Why? The fault lies alone with the

backs and must be kept growing from
the day they are hatched until they
are placed III the laying quarters.
There is no secret about the matter.
At no time in their life must they be

IF RUSSIA INVADED INDIA.
Would Meet with Vigorous Oppose
ton at the Hands OF the
Afghans.

Much has been heard OF ldte regarding
the possibility of a Russian invasion of
India, and. as most people know, this is
a matter in which Atghanistan would
play a very prominent part, says q Lon
con paper.
The Afghans would, of course, strong
ly resist any attempt to invade India
through their country; not so much per-
1aps out OF friendship for Great Britain
IS from a fixed determination not tosub-
nit to the domination of any other race.
Fierce and numerous as they are. the
Afghans have bCen~twice conquered by
the British, but the task of holding the
e0untry was so great that our govern
ment found it a wise policy to leave the
Afghans independent. merely entering
into an agreement with the ameer that
he should have no treaties with any
power but the government OF India. In
return. q large annual subsidy has heen
paid him, every penny OF which, 1t is
said, has been spent Oh equipping the
Afghan army. which now numbers over
100000 men, armed with all the latest
rifles and artillery.
A knowledge of this fact naturally
cools the 'ardor OF the most hellicose
Russians, especially when they have
so much On their hands elsewhere.

The School Art Competition.

The Star has been highly gratified at the
enthusiasm displayed by the teachers and
pupils of the public schools and the public
generally in respect to its offer of a number
of art collections to be distributed among
the school buildings of the District. On all
sides are to be seen evidences of a hearty
appreciation OF the fact that the Washing
ton public schools were in need of a stimu-
lus in the direction of art decoration. 1t is
earnestly anxious that a substantial begin
ming be made in this direction. They have
co-operated zealousy with The star IN lis
endeavor to interest the children in this
line OF thought and there is no doubt what
ever that the competition for these groups
OF art reproductions will increase IN spirit
throughout the period assigned
In another part of today's issue is printed
a statement of the number of votes cast for
those schools which have been formally
enrolled in the competition. The number OF
schools in this list. however, is misleading,
virtually the entire list OF school buildings
IN the local system--have enlisted in the eff
fort, although all have not yet filed the
coupons collected by them. 1t is to be
urged upon all the teachers OF the District
TO adopt at once the plan OF fling the cou-
pons as fast as they are gathered. BY this
means will be avoided final rush of votes.

of the winners OF the several groups Of art

But even with the coupons known to be
held in reserve, the total submitted during
this first week of the competition is de-
cidedly gratifying to all concerned In this
work of stimulating the interest OF the
school community In the subject of art dec
Grafton. The tens of thousands Of coupons
that have been filed attest to the activity
of an army of pupils, who have become in
timately acquainted with the object OF the
enterprise. Throughout the schools these
art collections are under daily discussion.
Already the educational effect has been ap-
probable, and the children are studying
classic subjects and growing familiar with
the names of the art world.
One of the most important developments
thus far in this competition is the fact that
very many of the schools are absolutely
destitute OF decorations of a refining char
acter. In some cases the teachers have
personally contributed out of their slender
raised the means for the purchase of casts
and pictures by dint of hard Individual eff
fort But of systematic school decoration
along the lines of classic art there has been
none whatever in the past, and The Stars
hope is that this competition will prove to
be of decided benefit to the schools. not
alone in the bestowal of sixteen groups of
statuary upon many buildings. but in the
arousing of a strong public sentiment in
favor of continuation of this refining in
fiuence through all the branches and build
ings of the Districts educational system.

Politics and Death.

A New York politician has sued New
York editor for libel, giving as the cause OF
action a cartoon in which the former is rep
resented as a wrath standing at the head
of his own grave This the politician re-
sents, and asks for money damages.
A lawyer of the old school in one of the
border states used to relate an experience
of his in a case of something the same
kind. His client was a public man whose
course in a certain matter had been the
subject of severe criticism, and one man
was charged with saying of him that as the
result of his action he was dead and
id" The politician sued for damages
on the strength Of those words and the
cause came on to be heard.
The defendant denied the phrase alleged
but admitted that he had said the plaintiff
was dead and buried" He was asked as
to the difference between the two phrases
.'All in the world he replied. Il said
that Mr.. X was dead and buried There
can be no doubt about his being dead, for
he is out of office and done for, and the
dead are always buried. If l had said that
he was dead and id l should have

which occasioned his demise. That 1 did

The Chinese Exclusion Law.

