ROCSEVELT'S IDEA.


d. G. Phillips, in Golfers Weekly.
Mr.. Roosevelt's notion of the presidential
office is that it is the center of authority
and also the center of honor. To erect it
into the center of authority, he has cowed
the legislative branch of the government
by winning for himself popular idolatry
atives that his will is the concentrated es-
sence of the will of the people, to be OPP
posed at the risk of provoking the ven
geance of the people; also. he has pushed
into such matters the coal strike, the
composition of the family, the principles of
militant patriotism, the duty OIL citizenship,
the obligation of the rich TO live and to
spend wisely. No other President since
jackson has been so directly and obviously
the peoples representative; and not even
Jackson displayed such all-round anxiety
for the welfare of the people. OF contem-
poraneous heads of nations in civilization
only the German Emperor approaches him
in this respect. The Emperor thanks to a
different political system, is able to sur
pass him.
But this conception of the President as
a center of political, intellectual and So
Geological authority is only half a mighty
whole. The other half is his conception
of the President as q center of social honor
Not only must the democratic overload
anointed with the divine oil of popular ap-
prevail be the embodiment and exponent
of the popular will: he must also be the
source of honor, the recognizer of merit
Does one sing well? Does one paint well :?
Does one write well? Does one lead in
education or literature or law or sociology
or finance or commerce or trade? Is one
in the forefront of any sort of useful and
broad activity? Then the President of the
American people must entertain him, must
take his hand in that hand which is a sort
of composite of 100000 right hands of
fellowship. The approving accents of that
voice, whose "De-light-edv' is the COM
posite of SO.O00.OO0 approving voices, must
tickle his ravished ears; he must at the
presidential board eat and drink the COM
posite Inequalities of 100000 dinner or
luncheon tables.

MIR. ROOSEVELT AS ENTERTAINER.
The White House n Social Center Now
as Never Before.

D. G. Phillips. in Golfers Weekly.
Mr. Roosevelt entertains not occasionally,
but constantly: not exclusively. but demo-
few score guests, but hundreds and thou
sands. He has a multitude of guests TO
lunch, a multitude TO dine a multitude 20
hear music or 10 take part in various kinds
OF drawing rooms" and levees. q multitude
TO stay the night under his roof-not mui-
titude all at one time. but multitude in the
aggregate: Rich and poor. snob and demo-
crat, black and white, American and for
eigner. capitalist and laborer. Maine woods
guide, Western scout, fashionable and
frouzy-all equally welcome. all equal at his
court. Morgan and Jacob Riis. Countess de
Castellane and Booker Washington, Wild
Bill and Bishop Potter, Duse and Rough
Rider Rob, VIII Allen White and a New
York cotillion leader. Not long ago. when
some one said in his hearing. There's no
first-class hotel In Washington" he re-
piled. You forget the White House." He
has made IL indeed a national hotel or.
rather, a national assembling place. And
he Is ever unsatisfied, Is ever reaching out
for more and more "doers." for more and
more people of interest or Importance He
wishes all people of mark to bask in the
presidential sunshine. to give him the BEN
eft OF their intellect or character, or what
ever they may have that is worth seeing or
hearing. For he wishes TO receive as well
as TO give. And he Is determined that his
court shall be entirely and completely rep

Ing though IL is as a sudden development,
Is but the crude beginning of the Washing
ton of tomorrow. But IL is a beginning
q most audacious move on the part OF one
of the most audacious men who ever rose
to first place in the Republic.
This year the White House demand upon
Congress for running expenses leaped from
the customary $4,000 to $4,000. AS Mr..
Roosevelt's salary is just under $1,000
week and as he evidently believes the peo-
pie expect the President TO spend his sal
airy upon the establishment Of the position,
IL appears that the new White House, the
new court. is now on the average costing
in the neighborhood Of 5000 a week, half
from the pocket of the people, the other
half from Mr.. Roosevelts private pocket.
AS the heavy expense is crowded into five
months of the year-December to April, in
clusive-the probabilities are that the new
White House Is costing during the season
not far from 5000 week This means that
the new departure has certainly doubled
and has perhaps trebled the cost of the
White House court-for most Presidents
have contributed about half their salary
toward holding court and have called on
Congress for a supplementary appropria-
fion of S25 900 q year.

