Alice did not reply. She was mem

Fame could ever estimate the worth
of land and houses far above the love
and happiness of her only son.
1t was a cloudy Fourth OF July, and
the noisy demonstrations OF the pa

forth on the drive all alone. His

The Referendum I'm Australia.

AIIC HcuduIIA AuSCEaAd.
Vested interests are hostile to the
referendum because by charging the
power of the people over their own
affairs 1t threatens curtailment OF
the power of the interests over the
people. The referendum and Us
handmaiden, the initiative, now pro-
vided in several states, and present
ly to be provided in several others,
would be generally adopted practic-
ally without opposition but for the
interests hostility to it.
And yet it is by no means GER
tain that the people will improve
the opportunity offered them in the
referendum to unsettle conditions
and approve every radical course
suggested. There is testimony in
proof of this in the vote on consti-
tutional questions submitted to a
popular referendum in Australia re-
cently-questions, by the way, which
sooner or later will have to be
answered in this country.
According to the Review Of Re-
views. the first proposed to give the
federal parliament power over all
matters Of trade, commerce, and in
dustry within the commonwealth
The second provided for the nation
alization Of monopolies and for CIV
ing the federal government power to
take possession, upon equitable terms
Of any enterprise officially declared
by parliament to constitute a monop-
oily. Both measures were defeated
by popular majorities of more than
100000 votes
THE measures were vigorously
advocated by the socialists and labor
parties and their rejection is looked
upon as a serious setback for labor
as an organized political movement
in Australia. The labor party, which
went into power in the common
wealth last summer, has heretofore
had things much of it's own way in
the legislature. 1t has been in IA
vor of liberal emigration laws for
the white races, and has done a great
deal toward building up the coun-
try. The platform upon which 1t
was elected is not a long one. It's
principal planks demand the main
tenance Of white Australia" pro-
lection: the naturalization of mo-
nopolies; a graduated tax on unim-
proved lands; a commonwealth bank,
reduction of public borrowing; and
Insurance against unemployment"
