WHITE MEN THRIVE IN TROPICAL LAIRDS OF NORTH AUSTRALIA (By Associated Press) Sydney; N. S.

Advocates of the introductiqp of( cheap colored labor on an indenture •system or contracts for periods of; years have contended that northern Constitutionally unfitted." To exclude Australia being, tropical afforded a climate for which white men were races able to develop this territory was, they argued a dog-in-the-man ger policy; Bui medical opinion now says white,people not only can live in tie tropical north, but thrive there. A recent pamphlet issued by the Ccmm'onwealth Health department stnied that after a generation’s trial it 'airly could be said that white men could work in the tropfeal anas of Australia without the labor pf color ed racea. „ In this tropical life, it eras-added, the British were holding their own with the other white rades. “As worker* in the ;sugar. belt,” stated file pamphlet, the?

He spoke of the indifference of the cit> toward the deaf and the bereaved. He described how he himself merely tele phoned the florist to send a spray. Then at the last moment, he slipped into the undertaker’s chapel, stayed just long enough to be recognized and slipped out again. He compared this with a country funeral where the dead man lay in his own home and was. carried to his last resting place on the shoulders of his neighbors. He spoke of the interest displayed by everyone and of the kindly helping hands held out. To me these two pictures suggest but one conclusion. The narrato’ evidently had never attended a cit; funeral that meant much to him. Bn* he had been to a country funera’ that touched him closely. That was all. The people in the city are the same as those in the country. There is no difference. The same warm hearts, the same helping hands, the same svmnathy. I attended a funeral in a large city 'not long ago. The dead man lay in his own home until the time came for his last rites. The house was so besieged by would-be helpers that relays of persong had to be selected to meet those who would assist and to take their affefctionate message of condo Yence. It was necessary to appoint one just to take charge of the flow ers sent. For two days preceding the funeral the street in front of the house was lined with automobiles which their owners had placed there with the hope that they might be of some service. Of course this was a man of af fairs and wide influence. But I am reminded of the funeral of a simple factory workman who lived humbly in the midst of a large city. So worthily had he touched the lives of those with whom he came in con tact* that one hundred and fifty auto# red him to the cemetery, average man’s-sphere is more limited in the cjty than in the coun try, Ho'-may know fewer people but their hearts are just as kind. There is no difference between city people and counter people. If a man ha. SO lived in the city that be has won the affection and respect of With whom he has associated, adil.be light there when the he has so hived around ill HIKER DISPROVES OLD ideas that Australia IS MOSTLTiWA8TE LAND i (By Associated Prats) Sydney, N. S. W., Jan. 9.—Edward A. Cook recently completed a leisure rtroll of more than 2,000 miles, as the crow Diet, from Melbourne to Darwin in the rtortDW Australia.
