AUSTRALIANS CELEBRATE
THEIR NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

The people of Australia celebrated,
on Jam. &c, the 126th anniversary Of
the establishment of the first perma-
nent white settlement on the worlds
largest island and smallest continent.
For many years Jan. 26, which comes
in the middle of the Antipodean sum-
mer, has been one Of the great nation
al festivals of the Australians, and it
is a legal holiday in all the states Of
the commonwealth. 1t was on this
date in 1888 that GoGvernor' Philip
founded the city of Sydney, with 1000
emigrants. For many years thereafter
Australia was a dumping ground for
English and Irish %convicts; but the ma
jority of them reformed and ]prospered
in the new country, and they and their
descendants laid the foundation of one
of the greatest and most enterprising
progressive governments in human
history. Many Australians are as proud
of tracing their: ancestry back to a
convict as the American is Of boasting
of May1oWer descent. While their
sisters in the mother country are fight
ing for the ballot, Australian women
have long had full suffrage, and they
gained that right without the neces-
sity of fighting. Many other reforms
which are agitated in America and
Europe, and which are considered radi-
cal to the verge of socialism, have long
been incorporated into law in Austria
liza, and both Of the leading political
parties are what we would consider
radical different only in degree. The
labor element is powerful, and the
eight-hour day is established by law.
The powers of the state and federal
~parliaments include the right of en-
forcing arbitration and Cancellation in
industrial disputes.
Australia now has a population Of
over 100000. Sydney, the first settle
ment on the continent, now has about
$500 people, while Melbourne, in
Victoria, has about 500, 900, although
it is much younger than it's rival, hav-
ing been founded in 1887. Melbourne
is now the capital Of the common
wealth, but it will soon lose that honor,
as the federal capital will soon be es-
tablished at Yass Canborra, a. new city
now in the process of. construction. In
transferring the seat of government to
a new municipality, Australia is fol-
lowing the example set by the United
States and Canada, as both Washing
ton and Ottawa were literally hewed
out Of the wilderness. Magnificent
public buildings are now being CON
structed at Yass C%anborra, and the
city is being laid out by some of the
worlds greatest experts in city plan
ming. When completed it will be one
of the most beautiful of the worlds
capitals. ..'

New York Post: Just seventy
five years after the founding
of the Anti Slavery and Abort
gines Protection society in England,
that body undertakes international eX-
pansion. Lords Curzon, Cromer, and
Bryce are urging the establishment of
an American branch. An affiliated So
ciety has been organized in South AT
RIGA. h opening of a branch in Ger
many within the month has attracted
no little public attention. In Italy,
the society has helped rouse the gov
eminent to protest to Portugal against
the slavery of San Thome and Prin-
cipe. The society was established il
1888 as thu result of a government in
quiry unde- Buxton, co-worker with
Wilberforce and Macaulay, into the
treatme t Of the indigenous popula-
ton Of the colonies. With the growth
Of colonizing activity in other nations,
the time was ripe for extension of the
society's influence. Certain recent
and widely scattered abuses have
reused the feelings Of men interested
in backward races, n given the So
ciety a new claim to recognition.
Still in the public mind are the Put
umayo atrocities, and those Of the Bel
gian Congo and Portuguese Africa.
They indicate what advantages the
society may realize from enlargement.
The obvious difficulty is in dealing
with states or corporations sensitive
to foreign criticism. But the inter-
linking of business relations, the deli
cacy of diplomatic ties, the quickness
of n people TO interpret rebuke as
Pharisaism, make important a joining
Of hands. Lord Cromer has summar-
lied the potential evils in his discus
sion of slavery in Angola. 1t was
nomlnally abolished in 1875; but the
society proved last summer that it
persisted in a contract labor system,
under. Portuguese. sanction, and with
J scarcely concealed brutality. Even the
slave trade was SO stubborn that
within twenty-five years $4,000 slaves,
worth over e2,500,00, have been ship
ped to the %(coastaD islands" Yet the
society's representations led to an I'M
seelnly wrangle with the British for
eign office. The latter's refusal to pro-
test was in part due to distrust of ar
emotional body. In larger, part il
rose from unwillingness to offend Port
ugal, Or to go behind her protesta-
tions that all was well. Happily, the
very controversy has moved the Lis
bon colonial office to reforms. An i'm

ORDER.

The first chapter of the Order of the
Visitation was founded at Annecy by
st. Francis de Sales, whose festival is
celebrated today. In this good work
he had the cooperation Of st. Jane
Frances de Chantal. who survived him,
and who established eighty-seven
houses Of Visitation. At first no in
closures were built, as st. Francis de-
sired that the sisters be free to visit
the sick and needy in their homes.
There was no mother superior provid-
ed for, but they were to be under the
direct supervision of the bishop. The
rules governing the sisters. as formu-
lated by st. Francis at Annecy in 1910,
were mild but minute in detail. The
order was sanctioned by the pope in
1927, and has spread into all European
countries and to the United States,
Canada and South America. The Wis
..itation order was introduced into
Lmerica by Teresa Lalor about CEN
fury ago, and has accomplished q
great work among the poor and the
sick and aged.

The President as Leader.

From Constitutional Government in

son: He (the president) cannot es-
cape being the leader Of his party ex-
cept by incanacity and lack Of per-
Sonal force, because he is at once the
choice Of the party and Of the nation.
He is the party nominee, and the only
party nominee for whom the whole
nation votes. : There is nc ma
tional party choice except that of
president. No n else represents the
people as a whole, exercising a ma
tional choice. " y I" He can domin-
ate his party by being spokesman for
the real sentiment and purpose of the
country, by giving direction to opin-
ion, by giving the country at once in
formation and the statements of poll
cy which will enable it to form it's
judgments alike Of parties and OF
men.
For he is also the political leader Of
the nation, or has it in his choice to
be. 9 Let him once win the adj
miration and confidence Of the coun-
try, and no other single force can
withstand him, nc combination OF
forces will easily oyerpower him. = =

er feels the zest of action SO much as
when its president is of such insight

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Fears of a cold
wave were bull helps for a day, but
its failure to materialiZe resulted in
free selling and q decline in prices.
Stocks in this country are liberal and
1T is the belief Of exporters who have
been doing most of the business with
the dashboard that there must be a
decline in May to 92c at least to bring
a renewal Of the export buying. There
is a rather bearish winter wheat stu
alton at the moment and a strong one
in the spring wheat in the northwest.
Sensational figures on the smallness Of
supplies have been sent out from that
section and the position there is
stronger thar in the winter wheat Sec
ton. Corn is looked upon as q two
sided proposition by some of the best
traders. There are, however, many
radical bears who say there must be a
decided improvement in the cash de-
mand and in values or futures will de-
cline. A disposition exists amon a
set of sharp traders to buy corn on all
good declines on the theory that prices
are low, enough for the present and
that the disappearance of corn on de-
clines when the heaviest selling is on,
shows h a some large interests are
absorbing the offerings.
