l.cvc that the chief executive should be
man Of leisure rather than an official
hack. lie should have time to consider
and study the great matters OF public
policy connected with his office, and he
should not worry himself over details,
These should be lett to his subordinates.
His cabinet ministers should relieve him
from all that drudgery. They should be
his assistants in the carrying out OF hi,
policy. lie should rely upon them to do
their work and he should not devote
his time and brain to examining the
papers OF petty postmasters, or OF the
tide'waitefs at every small custom
