RAY YMOND TELLS BUSINESS MEN OF FLAWS
Trade Expert Interests Hun dreds With Exposition of
 Modern Methods.

Hundreds of merchants and clerks attended a meeting held last night in
 the State street Casino at which Frank
 Jewel Raymond of New York spoke
 The meeting was profita ble to the au-
 dience, as they obtained valuable hints from MT. Raymond concerning trade.
 MT. Raymond is the industrial man. lager of the National Retail Dry Goods association. He is a practical business man of unusual success, endowed with Aorator1caI ability coupled with a keen wit and aptitude for narrative. i How tQf size u9.'s man was told by MT. Raymond last night and what lhe said was equally advantageous for lthe merchants and the clerks. The .sapproach." he pointed out, is inpor ftant and careful appraisal of the subject is a. great advantage that may be obtained before negotiations are under way.
 Mir. Raymond went into business deeply last night. He exposed the lshans of the unethica1 dealer and he brought into light the faItering meth ods of the average struggling business maj n.agI3e pointed out the road to suc- cess and the audience looked upon him as a man who has trodden the path.
 The speaker touched on the tango. He declared it a diversion, not harm full, provided it is not overdone
 ATr. Raymond spoke of women in business. He declared the trouble with women in trade is that they do not quit worrying when the working day iss done.

The secretary of the New York Pris- on association tells of the answer a thief gave to the question. ''1s honesty the best pohcy?' It was in the E1mi- ra reformatory, where class was un- dergo1ng instruction A young man asked permission to answer the ques- tion- "I believe honesty is the best policy" said he, because of a case where knew it to work that way. See? There was two young fellows in New York, and they was crooked. See? And they didn't succeed They went to Philadelphia, and they turned over a new leaf and agreed to be square and honest They opened a clothing store. See? And they prospered. They got everybody's confidence, and they bor- rowed $100.oOO to enlarge their busi- ness. and then they failed and got away with every cent of the money, which they never could have done if they hadn't been honest.

lndusszaaE Courts.

As long ago as 1906 France created industrial c0n1Ss. and the example has been followed by Germany, Switzer- land, Italy and Belgium. A president who represents the public, and an equal number of workers and employ CTS sit as a jury rather than as a court. Lawyers are barred. The par ties to the dispute take turns relating grievance and defense, and in conse- quence of this simplicity 90 per cent of the cases are adjusted without formal hearings. In event of threat ened strikes or 1ockouts the courts have the power to sit as boards of ar bitration, and it Is only in rare cases that satisfactory agreements are not reached.
 Compare the simplicity of this pro- cedure with the American method of frequent trials, frequent appeals, re- versed decisions, remanded cases, court costs, lawyers fees and months of delay, gantlet that no poor man dares to run. The dollar out of which an alien is cheated may mean to him the difference between a bed or park bench, and certainly his sense of 1n- justice will not inspire him with re spect for democratic institutions George Creel in Century.

 nony today of Edward F. McC1ennen. of the Brandeis frms before the Sen ate committee, considering the nom ination of Louis D. Brandeis, for the supreme court. McClennen testified on cross-examination.

VERMONT VOTES FOR
 DIRECT PRIMARIES

Rutland, vt..E March 8-Vermont politicians were fullX-a alive today to the fact that the adoption of direct primary system in the vote at town meetings yesterday furnished them with matter for immediate action, where as the states emphatic reaf- hrnation of the local option system of liquor selling took the prohibition question out of politics for the time being. Men who have been quietly making known their willingness to go as delegates to the national party con- ventions at once began to make plans for active campaigns in preparations for the spring primaries at which these delegates will be chosen.
 The primary system was adopted by a majority of 3,578, the vote being: Yes. .24,726; no, 21,163.

CHURCHILL RAPS BALFOUR'S RULE
 OF BRITISH NAVY

London, March s-For the first time since he left the admiralty, Lord Fisher, former first sea lord, to- day attended a full meeting of the war council, presided over by Premier Asquith. T@ invitation to Lord Fisher to attend the council was ex- tended more than a week ago and had nothing to do with the speech in the House of Commons yesterday Of Colonel Winston Spencer Churchill, former first lord of the admiralty who said Lord Fisher should be brought back to head the admiralty.
 The return of Colonel Winston Churchill former first lord of the ad- miralty, from the front in order to criticise the management of the navy under his successor, A. J. Balfour, has been the political sensation of the year.
 Col. ChurchfIl's demand for the re- instatement- of Lord Fisher with whom he quarreled over the Darda- ne1les expedition when the latter was first sea lord, was a comp1et sur prise.
