STATIONERS' CHIEF
Let Them "Rescue Country
From the Arena of Poli

. Message to Convention.
"Send business men to Congress" wns
the keynote of National President George
M. Courts' address at the opening of the
convention of the National Association
of Stationers and Manufacturers In the
Bellovue-Strntford today.
"Until business men, who have made
this country what It Is," snld Mr. Courts,
"rescue It from the arena of politics, we
shall continue to be rogulnted by laws
which are fathered by demagogues, con
ceived In Ignorance and born In tho throes
of political expediency. It is to be hoped
that business men will not long continue
to shirk their plain responsibility for an
admitted evil.
"The only views which Congress did
not deem worthy of consideration were
those of the people most effected, the busi
ness men."
Rounds of applause greated President
Courts' speech, which followed the ad
dresses of welcome by Mayor Blanken
burg and Director of Supplies Loeb.
Following his address Mr. Courts was
presented with a handsome gavel made
from wood from the old United States
Mint
This morning's session was the first of
the regular business meetings of the con
vention, and the entire session waa de
voted to the consideration of tho reports
of the various committees.
A centre for an admiring and an en
thusiastic group at all times Is the pic
turesque figure of George A, Olney, of
New York, and "Uncle George" as he Is
known to everybody, "Uncle George," up
until the time of his retirement last year,
had been for 0 years associated with tha
stationery business In one form or an
other, but chiefly aa a salesman.
As a result of his long years of serv
ice and extensive traveling he Is known
from one end of the country to the other,
from the centres of the trade In the large
cities to the outlying districts where sta
tionery business as a business in Itself Is
making Its first way.
In consequence wherever and when
ever stationers gather together there, too,
Is "Uncle Ooorge" cordial, happy and en
thusiastic, modestly accepting the homage
thrust upon him by his former associates
as due the dean of his profession.
The convention Is unique for the num
ber of women who, either In the In
terest of their own livelihood or as
wlveo and daughters of the delegates,
are In attendance.
Another special feature arranged pri
marily for them Is a trip scheduled for
Thursday morning through the Curtis
Publishing Company's plant at 6th and
Walnut streets. Last year, when, at the
convention In Springfield, It was an
nounced that Philadelphia was to be the
next convention city tho women In at

given them to see the home ot the La

PITTSBtrrtGH, Oct. 13. Questions nf
vital Interest to the home, the State, the
nation and to women In particular were
discussed today at the nineteenth annual
meeting of the State Federation of Penn
sylvania Women, which opened In the
Soldiers and Sailors' Memorial Hall. Tho
events of yestcrdny were merely Inci
dental to the formal opening of the
business sessions this morning.
Mrs. Samuel Sempte, of Tttusvllle,
Slate, president, wns In the chair when
the meeting was called to order. Mrs.
Robert D. Coard, vice president of the
southwestern district of tho Stnto Fed
eration, dolivered an address of welcome,
aa did Assistant City Solicitor H. M.
Irons for the city. The response waa by
Mrs. Scmple on behalf of the State Fed
eration. Mrs. Semple In her response said there
were two classes of people, those who
lift and those who lean. The spirit of
Pittsburgh was "not to knock, but to
boost," and Pittsburgh's aim was to lift
and not to lean. She thanked the various
organizations for their co-operation. At
the conclusion of her address she asked
the women to remove their hats nnd all
the fancy fall millinery was removed.
Mrs. G. W. Coblentz, of Clarion, record
ing secretary, read tho minutes of the
last meeting.
Dr. S. B. McCormlck, chancellor of the
University of Pittsburgh, In nn address
to the federation, said:
"The form of service of clubwomen to
day Includes the domestic life of tho com
mifnlty and the cultural life. Any as
sumption that women's participation In
the affairs of tho world will Injure tho
home Is n false assumption, and It Is
the business of women to remedy any
belief of that kind. The home Is tho
economic Institution, and It Is Important
for the women to make the homo an
economic fnctor. If social conditions are
to be made what they should be, men
and women must co-operate In remedying
the condition.
"When women learn that men are as
good ns thcmsolves. and when men learn
