THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY.
He Must Be q Diplomat. and His POSI-

The duties of secretary TO a presi

sidered at all secondary In importance
to those of cabinet officer. He Is the
man who first meets the thousands OF
visitors to the president He must know
Just whom the president desires to see
or should see without bothering the
president These visitors come from
all parts of the United States on all
sorts of missions. some important, but
mostly of very trivial character. and
they come bringing all sorts OF letters
of introduction from all sorts Of people,
Were the president to see all these
folks he would not have time for any
thing else, and the secretary must win
now the wheat from the chan and
send the char away actually delighted
because they haven't seen the presi-

house of representatives with myriad
axes to grind He must be diplomat

world when they call at the White

dent Indeed, IT has been often said In
Washington that the presidents secre-
tary must be as much Of diplomat as
any member of the diplomatic corps II
be IS to be OF substantial value to his
chief.
Again. the secretary must have rela'
lions with the hundreds OF correspond
ents who represent the great newspa-
pers OF the country. Public opinion is
nodded by these correspondents. and
they are keenly affirmative in their
characteristics. In their ambition TO
serve their newspapers they always
know exactly why they visit the White
House Frequently matters are not
exactly ripe, and IL is one duty OF the
presidents secretary to parry the Incl
sive and probing questions OF these
alert correspondents. This must be
done smilingly and in good form.
Then. too. invariably the presidents
secretary accompanies his chief on
trips through the country. Hundreds
OF details come up on these tours Of
which the president Is not expected TO
know, but Il Is the absolute duty OF his
secretary to be familiar with them
