The President Little Childish.

Affairs at the White House have
taken peculiar turn Of late and
some Of the idiosencracIes which
were expected of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt when he first became
President have appeared. This
was particularly noticible in his
final deposition of the Schley af-
fair. His attitude in the matter
was autocratic in the extreme. 1t
cannot be denied, of course, that
General Miles had violated
technicality, but while he had,
perhaps, laid himself open to mild
reproof there was no ground or
precedent for the drastic repri-
mand which the President saw fit to
administer, and many who know
Mr.. Roosevelt believe that he per-
mitted his annoyance over the en-
tire Navy Department wrangle to
lead him beyond the dictates of
his more deliberate judgement.
This belief is carried out by the
scene which occurred in the White
House the day that the reprimand
was made public. General Miles
called at the White House, presum-
ably with view to ward off
public reprimand, when he was
met at the entrance to the Presi-
dents reception room by the Pres
ident himself. Without regard to
the number of people present,
without even closing the door, the
antl-room being full Of newspaper
men, the President proceeded to
"scold" the General Commanding
the Army in manner that would
have been of questionable dignity
had General Miles been a West
Point cadet and evidenced sad
lack of appreciation of the dignity
of his own position and the cour-
tesy due to the Generals rank. A
Senator who was present, and who
is warm friend of the President,
said "It is a great pity. The
President was simply mad, and
gave way to his feelings, but it is
just like him, as he used to be-"
Immediately upon the heels of
his interview came serious affront
to Secretary Long. Acting prob
ably upon impulse the President
instructed Secretary Of War, Root,
to make public the letter calling
upon historian Maclay for his res
ignation and signed by Secretary
Long. AS soon as he returned to
the War Department Secretary
Root gave out typewriter copies
of the letter to the newspapermen
who Immediately took them to the
Secretary of the Navy to ask for
an expression Of opinion from /
him. He positively declared that
no such letter had been written
and that the copy was spurious.
He imagined that the newspaper
men were laying a trap for him.
Later he learned that the President
had authorized the publication Of
