GET ALONG WITHOUT BOSSiNa
Joseph Pulitzer Selected His Right
Hand Men With Care, and Then
Let Them Alone.

There is an old provrrh to the ef-
feet that good boss makes GOOD
sWorklnan There must be something
in il. The most successful employ
erS are those who have the most worth
while employees. Part of the sue
cess, 10 doubt, is in picking the EN-
ployee. Another part, perhaps. is in
letting him alone. if he is worth keep
ing he is worth trusting.
Joseph Pulitzer never dictated to

Ing to an exchange. He never told
me what 20 write or what not TO-.
Only once in my life did he even make
request Of me-"
Blythe was for years the star man
in the great blind editors Washing
ton bureau Now and then, as Blythe
explained, Mr.. Pulitzer went to some
trouble to prove in the editorial col
umn that Blythe was suffering from q
prolapsus of the; intellect. Sometimes
he maSsed facts to show that his Opin-
ion differed monumentally from that
of his Washington luminary. But he
never dictated, said Blythe. Or al
most meyer. But once he did ask
a favor.
Il had been sharpshooting at the
manner in which great firm. OF archi-
tects was abusing the exterior OF the

day l got wire from the old man. 1t
ran something like this:
"'Unless YOU have a deep personal
feeling in the matter I wish you would
cease further reference to the rebuild
ing of the White House. Please un-
derstand this is not a criticism of what
YOU have written. But the same firm
Of architects is building a house for

Blythe's conclusion was that an en-

Juooslavia Prosperous.

Jugoslavai is reported to be in bet
ter financial condition than most OF
it's neighbors. It's national debt is
about $6O0,000,0O0 gold and the budget
approximately balances. Per capita
taxes are considerably less than cne-
third what they are in Roumania,
Czechoslovakia and France. The
wealth of the country is at present
mainly agricultural. Grazing is an
important industry. Several new fac
tories have recently been opened and
it is interesting to note that some Of
these are financed, wholly or in part,
with the capital Of Russian refugees
who managed to bring their wealth
with them when they escaped from
their own country.
