Guest From Australia.

Registered at the shoreham is Hon.
William Knox, of Australia. Mr.. Knox
is a member OF the House of Represen-
tatives of the Parliament. He will
spend few days here and then visit
some of the leading cities OF the United
States. He has number of letters
| from the American consul to prominent
Americans, and also letters OF introduc-
tion to Secretary Hay and Commissioner
Macfarland. Under the act of 1900 OF
the British Parliament Australia, he
said. had practically new government

The first governor general under the
new constitution, Mr.. Knox said, was
Earl OF HoDetoun.
Mr. Knox said there are seven colo
ries in the observation-disclosures, New

mania. The territory of the new com

the United States, exclusive of Alaska,
and the population is nearly 100000.
Il was not the intention originally to
include New Zealand Oh account of its
distance from the mainland, l 100 miles,
but 1t was s=-ally included. Tasmania is
only $50 miles distant.
Speaking of the new conditions Mr.
Knox said: THE executive power is

MI. Blackburn Congratulated.

Congratulations came thick and fast
yesterday to Representative Blackburn
of the Eighth North Carolina district.
The occasion for the congratulations
was the passage Of bill, under the
suspension of the rules. to establish
United States courts at wilkesboro,
y. C.
Mr.. Blackburn introduced the bill in
the House on the 2Sth of May, and It
was referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee. II was unanimously reported to
the House on the 26th OF June, and yes
terday was the first time the member
from the Eighth North Carolina dis
trict had an opportunity to call it up.
1t is unusual 10 pass such measure
under the suspension Of the rules. and
especially on the day fixed for the final
adjournment
1t was due as much to the personal
popularity of Mr.. Blackburn as the
report of the Judiciary Committee that
its passage was secured. Mr.. Black
burn says it Is the most important
measure for his section Of the Tar Heel
State that has passed this session.

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
Expenses of a Contest.

Representative Tompkins of Ohio has
been subjected to considerable chatting
at the hands of his colleagues because
the general deficiency bill appropriated
only S1,999.60 for his expenses in the
contest brought against him by former
Representative Lentz. All such appro
priations are limited to $4,000, and many
members OF the House have wondered
whv Mr.. Tompkins knocked off the 40
cents instead OF claiming the entire
amount.
Mr.. Tompkins explained yesterday that
the odd change was due to the stenog-
rapher's bill. and felicitated himself
somewhat on the fact that he had man
aged to keep his expenses within the
amount allowed by Congress. whereas
Mr.. Lentz put in a bill for something
over $2,700.

the industrial phenomena around us
today in the United States.
After the preservation of order
and the administration of justice, by
far the most important duty of gov
ernn,ent today is to see to it that all
its citizens are employed or have the
opportunity TO be employed at pro-
ductive labor.
When any considerable number Of
the citizens of the country are shut
out of the opportunity to labor the
loss in wealth to the country is almos.
incaleulable, and is equaled only in
magnitude by the gigantic losses from
great wars.
For example, the census of 1890
shows that during that year there
were 1,139,000 people in enforced
idleness. The census also shows that
the average wealth produced per head
by these workers was about $4,000 per
year. Thus the United States suffered
a less of over two and a quarter bill
liens of dollars in a single year from
the failure to secure employment of
this large number of its workers.
This loss shows most impressively ard
conclrsively the urgent need of such

A f1isdirected Reform.

Now and then people who are
well-intentioned but not very
thoughtful, undertake to teach
others how to make life easier,
and they suggest methods which
will really have quite the opposite
| effect. An instance of this is to
! be found in a recent article on
housework, by well-known writer
on such subjects; and it can be ac-
counted for, probably, by the fact
that people who write great deal
about housekeeping seldom have
time to do much of it themselves.
This lady belabors her sisters who
do their own work, because they
dc not sit down to their tasks
whenever possible. She says:
allow many will sit dewn to
wash or wipe dishes9 Where viii
be found one sensible woman who
has had a high chair made so that
she can sit in it and reach the con-
tents of the dishpan comfortably,
or remain seated while she irons
such trifes as handkerchiefs, that
need little hard pressure2 l pause
for reply. l only wish so large
a chorus of L am the onep would
rise as to make me feel I should
break out in print with humble
apology to my sister housekeepers
from one end of the land to the
other"
An apology certainly is due in
this connection, but not the sort of
one referred to. When several |
millions of people have the habit |
of doing their work in one way it |
is usually safe to infer that they |
have q reason for it. People who
have to work until they are ready |
to drop from exhaustion are not
likely to waste their strength, even
if they are women. In this case
the reason why women stand at
their work is precisely the same as
the. reason why the carpenter
stands at his, and why even the
bookkeeper often prefers not to sit
down when posting ledgers or do
ing other work which necessitates
some reaching and lifting. It is a
good deal easier to take step or
two from side to side than it is to
bend and reach, and work In a
more or less twisted position.
Moreover. it is often easier, when
one is used to it, to stand for sew
eral hours at a time than to be
continually getting up and down.
That is the philosophy of that sit
uation.

Fond Of "Goobers."

Senator Bacon is a daily customer Of
the delectable 'goober," for which his
State is justly famous. He has con-
sumed paper bag full of the luscious
nuts on his way to the Capitol every
day during the past session.
There was story afoat in the Sem
ate corridors some time ago that he
had his peanuts sent to him directly
from Atlanta in bulk once month, in
order TO be sure that he was getting the
