POLITICS IN AUSTRALIA
Hot-House Where State Social
iSmS Bloom and Bud.
CRY "WHITE AUSTRALIA"
Government Protects the Community
Against Strikes and Loekouts---
Exclusive Of Aliens and Negroes
Strictly Enforced-PIural vo.ns
Abolished.

Sunny Australia is best described
rs political hot-house, writes Bdr-
iss Gahan in Bookloyer's Magazine.
.,eneath the glass of extreme democ-
lcy twenty varieties OF state socialism
. budding, and a dozen more have
cached their full bloom here gen.
grafton or two before their due time
N other parts of the world. You in
the United States woIl ak the pol
itical millennium Mt far distant If
your civil service were reformed by
leaving all appointments to commits
sioners as impartial and Independent
as your own supreme court judges
To England the payment of legislators
and the separation of church from
state would seem revolutionary. But
democrats have gone much farther.
In Australia, indeed, they have abol-
ished plural voting, and have freely
given the suffrage to all women.
They have established graduated in
come and progressive land taxes
Their great land difficulty being met
by such heroic means as the compul-
sorry repurchase of large estates for
closer settlement, and by state loans
on farm mortgages. The referendum
has been used to decide the greatest
question that has yet arisen in Aus
tralian history Laws have been pass
ed for the minimum wage, the eight
hour day, early closing of shops, day
labor on government contracts, and
the inspection OF factories, shops, and
mines. Old-age pensions have been
established in three of the colonies,
and the commonwealth parliament Is
bent on a federal scheme. The cXctu.
sion of alien and undesirable irmi-
grants is enforced so rigidly that even
British worlmen who come under con
tract are turned back; the South Sea
Islanders who have been wOr6iIG for
years in the Queensland sugar fields
are to be deported and the govern
ment has refused to renew mail con-
tracts with British steamers which
carry colored sailors or stOkers. So
strong is the national Cry for a
"White Australia"
Some of these advanced measures
have been hastened; yet socialism
here is not merely an after-growth OF
democracy. From the beginning the
Australian governments have owned
md operated their railways, tele-
,raphs, and telephones. In some
sases, also, they have kept in their
own hands the street railways and
electric lighting. All the colonies
have government savings banks. In
New Zealand there is government in
surance against both fire and death
And now the government has under
taken to protect the community
against strikes and lockouts, much as
you protect yourselves against murder
and highway robbery When )volun-
tary Cancellation failed, as it has fail
ed in Massachusetts and everywhere
else, the practical reformers of New
Zealand and Australia did not fear
TO enforce compulsory arbitration

An American Buddha?

The Buddhists of Tibet and other
outlandish places think that their
gods second coming will be from
Europe to America, says Buddhist
student.
"They think this because, In all
their old images of Buddha reincar-
mated, he sits, not on the floor, but in
our modern occidental way upon a
chair. When they found that Euro
peans sat on straight chairs they
came to believe firmly that from
America or Europe their reincarnated
Buddha would come"

Revival of the EnuIish Inn,

While some reformers are bent on
ending the public house, others are
busy at mending it. We need not de-
eide for both; in many places there
are TOO many public houses, and Of
those that would in any case remain,
many might well be bettered. Tie
annual report of the Public House
Trust shows that substantial progress
is being made in this direction. The
principal aim of the trust is the reviv-
al of the inn as place of all-round
refreshment, and its extinction as q
mere drinking bar. THE man who
asks for bovril gets the same smile
as the man who asks for beer" that
is the advertisement and the motto.
Lord Grey's movement is most hope
ful one; it takes for granted that men
will not be deprived of their beer; but
it offers every inducement to the
consumption of other cups than those
which inebriate, and of eatables as
well as drinkables, and it provides
decent wholesome, cheerful surround
ings. The movement is peculiarly
opportune in rural districts. 1t comes
at time when there is a considerable
revival in the wayside inn as a place
of necessary refreshment. Hostelries
which seemed to have been killed by
the railways are coming to life, thanks
to the bicycle and the motor. At a
time when so many people are thus
taking to the road again, it is very
appropriate that an effort should be
made to improve the roadside inn

The railroad rate question is one
that can hardly be discussed intel
ligently, much less settled, by am
ateurs. It is known by experience
that to place absolute power to fix
rates in the hands of the railroad
companies, whose interests lie in
charging all that the traffic will
bear, often result in discrimina-
tions which make or ruin the des-
tiny, in business sense, of indi-
vidua]s or communities. It's equal
ly evident that to place the abso-
lutte power of fixing rates in the
hands of the government, with au-
thority to enforce infexible mile
age rates on all lines, while those
lines are owned by competing com
panies, might result in injustice
and perhaps virtual confscation
of the property of some companies.
There are already laws to prohibit
determinations, but they are so
difficult to enforce that they are
practically worthless to the indi-
vidual. The railroads are in a
sense public highways, and to that
extent they are servants of the
public. On the other hand so long
as they are owned by individuals
the owners must have authority to
enforce their just rights. By some
arrangement giving joint authority
to the government and the propri-i
etors, which will insure equal JUS
tice to the public and to the rail
road companies, solution of the
problem must be found, but it is
not question to be settled in a
country newspaper office, nor do
we believe it should be settled by
petitions such as are being circu-
lated in some places and signed by
persons whose principal knowledge
of the subject consists of a blind
prejudice.

Well.

Winfield, Kan, Oct. 23. - The gas
sand was penetrated, bringing in what
promises to be the best well that has
yet been found
Notwithstanding that the sand was
penetrated but a few inches, the flow
is greater than the $4,000 well was
when 1t was first discovered
The exact depth of the well is not
known, although it is thought to be
about 610 feet, which is the depth of
the city well which is located within
few yards of the new well.
Mr.. Bourdette is to be congratulate
ed on his success which is due large
ly, to his nerve and persistence when

Ing up money to sink any more holes.

chise and plenty Of gas, with back
ing sufficient to pipe the town. Win

HAVE EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT.
Private Car Lines Have Understanding
With Railways.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The existence
of exclusive contracts between rail-
roads and private car lines, by which
the latter assume the business of re-
frigerating perishable freight, was
brought out strongly in the hearing
now in progress before the interstate
commerce commission. 1t was de-
veloped by the testimony Of H. M.
Emerson, traffic manager of the At
lantic Coast Line, that the shippers
would be compelled under the con-
tract with the Armour car lines to
use cars of this company exclusively
or the railroad would not transport
their freight. At the same time, he
said the schedules of the road would
permit the use of other private cars
and that the apparent inconsistency
is a matter that the legal department
of the road would have to solve If
brought into controversy.
Officials of the Central of Georgia,
the Southern and the Seaboard Air
Line testified that the Armour car
lines have. exclusive contracts with
their roads to handle all refrigerator
business.

SUSPECTED AS A SPY.

Gives an Instance Of the Espionage
Prevailing in Japan.
Dr. Baelz, who was professor in
the medical department of the Toxic
university for a quarter of century,
and who, as reported the other day,
is now back in Stuttgart, gives an in
stance of the espionage which pre-
walls in Japan. One of his best
friends in Toxic was the Russian am.
bassador, who, one day, summoned
him to his house, as he was Ill. DR..
Baelz remained with him two hours.
A few days later war was declared.
From that moment the mikado and
his courtiers treated him with icy pc
likeness in place of the former cordi
atty. He finally succeeded in discov.
ering the cause. A local journal had
denounced him as spy. He went
straight to court and explained the
matter. The mikado, convinced of his
innocence, promptly begged his par
don, summoned the editor of the jour-
nal referred to, who also had to apollo.
gize to the professor.
