There is such a di
to Slflllt. e
vision of opinion
among- experts that the general public
is at a loss to decide tire merits of the
controversy. Within the last decade
the vertical system has been most gen
erally adopted in the public schools,
but with its growth in popularity there
has been a great increase in opposition
to the system. It is said that speed
cannot be attained by the use of the
round, upright letters, and that it is
impossible to attain a smooth move
ment of the hand, -since the system
compels a labored effort. The chief aim
t.n handwriting should be the attain
ment of legibility. It matters little
whether the Spencerian system or its
opposite be adopted if the results are
satisfactory. For a time, about a quar
ter of a century ago, The angular style
of chirograph)' became fashionable,
and its results were so astonishing
that it was quickly abandoned. The
women who learned in the '7os to make
hieroglyphics half an inch in size and
indistinguishable from one another are
still puzzling thvir correspondents. So
far, a practical trial of the vertical
method has been encouraging, al
though there is danger of confusion in
the matter of o and a, u and n. The
style of writing in vogue among tele
graph operators proves that the slant
is not necessary to speed. Since the
introduction of the typewriter, accord
ing to the Milwaukee Sentinel, there is
no excuse for careless handwriting.
The machine relieves business men of
the necessity of overwork with the pen,
and, except for a signature, they have
little occasion to write. It has been
proved that the system matters little
if care is taken to prevent students
from carelessness or eccentricity in
writing. A certain individuality should
be cultivated, but it should be distinct
iveness that comes from precision and
neatness.
There is a new wonder every day. In
the Bible the miracles number less
than a hundred. The modern miracles
run into the thousands overnight—the
miracles of science, invention, com
merce and enterprise. In the new part
of the old world .greater records are
mounting on big achievements. In the
old part of the old world modernity
is playing grotesque tricks with his
tory and making contracts that pro
voke even the serious to merriment.
Fancy, for instance, sdys the Phila
delphia Times, Diogenes sitting in his
tub watching a trolley car go by and
looking for an honest man only to hear
the conductor ring- up a drachma fare
on a mechanical contrivance to protect
him from temptation.
A chrysanthemum show to be held
in Convention hall, Kansas City, this
month will take the form of a Japanese
garden occupying the great oval arena.
It will include a tower 100 feet high,
decorated with flowers and colored
electric lights. At eiieh end will be a
flower pagoda. Two teahouses w ill of
fer light refreshments, with attend
ants in Japanese costumes. A hedge
four feet high will run around the en
tire garden. Society people will occu
py the boxes and keep "open house"in
serving tea to guests.
Speaking of the craze for souvenirs
of royalty, they say that after the
duchess of York had visited one of the
schools in Toronto and had graciously
written her mime on the school regis
ter the teacher passed around the ink
bottle in order that each pupil might
dip a finger in Die ink into which a
princess had dipped a pen. How touch

President lioosevelt went to New
York to vote. It is a significant spec
tacle. and it is doubtful whether we
fully appreciate just how significant it
is. Our president casts but one vote,
and the humblest or the fiercest an
archist in the land has the sume voice
in declaring who shall be our rulers as
our "despotic ruler."
Failure to provide a suitable dwell

STRAIGHTFORWARD TALK.
••nutble View *1 a Southern
Heitartliiiii the Booker Wash
ington Incident.
The Atlanta Constitution publishes
a communication, from \V. A. Candler,
which makes some points that the
southern people would do well to
think about in connection with the
subject of "social equality" that is
just now worrying them a good deal.
