A Presidential Car.

1t IS reported that Mr.. Roosevelt is
opposed. in principle, to accepting
transportation from the common car
riers. This report bears the marks
OF probability and is pregnant with
suggestion
There is something to be said in
defense of the ancient and time-hon-
ored custom of free transportation
for our Chief Executive; nay, there
is much to be said in its favor. It
is a graceful thing TO offer and it can
be accepted without loss of dignity,
self-respect, or honor. 1t is analo-
gous to the presentation of prize
pumpkins and dropsical squashes to
ye country editor, suggested to the
donor by respect and admiration, not
designed to sway policy or principle,
and always resulting in free advertis-
ing.
The President of the United States
Is, by comparison, the most poorly
paid public servant in the world; at
the same time there are more de-
mands made upon him personally and
officially than upon any other living
man. He is the ruler and representa-
tive OF 100000 people scattered
over fifty States and Territories, COW
ering 1902. $40 square miles of land.
1t is OF the very highest impor-
tance to the general welfare for
the people to come in contact with
the President and learn for them
selves what manner OF man he is; it is
OF equal moment for the President to
get IN personal touch with every sec
ton OF the country and to know all
sorts and conditions of men. These
things can best be accomplished by
frequent excursions made by the Ex-
eeutive, and the cost, If computed at
the usual rates, would be prohibitiVe
not only TO salary equal to that the
President now receives but to any the
country ever viii give him.
It is absolutely prepesterous to
imagine that any President was ever
improperly influenced by the courte-
sizes he accepted from the railroads;
it is TO the credit of the railroads
that today they are as willing to ex-
tend free transportation to Theodore
Roosevelt, the champion of equal
privileges and the square deal, the
leader OF the fight against railway
abuses, as ever; and yet it is TO the
credit of Mr. Roosevelt that he
should be in favor OF doing away
with the old order of things in this
regard.
There is now imposed upon the
people of the United States a duty TO
insist that Congress provide for the
President a special train of cars,
built in American shops, of the finest
hofae materials, fashioned by the
most skiliful labor OF the Republic.
And that these cars be provided with
all necessities. The engines to draw
such train and its time schedules,
when in use. must of necessity be
left to be provided by the roads ira
yersed; and the country could very
we'll, by law, provide that such serY-
ice be paid for at rate not TO ex-
coed a certain sum per mile and the
accounts charged to any funds in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated,
not more than a certain sum TO be so
used in any one calendar year.
Such a solution of the problem
would eomport with the dignity of
the country, be agreeable to the Ex-
ecutiye, and relieve the railroads.
