ex-senator William E Chandler.
president of the Spanish claims COM
mission, entitled, Wanted, by the
United States. a President"
The article is a strong argument for
reform in the present methods of
conducting executive business.
Mr.. Chandler asserts that a presi-
dent has now only three objects in his
life-frst, to see 10000 people a year;
second, to accomplish 1900 little things,
and third, to try to do 200 great things.
In the seeing of so many thousand
people about trivial matters and in Civ
ing his attention 10 the thousands Of
little things, the president. Mr.. Chand-
Ter insists, is worn out and becomes
physically unable to grappIe with the
great problems 10 which he ought to
give his undivided attention.
Mr. Chandler cites from personal
knowledge the cases Of presidents who
have almost suceumbed under the
strain, instancing particularly Presi-
dent Arthur, in whose cabinet he was
secretary of the navy, and President
Mckinley, to whose impaired health
Mr.. Chandler attributes inability to
recover from the shock from the as
sassin's bullet
Mr.. Chandler expresses his re-
gret that President Roosevelt. "even
with his Quickness, his acuteneSS and
his present untiring industry and ener-
gy, has given cOuntenance to the idea
that he will do all the appointing him
self and hear all that anyone has to
say concerning any appointment"
Mr. Chandler thinks that the great
weight Of the pressure for Office ought
to fall upon the cabinet ministers, and
that the president ought TO have more
time for important things.
