A new broom should sweep clean, more especially when held by a man with splendid muscles and controlled by a keen brain. It is not so very long ago since their owner, Mr Lionel Hill, the new Premier of South Australia, Was tt blacksmith's striker at the Islington railway works (states the Adelaide correspondent of the Melbourne "Age"). Moreover, the same muscular individual was a leading footballer, and represented South Australia more than once against Victoria in inter-State matches.
