of these qualities is limited. No president has ever been able to meet more than a small faction of the re- quests, and they are growing each term as there are more people to serve.
 Thus, when the president agrees socially to be honorable president O. some organization which appeals to some hobby of his, he risks exposing himself to a deluge of invitations to join organizations he never heard of before. Such organizations are well aware that the president. could not mingle with them at their Tuesday meetings. They fully appreciate the many demands on his time. But they do think he could lend his name and drop in on state occasions, and if he refuses, however politely, there is sometimes resentment.
 Is There a Remedy? There have been bills in congress for the relief of every other sort of government ward, but the president has never had any assistance offered him in this difficulty. He has his secretaries and aides. Many of them however are political appointees and are as new to the business of their | chief.
 | It is suggested that a special secre- tary might help matters somewhat He would have to stick close to the president on all occasions, something like the royal tasters at the tables of the old European kings. who protect ed the monarchs from poison. and his | life would be worth about as much as theirs. His duties would be to cast | the deciding vote in a tie as to whether the president should spend { the evening at a musical comedy or
 adorn a benefit ball for Chinese ba- bies.
 The value of this attache would obviously increase with his years of
 service, which means that he would have to be a permanent fixture in the presidential menage. This is admit tedly serious obstacle. There have
 been White House employees whc
 spent years ofyFervice there. but not
 in such positions of confidential as sociation with the executive.
 The only suggestion so far put for
 ward Is that this attache would have to be man of unbiased mind so fal
 as political parties are concerned | Where this superman is to be caugh
 is not clear. Perhaps the best plar
 would be to pick a candidate out of z
 school somewhere and bring him LII
 in the White House atmosphere While he was growing a beard anC 
 wrinkles, congress would have time tt talk over creating an office for him
 Later. understudies could b. trained. and with an efficiency eX pert a presidents odd jobs could b. reduced almost to formula. A re quest from the town of Cobbles Cor ners asking the president to speak a
 the dedication of a fountain in tn public square. when he made his nex
 trip west, would be referred to tn efficiency expert. He would consul
 the files on fountains and see wha
 happened in instances when difteren
 presidents officiated at the unveilini
 of fountains.
 It would undoubtedly take time t p develop this system, but in the lon F run it would seem worth while, if s did, as the inventors claim it would f leave the president some time t Q work play and sleep.

To the Editor.
 The Republican of February 13. contained a communication from NIT. c. A. Dagley under the caption "The Control of the Packers" in which 1t is said that. "The packers have spent millions of dollars through advertis- ing to cloud the issue"
 We do not believe we can fairly accused of attempting to cloud any issue through public advertising. We have been engaged in extensive cd ucational advertising for the sole purpose of trying to acquaint the public with the real facts about our business. The Federal Trade commis- sion grossly misrepresented this in- dustry, stirred up popular prejudice against us, and refused to allow us 10 present our side of the case when we could have disproved the very contentious which the commission was trying to establish. With all the other avenues closed by which we might have presented our case to the public an dcounteracted the misinfor- nation that was be1ng spread We were really forced to present the facts about our business to the public through the medium of newspaper and magazine advertising.

FOSTERING THE PRESIDENT

Everything they do becomes prece- dent To take an instance from Mrs. Harding's experience, a request came before inauguration for a small do- nation to be sold at fair:
 A Flood of Requests
 "Don't do it." said friend.
 "Oh, I am glad to help said Mrs Harding.
 The week after, she saw what the friend meant Her mail brought over 5000 requests for small donations which could be sold or auctioned off at big prices, as coming from the president elects wife. One handker- chief, such as she had sent the first time, meant one dollar. Three thou sand handkerchiefs, all for worthy enough causes, would mean $3,000, not counting the wages of some one to buy the gifts, some one to wrap and address them and the cost of post age. You caG figure for your.elf that this Is more than the president S weekly salary, and Mrs. Harding s pin money certainly could not cover such incidentals.
 The trouble is that all the activi- ties of a White House family are given publicity. To send a donation | to charity affair and request that no mention be made of the source would be to rob the gift of its at | tractVeneSS. The aSSOclauOn WILL | the White House is what the people | want in such cases.
 So the president and his wife have to pick and choose. It is hardest al 1 first because the novelty of a new | executive attracts an unusually large number of people with the "gimmies. | If the president is cautious in the ! first weeks, he is not worried so mucf l Ia ter though there is scarcely a day 1 when he does not receive an impos- | ing collection of requests for gifts 1 autographs, invitations, photographs l and so on.

