be adopted, he said, that need not include the entire garb. Grief, he pointed out, and respect for the dead, were in no way better evidenced by such barbarous customs.
Rumor had it that scandal’s cruel tongue was responsible for this good woman’s death. She was one of the many victims that go to unhappy graves in order that the monstrous appetite for gossip may be appeased. If there be punishment after death, surely, the creator and disseminator of scandal will come to know the anger and contempt of a righteous God. The good and the bad are all of a kind to them. Their putrid minds see something vile in every action, and they leave the drippings of their evil tongues wherever they go. Some scandalmongers are merely stupid and vulgar, while others have a biting wit that cause them to be feared and hated. Rumors they repeat as facts, and to speculations they add what corroborative evidence is needed. The dropping of the eyelids, the smirk that is so full of insinuation is used to advantage where it is more effective than the downright lie. The burglar and the highwayman go frankly abroad to gather in the substance of others, and they stand ready to forfeit both life and liberty while in pursuit of nefarious gain. Yet it is a noble profession compared with that of the scandalmonger, and the murderer himself is hardly a more objectionable member of society than the character assassin.
# Philip Dru: Administrator/Chapter XLIX

Chapter XLIX Uneven Odds
Gloria and Janet Selwyn saw much of one another in Washington, and Dru was with them both during those hours he felt necessary for recreation. Janet was ever bubbling over with fun and unrestrained humor, and was a constant delight to both Gloria and Dru. Somewhere deep in her soul there was a serious stratum, but it never came to the surface. Neither Gloria nor Dru knew what was passing in those turbulent depths, and neither knew the silent heartaches when she was alone and began to take an inventory of her innermost self. She had loved Dru from the moment she first saw him at her home in Philadelphia, but with that her prescience in such matters as only women have, she knew that nothing more than his friendship would ever be hers. She sometimes felt the bitterness of woman’s position in such situations. If Dru had loved her, he would have been free to pay her court, and to do those things which oftentimes awaken a kindred feeling in another. But she was helpless. An advancement from her would but lessen his regard, and make impossible that which she most desired. She often wondered what there was between Gloria and Dru. Was there an attachment, an understanding, or was it one of those platonic friendships created by common interests and a common purpose? She wished she knew. She was reasonably sure of Gloria. That she loved Dru seemed to admit of little doubt. But what of him? Did he love Gloria, or did his love encompass the earth, and was mankind ever to be his wife and mistress? She wished she knew. How imperturbable he was! Was he to live and die a fathomless mystery? If he could not be hers, her generous heart plead for Gloria. She and Gloria often talked of Dru. There was no fencing between these two. Open and enthusiastic admiration of Philip each expressed, but there were no confidences which revealed their hearts. Realizing that her love would never be reciprocated, Janet misled Philip as to her real feelings. One day when the three were together, she said, “Mr. Administrator, why don’t you marry? It would add enormously to your popularity and it would keep a lot of us girls from being old maids.” “How would it prevent your being an old maid, Janet?” said Dru. “Please explain.” “Why, there are a lot of us that hope to have you call some afternoon, and ask us to be Mrs. Dru, and it begins to look to me as if some of us would be disappointed.” Dru laughed and told her not to give up hope. And then he said more seriously--“Some day when my work here is done, I shall take your advice if I can find someone who will marry me.” “If you wait too long, Philip, you will be so old, no one will want you,” said Janet. “I have a feeling, Janet, that somewhere there is a woman who knows and will wait. If I am wrong, then the future holds for me many bitter and unhappy hours.” Dru said this with such deep feeling that both Gloria and Janet were surprised. And Janet wondered whether this was a message to some unknown woman, or was it meant for Gloria? She wished she knew.

343 U.S. 390
Palmer Oil Corp. v. Amerada Petroleum Corp. Farwell
Argued: April 25, 1952. --- Decided: May 12, 1952
These two appeals challenge the constitutionality of Okla.Stat. 1941 (Cum.Supp.1949) Tit. 52, §§ 286.1-286.17, providing for unitized management of common sources of supply of oil and gas in Oklahoma. This statute was repealed by the Oklahoma Legislature on May 26, 1951, Okl.Laws 1951, c. 3a, § 16, p. 142, and we ordered the causes continued in order to determine the effect of this repeal on the matters raised in these appeals. 1951, 342 U.S. 35, 72 S.Ct. 11. After being advised by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma that this repeal had no effect on these causes, we noted probable jurisdiction and heard argument.
Appellants contend that this statute and an order issued thereunder by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission impair their contractual rights in violation of U.S.Const., Art. 1, § 10, and amount to a denial of the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. Specifically, appellants argue that the statute is an unreasonable exercise of the State's police power and an unreasonable delegation of legislative and judicial power to private groups. In addition, appellants maintain that the statute is too vague and indefinite to furnish the Commission with any reasonable guide for the issuance of orders approving unitization plans, and that the evidence does not support the Commission's findings of fact.
In the light of our previous decisions, appellants have failed to raise any substantial federal questions and the appeals are therefore dismissed. Cities Service Gas Co. v. Peerless Oil & Gas Co., 1950, 340 U.S. 179, 71 S.Ct. 215, 95 L.Ed. 190; Railroad Commission of Texas v.
