4 VOTING MANS CHANGES.

You will find that in the banks, m inc great manufacturing interests, in all lines of important business, the big men are those who began as poor boys, in a small way, and with out influence rose to their present positions. It is just as true of the boy who, starting today, is eligible as their successor. "Pull' has not the slightest effect. Nor has the young man who gets to the office on- ly when he must and keeps his eye on the clock when the hour for leaving it draws near chance. The young man who goes into business today so in- terested in it that he will forget there is a clock and so enthusiastic about it that he will work whenever 1t is necessary need not worry about the future. No business is so big that such a man is lost in it.-A. c. Bed ford in Leslie's.

 Cross for Cantecn Service.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The wom- ans bureau of the American Red Cross has selected 100 women to take charge of the canteens and rest sta tions along the routes which will be travelled by American soldiers in go- ing to and from the trenches in Franco. These women were chosen, because of special qualifications, from many hundreds of applicants willing to serve without pay and willing to bear their own expenses throughout.
 Because of the nature of the work to te required of them, the woman's bureau selected only those women of robust health who can speak French, and who are willing to undertake the hardships and discomforts which will naturally arise.
 Only women between the ages of 50 and 50 were considered, and ap- plicants were required to show that they had worked for the American Red Cross or had been at work in oc- equations requiring high order of service and a capacity for self-sac- rifice.
 Miss Katherine P. E. Lansing and Miss Emma Sterling Lansing, sisters Of Secretary Lansing, living in Water town, N. Y., are among the women who have been selected for this can teen work. Others are:

New York Lawyer Declares Legislation Is Only
 Temporary.

Philadelphia, Sept. 15:-Legislatlon and proclamations intended to restrain the disposition toward exorbitant prl- ces can have only temporary and inn perfect result because they touch only superficially, if at all, the fundamen- tai cause of extortion, Peter Hamilton, vice president of the Lawyers Mort oage company of New York, said in an address here today. MT. Hamll- ton discussed "What Cooperation Can Do and Is Doing in Lowering Food Costs" at the National Academy of Political and Social Science.
 MT. Hamilton emphasized dis tinction between producers and con- sumers' cooperation, holding that the former has for it's underlying motive the making of excessive profit and the raising of prices. Consumers co-ope- ation, he said, is born of a pressing necessity to reduce costs.
 MT. Hamilton described the inau- guration of cooperation by the Koch dale Pioneers in 1S44 and its develop ments throughout the world, asserting that the co-operator will succeed in bringing down food prices where the legislator, the reformer, the socialist the syndicalist and others have failed
 Scarcity of supply, greatly lncreas- ed demand, one or both, are the legl- innate causes of high prices," the speaker said Monopoly, artificial scarcity induced by withholding sup plies from an eager market, cupidity employing one protext or another, art the immediate cause of extortion But back of monopoly, back of cupi
 dity and chicanery, is the selfish mo
 tive of private profit. It is for thi
 that men cheat each other and de
 scend to all the unfair practicte
 which have puzzled legislators an'
 reformers. This is the fundamenta
 cause of extortion and sharp practic
 between men and between nations i Indeed, if complete analysis be made
 it is the cause of war itself.

 like the old fashioned practitioner h frantically treating symptoms wit S strong measures and not effecting f cure. The socialists, on the othe n hand, are good diagnosticians. The. I know how to throw the patient int the fits. The syndicalists, known il n this country as the Industrial Work S CTS of the World, have like the Social l ists diagnosticated correctly, but thei
 remedy would be the knife, radica s surgical operation of what ever ris e to the patient.
