Newspaper men who call at the
White House offices at the regulation
hour OF 10 a. III. find generally that
Mr. Harding has been "at it, an hour
before their arrival. Nobody knows
how long this will keep up. It is q
hard rule that never is broken. The
wonder is how George r. Christian.
the amiable secretary to the Presl-
dent, likes the early hours. 1t is an
uuwritten law that the secretary to Il
president shall get down to the brass
tackS of work before his chief. Mr..
Christian doubtless is grateful that
his Marion fellow townsman does not
obey the eight o'clock whistle.
1t was only a few days ago that an
invitation reached the President to

the licking which we understand was
administered by one of his cabinet
members, who is better golfer than
his chief, and return to the White
House nearly three hours before Mrs
Harding called him TO lunch
How About Cabinet?
word OF inquiry has been writtcr
as To the manner in which Secretary
Christians regards the peep o. day
habits of his chief, but perhaps an
even more pertinent question is as 10
how the cabinet members look ON the
s'n-,p rising OF their great ana good
ciicflain.
II Is said that Herbert Hoover likes
early hour procedure. Hoover Is fair
Is young. and the llC-abcd habit there
fore. has not had time to grip him
VIII II. Hays, the Postmaster Cen
eral. Is SIN younger, and as for Hays,
he never sleeps. These twain arrive
at the White House on the mornings
that they so there at an hour that is
nothing less than astounding for its
"previousness." This is all very we'll
from the viewpoint Of the welfare OF
the great American republic, for early
hours generally mean long hours in
this town, and II every hour is full
of work as the first hours of the day
seem TO be, things ought to 20 ahead
flOurishingly.
The only plant in the case comes
from the newspaper men. who have
been accustomed to the somewhat lat
er hours Of the administration which
just closed, and who were accustomed
TO what might be called the Ieisurelv
hours Of the Taft administration
Even Mr.. Taft's friends admitted that
he was a leisurely gentleman.
SO far as the clerical force at the
White House IS concerned, things are
as they always were. The hours Of
the government tOllers are fixed with
out regard to the predictions for
the early or late risings unto their
tasks Of Presidents Of the United
States, or Of cabinet officers SO nine
o'clock found the clerical force busy
In other years as II finds them busy
in this year
Worries Correspondents
All that is left for the newspaper
man 10 do is TO take that bit Of adj
vice which was given way back i'm
the scriptural days, "Go to the ant.
thou sluggard; consider her ways and
be wise" II IS not exactly proper
to make II appear even distantly that
the President OF the United states is
nm ant. but so far as work is CON
cerTed he seems to be much like one.
President Harding has told the
newspaper men through his secretary
that he VIII see them once week
that IS he Will see each batch Of
them once a week The men repre-
senting the morning newspapers Will
be received by the President for the
quizzing process I'm the afternoon. The
hour nt which the afternoon uewspn
per rneE nre to be received has not
vet been set but the strong hope I'm
the breasts OF the afternoon mon ifs
that the President viii not summon
them with the milk man.
There is no telling 10 what lengths
the enrly morning habits of the White
House may 90 Even afternoon news
paper men have their scrsibilitics and
some few of them need an hour or
two for sleep.
