Australia's Capital City.

The confederation of the Australian
colonies of Great Britain has decided
that it needs capital city much as
the American colonies decided that
they needed capital city in WASH
ingtons time. Our Australian BROTH
ers propose to build a city in much the
same way. setting apart a portion of
the land where no city or settlement
now exists and building thereon a city
suitable to their needs. They will ask
for plans for this new site in a world
wide competition. giving the best
architects an opportunity to submit
their ideas. In all parts of the world
there are architects who are much
given to redrafting city maps and Of
fering tentative plans for great NUM-
cipal improvements, civic centers. and
the like. Australia now offers them

high plateau with perfect drainage
and perfect water supply.
1t remains to be seen whether the
new confederation will profit by all
our mistakes. At Washington we per-
mitted large tracts of land to pass 10
private ownership. only to buy them
back again at round price, within
comparatively few years. The ne"
capitol should reserve to itself SUI
ficient land for future building needs.
The site which has been practically
agreed upon is in South New Wales on
plain elevated from 1850 to 1900 feet
above the sea level, 1000 square miles
in extent and enclosed by mountain
ranges on each side. 1t is near an ex-
cellent harbor and adequate trans
portation facilities will be provided be-
tween the capitol and the seaboard.
1t is thus seen that the physical
features of the site are almost ideal
The site is at present called Camberra
but it is not likely that this name will
be attached to the new city.

Somewhere the breezes softly blow
Somewhere brook sings to the sea.
And blossoms swaying to and fro
Still somewhere lure the honey bee.
The lark and linnet full of joy,
Somewhere exuberantly sing;
But in the street a hungry boy
Is shedding tears and shivering.
Somewhere the day is warm and bright
Somewhere contented lovers stroll:
Somewhere upon some cleaning height
. A victor may have reached his goal;
Somewhere conqueror may strut
And. armed men guard the king who
sleeps,
But one in yonder wretched hut
Above her pallid baby weeps.

Fair winds and golden suns
Down the years dim aisIes of gray
depart;
But you are the dear white rose of the
world
That l hide in my heart.
Last leaves. and the first wild snow,
And the earth through an iron void is
whirled:
But safe from the tempest abide in my
heart.
o dear white rose of the world!
Blithe air and flashing wing,
And awakened sap that thrills and
flows:
But hid from the riot and haste of the
spring
Sleeps one white rose
o scattered leaves of days,
0 low-voiced glories that fade and de-
part,
But chan~eless and dear through the
changing year
Blooms one white rose in my heart

A Salutary Lesson.

The Supreme court of the United
states has sent six men to Jail because
negro was lynched. One was the
sheriff of the county in when the
crime was committed, another was his
tailor. 1t was adjudged that they were
in contempt of court for failing to
properly protect their prisoner when
thew knew that frenzied mob was
likely to endeavor to take the law into
it's own hands The others were or
dered punished for participating in the
lynching. The six men now behind
barred doors are the only men found
guilty. out of q at first accused.
The action Of the court is without
precedent. 1t is the first time that
six men have been imprisoned for con-
temnt of the Supreme court and it is
also the first time that the lynching
of a Negro has resulted in the con-
finement of men by order of the Fed
eral court. ssiANIEB
The effect of this unusual proceeding
will be far-reaching. 1t adds new
dignity to the court Gf that is possible)
and furnishes sharp warning that,
in dealing with the Federal courts
there is a point beyond which one may
not go without suffering the conse'
mIences Long immunity from jail
sentences as punishment for question:
able acts, did not tend to inspire the
awe for the Supreme court when

lessons such as that furnished by the
present case will doubtless drive nome
a realization that the arm OF The law,
while often withheld for various rea-
sons. is nevertheless long and power
ful and ever available when the cir
cumstances warrant its use. The SYM
pathy of manly men goes out to the
sheriff and his venerable jailor. not
/ ecause they are being punished, but
because they erred so that punishment
became necessary.

tions.
"a remarkable fact now presents
itself viz. that the latitude of Cape
