~ ERLIN, May 12.-Fraulcin DR..
- Anita Augsburg, high prlestcss
of the German claimants of votes
for women, has served 20 terms
in prison for her insistence In behalf
of her cause, and probably holds the
record.
THE Anita" as her followers call
her. has now attracted attention again
by her Reputation OF the Social Demo-
Suffrage movement. This c!lme as a
big surprise, for the Socialists have
long been looked upon as the especial
friends of the advocates of Votes for
Women" To be sure, Or. Augsburg
has always held herself alOof from
party POLITICS, believing that she could
be more useful as u free lance; but
she has always urged her followers IL
join one or other of the several par
ties. preferably the Social Democratic
or Liberal organization. Now she do
clareS that the former are, at best only
''platonic frlends' OF tho cause OF wo-
men, and that In some countries they
are even active opponents of the right
of women TO the franchise.
Probably the movements of no other
woman in Germany, outside the mem
bers of the royal family, are followed
40 closely by the public as those Of
Doctor AUGSBURG. She Is a familiar
figure In almost every part OF tho Ger
man empire, her mass OF short, curly
hair and close-fttins reform gai'b
making her an easy mark for the curl
GUS. Her clothes are so masculine that.
by joke OF fate, she was once ar
rested by the police OF Welmer on the
suspicion OF masqueradng in woman's
clothes.
1t is DR.. Augspurgs tongue which
has landed her so often behind prison
bars. She Is a fearless speaker and IN
a country like Germany where women
have so few rights her opinions on the
equality of the sexes are regarded as
little short OF revolutionary. On tn,
public platform she says what she
thinks about Institutions and person.

SLIGHTLY DISGUsTED
A few days after his arrival he was
taken by John Burns. the president of
the local government board, himself
an eX-labor leader, TO see how some
of the unemployed We're made useful on

HEALTH BROKEN.
Tom Price was born in North Wales.
but soon after his birth bis father
moved to Liverpool, where he was
brought up. The foundation of his edu-
cation Was laid in a penny week
board school, but when he was years
old the family necessities compelled
him to become a bread-wnner, and he
went to work. Whatever he learned
after that was in the school OF life
and from reading at home after his
days work. He became a stone mason
| and a good one, and when he was 20
| years old he found himself a jobbing
| employer in a small way, with n wife
| and baby. His health broke down,
+, however, and the doctors told him that
If he remained in the English climate
1t would kill him, so with the remain
der of his savings he decided 10 cmi-
| CRATE.
INTERESTING INCIDENT.
He reached South Australia in tho
| middle of a period of depression. but
with characteristic energy he set to
work to seek employment. Work was
scarce. however. and finally he asked
an employer TO allow him to work a
week on trial The trial was so sue
c'assful that he remained with his en-
| ployer for eight years. It Is an in
teresting incident In his career that the
first building he was employed on in
south Australia was the parliament
house at Adelaide, whore he now resides
as premier.

EXAMPLE OF SOCIALISM.
Since then the progress of South Aus
tralia has been a steady one toward
real social democracy, and i'll this Brit
ish colony the world can see AN exam
PIE of Socialism successfully at work
Let ii not be ilnug tned. however, that
there has been any radical conhscatiou,
The principle adopted by Mr. Price
is that all public activities should be-
controlled by the state. and that when
the state had allowed them to pass into
private hands IN the past they should
be Acquired at once.
CONTRACTS ARE SACRED.
"Wc believe in sticking to contracts"
he told me, and where our fathers had
allowed these activities to fall into pri-
vate hands we made an offer to the
companies controlling them If they
accepted the offer well and good but II
they did not we asked them to name
their price. II that seemed to us too
large we agreed with them on the APP
pointmcnt of an arbitrator, and then we
gave them 10 per cent over the arbi-
traitors award to compensate them for
the disturbances"
STATE OWNERSHIP.
All the railways in South Australia are
owncd by the state. and they are one of
the country's most valuable assets.
That their management is excellent is
shown by the fLct that although high
wages are paid the railways earned Il
profit of 6 per cent last year. The OBJ
ject of the government, however, is not
10 earn profit, but to give the people
of the country the lowest possible
freight rates, while paying the railway
workers the highest possible wages
Accordingly the freight rates Will be re-
duccd next year.
FREIGHT RATES.

help our farmers and manufacturers
and To work the railways to the best

Prussia assumes the wole burden of the
civil list Emperor William taking on
the Job of kaiser Of the German empire

The reason given for this request for
higher wages is the fact that the cost
OF living has materially increased In
Germany and that his majesty's cham

"forty-nino castles" rs chcaply as
heretofore Which draws attention to

advantage for every one while securing
a maximum of comfort to the workers.
The minimum wage paid for the COM
monest labor is si.7S Il day and from
that the wages rise to the highest tig-
ure paid anywhere for equal work. We
believe that this is the lowest sum that
a man can live on and enjoy FAIR
amount of comfort. The way in which
We help our farmers and manufacturers
Is illustrated by what we did last year.
Wool is one of our chief articles of pro-
duction and last year the price Of WOOL
was down IN the market 80 per cent.
We were able to give our farmers re-
duction in freight rates which enabled
them to earn about as much as ever
from their wool crop.
POLITICAL ASPECT.
1T is often contended by the old
fashioned school of political economists
that the state. as AN employer cannot
get efficient service. That is a. fallacy
Our men realize that their promotion
and their tenure of office depend on the
they give us as good II not
better work than they give pri-
vate companies or employers. The
influence on politics OF the vote of the
railway workers also Is greatly eXag-
gerated There are 1000 miles OF rail-
way and the men are scattered all
along it, The only place where their
vote Is a matter Of any account is at
Islington where the railway workshops
are. The value of our railway now is
over S65, 100000.
