 But what are we going to do about it? In democratic country like ours it is the privilege of every citizen to shake the Presidents hand if he can get close enough to him. In America there are literally thou sands of organizations and at one time or another they or their repre- sentatives must call on the Presi- dent. He is expected to lend a sym pathetic ear to every appeal that is made to him, whether it is to raise funds for swimming hole, pitch a ball in the opening game of the baseball season, indorse some great philanthropic movement or assure a band of uplifters that nothing would give him more pleasure than to see them reach their shining goal. In addition to this endless stream of callers there are the politicians who must have hearing and members of Congress and government off cials who have business to transact. A President who insisted on some degreee of privacy and exclusion would soon lose his popularity. MT. Harding would not have it other wise, neither would the American people, but few of his thousands of visitors and the organizations which invite him to a dozen differ ent places at once ever stop to real ize that the hardest job our Presi- dent has is just being friendly.
