ON BEING A
BOSS
II You Sit on High Place. Don't
Gaze at the Clouds
From Letters From q Sclf Made Mer-
chant To- His Son," IN GeOrge
Horace LJrimer

Consider carefully before you say
hard word to a man, but never let a
chance TO say good one go by. Praise
judiciously bestowed is money invest
ed.
Never learn anything about your
men except from themselves. A good
manager needs no detectives, and the
fellow who can't read human nature
can't manage 1t. The phonograph rec
ords of Il fellows character are lined
in his face, and a mans days tell the
secrets OF his nights.
Be slow to hire and quick TO fire. The
time to discover incompatibility Of tenn
per and curl papers is before the mar
rage ceremony. But when you find
that you've hired the wrong man you
can't get rid of him too quick. Pay him
an extra month. but don't let him stay
another day. A discharged clerk in the
office Is like q splinter in the thumb-a
center Of soreness.
Never threaten, because threat is a
promise TO pay that ii isn't always con
venient TO meet, but if you don't make
II good 1t hurts your credit. Save a
threat till you're ready TO act, and then
you won't need 1t. In all your dealings
remember that today is your opportu-
nifty; tomorrow some other fellows.
Keep close to your men. When fell
lows sitting on top of mountain he's
In mighty dignfied and exalted posi-
ton. but If he's gazing at the clouds
he's missing heap of interesting and
important doings down in the valley.
Never lose your dignity, of course. but
tie it up in all the red tape you can find
around the Office and tuck 1t away in
the safe.
It's easy for boss to awe his clerks,
but a man who is feared to his face is
hated behind his back. A competent
boss can move among his men without
having to draw an imaginary line be-
tween them, because they will see the
real one If II exists.
Besides keeping in touch with your
office men you want to feel your sales
men all the time. Send each of them a
letter every day, so that they won't for
get that we are making goods for
which we need orders, and insist on
their sending you line every day
whether they have anything to say or
not. When fellow has to write in six
times a week to the house he uses up
his explanations mighty fast and he's
pretty apt to hustle for business to
make his seventh letter interesting.
Right here l want to repeat that In
keeping track Of others and their faults
It's very, very important that you
shouldn't lose sight of your own. Au-
thority swells up some fellows so that
they can't see their corns, but wise
man tries to cure his own while remem,
berlng not to tread on his neighbours.

The President and the Spinsters.

President Roosevelt has lately been
taken to task by considerable body
Of well meaning and entirely respecta-
BILE Americans, embracing what they
choose to term the Old Maids Associa-
ton of Western New York, for his re-
marks about race suicide" At con.
yention in Rochester the president,
doubtless voicing the sentiment of 9th
err members of the association, said:
President Roosevelt believes in the rear
ing of large families. He has a right to
his opinion, but when he places childless-
ness in the same category with criminal
acts he goes too far. The president is the
father of what we Americans would call
a large family He Is not the mother of
a large family. We have heard nothing
about race suicide from the mothers of
America. Let the president grapple with
the trusts. the tariff and the coming cleo
ton. They are more in his line He can
safely leave the question of babies In the
hands Of the women of this great re-
public.
1t Is not easy to see how any one
can successfully take issue with the
president of the Old Maids association
or how any one would dare to do SO.
The lady makes the telling point that
President Roosevelt is not the mother
of large family and Is therefore nec-
essarily one sided in his views. AS
for that matter, however, neither is
his critic the mother of a large family
or at least it must be SO assumed from
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1903-05-08

the fact that she Is the presiding on
Ger Of a spinsters' association, though
she probably knows enough about the
matter Co rcaline that IL Is all very
well for a man to put on airs and talk
about large families. but-well, as she
SAYS. we have heard nothing from the
mothers Of America about race sui.
eide" and IL Is well enough TO wait for
some expression from them.
II Is not difficult TO appreciate in
measure how the president Of n spin
sters' association must feel about this
matter. In the first place. IL Is exas-
p.rating TO be held accountable for
something which is not ones fault
and no doubt the other members agree
with her. In all fairness It would APP
pear TO be up TO the president 10 either
promptly issue n disclaimer, making it
plain that his remarks on race sui
eide" were not intended 10 apply TO the
old maids Of the country, or forth
with put this and other spinster asso-
Citations in touch with some get mar
