HOW FAR CAN "OPEN
DOOR, POLICY PREVAIL

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 19-Presi-
dent Wilson's statement that he in
tends to have an open door" at the
white house, SO far as it is possible,
has aroused much discussion as to the
extent to which a president can admit
the public to his ordinary working
quarters.
At present the white house offices.
adjoining the executive mansion, are
comparatively easy of access to per-
sons with business there or who are
introduced as visitors at the regular
receiving hours, but ordinary visitors
are politely told by guards at the
door that the offices are for business
only"
President Cleveland came into office
with the announced purpose of trans
acting public business "behond glass
doors" but he found the accommoda
tons at the white house not we'll fitted
for such arrangements. An hour or
two is given now by the president al
most exery day, except in times of
pressing business, to shaking hands
with visitors, and President Taft and
his predecessors have maintained fair
ly free relations with the public dur
ing reception hours, except for the
outer guard that protects the execu-
tive against undesirable persons.
Visitors to the president during bust
ness hours now pass the scrutiny OF
the doorkeeper and the presidents pri-
vate secretary.
