United States of Australia.


 One hundred and forty-three years ago on April 2S, Captain Cook made England a present of the great island-continent of the south to be known as Australia, a territory just about the size of the 1 United States of America, eXclu- sive of Alaska.
 It was April 2s, i770, when Cook sighted the coast of the great island, and going ashore and finding a wilderness of plants and flowers they named the spot Botany Bay" It is little strange that this beautiful place should have been used for a long time as a dumping place for Eng fish convicLs. The convicts were the first settlers,' and to their credit, and to the credit of human nataure in general, it is said that they became the progenitors of some of the finest people in the country.
 Sydney was founded in l788, other settlements were effected and by 1921 the population of the island was l,765, and things be- gan to look up. Melbourne was founded in 1887, and ten years later the population of Australia had risen to 100000. In 1851 gold was discovered, and in l5 years the white people of the is- land-continent numbered I,30O,- lOOO.
 From that time the progress in every respect has been steady, the population today being 5,00O,0O0 and 6,OOO,OO0. Melbourne and Sydney are great cities of more than half a million each, with all the appliances of modern science. and all the push and progress of jmQdrrn civilization.
 That Australia is a coming country, that it's future is destin- led tu be a great one. is already assured.
 The first matter to be consid- cred in connection with the cast ing nr co mtry's horoscope is ;lS population. and the character of that population. When it comes lo the development of a r"un- ny and the abliShmrnI of real civilization. one man with tn" right sort of blood in his veins and he right sort of gray mat ter i in his grain i- worth a thousand. or d million. who may be lacklng in those directions.

REFUSE T0 TAKE
FELONS 70 JAIL
FAILURE or LEGISLATURE TO
APPROPRIATE THE EXPENSE
MONEY CAUSES A BALK.
SHERIFFS ARE ON A STRIKE
Tulsa County Official VIII Not Re-
move Prisoners TO Penitcn-
tiary lie Declares.

Several convicted felons. now lam
gushing in the Tulsa county Jail, Will
not be taken to McAlester to servo
out their sentences unless the state OF
Oklahoma sees fit to provide the
money for their transportation. This
was the ultimatum issued yesterday
by Sheriff VIM. Mccullough. who has
joined with nearly every sheriff In
the state in strike" over the con-
veying Of prisoners to the state PEN
itentiary.
No Hope In Sight.
The last two state legislatures have
failed to make appropriations to re-
munerate the sherlffs OF the state
for the money they have paid out ol
their own pockets In transferring pris-
oners to the McAlester institution and
with prospects apparently poor for an
appropriation at the present session
even, the shoriffs have practically de-
clared Strike"
Many Of the sheriffs have paid out
I'm the neighborhood Of $1,000 in pay
ing the expenses OF transporting prls-
oners to the penitentiary, and In
most of the cases this has made quite
an lnroad on their salaries. They
will refuse from now on to take con-
vcted persons to McAlester until the
state pays them for the money they
have thus expended in the past and
provides II fund to be used for that
purpose in the future.
Mccullough Talks.
az have gone as far as I intend to
with the state" said Sheriff McCul-
lough yesterday. 81 have been pay
ing money out of my salary for moro
than two years, to carry out the or
ders of the courts In criminal cases.
1t don't look like the sherlffs were GO
Ing to get recognition at this legisla-
ture, and we certainly can't afford TO
spend money lobbying for something
that should have been given US long
time ago. As far as l am concerned
the people who are In the county jail
now under penitentiary sentences can
stay there until dooms day, unless
some provision Is made for paying
the expense of taking them to Nc
Alester."
