A Business Genius
The business world owes much to John Wanamaker who
passed away today at the ripe age of 84. He it was who lift
ed merchandising into profession, introducing the one price
system and created and popularized the department store.
He also was the pioneer in welfare work among employees.
Before Wanamaker's day, storekeepers and their clerks
bargained and haggled with the customers, resulting in an
elastic scale of prices and great waste of time. Stocks were
mpRo-re and nrof its lanre. "Wanamaker visioned sales volume
and small profits and effected economies in operation then
undreamed of-
Wanamaker was the first large merchant to use the daily
newspaper as an advertising medium and always wrote an
editorial on store news himself which featured his display.
Tr. mio-ht be said that he discovered the value of printers ink
tn the merchant, for before his day most of the advertising
consisted in stereotyped announcements and business cards
with patent medicines the largest users of display, loday
the large store cannot exist without newspaper advertising
and the bulk of the newspaper business consists of store ad
vertising. Wanamaker was also the first merchant to manufacture
a portion of the merchandise he sold, finding that he could
make certain lines cheaper than he could buy. He also was
the first to contract for the entire output of factories thus
securing merchandise at lowest possible prices, being enabled
thprehv to undersell comDetitors.
Wanamaker revolutionized merchandising and lived to
see his methods universally adopted. He won the hearty ap
nreciation of the public and he lived to reap a reward in
wealth and position attained by few. With it all he was a
fine citizen and led in movements for the common good. He
creditably played his part and it was always a leading part
. in the life of communitv and nation.
Wanamaker coverned his life bv many maxims. "Every
undertaking," he once said, "is made up of the sum of past
pndeavors. plus ambition and the new visions. He tnus sum
marized his own life: "Thinking, trying, toiling and trusting
i o'l of my biography." '
Then and Now
Exoellinir the Greeks in Asia Minor means expelling the
Christians, for the word is used to designate a member of
the Greek orthodox church, and not necessarily a Greek
national. The Turk is therefore em&sed in his old diversion
of massacreing Christians while the Christian world looks
on indifferently and calls them Greeks.
The Turks are enabled to do this because of French aid
and assistance rendered as the result of a secret treaty ne
gotiated bv Franklin Bouillon, her special envoy, with Kemal
Pasha, of the Angora government. Through this treaty the
Turk was supplied with munitions and given diplomatic help.
When the Greek army had been anninhilated, Bouillon was
sent to burning Smyrna to convey the pleasure of France over
the triumph of Turkey.
This attitude of France is in marked contrast to the ex
pressions of France during the war and the two years follow
ing. Now the French make possible the massacre of
the Armenians, then the French pledged aid to prevent it.
Clemenceau stated to the Armenian Union Nov. 1, 1918 that
The Armenian populations may rent assured that the Government
of the Republic -will be glad to continue to give Its full support In
order to prevent the renewal of the massacres of which they have been
the victims and to permit them to be liberated from the Ottoman
yoke."
The reply of the Allies to Turkish objections to the peace
treaty delivered to the Turkish delegates at Versailles, July
17, 1920, which was signed by Millerand for France reads:
"The.AUles are clear that the time has come when It is necessary
to put an end once and for all to the Empire of the Turks over other
natlone. The history of the relations between the Porte and the great
Powers for a long period before the war was one long story of repeated
unavailing attempts to put an end to the atrocities In Bulgarian
Macedonia, Armenia and elsewhere atrocities which startled and
allocked the conscience of mankind.
"During the past twenty years the Armenians have been massacred
under conditions of unexampled barbarity and during the war the
record of the Turkish Government in massacres, In deportations and
in mal-treatment of prisoners of war Immeasurably exceeded even its
own record. It Is estimated that since 1914 the TurKish Government
has massacred on the mendatious pretext of alleged revolt, 800,000
Armenians, including women and children, has expelled or deported
more than 200.000 Greeks and 200,000 Armenians from their homes.
Not only has the Turkish Government failed to protect its subjects or
other races from pillage, outrage, and murder, but there Is abundant
evidence that it baa been responsible for directing and organizing
savagery against people to whom it owed protection.
"Though it ie doubtful if the Turks constitute a majority of Us
people, the treaty even leaves Constantinople as the capital of Turkey.
In view of the misuse made by the Turks of their power in the past
the Allies have had great doubts as to the wisdom of mis step.
The change in French views shows that the imperialists
are in control and willing that the Turk should .again rule
provided French concessions in Syria are protected and the
menace of Greecian imperialism crushed. For this price
France consents to the massacre and deportation of Christian
populations by the unspeakable Turk. '