The Journal does not know anything
about Mr. Candler beyond the inter
nal evidence his letter affords that he
is a, southern man of progressive
views and possessed of more "horse
sense." than nonsense. He may possi
bly be a relative of Gov. Candler, of
Georgia, though he is evidently not a
republican. He makes the recent
Hooker T. Washington incident the
text for some remarks regarding the
race question which do not seem to
have occurred to those who think it
is only skin deep. He admits that
personally he thinks that in inviting
Mr. Booker Washington to dine with
him President Roosevelt "blundered
badly," but he ridicules tiie idea that
tiny number of such acts could bring
about social equality. But he re
marks there is real danger, if south
ern whites do not rouse themselves,
that the negro will achieve another
kind of equality, or rather of superi
ority .over the whites, namely, edu
cational. He says the negroes have
better educational advantages in.the
south than the whites have and that
the latter are relatively losing ground
rather than gaining. To quote his
words:
"The colleges for negroes are far-better
equipped than the colleges for whites, and
their superiority in this particular rapidly
Increases every day. Hooker Washington
can get more money for his school by an
hour's speech in Boston or New York than
any president of a white college in the
south can get by a year's campaign among
our own people. Now let this sort of thing
goon for another 25 years, and the most
undesirable conditions will inevitably arise
In the south, bringing to pass results In
jurious to both races. * * « While I be
grudge the negro nothing, I cannot believe
It would be best for him or best for anybody
else, that he should continue to have better
educational advantages than the whites.
But this will be the case if our own people
do not deal more liberally with the col
leges of the whites. The north will do in
the future, as in the past, most of what it
does for higher education In the south on
behalf of the negroes. Southernwhite peo
ple must depend upon themselves to main
tain and equip the colleges of the whites
in this section. And we are abundantly
able to do it. Our 'horse shows' and the
like prove the plethora of our purses."
Coming to facts, he mentions two
colleges in. Georgia for the education
of whites which are now appealing
for support. Mr. John I). Eockefel
ler has offered to give $15,000 to Mer
cer university if the friends of the in
stitution will raise $15,000 more, and
a southern man has offered $15,000 to
Emory college on the same condi
tions. The writer says these two in
stitutions ought to be as dear to the
hearts of all Georgians as Booker
Washington's school is to Bostonian-s
and New Yorkers, and they should
imitate the example of northern peo
ple by putting their hands in their
pockets and contributing to the sup
port of their own institutions. He
concludes:
"I propose that any Georgian who Is too
stingy to give to either of them quit abus
ing the president about dining Booker
Washington. Men who really care to
maintain proper relations between the
races in the south will do something more
substantial to promote that object than to
blow hot blasts of Indignation about social
equality. That sort of wlndlness is cheap;
It is also very unprofitable. Let us help
our colleges for whites—or hush."
A northern man would hardly ven
ture to put the matter in as person
al a way as this. The argument is
clear that educational progress in
volves to a certain extent social ad
vancement and elevation, and that if
the southern whites wish to maintain
their traditional superiority they
must adopt a more liberal and pro
gressive poUcy in support of educa
tion. The whites cannot keep the ne
groes down by "hot blasts of indig
nation," if they allow them to main
tain permanent superiority in educa
tional advantages. Mr. Candler's let
ter goes to the heart of the subject.—

TRULY MEASURED.
Prosperity and Plenty Give tkr
vie Reason for Heine Genuine
ly TbanUful.
In his first Thanksgiving procla
mation President lioosevelt has forc
ibly emphasized the peculiar bene
fits for which the people should be
grateful.
Though a respected president fell a
victim to crime the nation has shown
the unanimity of horror over the as
sassin's deed and in the general con
demnation of the anarchistic cult is
found a cause for thankfulness. The
country is united in opposition to
anarchy and all forms of lawlessness.
There is little need to recall the
great material prosperity of all sec
tions. The year 1901 promises to be
the best in the history of the nation
in nearly every line of effort. The
banks have full vaults, money is cir
culating, manufacturers are busy fill
ing orders for months ahead, farm
ers are receiving high prices for their
products and the railroads are load
ed with traffic.
During the past year the lines have
been drawn closer in. public morality.
In no city where elections have been
held has there been an evasion of
the great moral and. economic f|ues
tions that inevitably force them
selves upon a wide-awake and con
scientious people. The ideals of the
people are higher than they were a
year ago.
