TltE UNLEARNED ROAD.
There Is a road all travel-worn,
And rutted deep by men;
A way that stretches ages long
Between the Now and Then.
Deep are the shadows gathered
there,
Along this unlearned way,
But youth sees not. nor asks,
nor cares,
But pays, as youth must pay.
Look down these stretching
years, oh youth,
Between the Now and Then;
Look down this shad'wy road,
and learn
How unnamed, unmarked men,
All travel-stained and conflict-
worn,
Have done good labor there;
For those safe-anchored at the
Here
Must help those calling
"Where."
Arthur W. Copp.
A REGRETTABLE STEP.
i A labor demonstration held In Port
land Sunday was for a good purpose,
but It appears that through the pres
ence of W. D. Haywood, of the West
ern Federation of Miners, the main
object of the meeting was forgotten
and a resolution was passed that can
not fall to Injure the cause of labor.
The main object of the Sunday
demonstration was to voice a protest
against the Imprisonment of Gomp
ers, Mitchell and Morrison, who have
been given Ja'.l sentences for con
tempt of court. Against the decree
of Judge White sentencing these men
to jail the labor world has a right to
protest. These men merely told the
truth about the Buck range company.
In view of the action of the federal
courts w'.th reference to the Stand
ard Oil company's fine the sentenc
ing of the labor leaders to Jail seems
particularly unjust
But at the Portland labor meeting
the protest against Judge Wr'.ght's
decree was overshadowed by the fol
lowing resolution, which was passed
at the instance of Haywood.
"We, the citizens of Portland, in
mass meeting assenjbled, protest
against sending troops Into peaceful
communities, and we likewise vigor
ously protest against the use of sol
diers at any time when the labeling
class Is endeavoring to Improve Its
condition. We demand the Immediate
repeal of the Dick military bill."
This resolution sounds bad. Honest,
law abiding men need have no fear
of troops in the United States. In la
bor disputes they are seldom brought
Into use unless lawlessness prevails.
Then they are needed for the protec
tion of labor aa well as capital. The
rioting striker Is the greatest possible
foe of labor. This fact has long been
recognized by the better type of labor
leaders such as Mitchell, Gompers, et
al. These men know that labor's only
hope lies In using lawful means to at
tain redress of wrongs. Only the rad
ical organizations, such as the West
tern Federation of Miners toler
ate violence, and this organization,
under the leadership of Haywood.,
Moyer and Pettibone, has dona vast
Injury to the cause of labor.
The action of the Portland laboring
men in adopting Haywood's resolu
tion Is to be regretted.
JAPAN'S SYSTEM.
How Japan la able to handle the
enormous Indebtedness growing out
of Us wars with China and with Rus
sia has long been a mystery to those
not familiar with the revenue raising
methods of the Mikado's jrovernment.
But light Is thrown upon this' subject
by Adachi Klnnosuke In a current ar
ltcle upon Japan's financial condition.
"The basic answer to the question,
'How does Japan manage to pay her,
bills' can hardly be found In the sta
tistical table of her financial annual,"
says this writer. "The greatest asset
.of our emplrs la sentimental. That
cur western friends may see this fact
clearly, permit me to put u In the fol
lowing manner: Let tno government
of the United States go to Mr. Smith
In Chicago, Rnd Mr. Brown In Wall
street and say to them, 'You are re
ceiving $100,000 a year Income, and
we want you to give to the support of
the government In one form or an
other $30,000 a year of your Income.'
Let the German government or the
Rritish go to their people and say the
same thing. What would happen? A
first class revolution on the spot.
"The people of Japan are perform
ing the financial miracle of giving up
about 30 per cent of their net Income
every day, without saying a word
about It. In other words, the great
est asset of the Japanese empire of
today Is the patriotism of her people
Yet Japan's system of raising mon
ey is not a bad one. Though the taxes
at this time are of necessity very
heavy tit would seem that they are
equitably distributed. The people of
the empire pay taxes in accordance
with their ability to do so. In the
United Statesythe people pay an In
direct tax In the form of higher pric
es due to the tariff. This tax Is far
from being justly distributed.
A JESUIT SCHOOL.
It is wolcame news that the Jes
uits are thinking of establishing a
young men's college in this city. Pen
dleton is the center of a vast terri
tory and one that will eventually have
a far greater population than at pres
ent. The geographical position of
Pendleton makes it admirably suited
for a school town. It now has cdu-
'ational Institutions, public and pri
vate, that are highly creditable to
the city. But a Jesuit young men's
college would meet a different need
from that supplied by schools now In
existence here and it Is to be hored
the Catholic order will carry out '.he
plans for a college In Pendleton.
Several thousand people are now at
tending a peace conference in Chi
cago. The object of the congress is
a worthy one. But it should be held
over In Asia Minor or at some other
point in the orient. The United States
is already at peace and desires to re
main upon good terms with all the
world.
"I came across the plains to Ore
gon In the days when they ran trains
by means of steam engines and it took
four or five days to make the trip,"
will be an oft heard statement at pi
oneer reunions some 50 or 60 years
from now.