EXODUS FROM AUSTRIA
INSPECTOR BRAUN'S ACCOUNT OF
THE EMIGRANT SITUATION.
Peasants Often Helpless Dupes of
Steamship Agents-One Village
Almost DepOpulated.

VIENNA, May 25-Marcus Braun, a
United States emigrant inspector who was
specially detailed by President Roosevelt
to investigate the emigrant situation in
Europe, has just completed an exhaustive
tour through the towns and country dis
tricts of Austria and Hungary. Mr.. Braun
finds every indication that the present emf
grafton movement from the Austro-Hun-
garian monarchy to the United States and
Canada will continue and even increase
He says this situation arises from three
main sources: The encouragement afforded
by emigrants who have already gone to
America the poverty and unsatisfactory
labor conditions here, and, lastly, the efforts
of the INSCRIPTIONS local emigration agents.
whose employment Is carried on in de-
fiance Of the laws of both Austro-Hungary
and the United States.
One feature Of the situation. says Mr..
Braun is the apparent conflict between
the national government and the local OFF,
Gals in dealing with this immigration
question. The governments of both Aus
deavor to restrict the outward flow of the
nations youth, not only on account of
the dislike of the military authorities to
seeing young men go abroad without naving
the more important economic reason that
emigration is fast depopulating the country
districts and placing the land owners In
an exceedingly awkward situation by rea-
son of the lack of cheap farm labor. Mr..
Braun visited one large village in north
Hungary which contained no male inhabi-
tants between the ages Of ten and sixty
years.
The Algrarian party. which is powerful in
the monarchy is bringing the utmost pres
sure to bear on the government to prevent
the continuance of this state of affairs. On
the other hand. the local authorities in
many instances are covertly encouraging
emigration, chiefly in order to benefit from
the cash remittances sent by the peasants
and laborers after reaching America.
These remittances aggregate large sums.
many immigrants depositing their entire
savings acquired in America in the local
bank of Hungary and Galicia. The clergy
and church often receive substantial gifts
from the old members of their congrega-
ton Added to this the village public Of
ficials often act as local emigration agents
and thus have a financial inducement to
aid in the work.
Mr. Braun finds that the peasant en-
igrants are helpless duDes of the unscrup-
ulous agents who carefully prepare them
to meet the examination of the emigrant
inspectors both here and in America. The
steamship companies, almost without ex-
cepton, fiagrantly ignore the section of
the American law requiring copy of the
act printed in the language of the country,
to be posted in the steamship Offices.

WILL GRANT NO CONCESSIONS.


gether Against Employees.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 25.-At full
meeting tonight Of the executive commit
tee of the fourteen branches of textile
manufacturers of this city the manufacture
ers decided that no concessions be made to
their employees. The following notices will
be posted in all the mills represented at to-
nights meeting: I'm reply to the request
of the employees of this establishment for
reduction of working hours from sixty to
fifty-five per week, we feel compelled to
decline this request, because, If granted, 1t
would place us at a great disadvantage in
the necessary competition Of our products
with those mills in other parts of the coun-
try whose working hours are sixty or more
per week, or whose rates of wages are low
err than paid in Philadelphia. Therefore,
the consideration of this proposition will
not be opportune until such time as the
working hours and rates of wages of other
textile centers are, when considered togeth-
er. as favorable to the employees as those
which now prevail in the Philadelphia dis
trict"
At largely attended meeting of the In
grain Carpet Weavers' Union tonight it
was decided by a two-thirds vote OF the
1900 men present to strike on June II the
manufacturers continue to refuse their de-
mands This strike, it was declared, would
close sixty mills in Philadelphia and would
affec. probably 5000 employees.
The textile dyers to the number or Luz
also met tonight and decided 90 strike on
June l unless the employers increased
their wages 81 a week. They now receive
$12 a week.

That Miss Helen Miller Gould should be
honored with a stained glass window in
an important charitable institution which
is doing a work of great usefulness will
strike no one as inappropriate. Miss Gould's
work cannot possibly have too beautiful
a recognition. The window which Mrs
Russell Sage has placed in the American
Female Guardian Society's home in the
Bronx does not in the least seek to magni-
fy Miss GOulds name. but rather to attach
to the institution the distinctly religious
and protective significance of a sacred
story. II is but incidentally a tribute to
Miss Gould.
In her Astounding benevolence Miss Gould
has been an instrument of a very broad
