Keeping Open House

|
Europe with a more tolerant attitude
toward the men associated with him in gov
ernmental enterprises cannot longer be
doubted. 1t is said by his enemies that he
has come back "chastened" by his experiences
abroad. That perhaps is too strong a term
to apply to him, but it is nevertheless true
that he has undergone a certain mental
change and he is now more inclined toward
cooperation with Congress than he has been
at any time since his first administration be-
gan.
1t is not unfair to the President to say that
Tor five years of his tenure in Office he gave
the country reason to believe that he felt a
degree OF intellectual contempt for the men
who compose the membership of the House
AMI Senate. He conferred with the congress
slonal leaders only when he had something
10 demand of them. He never permitted
them to attain personal footing with him.
There was not the least official intimacy be-
tween him and the men who egislated in
the name of 100000 American people.
10 what extent this was a fault it Is difficult
to Indicate Many Presidents have lost their
influence through too close a relationship
with the legislative branch. Many have
stopped to cheap patronage bargaining in
carrying out their programs Many have al
lowed themselves to be drawn into unfayor-
able situations by accommodating the Job
hunters. All this is we'll known to the coun-
to the President himself
AL the very outset he let it be understood
mat ne meant to occupy a detached position
To>that end he let members of the House and
Senate know that he would not make engage
ments with them to talk over patronage I'M
less he himself proposed the interview. This
produced a bad impression in Congress- par
ucularly in the Senate, which shares with
the President responsibility for all appoint
ments. But this impression did not last. 1t
passed, and passed primarily because the
President changed his mind and gave inter-
views freely to those legislators who had
right TO confer with him patronage or any
other question Of common interest.
President Wilson never wholly changed
his forbidding attitude toward Senators and
representatives until he went to EuroDe
Since his return pronounced change has
taken place. This was first heralded In the
opening address Of the President to the Sem
ate' when he placed himself at the disposal
OF that body on all questions affecting the
treat! OF peace. Since then he has announced
that the White House will be open to all off,
cial corners; that he will be delighted to re-
celve and to talk with any Senator or Ken
resentative on any subject that might mn
tually involve both the legislator and the
executive.
All this is interesting 10 the country as in
dicatfve of the newer mental processes of the
PRESIDENT 1t is not to be assumed that he
Is engaging in this sort of thing merely TO
gam a political end. The better guess is
mat he has had six months intimate assoc
clation with his official and intellectual ne, =
ana he has come home with the realization
that the best way to deal with any man IS
to meet him as an equal
