Speaker DWelt on Relative I'M
pOrtanCe Of Merchant in Pre-
sent Organization of Society.

In the beginning of civilization.
merchand. sing gave birth to moral
consciousness, the standards used by
our merchants now determine the de-
gree TO which We are Americans and
Christians; and our return to what
has been termed normalcy will be de-
cided when selling is restored, were
three keynote declarations by DR.. w.
j. Hindley in u speech before the
membership of the Pcndleton Com
mercial Association at the Eiks lodge
room last night.
DR.. Hindley, eX-mayor of Spokane.
and at present director of education of
the Washington State Retailers asso-
citation. dwelt on the relative position
and importance of the merchant in the
present organization of society, and
he presented facts and figures which
have been discovered by the mer-
chants organization in Washington
showing that the man who is the chief
figure in the process of distribution
has not been given the credit due him.
Ranks With Producers
81 am sick of that attitude which
became popular after the war of re-
ferring to the merchant, or distrbu-
tor, as a middleman and as a super
numerary force III our life. This is
not true. The merchant is repre-
sentative Of producers, and the clerk
behind the counter who fails at h
task of disposing of goods thereby
places in jeopardy the workingman
who manufactures an article and also
the other producer who grows the
materials out of which this article is
made. The selling of goods is just as
important as growing or making
goods. I'VE may expect normalcy to
be restored when selling returns to its

Japan WANTS WIDE RANGE
OF Discussion at the Washington Con-
ference on Armaments.

Toxic, Sept 10 by the Associated
Press Japan should insist in discuss
ing at the Washington conference late
this autumn not only questions regard
ing the far east but also matters al
fecting the American coast, including
Mexico. and also California, Niscount
Ishida, president of Kensei Kai, or OPP
position party, said in a statement is
sued here.
The withdrawal of Notifications
from all islands in the Pacific, the neu-
tralization of the Panama canal, the
removal of limitations on coastwise
trade throughout the world and the
settlement of racial discrimination on
the principle OF the co-existence of
mankind and the spirit of justice and
humanity should be included in ia
pans proposals at the conference. This
body was organized to educate the pub
lie concerning the conference.
Seven professors are leaders OF the
association and before the war with
Russia the same men formed a similar
organization for furthering the spirit
of patriotism. On that occasion they
were assisted by many of the leading
publicists of Japan. In addition TO the
above demands, the association believe
self defense ornaments should be re-
duced to the minimum. The organiza-
ton also urges that the sovereignty
and integrity of China should be re-
spected and that all her customs re
ceipts should be restored. II holds that
the right of Siberian people to govern
themselves should be recognized, and
that the open door" should be inaug
urated in ali countries touching the
Pacific.
The army and navy advisory dele
gates going to the Washington confer
ence will sail on the steamship Korea
Maru on Oct. /, The Jiji Shimpo says
that if the japanese military author
tiles insist that this country must
maintain an army of 81 divisions. they
must be prepared to give a satisfactory
answer TO the powers represented at
Washington when questioned as to the
reasons for such a large army.
