THE RIOTS IN JAPAN.

While the riot situation in Japan
may not be so serious as to menace
the ratification of the peace treaty,
it has already assumed proportions
which must make the thinking Jap
anese blush for their country. The
world has been taught to believe tina,
the strong point of the Japanese
people was poise and self-control I'M
der all circumstances. The Japa-
nese nave given so many admirable
instances of the truth of this assertion
that to see them go to pieces as they
have under the disappointment of the
peace terms makes their friends
throughout the world discouraged.
They are acting just like Russians.
The attacks upon members Of the
government and the assault upon an
American citizen travelling in the
country betray dissatisfaction with
the peace itself and with the part
America had in bringing it about.
There is only point upon which the
Japanese can nave any grievance
against the treaty, and that is on the
failure of the Japanese ENJOYS to Sc
cure an indemnity. Everything else
that Japan began the war for she mas
received. Her government very prop
erly took the ground that ia would
not prolong the war nor shed more
rivers Of blood merely to collect a bill
of expenses. The mob in Toxic takes
just the opposite ground. 1t is howl
ing for the money there is in war, re-
CARELESS of the slaughter of men, the
orphaning of children and the Grip
ping of the flower of the male popula-
ton of the empire. Such an attitude
in the face of an honorable peace is
disgraceful. The amazing thing is that
the Japanese people, even the lower
classes, do not see it.
NO one expects tnat the rlOtlnS
over the conclusion Of the war will
make any difference with the result,
but it has already made a difference
in the estimate put upon the Japanese
civilization by the world. Japan has
stepped down from her high place

soon run the population above the
hundred million mark. When we shall
have reached this total, the look back
upon the handful of people with
which the country began less than
one hundred and twenty-five years
ago. will seem the more striking. But
we will as yet scarcely have begun
to grow. if we are to assume that
some time in the distant future our
population will in any degree ap-
proach the density Of Europe.
A writer in Cent per Cent for Sep
TENDER has figured out what this
would mean. Should the United States
ultimately reach the density now ex-
listing in the United Kingdom, there
would be a population here of 1,244,-
170,496 Canada, with ner 100000
people, should one day have 1,2SS,477,-
456 on this same basis.
We need not search for errors in
the calculation. 1t is an arbitrary
method, to figure land area as capable
of supporting any stated number OF
people, without allowing for differences
of soil and climate and numerous other
things. and it may be that the cal
culation could not stand crucial anal
ysis. Substantially, however, it will
stand, and the figures are wonderful
ly interesting for the long train of
suggestion that follows them.
What mind can measure the COM
merce of the country a hundred years
from now; what intellect try for an
approximation of the grand totals of
finance? Who can say how our gov
eminent shall shape itself to meet the
great questions that will be born with
increasing growth and power?
One thing is sure, We are as yet
only in our infancy. Right here in
Washington there is room for thou
sands upon thousands of people. A
mighty growth that will give us busi-
ness institutions of magnitude not
heretofore imagined is before the
country, and the Pacific northwest is
ready for it's share of it.

names of five members of the state

GOODS.
No Less. Than 5000 Blankets, Indian
Robes, Etc, to be Sold at Popu-

An important announcement is
made by the Schwabacher company in
this issue of the Evening Statesman.
The announcement has to do with
their big annual special sale of Pen
dleton Indian Robes, Blankets, Etc.
If anything, the Company's sale
this year will eclipse any previous eff
forts in this direction, for never was
the firm carrying such a complete line
of the famous Pendleton Blankets,
Indian Robes, Steamer Rugs, Fancy
Covers, Etc.
At this years sale some 5000 Grade
A. Blankets are to be offered the pub
lie at surprisingly low prices. Stand
ard Pendleton Blankets, the very
latest patterns, are to be sold at $4.25
each.
The management of the Scnwabacner
company desire to inform the public
regarding one special feature of their
present big sale of blankets and that is
the blankets that are to be offered
during the sale are all of the very
highest quality and include the newest
and latest patterns of the Pendleton
Mills. 1t is a line of blankets that
does not represent any out date
designs, slightly damaged or odd
lots. On the other hand they are
choice stock of blankets, Indian
robes, ETC., that were bought in the
regular way with the greatest care,
the houses buyer inspecting each and
every one of them before making
purchase of the same.
AS the Schwabacher Company's rep

this years special sale of these goods
will be one of the most successful
