ONE AND TWO STORY ,JAPs.

When the Jap came out of his late big war,
with the crown Of valor and victory burning
sunlike on his little brown head 1t is not sur
prising that he set about making a series Of
observations. He had found out by the last test
that can be applied-that is, the fighting test
to which, so far as power and authority in ma
uOnal influence in the worlds concerns 60 all
the others are still subordina ted-that he was
much more important parsonage than he had
thought he was. 1t was, therefore in some
degree mortifying to note in new and stronger
light than ever that when he came to measure
up physically against his vanquished foe and
the ethnic generations of the West generally
he was personally and racialIy rather a one
story proposition He came up only TO the
waistband Of the giant enemy whom he had
OverthrOwn, and was like David fronting Co
Hath or the Liliputians pinnng to the earth the
monstrous Gulliver. AS it was quite clear that
destiny had prescribed for him an important
relation TO the worlds affairs and progress. If
devOlved on his cOmpatriotS Of light and leading
TO look into the matter and find out whether he
had all the height and bulk he was entitled 70 {.
whether some or these had not been frittered
away In frivolous and depicting ancestral Gus
toms, and, if so, whether there was not some
way in which they might be gradually got back
and the race restored to heroic size and stature.
such as, according TO its legends and story books.
1t primevally enjoyed.
Some Of those entitled 10 speak with authority
on the subject In general think that the Jan
has not in recent centuries had the right kind of
food TO make him grow. Give him this they say.
and he will soon be towering into the air like
Saul OF Israel. But If what he has eaten hith-
ertO has not tended TO make him big boned and
herculean like his Muscoyite neighbor It has
developed him into most robust and enduring
| little creature worth his weight I'm wildcats I'm
a scrimmage and well equipped for the various
| duties of national life according TO its most
| eXacting modern standards.
There IS high authority for the declaration
that the leopard cannot change his spots nor the
| Ethiopian his skin, and Notwithstanding the en-.
/ cOuragement Of his wise men, with their dietary
and sumptuary prescriptions, the Jap will most
| likely find difficulty IN changing his stature to
/ the extent that his desire and ardOr may lead
| him TO expect. He Is probably anchored perma
nently 10 his racial and ancestral conditions and
| viii remain little chap so long as his tribal
| history continues. With a continental area tC
| expand upon and some hundreds of races e
| interblend with his own for some thousands OF
| years, he might il not lost i'm the shuttle
| spread out TO considerably larger dimensions
| But there is no room or opportunity for that IN
his home islands. The future OF the japanese
however, may conceiyably be shaped by theii

and conventions. and for the pay and transporta-
ton OF speakers.
Fourth--For the rent. maintenance and fur
nishing Of offices.
FTfth-For the payment Of clerks. typewriters,
stenographers, janitors and messengers actually
employed.
Sixth-For the employment OF watchers at
primary meetings and elections TO the NUMBER
allowed by law.
seventh-For the transportation OF voters to
and from the polls
EiEhth-For legal expenses, bona hde. incurred
IN connection with any nomination or election
This is a fair summary of the objects for
which money may be legitmately spent by can
didates or parties. Under a law which sue
ceeds in abolishing contributions from corpora
tons the average campaign fund will hardly
support an undue extravaganza in organization,
and to meet demands admitted to be legitimate
the party treasurers will have their hands full.
The present freedom of political action will not
be seriously abridged; but, on the other hand,
the secret misuse of political contributions,
which has been the curse Of machine politics
for the last twenty-five years, will give way to
another style Of electioneering-the style which
appeals to the voters intelligence and sense OF
civic duty rather than to his cupidity, ignorance
and prejudice. law like Pennsylvania's, put
on the statute books and rigidly enforced, would
work a benefcent revolution in political morals
and political practices.

