ent from the others as to amount al
most to a language.
When the territory became subject
to the Commonwealth of Australia in
1907, a system of indenturing labor
for the plantations was introduced
which, it was thought, would prevent
the enslaving of the ignorant natives.
White men rule in Papua through
divisional magistrates and a native
constabulary. The men of the con
stabulary are trained, and more or
less educated. They speak many of
the curious dialects of the Papuan
village communities.
What’s Required.
The government requires the “boys’’
to “sign on” their indentures betore
a magistrate, who is supposed to
protect the “boy’s” intersts.
The magistrate has to see that
each recruit understands where he is
going, for how long he is indentured
and how much he is to be paid.
There are inspectors, too, who tour
the plantations, inspect the “boys’ ”
quarters and see to their welfare' gen
erally.
If the magistrate be a clever lin
guist and a fearless, incorruptible
man all goes well. But if he speaks
only one or two dialects, he is at the
mercy of his native interpreters. Not
only magistrates but planters as well
are often deceived by unscrupulous
professional recruiters. The latter
are able to have indentures signed by
natives who are really fiercely antag
onistic to a three years’ sacrifice of
their freedom.
Punishment of Breacher.
The result is desertions from the
plantations, regular slave hunts, by
the native police, and the punishment
of blacks for breaches of contracts
into which they have never knowingly
entered. All this can happen under
the sway of a perfectly honest incor
ruptible magistrate.
Accounts of cases where native po
lice threatened men with the destruc
tion of their villages if they refused
to sign on a term of years; of the
actual handcuffing of many “boys”
who decline to come away quietly at
the bidding or recruiters and of" the
capture of the entire able-bodied

The Capitol’s Chamber of Hor

(Syracuse Post-Standard.)
In that room in the capitol at Wash
ington once used by the lower house
of cogress, now given the flattering
title of Statuary Hall, is to be placed
another triumph of the sculptor’s art.
The chamber is now crowded with the
handiwork of inconspicuous artists, of
whom it is only fair to say they did
the best they could, portraying in un
fortunately deathless bronze and mar
ble the great, near-great, momentari
ly-great and obscure sons of states

It was good old Senator Morrill who
was responsible for the creation of
this collection of figures, which ranks
in popular interest with Mme. Tis-
Baud’s. The Vermont Senator propos
ed that each state should be privileged
to send effigies of two of its sons to
this national Valhalla, as it is always
called when the speeches of presenta
tion and acceptance are made. His
proposl was accepted. The senator
died before he knew the damage he
had done.
Into that small hall are crowded, as
closely as figures stand on an Italian
vendor's tray, Grant and Prances Wil
lard, Ethan Allen and George L.
Shoup, Garfield and Pere Marquette,
all manner of men distinguished and
unremembered, in all sizes and poses
and costumes, a veritable jumble, ut
terly lacking in harmony of subject,
material or arrangement.
To this heterogeneous collection
Kansas, with a pride in her own un
mitigated by a sense of humor, con
tributes a statue of her favorite son.
That alone is sufficient reason for wanting the
best made. Rest is considered more important than
recreation, and sleep is nature’s greatest means of
resting the body.
That is a second and greater reason for want
ing the best mattress made.
