Ter 10 his own house. His servants
win not curry out his orders. What
boots IT, one may ask. - be president
and yet unable to rule under ones
own roof?
This does not mean that President
Taft Is treated with disrespect by
White House servants. Only in one
particular do they ignore bis requests.
The one thing about which personal
instructions from Mr. Taft are ignored
yoncern his personal movements. He
Is never permitted to leave the White
House without a secret service man
attending him. If the president goes
out to Chevy Chase to play golf. to
MONDAY wedding or the theater ut
night, you may be sure that one OF
these guardians is near.
The Presidents Bodysuard.
The secret service men OH duty at
the White House have one standing
order. 1t is never to let the president
get out of their sight beyond the linn
its of the executive mansion. 1t is not
necessary for the president to send
word to his guardians when he is
about to depart. Every doorkeeper.
maidservant and manseryant IN the
executive mansion Is under the most
mandatory injunction to send word at
once to the secret service men when
the president is about to leave. He
may be In his living rooms late at
night and suddenly determine TO take
walk. When he reaches for bis hat
the word Is phoned to the executive
offices, and Chief Wilkes men are on
the alert.
When an order is sent to the garage
or the stable for the Taft automobile
or carriage word goes ut the same time
to the secret service men. The presi-
dent accepts the situation philosophi-
rally, It il said, and has never once
suggested that he did not desire the
attendance of secret service ulan.
Probably he knows that 1t would be
useless for him TO make such re-
quest