ALRSHLP OF ArTOnORILEa

The Count de Ia VaUlx, an experienced French
aeronaut who is now in this country, evinces
skepticism regarding the success of Mr.. Well
mans plan for reaching the North Pole. He
remarks that up to the present time no airship
of the kind which the Chicago explorer proposes
to use has ever stayed up more than four hours.
This does not prove, however that one could
not be kept aloft for a much longer period. rs
tablish the proper ratio between the lifting
power Of the gas and the load at the outset, and
reduce the leakage by improved construction,
and it should be feasible to surpass the most
notable performances Of balloons which merely
drift Some of these have made voyages con-
siderably more than thirty hours long To test
the buOyancy as well the engines of his air
ship, it is to be presumed that Mr.. Wellman IN
tends to make one or more experimental trips
IN Europe before he goes North. 1t would be
folly not TO learn in advance exactly what he
can expect Until there has been such demon
stration, however, an adverse judgment seems
premature.
The Count de la Vaulx himself has become in
fected with the passion which animates Com
mander Peary and Mr.. Wellman. He confesses
to cherishing an ambition to discover the South
Pole and outlines scheme for doing so which
is not without good points. He has been con-
sidering the feasibility of employing the same
means Of transportation for the final stage Of his
ferring. AS The Tribune pointed out the other
day. the automobile is much better adapted to
travelling over the surface of the Antarctic Con-
tinent coated with ice though 1t be- than the re-
gion around the North Pole. The Arctic Ocean is
covered with an icepack which is not only
rough and irregular, but liable to develop broad
seams. In some ways the vehicle on which Mr..
Welman will rely is better suited to the locality
in which it Is proposed to use it than is the
automobile, but in the field in which the Count
de Ia Yaulx hopes TO succeed the automobile
apparently promises greater efficiency, If not
greater safety.
An automobile is out of the question however.
without a suitable supply of gasolene or other
/ fuel and the Count de Ia Vaulx deems it essen
tial to the success of his scheme TO provide
chain of stations at which stores of this ma
! terial as well of food may be deposited in
advance. The main idea is an excellent one, but
| the method by which he would execute it is open
| to criticism. Balloons which are neither self
! propelled nor steerable would in all probability
| go astray. Dogs and sledges or a small airship
| of the kind Mr. Welman will use, or even an
| automobile would give a better assurance of
reaching the spots selected for the caches IN
| less that feature Of the Frenchman's programme
! should be modified therefore. we suspect that he
would find the remainder of it impracticabie.

DEFENDS PROPOSED GAME BILL
Francis A. Winslow Takes Issue with M
HOrnaday on importing Birds.
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: My attention has been called 70 a letter n
The Tribune Of March 70 regarding a bin now
pending in the legislature providing for the sale
Of six European game birds under certain restrc-
tons in the State OF New York during the close
season
The distinguished author OF the letter referred 70
has evidently not seen the text OF the proposed
measure. Foreign game birds sold IN this
state during the open season under bond. The new
bill proposes TO permit the sale OF six European
game birds only, throughout the year, under bond
and under such restrictions as the Game Commis-
siOner may impose. II this bill becomes a Law
these birds can be imported only with the feathsrs
heads and feet on. One does not need to be a.
ornithologist to be able TO distinguish the enu-
merated birds from domestic birds; that
with the other restrictions contained IN the BILL
will be practically impossible for dealers TO SUB
stitUte domestic game.
Mr. Hornaday, in his letter, refers % the gang
interested IN the bill. using the name OF dealer
in this city as an adjective thereto. beg TO ad-
wise you that the New York Poultry and Game
Trade Association IS not only a large and repre-
sentative body OF honorable business men, but that
one OF the aims Of the association IS to assist IN The
impartial and thorough enforcement OF the gaHs
laws, to the end that favOritism may be shown TO
none; and. although the association has been Or
ganized only a few months 1t promises 70 3 one
OF the greatest aids possible TO the protection q
domestic game. The association was not conceTnea
in the litigation TO which Mr.. Hornaday refers
The game birds which are named in the proposed
measure are dissimilar from American birds aad
Of Europe, and are exported under the sanction q
law How their importation under the rigid reslle
the slaughter OF domestic game is something bsyo1i

proposed law will eliminate from the New IoIA
markets competition OF domestic birds aaa 5 IA