There is fitness in those words of
the president in his Thanksgiving
proclamation. "We have prospered in
things material and have been abla
to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let
us remember that, as much has been
given ua much will be expected from
us, and that true homage comes from
the heart as well as from the lips and
shows itself in deeds. We can best
prove our thankfulness to the Al
mighty by the way in which, on this
earth and at this time, each of us
does his duty to his fellowman."
The sermons ar.d prayers and songs
of the last Thursday of November
will not reveal all the depths of our
thankfulness. Each day's work is the
measure of gratitude for past bles
sings. Is there a better day in which
to show the nation's devotion to
ideals than by following the advice of
the president in his proclamation?
The devotion which each person
shows in thus expressing his full
heart will be good for the individual,
the nation and the world.—St. Louis
Republic (Dem.).
SENATOR HANNA'S^CRITICS.
Democratic New*paper* and Orator*
It expo n*i like for Conditions That
Precipitate Murder.
Some of the democratic newspa
pers are becoming hysterical because
Senator Hanna, in liisi speech atSpring
field, held some of the democrats, and
the democratic yellow press in par
ticular, responsible for the assassina
tion of the president.
The senator disclaimed all intention
to make a political issue of theassas*-
sination, but he said he desired to
place the blame where it belonged.
Senator Hanna is not alone in his be
lief that the democratic newspapers
and orators had much to do with cre
ating a sentiment against the late
president under the influence of which
the weak mind of an anarchist like
Czclgosz could be turned in a murder
-1 ous' direction.
Congressman Burton, in Cleveland,
charged that the yellow democratic
press was responsible for the assas
sination. Gen. Horatio King said the
same thing in the speech he delivered
here during grand army week, when
it was believed the president would re
cover. Rev. Dr. Morgan Wood ex
pressed the same sentiments, in a
speech at the same time, and he went
further by referring in particular to a
cartoon which l ad been published by
Tom Johnson's crgan in the campaign
of 1000, in which President McKinley
was pictured as an emperor on a
throne, r.ith Senator Hanna as the
power behind the throne.
Of cour.-e nei'.l.er Senator Hanna nor
anybody else desires to hold the demo
cratic party responsible for the assas
sination, but that certain democrats
and certain democratic newspapers
are responsible for the condition of af
fairs which made the assassination
posisiblecannot be doubted or disputed.
The less democratic papers say in
criticism of what Senator Hanna said
at Springfield the better it will be for
them.— Cleveland Lead er.
ICThe defeat of the Bryan fusion
populistic and democratic ticket in
Nebraska eliminates Mr. I>*yan from
all consideration of democrats in the
future as to their platform and na
tional candidates. As his last hold on
the national democracy he announced
his intention to "redeem" Nebraska
from the republicans, who carried it
against him in 1900. Nebraska waS
not "redeemed;" it gave a greater re
publican majority than it gave a year
ago. There are no unkind feelings to
ward Mr. Bryan; his future is before
hi in, not behind him, as is the case with
many defeated leaders. He may fill a
career of political usefulness which
never would have been possible in a
national administration and policy
founded on the unsafe, impracticable
basis of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms.—Chicago Chronicle (Dem.)
Tillman, who is traveling
the country, declared in Kansas City
last week that "President Roo><'velt, in
inviting a nigger to dine with him, had
butted his head against a stone wall
that would put new life into the demo
cratic party." As Thomas Jefferson
extended a similar hospitality to a
colored man, it may be assumed that
the Tillman brand of democracy dif
fers from the Jefferson in some essen
tial features.—lndianapolis Journal.
A RAILWAY TEUST.
To Control Northern Pacific and
Groat Northern Roads.
A Compnny Capitalized a t S 100,000.000
la Incorporated In Netv ierwf
and Will Aid In Carrying Out
llio "Community of IntereMt"
Ideas nl the .Tlugnutea.
New York, Nov. 14.—There were
two important developments yester
day in the railroad situation in the
northwest, and both tended to <*on
firin the existing belief that a final
basis of settlement of the contest for
control of Northern Pacific had been
definitely agreed to. Final ratifica
tion of this agreement will bring into
existence the greatest and most ef
fective example of the community of
interest idea as applied to the rail
road systems of the country.
