precious hour is spent greeting the school
children from all over the land who. under
the Chaperonage of teachers and their own
member Of Congress. come 70 Washington
and pay their respects TO the Chief ENeou-
tive.
Mrs Taft too, by the way, is equally
solicitous for all the women's organizations
that come to Washington. and az the Presi-
dent seldom denies her her slightest wish,
he is not infrequently called away from his
desk to stand with her and receive the
women delegates to some one or other Of

capital as their place Of meeting.
The work of the President is too heavy.
No man possessed Of othor than IN iron
constitution could perform II and maintain
mis- health. one OF the largest and most
annoving-because so relatively unimpor-
tant-phases of the Presidents work is the
distribution Of patronage, the appointment
of postmasters. collectors Of customs, reg
isters and receivers of the Land Office. etc
To the Senator and Representative inter
ested these petty positions often assume
greater importance than an international
crisis. and many q weary hour is spent by
the President trying TO reconcile the differ
ences between the factions in state dele
cation regarding some position which at
best probab bly, will pay Sl,2o) a year. To
the man who loves politics this work may
prove less obnoxious than it does to Presi-
dent Taft but Il is waste Of the time Of
any President. and should be entirely elm
mated. President Taft has tire" times
urged Congress 10 place all these minor
places within the classified service, so that
incumbents may hold office as long as they
remain efficient and trustworthy, and w
cancies may be filed by candidates who
pass examinations prescribed by the Civil
Service Commission. Sooner or later this
reform will be achieved. but until II is the
disposition of patronage must continue TO
occupy share Of the Presidents time
wholly disproportionate to the importanc"
of the places 10 be filled. Incidentally. the
transfer OF these petty Offices to the ClaSsi-
