Blocks His Advance

A young man enters the service of
a wholesale manufacturing concern.
Ths superintendent informs him
that if he takes an interest in the
business the business will take an
interest i'll him. After the boy has
become acquainted with the routine
Of his Office work he begins 90 look
round him little During the busy
hours he steps into the shipping room
or the sales.room and gives little
assistance here and there. He is
permitted to do this for a day or
two, but before long a man steps up
to him, and says: "What are ycu
doing hereY If the boss wants to
hire any more help, let him do so.
Don't you understand that you are
probably taking the bread and but
ter away from some hard up fellow,
who Is out of employment and who
would be likely to get a Job if you
would stay where you belong? Go
back to the Office and attend to your
own business, or the union will get
after you" The boy suddenly
awakes to the situation He has to
choose between the slurs of his fell
lows and what he considers to be
his duty to his employers. He is
good natured young fellow and his
companions soon carry him off his
feet. Later, when the boss asks him
why he does not take more interest
in the business, he tells his story and
only too often the superintendent is
compelled to leave him to his fate,
for the business is found to be per-
meatcd with this spirit from cellar
to groupd.-Atlantlc.

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON

President Taft has expressed hin-
self, recently, as not 50 well pleased
with the attitude Of the Sennte to-
ward the tariff bill. The members
Of the Finance Committee have oou-
suited the President from time to
time, regarding certain features Of
their substitute, aud for the provis-
ions relating to Imports from tho
Philippines. the proposed customs
@ lurt and the maximum, minimum
clause, ihcy have won his unquah.
fled approval. With regard TO spec
ific rates, however, Mr. Taft has not
been consulted and the Senate lead.
ers have contented themselves with
geHerRl assurances. TO the President,
of their sincerity Of purpose so 10
frame the schedules as TO command
his approval. 1t is not at all clear
whether President Taft's desire to
commend all that was oommendabls
has been misconstrued, or whether
the erroneous impression has been
gaiued that his satisfaction with Ger
tain features uf the measure would
offset his disapproval of the schc-
dulles.

In discussing the tariff recently
with friends the President has
frankly deplored the fact that the
men on whose assistance he sbodld
be able TO rely, to Insure an adequate
revision of the Diugley rates, are so
unwilling to subordinate their local
interests to the national welfare
and are seflshly insistent on tie
maintenance Of high duties on those
commodities most produced in their
respective states.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1909-05-07
can cordially approve.

The Republican members of the
Finance Committee have completed
draft of the section creating the new
tarif bureau. This bure u is to he
formed by consolidating the existing
bureaus of statistics and mauufac
turers, now under the supervision Of
the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor the bureau Of trade relations,
now a part of the Department Of
State and the division of customs,
Of the Treasury Department. The
new bureau viii be made a part Of
the Treasury Departments, and an ad
! ditioual Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury win be provided for who
will have immediate Jurisdiction
over It.
a second section of the Senate
substitute provides for special ogents
TO be appointed by the President to
collect information here and abroad

for the use of the President in ad.

The President is keenly alive 10
the Importance of expeditions work
by the two houses of Congress he
realizes TO the full the embarrass.
mcnt to the business interests of the
country which is the inevissble con,
oonitant of uncertainty regarding
the tariff rates but he is no less APP
preeiative of the fact that the pres
ent tnrifr revision will, or should, be
OF such Il character as to forestall all
reasonab agitation for another re.
adjustment Of the schedules for n
decade or longer. Under these cir.
cumstauces he places the Interests Of
the consumer for that period against
tho immediate necessities of the
business man, and from the compar.
isnn he arrives at the conclusion
that, for purely economic reasons,
it is better to prplong the present
situation even by veto, if that be
necessary, than to have written on
the statutes an inequitable tariff act
Senate leaders are rather disposed
e. dismiss with little consideration
all lutimat.Ons of the Presidents dis
satisfaction, and they go so far even
as to assert that only those who are
making the tariff can form any ade
quate conception of tine difficulties
as to the form the measure will as
sume after it has been submitted to
the fire of the conference. However
that may be, the Chief Executive
has a keen suspicion that the un
equivocal expression of dissatisfac.
tion, on the part of legal Republi.
cans, with the Senate's work thus
far, can only promote the ultimate
formulation of measure which he
can cordially approve.
