return to the old Spencerian system.
with its slant of 90 degrees. but they
advocate a modified slant.
"The vertical system is fast losing
its popularity all over the United
States. 1t was a fad in the first place
without rhyme or reason to support
it The pupils in the Walla walla
public schools have been afflicted
with it along with millions of other
children, but the day of their deliver
ance will soon be at hand. The YER
teal system has about run its course
and it will soon be consigned to the
junk heap of educational hobbies"
From close observation and dis
cussion. with leading educators of Or
egon, the East Oregonian finds that
more public school scholars, between
the ages of : and 70, write a beauti-
full, legible hand writing, right now,
than at any time in the history of
public schools in the state, and this
fact is due to the vertical system of
penmanship.
1t is simple, symmetrical, uniform
and easily learned. 1t is artistic, be-
cause of its very simplicity and is
easily taught and never forgotten by
the child learning it early in life.
Before its introduction, every child
had a system or way of its own,
ana a small per cent of young schol-
ars wrote legible or symmetrical
hand. Now the papers, examinations
compositions and all written exercises
of the public schools are legible, in
uniform hand writing and show arr
/ in every curve and line.
Save the vertical system. 1t has
made a generation of good penmen.

RUSSIAN CREDIT is IMPAIRED.

Since fighting began at Mukden,
both Japan and Russia have been
quietly negotiating new loans abroad.
Japan has placed two loans since
the beginning of hostilities, the first
last May after the battle of the Yalu,
the second last November after Lao
yang. Today her credit is far higher
than when she sold these bonds.
It is significant that the Paris bank
ers before lending more money to
Russia are insisting that the czar take
steps to stop the war. In spite of the
exigencies of the alliance, popular
sentiment in France is declaring itself
against financing a war with which
no class of the czar's subjects outside
of court circles is in sympathy. Yet
curiously enough Kuropatkln's defeat
| because logically it points to peace
/ has caused no decline in Russian Sc
curities. OF these the French are by
far the heaviest holders. The one
loan floated in Berlin was encouraged
by the German government for both
political and commercial reasons, IN
order to insure a trade treaty Will
Russia and to effect large scales Of
war supplies. But it is to France thai
Russia turns again for help, an(
France is none too keen in the cir
cumstances to trust more of her saw
ings in Russa's wasteful hands.
As a matter of. fact. Russia ha
been borrowing largely on her size
Although her population is 10000,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-03-22

900, to carly the immense foreign
debt the peasants are so heavily tax
ed that they must sell their grain as
soon as it is harvested and exist at
the point of starvation. The growth
of manufacturing industries gave
some relief, but it was so arttficially
stimulated that three years ago a
sharp reaction set in. What indus
tries survive have suffered from the
war financial depression and tire re-
cent strikes. Internal conditions no
less than the repeated repulses of the
Manchurian army are bound to affect
the worlds money markets when the
car goes borrowing.
Russia's ability to prolong the war
indefinitely depends more at this mo-
ment upon her governments success
in raising money than men. No doubt
another army could be created, given
money and time enough, but where is
the money coming from? The czar
may yet have to make peace with
Japan because the foreign bankers
dictate it.--New York World.

NOT BUILT FOR ToRRID ZONE

Americans were not built for the
torrid zone.
Men who are abnormally big men
in the affairs of the temperate zone
dwindle to nothings, in the destruc-
tive climate and environment of the
Isthmus and the Philippines
Railroad engineers who have con-
structed the greatest engineering
wonders on the American continent
where intelligent labor was available,
climate moderate and surroundings
most congenial, are staggered in an
attempt to make a success of the
management of the Panama canal
Horace G. Burt, former president
of the Union Pacific, will prove no
exception to the rule. He made a
great success of railroad
ment in the temperate zone with
nature and circumstances in his fa-
vor, but he will prove to be the same
helpless pigmy, in the face of the ter
rible enemies in the torrid belt.
Gradually the vital reasons for the
French failure on the isthmus will
dawn upon the minds of the Ameri-
can people. Such a task cannot be
directed from a distance and no ac-
tive. hard-thinking man can long
Withstand the rigors of that hot spot

Portland Cement in Colorado.

The Geological Survey recently Is
sued a report on the cement materials
and industry of the United States, in
which comment was made upon the
rapid growth of the manufacture of
Portland cement in this country. An
idea may be formed of what this
growth has been by considering the
statement. while In 1890 the total pro-
duction of Portland cement in the
United States was 800 barrels, val
ued at $439.050, in 1903 1t exceeded o.
900. 900 barrels, with value of over
27.00O.000.
In this enormous growth Colorado
has had some part, although by no
means so conspicuous as some of the
other states. The only Portland ce-
ment plant in the state is the one near
Florence in the Arkansas valley. This
plant is well supplied with available
material for the manufacture of cc-
ment ON large scale. and there is no
reason to doubt that the industry will
grow into one of great Importance in
the course of time.
How long 1t will be before the mar
ket will justify the erection OF other
plants Is an open question, but that
the material Is available In abundance
In regard to formations of limestone
which may be utilized for this purpose.
East OF the front range. to say moth
ing of what may be developed west OF
that line, there are several belts OF
Niobrara limestone. One of these en-
ters the state from Nebraska by way OF
the South Platte valley, which 1t fol.
lows to point between Fort Morgan
and Greeley. Another enters from
Wyoming and runs due south from one
to six miles wide. Boulder stands near
It's western edge, while Fort Collins
and Marshall are near its eastern bor-
der. This belt thins out toward Golden
and then soon disappears.
Another belt begins about ten miles
north of Colorado Springs and contin-
ues south far enough to include Colo
rado Springs, Fountain. Pueblo and the
town of st. Charles within It's limits.
An arm Of This belt extends up the Ar
kansas valley as far as Canon City, and
another up Huerfano river to Huerfano
park.-Denver Republican.

