People of the Tillman type snorted crit
ically and sobbed a few sobs Of fearless
grief when. few weeks ago, woman
was removed from the White House for
creating a disturbance. The affair was
magnihed to the limit by those predisposed
TO criticism, yet very few Of the critics
possess intelligent comprehension Of the
strain put upon the patience and good
nature of White House employees by
cranks and people with axes 60 grind. \
great many people harbor the notion that
the chief duty of the rest of mankind
is to wait on them. and countless NUM-
bers OF this class drift to the White House
and think they own II. The average crank
is easily disposed of, as he generally be-
trays himself to a policeman. Not so with
the man or woman who deliberately plans
to obtain admission to the presidents office
by a trick. An observant correspondent
of the New York Tribune tells how these
schemers scheme

A republican senator or representative,
or obliging bureau chief, says the CORE
spondent, is made the convenient vehicle
for carrying the designing person into the
presidents office. Almost any statesman
or officeholder of the higher grade in
good standing with the administration will
do for the purpose, and, no matter what
obligations of honor or friendship would
seem to prohibit the subterfuge. the END
justifies the means in the schemer's eyes,
and the crime is planned and executed In
cold blood
"Now senator If you'll only take me up
10 the presidents office so that 1 can shake
his hand, I'll be under a thousand obliga-
TONS" is the most common method of at
tack. ooh, dear, no; don't want to take
up moment of his time; just little visit
of respect, you know" and the good ma
tured senator falls into the trap.

bodies hold their meetings in star cham

Then there are the multifarious friends
of the president" people who knew him
when he was a little shaver down on Long
Island, asquaintances of his people in New
York City and men from the west who
know some one who knew the president
when he was ranching it on the Little
Missouri in the SOS. They all, singly, in
pairs or In crowds, reach the White House
or Sycamore hill--when the president is at
home there on vacation-and all of them
have their grievances to air or their ambi-
lions to satisfy.
1t is, of course, impossible for the presi-
dent to see every person who would like
| to visit him and consume his time Even
| in Washington's day such a thing would
have been out of the question, and IL that
is so, how much further is it now from
the power of the president when the pop
! ulation and the facilities for their reach
! ing the national capital have grown thou
sandfold? Neither the presidents powers
of endurance nor the length of the days
has kept pace with the nations growth,
though many of the presidents friends are
ready to declare that he must be made OF
Bessemer steel and whipcord to go through
/ what he does and survive.
| One who stands at the door OF the Office
for half day is amazed at the number
of visitors who pass in. fulfll their missions
and go away happy. Certainly many of
! them do not see the president at all. It
would be physically impossible for him
/ even to bow to all who come. Therefore
the wits Of Secretary Loeb and his subor-
dnates are kept continually sharpened and
| their ingenuity tested to the utmost to in
vent schemes to tighten his burdens. Con-
J sidering the immense volume OF work that
/ is transacted i'm that unDretentious office.
/ II IS little wonder that now and then an
! incident occurs which is not on the card
and has its unpleasant features But rare,
] indeed, are the "untoward happenings" at
/ the White House.

While this has been going on the presi-
dent has been growing more and more
nervous, and, at its conclusion, grabs the
three thousand petition from the visitor s
hand with desperate clutch. Yes, yes,
I'll look into the matter" he exclaims
TN read every one of the 5000 signatures,
perhaps, and if the senator here will add
his endorsement your cousin may get the
appointment"
The last portion of the presidents re-
marks smacks little of revenge. The
president remembers that the willy senator
has already committed himself to some one
else for that job. The senator grinds his
teeth In despair over the break" he has
committed by fetching the importunate
visitor to the White House, and hustles the
cousin of" out of the executive presence

AS soon as the words of introduction are
spoken in the presidents Office the visitors
time is at hand, and instead of passing out
gracefully, as the senator expects and the
president probably hopes will be the pro-
gram, the caller exclaims: oh Mr.. Presi-
dent, while I am here I'd just like to call
your attention to the fact that 1 have a
second cousin by marriage who is a great
admirer of yours. He fought in the
Spanish war-that is, he got as far as
Washington from his home up in Mime
sota-but, as can show you, he has fine
military record in the militia and even
when boy was a great admrer of yours.
Why, when he was in the high school he
composed a poem called Our Teddy which
was set to music and played with great
success by the village band at three con-
certs."
Now, isn't that Just splendid" exclaims
the president, smiling genially and drop
ping the visitors hand. II am so glad
that you called and when you visit Wash
ington again 1 hope that you will come
and see me. Give my best regards to
your cousin and tell him that 1 will be
pleased to see him, too. Now senator"
and the president turns to the senator who
has conveyed the visitor to his Office in
a vain hope that the cousin by marriage
of the young military hero will take the
hint Take 1t? Well hardly.

''Oh, L wanted to tell you" continues
the somewhat removed relative, that
have some papers here which 1 brought
down to show you. They are the endorse
ments of 5000 of our leading citizens and
county voters who are backing my cousin
for the position of internal revenue col
lector to succeed Colonl So-and-So, whose
term expires next April. Colonel So-and-so,
you know, is afflicted with asthma and,
his friends say, will not again be a candi-
date. Now, my cousin knows all about
the duties of the office, Tor he was treas
urer of his church society for five years
and did all the collecting, and learned the
inside of the internal revenue business
while in his fathers cigar store His father
manufactured the popular brand of cigars
known as Teddy's Tobies'-named in your
honor, strand had to buy a great many
revenue stamps every year. While buy
ing the stamps he got very well acquainted
with the inside workings of the department,
so his friends believe it will be an ideal
appointment for you to make, Mr.. Presi-
dent"
