Who Is the Boss?

The superintendent of a big depart ment store in Boston conducts U school of salesmanship in his establishment. and one of the first questions he puts to his class of beginners is: "Who Is the bOSS?"
 After salesman pupils have guessed every official about the establishment, the superintendent explains. "NO. no. no; he is not the boss. The real boss in this store is the customer. It's the customer that you and are here to please. It's the customer who pays your wages and mine. Now. If you are sitting behind your counter. doing nothing and you see me coming. don't jump up; but If you see the customer the boss-coming. jump! That al- ways makes deep impression"

Mir. Schiff on the Tariff.

Former Governor Glynn is to be congratulated for resurrecting the speech of Jacob H. Schiff at the ban quet of the Republican club last Jan unry. Speaking of the tariff. Mir. Schiff said:
 "I want to explain that nothing cnn stop the great prosperity we now have except renewal of tariff agitation in the next campaign. Standing here on holy Republican ground. 1 say to you. without fear or favor. if you renew in the next presidential campaign the tariff agitation of the past. if you threuten the country and show 1t you want Il renewal of special privilege and high protection. the people will have none of 1t. The people have learned; the wOrkmen and the farmers have learned. and they cannot he mis- led any longer. do not say that be cause I love the Republican party less. but because l love 1t more. My heart is for the Republican party. but my common sense makes me q Democrat"
 It is well to recall these frank words which the Republican leaders have re jected. They have done just what Schiff warned them not to do: they have renewed their old demand for special privilege and high protection. and they are going to meet the defeat which one of their own wiSest men predicted for them six months ago.

GOOD TARIFF PLANK
Democratic Wisdom Shown in Its
 Adoption.
Endorsement of Nonrartisan Commits sion Will Surely Appeal to Those Who Have the country's Real
 interests at Heart.

Having taken the greed and graft out of the tariff, the Democratic party in its platform naturally omits the taxation for the enrichment of private interests which long characterized it's utteranceS on this sub iect.' Some peo- pie will miss also the proposition that congress has no constitutional power to impose tariffs except for revenue, and the familiar words ''u tariff for revenue only" are not used. though the sentiment Is there in general terms.
 Tariff blanks in both parties vary greatly from time to time. High-tariff Republicans have not always pro- claimed and glorified eXtOrtiOn as in the days of Hanna and Mckinley.
 Only on few occasions have low tariff Democrats acr"pted without qualification the radical theory that because protection was likely to be abused the principle must be de- nounced and abandoned. The fact is that Democrats as well as Republicans when in power have always recognized the prOpriety of safeguarding Amer ican enterprise and industry.
 What makes this years Democratic tariff plank noteworthy is it's candid recognition. by indOrsement of non partisan tariff commission. of the legitimate business aspects of tariff taxation as applied to foreign conpeti- tiOn in manufactures and trade. Civ ing congress accurate information and expert advice. such body should prove ns diScOuraging to the eXtrem- ists who would burn the custom houses as to the gluttOns of monopoly who would turn them into robbers roosts.- New York World.