CONFIDENT OF PEACE.
JAPENEsE DIPLOMATS VIEWS
Japan Will Demand an Indemnity to
Cover Cost of the War-Wants
Negotiations to Be in Eng
lish Lanquaqe.

New York, July 26-That Japan will
demand an indemnity of Russia in the
negotiations for peace and that the
war will be declared at an end at the
conclusion of the negotiations at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, next
month, is the belief of Baron Komura,
head of the Japanese peace delegation,
who arrived here yesterday, as voiced
by Aimar Sato, who is the official
spokesman for the baron on this mis-
sion.
Mr.. Sato, in an interview last night,
said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the ap-
pointed delegations The Japanese will
be guided by moderation, and no ex-
cessive demands will be made, but the
sentiment in Japan and Russia is for
peace, and in the interests Of humanity
and property there must be peace.
THE cost to Japan has been very
great. On both sides the loss in men
has been $4,000, Russia losing 100000
of these. The was is costing Japan ST.
100000 a day, and there is feeling
that there ought to be an indemnity.
"The Japanese are not so gentle as
to abide by any decision we may make,
puI tucy pay SlSdl ISoPSSI " lhS VI
fees of President Roosevelt and his
acts have done great deal to empha-
size the need of peace"
Mr.. Sato further said that the jap
anese would p0fer to have the nego-
tiations in the English language, as
neither Baron Komura nor himself
speaks French. The matter, however,
would be settled after President Roose-
welt had met the two representatives.
AS to the attitude of the Japanese men,
bers toward the Russian delegates, Mr..
Sato said:
I'VE admire NJ. Witte and Baron
Rosen. The announcement of NJ.
Whites appointment to the peace party
was more welcome to us than that of
any other person could have been. We
recognize him as a great statesman"
Japan's attitude toward China was
most friendly, said Mr.. Sato, and while
maintaining no moral Monroe doctrine
over the empire, she felt that 1t was
more or less under Japan's protection.
This protection, by way of illustration,
Mr.. Sato said, was mot so strong over
China as that of the United States over
South America"
Mr.. Sato emphasized the announce
ment made frequently before, that ia
pan does not seek territorial aggran-
dizement, and on this point the speaker
said:
I'VE want in Manchuria equal op-
portunity, or what Mr.. Hay called the
open door,"

INSURANCE LICENSES.
Colorado Commissioner Reaches Out
for Amounts UneolIected.

Denver, July 26.-The state insur-
ance commissioner reports that his
investigations INDICATE tn that fhS Ho,hrsSo ims"-
go, -~-------1So operating IN COlOrdQO
have managed to evade taxation to an
amount approximating $4,000. He is
reaching out to collect unpaid license
fees that have become due during the
past six years and expects to gather
in from $4,000 to $4,000 within the
next few weeks from this source.
The law provides that insurance
companies mot the solicitors) shall
take out yearly license for each and
every solicitor and pay the sum of 81
therefor. But all this time the COM
panies have been sending in lists of
agents each year and at the same time
receiving business from agents for
whom they have paid no license, al
though possibly these agents may have
been licensed for other companies,
which by no means fulfills the require
ments of the law.
When he began to check up, the
present commissioner found that ten
agencies were owing the state (for the
six years past for which the statute of
limitations will permit him to collect)
as follows: $50, $64, STA, $126, $240,
1928, $424, $49S, $500, $S0S. There are
over 200 insurance companies doing
business in the state SO it can be seen
what the outlook is for replenishing
the treasury from this source.
When Commissioner Rittenhouse be-
gan this work the agents of some of the
companies refused to permit him to ex-
anime their books, but soon discovered
that the law authorizes him to do so.
Although it has been seldom enforced,
the law empowers the auditor of state,
who Is eX-ofiicio superintendent of in
surance, to administer oaths, subpoena
witnesses and punish fot contempt by
fine or Imprisonment any company or
agent refusing to permit an examina-
tion Of its or his books.
But, while there has been some op.
position, many agents are said to be
anxious to see the law rigidly enforced,
as 1t promises to weed out consid-
cradle number of worthless and ire
sponsible agents.
Altogether the insurance department
has already collected $1G9,000 in fees,
etc, this year and expects to bring
the sum up to 100000 before the year
closes.