A SalUng Mystery
-"This Miss Courteney is a great
friend of Mr. Starmount's, isn't
she!" continued the chief turning
to Parker.
"Everyone in the city knows that
is true, chief. Starmount's affair
with Miss Courteney has been one
of the bits of gossip on everyone's
tongue. "
"All right, Oarrety, on your way.
If the Courteney woman won't talk
bring her here."
Mulcahy and Parker left with the
detective. Parker wanted to get
away and think. He did not dare
call up Starmount or Nalda fearing
it would be found out.
As soon as they had left the de
tective and caught a taxi, Pat turn
ed to the lawyer and demanded:
"Why did you tell the chief that
Nalda Courteney owns that cigaret
case?"
"Because he would have found it
out anyway and by telling him 1
impressed him with my truthful
ness. As a lawyer, Mulchay, I have
found that it is best always to tell
the truth when you are questioned
by an attorney or a policeman. Of
course it la not always expedient to
toll all of the truth, but certainly
do not lie in a case like this or you
will get into a mess."
''What do you suppose they will
find out from Nalda Courteney!"
"I haven't the slightest idea what
she will say. It will depend upon
whether she thirffs that she stil'
has a sentimental hold upon fatar-
mount or if she thinks that it if
over, title 11 tell wnatever story sne
thlnkB will get money from him.
'I think we had better go over
to Tennant s rooms and see what
they know about him there."
At Dick Tennant g apartment an
other surprise awaited them. They
found everything in the hands of a
caretaker, who said Tennant had
gone away for an indefinite stay.
He had left the apartment the day
before and was sailing on the Ura
guay this morning. He had told
the caretaker that he was going on
the boat late the night before after
a party at a friend's house during
the day.
"So that's" that." Mulcahy 's tone
was discouraged. He seemed to
have run up against a stone wall.
"If you were a lawyer, Pat in
stead of a policeman, you would
know that it is foolish to give, up
until after the jury has filed in and
given the verdict, the judge 'ha
arisen and put on his black cap-
even then there is a chance to file
objections and ask for a new trial."
"But what are you going to dn
tiextf"
''Well, I think I am going back
to the house at the shore and see
if Sather has communicated with Mr
Starmount and if not I am going
down to the dock and see if any
one by the name of Tennant sailed
this morning.
"Why not go to the dock first f
"I do not want anyone to think
we care whether Tennant has gone
to South America or anywhere else
unless it is absolutely necessarv for
them to know. Eoside it is after 1
o'clock and I am hungry and I ex
pect you are too."
Arriving at the house they were
told that Starmount was out on
the beach.
Both men walked down to the
shore, which lay at the bottom of
the Burden directly back of the
bomse.
"Look,. Mulcahv! " exclaimed
Parker. "
Out on the raft were Mary and
Starmount, their feet dangling over
The sides, while inshore was Eddie
burying his poor maimed feet in the
wet sand, and looking perfectly
happy.
. "How do you suppose she got out
there f" asked Mulcahv. "I'm sure
she can't swim." , ,
'I bet she swam a little. She
has unbounded faith in Starmount.
"I'll av she has. LookH!" ex
claimed Pat,
Starmount had dived into the wa
ter and was inviting Mara; to slide
off, evidently saying that he would
catch her.
Mary did not hesitate. She drop
ped off the raft and Starmount
caught her before she sank. Then
began a swimming loson in sight
of the two men. It was a lesson
where fear was absent from Mary's
ind as long as 'my lord' was with
her.
Eddie saw them coming in, and
wadad out to meet them. A break
er knocker him over.
With much laughter and noise he
was rescued and Starmount came up
on the beach with Eddie riding on
his shoulders and Mary clinging to
his hands.
'Hello, Ted! Get off your clothes
and come and help me teach these
voungsters to swim. Can you swim,
Mulcahy! One of your duties will
be to look after these water-babies
when I am not about."
Obviously Starmount had forgot
ten all aDout the disagreeable hap
penings of the day before; His
face was alight with the pleasure of
a boy. . ;
Seeing the ominous faces of the
men He immediately oecame ser
ious. "What has gone wrong!" he
demanded.

RRIGATION OF
SANTiAM LANDS
CONTEMPLATED
About 40 Santiain valley land
owners representing approximate
ly 4000 acres met at Aumsvllle
yesterday afternoon to discuss the
formation of an irrigation district
under the state laws. Joseph Mc
Allister, from the state engineer's
office, and Mr. McDonald, repre
senting the Willamette Valley Ir
rigated Land company, met with
the farmers in an effort to asslBl
them.
In order that no time be lost be
fore the feasibility of such a plan
be determined, a permanent work
ing organization was formed with
Clarence Browne as president and
J. H. McKinney as secretary. T. E.
Thomas, A. E. Bradley, J. N. Dun
can, Harry Colgin and J. W. Mc
Kinney were appointed to make
an exhaustive report of the water
rights and ditches of the old Wil
lamette Valley Irrigated Land
company, .and draw up a plan tor
operation 'to be presented at the
next meeting to be called at the
discretion of the president. They
will also ascertain the coat of the
water, estimate the operating
mats th nrobable acreage, the
sufficiency of " the water rights,
onil all other ' noints which are
necessary to know.
, When the reports of the com
mittee are received it will be de
termlned if the organization shal

forming an official bonding dis
trict. It has been estimated thai
between 12,000 and 15,000 acres.
would be irrigated should tht
proposition be carried out.
The problem facing the organ
ization Is the adjusting of tut
litr and dinah rights of the
Willamette Valley Irrigation com
Dany which are still in litigation
The company has approximately
1100 acres of deed land up the
valley not far from Aumsvllle
With adjustment accomplished
before the opening of spring' it
would be possible to deliver water
to most of the farms for next sum
mer. At present not all of the
monev are needed In large quanti
ties and the addresses of families
In dire- circumstances also must
be had. Fred Erlxon, chairman of
the Elks' welfare committee, an
nounced thla afternoon that pacK-
ages should ba taken to the front
door of the Elks' building, on
North Liberty street, where they
will be received by the steward.
We want to make" this a regu
lar Christmas for all youngsters in
the vicinity," Mr. Erlxon said.
'Ifa rather difficult for a grown
man or woman to understand 'just
what it means to a tot to be tor-
gotten by Santa Claua. If we can
just get a little assistance from
each person in Salem who Is will

tions will cooperate at all times.
The main Idea, he explained, is to

otherwise, be forgotten.

have a slope of about 20 feet to tht