The following appears in a Washington
press dispatch on the subject of the Chi
nese exclusion law:
"A recent modification of the regulations,
II is said makes an absolute breach in me
exclusion wall. The regulation in question
required before it was modified bond or
$500 to be furnished by the transportation
company for every Chinaman in transit
through the country, and no laborer would
be allowed in transit. The bond has been
entirely done away with. This fact, taken
IN connection with the ease with which a
laborer can now persuade an inspector that
ne is a merchant and only desires to pass
through the country, constitutes the breach
in the wall. Once in the country in transit
Ii is an easy matter to get off the train at
auy .esired point and remain. This modi-
fcatlon of the regulations in favor of The
Chinese has not as yet become generally
understood. When it is. officials look for
all Influx of Chinese in transit. "
An official whose attention should be
called to this is the President of The
United States. Congress alone has the
mower to make IAN absolute breach in the
exclusion wall" If the action of any minor
official is having such an effect, or is likely
to lead to such a result. it should be re-
scinded at once. The law prohibits the
entrance of the coolie, by trick or other
wise,

Uncle Sans Printing Bill.

If Uncle Sam wants to save money on his
printing bill he should first of all decide just
how much he is willing to spend yearly on
ink and paper, and determine to stick closely
TO the limits he has set. Then he should re-
solve not to be irritated if his public printer
insists upon calling attention to the limits
of the appropriations. He must restrain the
ambitions of the members of Congress who
like to their names and illusions in
print. He must safeguard all the defenses
against swelling the output.
Next he should open night school for the
typographical instruction of bureau officials
who have literary aspirations. If they are
to be allowed to have say as to the style
in which their pamphlets appear they should
be trained IN the ways and means of good
printing. Or else they should be ordered
and forced to keep hands off the printing
office while that big shop is in the throes of
composition and printing.
Certainly the departmental official who In
sists upon changing his titfe-page proof
sheet fourteen times is a trifie particular.
In view of the low estate to which the aver
age government pamphlet or bound book
has fallen it may not be amiss to say that
such nicely or vacillation of judgment is
dispropOrtionate. The commercial publish
ers have their woes with the authors who
demand the last fraction of type face for
their personal exploitation. but they at least
reserve the right to determine as to the
artistic phases of the print.
The government has gone into the pub
fishing business at a heavier rate than was
ever contemplated in the beginning of things
IN this country The years output of books,
pamphlets and leaflets from the big shop on
North Capitol street exceeds that of any
other print shop in the world. and it Is not
remunerative enterprise. Some cynical
people aver that 1t is waste of good
money. There is, however, a popular de-
mand for some free printing by the govern
ment. The Congressional Record still has
its stanch friends who read it religiously, re-
CARELESS of the politics of the editor. But
the Record and the products that are really
worth while are but a small fraction of the
total yield in scrap-book materials. Seek
the proof through the country. Look in the
woodsheds and attics.
Truth is, the government printing has been
entirely too literally conducted for years
past. There has been an insufficient realiza-
ton by the members of Congress that 1t
costs money to change plates, to revise edi-
TONS to follow first editions with correc-
tons, to revise speeches from beginning to
end for the sake of the library prints that
find perhaps one reader in ten thousand.
Perhaps the present inquiry will disclose
the reasons why the public printing Is ex-
travagantly done, why there are probably
ten prints where there IS public use for but
one why there are many applications and
much padding. Then, if these things are
learned by Congress. through its committee.
1t will remain with the houses to determine
whether the old way is still to be main
tanned, or a new way, the way of good bust
ness and good results, is to be inaugurated.

Secretary Bonaparte is quoted as express

and "a resretting that he did not see more

For men of Mr.. Bonaparte's stamp the
stump should possess many attractions and
more of them should give it trial AS
rule. the political orator addresses the most
interesting and responsive audiences of all
public speakers. Politics with us is man

and a capacity for deft terms are essential

But u man of the Bonaparte grade can
accomplish both results, and by the best
means While thorough in his training and
equipment, he IS not at all heavy. He has
wit and story and illustration in plenty.

to convince. In word. he knows what he
IS talking about. and his audience at once
discovers that the man in the speakers
stand has a message.
At every point in what may be called the
national game-the great game of politics
we need an improved order of men. The
planning OF campaign. the execution of

achieved should all be intrusted to men not
