Public ownership, as practised in the re- public; has been a distinet and dismal failure, and it will have its reflex action upon conditions in this coun- try. .

I'he incident in her history that started Australia along the high road 10 prosperity was the discoveiyy of gold in 1551, which caused an en-' ovmous inrush of immigrants from all parts of the world. It was at Sudnmerhiil Creek, just twenty miles north of Bathurst on the Mas. quarie Plains, that a gold miner irom Calirornia, BE: Hargreaves----dis~ covered 'the precious. metal in Feb raary Within three months a rush began in thousands and in the same year gold was found successively at Anders son Creek, near Melbourne, jallarat and Bendigo. The idea of federation of\all the Australian col- onies had alwyys been in the minds of the leading statesmen, and in the original constitwiion of New South eg reference is made to the ad- visability of the establishment of a 'general assembly to make laws in connection with inter-provinecial questions." In 1889 Sir Henry Parkes took the first definite steps to bring about federation, and in 1898 a draft bill was drawn up and referred back to the different states for their approval or rejection.

Inecreas- of farm land is given as Most of the tenants de- become owners. State and aid is being sought by the to aid returning soldiers to a foothold on the land. to Rippling Rhymes is one that will require most careful § investigation. While it might seem | at first sight an easy way. to dispose of a large number of cases not dealt! with by the courts, and the penalty al just one, there are many <circum- stances that would make the sweep- ing application of such a law very uns Just. 2 It has been estimated that about one-third of the cases reported as! defaulters were found, upon investi- gation, not to he defaulters at ally the reason why there was such a large list of persons classed as defauslters can only be explained by the ecare- lessness, inefficiency and indifference' of the members of the original local] tribunals. In many cases the indi: vidual sought was overseas or already in the army. Incidents are reported' where the man was classed as a de- faulter, when, as a matter. of fact, he! was dead--killed in action in France two years before he was scheduled for conscription. Many ether cases' were found where the man was suf. fering from an incurable disease, or had lost a limb in amputation. The same condition obtained. in respect to the listed deserters, The) gemma. names of men were on the list who were not desertérs, while a great many actual deservers were left oft. | It is, therefore, obviously unfair io, pass a law effecting a large number, of people without having every case listed as a defaulter or deserter pro- | pearly investigated. There is another] view of the matter, too, which should 'be considered: that is, whether men who were punisied in the courts'| should be punished a second time. The Whig knows of one case where a young mah was classed as a defaulier whose father and two, brothéis, were overseas and the only reason why he LET THEM GO If a man is discontented with this country of the free, with, a government invented for such folks as you and mp, let him take his aunts and nieces, pack his bombs and knucks and cresses in his second hand valises, and go sailing o'er the sea If a man comes here to jabber while the other fellows work, if he's prone to be a stabber with an anarchistie dirk, tell him, through our faces, we'll be happy if he chases to the foul and foreign places where his fellow loafers lurk. If a skate from Europe's alleys comes to this star spangled shore, hoping by his quips and sallies to make honest workers. sore, let's condemn his crazy notion, let us curb his weird emotion, let us lead him to the ocean and the ship that sails at four. War has left our people nervous, and we should reduce | to junk any freak who comes to serve us with a lot of Russian bunk; let us treat him as a traitor, as a sin- fil agitator, let us load him on a freighter, where the billows go perplunk. --WALT MASON. | | | i \ ingston - Cape Vincent Ferry ROCKPORT NAVIGATION CO, LTD.
