But a new theater is needed.
ROOSEVELT, CERvERA, WEYLER.

BY 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 negligible quantity since Ger
vera's defeat at Santiago. The next
day Admiral Cervera himself, who
bore such a gallant part in the con-
flict Of eleven years ago and who
earned the high respect of the Ameri-
can military and 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 Gu
ba. A week later, on April IL, came
the expiration Of Article ~, of the

BEHIND THE BAT.

A good head is the most essential
bat. Players can be fairly successful
in other positions If not overburdened
with gray matter, but catcher with
out a quick-thinking apparatus, in
perfect working order, would be as
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
nine, but when that error let's in a
run, it is doubly demoralizing. And
in nine cases out Of ten. an error by
the catcher is Just such one.
Quick throws to the bases often
catches runners mapping and pull a
team from a bad hole, but these
throws are dangerous, and generally
when they go wild they pave the way
to score, and subsequent defeat.
Much more might be said about
the man behind, but space prevents
believe that / have made fairly
strong argument to support my claim
that the catcher has the hardest and
most responsible position on a base
ball team.-Patrick Moran, catcher

JAPAN's BURDEN OF DEBT.

1t seems lncreditable that a nation
which in 1878 had a debt of $685.
SS6,93l, should find itself only thirty
years later burdened with one of more
than $1,12O, 100000. But such is the
plight of Japan. At the close of the
year 1908 the national debt of Japan
amounted to S1.120. sos. 900. And this
is the way it grew:
The issuance Of the public loan
bonds in the fiscal year OF 1879,
amounting to about S9S. 100000. in
creased our indebtedness by one jump
from 1.9 yen per head to 60 yen.
The second great increase came with
the Chinese war. In 1897 We found
ourselves under the load of an indeb-
tedness of nearly $211,000 900. 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 19045. The first. second. ana
third issues. amounting to 100000
900, bore interest at per cent, and
the fourth and fifth issues, aggregat-
ing 100000 900, intesest at 6 per
cent. These last two issues were re-
deemed in 1906 with the proceeds of
the per cent sterling loan of f25,-
100000 which was placed in Lon
don, Paris, New York and Berlin.
This hundred and twenty-five million
dollar loan sold at 80 and is to run un-
til 1920.
These domestic loans We're. of
course, utterly inadequate to meet the
war expenditure. Therefore, the gov
ernment placed abroad the two per
cent loans amounting to f22,000. 900
sterling, pledging the customs duties
of the Empire as security. These
and redeemed. In March, 1905, the
government floated the first z per
cent loan of f3O,OOO,OO0. Half of this
amount, which sold at 80 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 Az
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 these
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. Paris and
Berlin, but the majority of our bonds
are undoubtedly held in these four fl
nanciaI centers.-From "Japan's FL
nancial Condition." by Adachi Kin
nosuke. in the American Review of

our western friends may see this fact
clearly, permit me to put Il in the fol-
lowing manner; Let the government
OF the United States so to Mr.. Smith
in Chicago, and Mr.. Brown in Wall
street and say to them, You are re-
ceiving 100000 a year income. and
we want you to give to the support of
the government in one form or an
other $4,000 a year of your income.
Let the German government or the
British 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 80 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 bad one. Though the taxes
at this time are of necessity very
heavy cit would seem that they are
distributed. The people of
the empire pay taxes in accordance
with their ability to do so. In the
United States the 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 REGRETTABLE STEP.

A labor demonstration held in Port
land Sunday was for a good purpose,
but It appears that through the pres
ence of ". D. Haywood, Of the West
ern Federation of Miners, the main
object of the meeting was forgotten
and resolution was passed that can
rot fail to injure the cause of labor
The main object of the Sunday
demonstration was to voice a protest
against the Imprisonment of Comp
ers, Mitchell and Morrison, who have
been given jail sentences for con-
tempt of court. Against the decree
of Judge White sentencing these men
to Jail the labor world has right to
protest. These men merely told the
truth about the Buck range company.
In view of the action of the federal
courts with reference to the Stand
ard Oil company's fine the sentence
ing of the labor leaders to Jail seems
particularly unjust.
But at the Portland labor meeting
the protest against Judge Wr!ghts
decree was overshadowed by the fol-
lowing resolution, which was passed
at the instance of Haywood.
eve, the citizens of Portland, in
mass meeting assembled, protest
against sending troops into peaceful
communities, and we likewise v!gor-
ously protest against the use of SOL
diers at any time when the labring
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
Dor disputes they are seldom brought
Then they are needed for the protec-
ton of labor as we'll 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, ct
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,
Meyer and Pettibone, has done vast
injury to the cause Of labor.
The action Of the Portland laboring
men in adopting Haywood's resolu-
ton is to be regretted.
