clear that the presidents recovery will make
his relation to the fund very peculiar and
delicate one, and in many accounts it is for
his interest and that of the public that this
should be frankly discussed by the press in
advance.
One or two subscribers have made their
subscriptions conditioned upon his death.
If he recovers it will Of course be very diff
cult to distinguish between gift to the
president and gift TO his wife. The plan
of putting money in trust does not remove
| this difficulty. Among subscribers are men
Interested in promotion Of legislation for
| private enterprises of all sorts. This legis.
1ation must come before the president for
approval or disapproval, and il is of utmost
Importance not merely that he should be
subjected to no private bias in favor of
promotions Of such enterprises, but that he
should not be open TO any suspicion If such
bias. The sympathy with him in his pres

are knocking every year at the. doors of
congress for favors will be handle for his
enemies which they win not neglect TO nse.
