Gave Them Today.
| Washington, March president
Roosevelt today gave a farewell
luncheon at the White House to the
members of the famous tennis cab
! linet' and others who have been
closely associated with him during
1.-The last seven years. Aside from the
distinguished government officials
who have served among the presi-
dents chief aides during his admin
istration and also as his companions.
Ithere We're present men wnom the
president had made friends, when he
was roughing it in the West years
ago and with whom he had gone on
numerous hunting expeditions.
The occasion was memorable to
those who surrounded the president
today and the latter's farewell words
were not entirely free from notes of
regret if not sadness. The president
, in a brief speech laid emphasis on
| the point that no administration had
given its chief more loyal service and
| he stated that he believed that the
country had never had more devoted
set OF public servants than those men
through whom he said most of the
work of his administration had been
accomplished.
! The president in his remarks fol-
| lowing the luncheon said.
Gentlemen: You are here nominal
/ ly as members, Or to meet the mem
bers of the famous Tennis Cabinet
that is, as men with whom at tennis
or hunting, or riding, or walking, or
| boxing, | have played, with whom |
have been on the roundup or in the
| mountains or on the ranch. But really
as you know, you are not here for
that reason at all You are here be.
cause you are the men and because
YOU represent the men with whom I
have worked while have been presi-
dent. No administration has ever had
finer or more loyal service than you
have given and | do not believe this
country has ever had an ADLER or more
devoted set of public servants. 1t is
through you and the like of you that |
nave done the major part of what has
been accomplished under the admin
istration
! Moreover, in a vast number of
/, cases, the doing of the work itself
has been your only reward The
, credit has come TO me as the chief
OF the administration. For exactly as
men like to symbolic battle by the
: name OF the commander, so they like
? to symbolic an administration by the
e, man at the head, forgetting that the
immense majority of his acts can be
2 done only through others and that a
+, really successful administration, sue
4 cessful from the standpoint of ad-
f vancing the honor and the interests
of the country must be managed as
ours has been, in spirit of the most
loyal association and partnership
There are many others like you whom
! would have given much to bring
here today, but Than. -