The first development was the in
corporation at Trenton, N. J., of the
Northern Securities ( o. with a capital
stock of $400,000,000 and the second
was the unanimous adoption by the
N irthern Pacific directors of a reso
lution providing ior I lie retirement
at par of the company's preferred
stock on January J, 1902.
There was a full attendance at the
meeting at which this action was
taken, those present, including George
F. Baker and Charles Steele, repre
senting J. P. Morgan & Co.; E. If.
Harrhnan, of the llarriman syndi
cate which is in control of the Union
Pacific; .Tames J. Ilill. president of
•he (ireat Northern; Samuel Ilea, vice
president of the Pennsylvania; James
Stillman, of the National City bank;
If. McK. Twombley, for the Vander
bilts, and William 'Rockefeller.
The directors decided that the
funds necessary for the retirement
of the preferred stock should be ob
tained bv the salt' at not less than
par of $75,000,000 of 4 per cent, bonds
convertible into common stock, each
holder of common stock now out
standing being entitled to purchase
at par an amount equal to seventy
five eightieths of his present
holdings. It was further provid
ed that two dividends of 1 per cent,
each be paid on the preferred stock
before its retirement.
No official statement was obtain
able as to the scope of the newly in
corporated Northern Securities Co.,
but it was generally understood that
the company was formed to take over
and control the shares of the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
railways and of their leased lines. The
Great, Northern's outstanding capital
is $125,000,000 par value, selling at 200
in the market, while the Northern Pa
cific's total outstanding stock after
the retirement of the preferred, will
be $80,000,000 par value, making a
total of $205,000,000, par value, for the
shares of these two companies. At
200 for Great Northern, the amount
will be increased to $3:10,000,000 for
the shares of the two companies.
Burlington shares, it i«3 understood,
are not to be turned over to the new
Northern Securities Co. That stock
is now held as collateral for the out
standing Burlington collateral bonds,
■with voting rights vested in the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern railways. It is understood that
the Union Pacific and Chicago &
Northwestern interests agreed to the
retirement of Northern Pacific pre
ferred, and that the Union Pacific
will have a heavy interest in the cap
ital of the new company, entirely be
yond the par value of their present
Northern Pacific shareholdings, which
are placed at $75,000,000 par value,
just over a majority of the total $155,-
000.000 Northern Pacific stock capital.
No information was obtainable as to
what share, if any. the Vanderbilts
anil the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul are to have in the new company.
IDENTIFIED AS A BANDIT.
Harry
Keen ICiitfuged 111 it Train Holdup.
St. Louis, Nov. 14. —The federal
grand jury yesterday returned in
dictments against Harry Longbaugh,
alias "John Arnold," the mysterious
Montana train robber and his com
panion, Laura Bullion. Each was in
dicted on 17 separate counts.
Charles 11. Smith and William
O'Neill, express messenger and fire
man respectively of the Great North
ern flyer that was held up last July
near Wagner, Mont., arrived here
Wednesday and identified the suspect
under arrest as llarry Longbaugh,
the man who held tip the train and
took the lead in intimidating the
train crew and blowing open the ex
press company's safe, from which
nearly SIOO,OOO in unsigned bills of
the National Bank of Helena were
stolen.
O'Neill says that Longbaugh is the
man who climbed ewer the tender and
held up Engineer Jones and himself,
and then superintended the blowing
up of the safe. His recollection of
the episode was so vivid that he could
describe the two revolvers that the
robber used. The police say they are
the same weapons that were found
on the prisoner when he was arrested.
Chief Desmond says he thinks that
the suspect's real name is Ben Kil
patrick. A "Tail Texan," answering
the suspect's description, was impli
cated in several train and bank rob
beries in the west, and he was known
as Ivilpatrick.
Since this last evidence has turned
up it may be deemed best to take
hun to Montana for trial, where the
offense of train robbing is punishable
by death.
