We will be glad to receive items of news and reports of branch  

meetings, especially from the Country Branches. Such reports will  

tend to keep our members more in touch with each other, and  

promote friendly intercourse in manner that must be beneficial to  

the Association.  

Contributions, on National or Association topics, sent to the  

Editor, care of our Business Manager, will receive careful attention,  

and will find place in our columns, should the subject be deemed  

of sufficient importance.  

FEDERATION.  

“ Fling out the flag, let her flap and rise  

With the rush of the eager air,  

With the ring of the wild swan’s wing  

As she flies from the swamp and her reedy lair.  

Fling out the flag, and let friend or foe  

Behold, for gain or loss,  

The Sign of our Faith and fight we fight—  

The Stars of the Southern Cross.”  

The Conference of Premiers in Melbourne has been  

productive of the happiest results, and Federal pros-  

pects never looked brighter than at the present moment.  

Mr. Dickson has promised that if New South Wales  

passes the Bill he will do his utmost to induce the  

electors of Queensland to accept it, and the Premiers  

of other provinces have taken up similar attitude.  

Mr. Reid has not got all he asked for. No alteration  

has been made concerning inland rivers—a matter that  

has caused much trouble and the Federal Capital is  

not to be Sydney, nor within one hundred miles there-  

of, and, although it is to be in New South Wales, it is  

to be Federal territory, to consist of not less than one  

hundred square miles, and any Crown lands therein  

are to be gift to the Commonwealth from New South  

Wales.  

The deadlock clause has been simplified and made  

more acceptable to the democratic mind—the three-  

fifths majority having been struck out in favor of an  

absolute majority.  

It has been found impossible to better the Braddon  

blot —so-called —for the present, therefore it is decided  

that for the first ten years that clause shall remain  

the Federal Parliament to have the power to alter and  

amend after that period.  

The Federal Parliament shall sit at Melbourne until  

it meets at the seat of government.  

The alterations are such as recommend themselves  

to Victorians, and there is no doubt but that the verdict  

of the 3rd June will be repeated—at least, in this  

province.  

Mr. Reid promised to do his utmost to induce the  

people of N.S.W. to accept the Bill as amended, and  

should they do so, it will then be submitted to the  

different Parliaments for the referendum of the electors-  

The Board of Directors would do well to consider  

and recommend what attitude the Association should  

adopt in the matter —whether to wait until the people  

of New South Wales give their verdict, or to discuss  

the question right now.  

TO CONFERENCE DELEGATES.  

The desirability or otherwise of discontinuing the Art  

Union held in connection with the Annual Fete will be  

the subject of much discussion at the approaching Con-  

ference, and delegates will do well to consider both  

sides of the question, for on the result of the vote very  

much wiil depend. We do not intend dealing with  

the pros and cons of the subject in this issue, but will  

leave that until later.  

There is, however, point somewhat connected  

therewith that needs attention. Some of the ardent  

supporters of both sides—principally those who advo-  

cate the continuance of the Art Union—are loudly  

threatening to vote against any member of the Board  

who dares to speak or vote in opposition to or in sup-  

port of —as the case may be —the Art Union. It is at-  

temped to establish species of terrorism.  

Now, it need not be feared that the actions of indi-  

vidual members of the Board will be greatly influenced  

thereby, but the result maybe, seeing that the contest for  

some of the seats is very close, that more eligible  

candidate may be rejected by few votes in favor of  

one less desirable because the latter may hold views on  

the question more in accord with the majority of dele-  

gates. Such result would be harmful to the Associa-  

tion, and the delegates should consider well before they  

allow their votes to be influenced by any considerations  

of the kind.  

The Art Union is, by consent of the Board, entirely  

outside the scope of that body. They have held aloof  

from settling the question as to its continuance or other-  

wise, deeming the Conference to be the proper authority  

to give or withhold sanction in that direction. What  

more liberal action can be expected of them They  

recognise that there is great diversity of opinion  

amongst the members, and, rightly enough, they recog-  

nise that the Conference delegates, elected whilst the  

discussion was at its height, will more correctly repre-  

sent the true feeling on the question. And to the ver-  

dict of the delegates in Conference assembled they  

will doubtless bow.  

The Board of Directors are elected for other pur-  

poses than the running of Art Unions, and the correct-  

ness or otherwise of the views on that question of any  

member is no guarantee of his ability to assist in the  

conduct of the affairs of the Association. It is sufficient  

if in this, matter he permits the final decision to rest  

with the Conference.  

We hope that delegates will see she position in its  

true light, and pay no attention to the partisan-denun-  

ciations of one-eyed delegates, but vote for the men  

who are, in their opinion, most fitted to lead the Asso-  

ciation in Association matters —remembering that, as  

each year passes by, that work is becoming more and  

more difficult, therefore the greater need of obtaining the  

services of the ablest and straightest men obtainable.  

TO SUBSCRIBERS.  

For the future we intend illustrating Ad-  

vance Australia. In each issue there will  

appear portraits of well-known A.N.A. men  

and leading branch members, as well as pic-  

tures of other kinds.  

We have also increased the number of  

pages from twelve to sixteen, thus enabling  

us to print more matter of general interest  

than we have been able to do heretofore.  

All this means much greater expense, and  

to meet it we have raised the subscription by  

the amount of is. 6d. per year. The price,  

therefore, from the ist February of this jour-  

nal will be ss. per year, post free.  

Those subscribers who have paid (or who  

forward their subscriptions on or before the  

end of the present month), and whose term  

is not yet expired, will receive the paper at  

the old rate until the expiry of the time for  

which they have paid, from whence they will  

be charged at the new rate.  

Subscribers not wishing to continue under  

the new conditions will please notify at once.
