sions and departments Of the State OF
Connecticut will have to get leave TO
print If a certain bill which has been
favorably reported by the Committee
on Appropriations becomes a law
This bill creates state Board Of Pub
licatfon'' composed of the comptroller
the treasurer and the State librarian.
1t is going to be the duty Of the board
to examine the annual and all special
reports, and all other documents issued
by or on behalf of the State by any
State officer, board, commission or de-
partment, and to define the form and
extent thereof before an order for the
printing of the same is given by the
COMPTROLLER. State officers, boards,
commissions or departments may, in
addition to their annual reports, make
such special reports or compilations
from their annual reports as shall be
deemed by the State board of publica-
ton to be of practical utility. All
State officers, boards, commissions or
departments, before entering upon the
preparation of any publication, shall
submit careful statements of the scope
and estimates of the size of such publ
cations to the State board of publica-
ton, who shall have power to deter
mine the number of pages to which
any such report may extend, and to
determine whether it shall include
maps, plans, photographers, woodcuts,
or other Illustrations; and no such re-
port shall be printed by the comptrol-
Ter unless it has been approved by said
board.
It might not do any harm to have
such a board of censors in Connecticut
if it would act vigorously and intelli-
gently. Perhaps the, establishment of
such a board might lead to the censor
ing Of governors and mayors mes
sages. That would certainly be boon.

TIE cnLnR 49, ID KANSAS.

Many people in and out of queer
Kansas will not be pleased by the an
nouncement that the color line has
been again drawn there by the legisla'
ture. A bill authorizing Kansas City,
Kansas, to establish separate high
schools for coIored pupils has been
passed by the legislature at Topeka
and reluctantly signed by Governor
Hoch. This enabling act comes under
a section of the Constitution which
leaves the decision of the question of
separate schools to the Kansas legisla-
ture. AS long ago as 1879 a law was
passed under this Constitutional provi-
sion authorizing cities of the first class
to maintain separate schools for
schools below the high school. This
Kansas City case extends thus to high
schools.
The constitutionality of the law of
1879 has been before the Supreme court
of Kansas in four cases. In three of
these the question arose in cities where
no express legislative authority to
maintain separate schools had been
conferred, and the court naturally held
that in such case the maintenance of
separate schools was unauthorized.
Judge Brewer, now justice of the SUI
preme Court of the United States, how
ever, wrote a vigorous dissenting opin-
ion in which he contended that Boards
of Education had power to classify pu-
pills according to residence, sex, color.
proficiency or any other way, saying:
I see no half way place: under the
power of sole control the Board of Ed
ucation has the power to classify as to
it shall seem best SO far as is not in
terms prohibited; or else under the pro
vision for freedom of schools each child
may determine for itself what school of
its grade of scholarship in the city it
will attend irrespective of any question
of territory, sex or color. ~

MAXI IRn UT TILE CAR


Evidence continues to come in that
the Gar is not strong man. An ac-
count is given of some remarks made
by M. Demchinsky, the well-known
"meteorologist," whose influence was
supposed to have induced the Gear to
publish the decentralization manifesto
of February 26 March III, 1908. NJ.
Demchinsky is reported as speaking of
the Gar with remarkable freedom.
1.-THE Gar" he said, lis well read and
of great intelligence. He is always an
imated by the best desires, but is, I'M
fortunately, totally without will. No
one has lasting influence over him, and
when he hears that any one is sup
posed to influence him he at once holds
him at a distance. So it was with me.
AS soon as it was stated in the Euro
pean press, which he reads diligently,
that was his most influential adviser,
he sent back to me my penultimate
memorandum with the remark, Every
thing is known to me- I was given to
understand that it would be wise for
me to hold my peace for the future.
So I did, and meanwhile Plehve had
me arrested, though was released at
the Cars command, Now 1 believe
the time to have come when the Gear
will listen to his old adviser again, and
therefore I handed in my last memo
randun1. I do not think I am wrong,
for some days have passed and it has
not yet been sent back to me-" This is
the memorandum arguing that the
summoning of the Zemsky Sober would
not necessarily lessen the autocracy of
the Gear.
A ruler totally without will is not a
very safe man for himself or others.
But perhaps the Gear has more will
than he is credited with. There are
times when he seems to have enough
wrong will.

SOME CHEERING LESSONS,

All the Warlike nations are learning
from the smart Japanese, and it APP
pears that even the peaceable but pre-
pairing United States can learn some
thing from them. For instance, the
talk in military circles in Washington
is that the bayonet is to be more
thought of. The tendency has been to
reduce it to a weapon of secondary i'm
portance, combining its functions as
stabbing implement with that of a
cleaning rod, the reason having been
given that the long range modern rifle
had made it impossible for troops to
charge in the open field in the old way.
But Gen. Crozier, who has been inves-
tigating this subject, now says: ''This
development" (referring to the rifle
lesson of the Eastern WARP, "consti,
tutes a new consideration, and if it can
be regarded as established, the bayonet
again becomes a weapon of first-class
Importance, and must be so designed
as to be an efficient instrument. From
this point of view, the rod bayonet fails
to meet the Requirements, as it is not,
and never was thought to be, a thor.
oughly efficient weapon for purposes of
hand-to-hand combat"
Good. 1t is also cheering to read
that the officers and cavalrymen of the
American army are to have sharpened
swords hereafter if they want them.
Heretofore the accepted type of militia
ry sword in this country has been rath-
er blunt, and a considerable element in
the army maintained that the spirit of
the rules of modern warfare was OPP
posed to keen edged sword. But
modern practice is the other way, and
the Japanese in particular sharpen
their cutting swords so that they fire.