This evening the monthly meeting
of the Commercial association will be
held and it will be the first session
since the rooms were renovated.
Though the work is not yet complet
ed the rooms now present a far more
creditable appearance than In tb.e
past. Be out tonight.
Pendleton can build fine churches,
anyway.
But a new theater Is .needed.
ROOSEVELT, CERVERA, WEYLER.
By a really remarkable coincidence
the news dispatches from Spain dur
In the short period of forty-eight
hours last month revived memories
of the American-Spanish war In a
way to emphasize how far both coun
tries have moved during the decade
that has passed and how changed
are their relations. On April 2 ex
President Roosevelt landed at Gibral
tar for a brief visit while on his way
to Africa. On the same day the Span
ish cabinet, so the cable dispatches in.
formed us, publicly announced its de
finite Intention to reconstruct on mod
ern lines the Spanish navy, which has
been a negllgable quantity since Cer
vera's"defeat at Santiago. The next
day Admiral Cervera himself, who
bore such a gallant part In the con
fllct of eleven years ago and who
earned the high respect of the Ameri
can military an naval forces, passed
away at the ripe age of seventy. The
evening papers of the same day in
Madrid announced that General Wey-
ler had completed his memoirs, deal
ing chiefly with his campaign In Cu
ba. A week later, on April 11, came
the exDlratlon of Article IV, of the
Treaty of Paris. Which gave Spain
equal commercial privileges with the
United States In the Philippine Is
lands. From 'The Progress of the

JAPAN'S IU RDKX OF DEBT.
It seems lncreditable that a nation
which In 187S, hud a debt of $33.-
SS6.931, should find itself only thirty
years later burdened with one of more
than $1,120,000,000. Hut such la the
plight of Japan. At the close of the
ye:ir 1908 the natlonnl debt of Japan
amounted to $1,120,565,000. And this
h the way It grew:
The Issuance of the public loan
bonds In the fiscal year of 1787-9,
amounting to about $93,000,000, In
creased our Indebtedness by one Jump
from 1.9 yen per head to 6.9 yen.
The second great Increase came with
the Chinese war. In 1S97 we found
ourselves under the load of nn indeb
tedness of nearly $211,000,000. Then
came the Russian war. The govern
ment met the extraordinary expendi
ture of this war by the flotation of
exchequer bonds five times In the
years 1904-5. The first, second, and
third issues, amounting to $140,000.
000, bore Interest at 5 per cent, anil
the foutrh and fifth issues, aggregat
ing $100,000,000, Intese.st at ' 6 per
cent. These last two Issues were re
deemed in 1906 with the proceeds of
the 4 per cent sterling loan of 25,
000,000, which wag placed In Lon
don. Paris, New York and Berlin.
This hundred and twenty-five million
dollar loan sold at 90 and Is to run un
til 1920.
These domestic loans were, of
course, utterly Inadequate to meet the
war expenditure. Therefore, the gov
ernment placed abroad the two 6 per
cent loans amounting to 22,000,000
sterling, pledging the customs duties
of the Empire as security.. These
loans have already been consolidated
and redeemed. In March, 1905, the
government floated the first 4 Va per
cent loan of 30,000,000. alf of this
amount, which sold at 90 and which
will run until 1910. was floated in
London and the other half In New
York. This loan was secured by the
first charge upon the net profit of the
tobacco" monopoly. The second 4 Vi
per cent sterling loan for the same.
amount was Issued In London, New
York and Berlin In July 1905. This,
like the first, was secured by the pro
fits of the tobacco monopoly. We do
not know Just who are holding theso
foreign loans of ours at the present
time. Neither Is there any way of
knowing what proportion of them is
held In New York, London, Pari and
Berlin, but the majority of our bonds
are undoubtedly held In these four fi
nancial centers. From "Japan's Fi
nancial Condition," by Adachi Kln
nosuke, In the American Review of
Reviews for May.
REIIIXD THE HAT.
A good head Is the most essential
qualification for the man behind the
bat. Players can be fairly successful
In other positions If not overburdened
with gray matter, but a catcher with
out a quick-thinking apparatus. In
perfect working order, would be its
out of place as a prize fighter- at a
girls' academy. The catcher must
have for his motto: "Think, . think,
and keep thinking." If he makes a
slip, the whole team Is likely to go
up. Throws to the plate, to catch
runners trying to score, must be
handled perfectly. An error Is at all
times discouraging to the members of
a nine, but when that error lets In a
run, It Is doubly demoralizing. And
In nine cases out of ten, an error by
the catcher la Just such a one.
Quick throws to the bases often
catches runners napping and pull a
team from a bad hole, but these
throws are dangerous, and generally
when they go wild they pave the way
to a score, and subsequent defeat.
Much more might be said about
the man behind, but space prevents.
I believe that I have made a fairly
strong argument tJ support my claim
that the catcher has the hardest and
most responsible position on a base
ball team. Patrick Moran, catcher,