LASTING NEED
Must Build Better-Flimsy Highways Are Waste of
Money and 10 Not Serve Pubic-A National
issue of the Hour
BY Sloane Gordon.

| misunderstood. The future is re.
yealsd in the history of the past.
F Everything points to increasingly
|. powerful and capacious motor We.
hicles of various kinds, used in
greater and still greater numbers,
and such transportation will depend
iupon and necessitate roads solid
enough and scientifically sound
enough to bear the strain to which
such traffic will subject them. The
larger units will drive the smaller
before them, on the public roads as
they have done the same thing on
the steam railways, the trolley lines,
the rivers, the seas, and even the
canals.
Since all this is clearly FORE
I! shadowed and Is plainly near at
, hand, the only escape from ruinous
expense, in struggling with the road
problems of a country which labors
under serious climatic difficulties in
its sections of greatest population
and heaviest traffic, is to prepare as
rapidly as possible for the coming
era of wonderful motor truck trans
portation by building roads which
can stand up under the loads they
must carry, and do 1t year after
year, for long periods.
| That is to say, the road-building Of
Ithis rich and progressive but some.
times wasteful and careless nation
will have to be done with more
scientific pains and greater eff
/ cheney. The mere pouring out of
money will not avail much IL the
laundering which has marked much
highway construction work Is to con-
tinue to discourage taxpayers and
bring heavy motor trucks and traffic

The Importance OF this problem of
government and economics is not
yet fully understood, but It 10 grow.
ing clearer. day by day, as the use
and enjoyment of good roads, even
good in the superficial and painfully
temporary sense, makes converts
and wins the favor of the public
that pays the bills.
There Is opposition, of course, as
there always has been in human
progress. Inertia has to be over
come. Prejudices must be fought
down. Selfish and narrow interests

flung out of the path of the railroad,

We must get more years even

out in all serious consideration, of
the great question of road building
and road maintenance in the United
States, is that the country cannot
stand still. There must be enduring
progress or there will be loss OF
ground already gained.
For the people will not endure the
burden of paying for the construc-
tion of costly highways, only tossee
them go to pieces in a year or two.
The waste Is intolerable, the cost
too heavy to be borne. The i'm
proved roads must last longer. or
they will not be kept up at all.
To put the problem that way is to
show that road building must be bet
ter done and road maintenance must
be more careful and more intelli-
gent. America cannot sink back
into the mire of highways which had
mo bottom in the winter and no top
in the summer" That period is past.
We must go ahead, as a people. in
the construction, use and enjoyment
of good roads. Public sentiment de-
sires the progress which economic
needs demand. ~f
The movement toward heavier
and larger vehicles, on improved
roads, is in harmony with the. prog
ress of the age. 1t marches with
the times Similar changes are
steadily going on in transportation
by sea and on inland waterways.
They have been marking and hasten
ing the development OF American
railroads. They characterized, the
growth of the interurban trolley
lines, until they ran into the hard
and almost paralyzng conditions
which were partly the result of the
war and partly the fruit OF unsound
early financing and inadequate con.
struction and equipment, from the
beginning.
In the last century, enormous
changes in steamships have made
the first little vessels moved by
turning water into steam seem like
quaint toys. The earliest locomo-
tives are equally futile and insignifi
cant by comparison with modern en-
gines on railroads of the first class
The first cars drawn by horses were
slow and puny things by contrast
American cities now.
Great piers and deep channels and
ports had to come into existence tC
meet the demands of big steamships
New York rebuilt the Erie canal to
answer the call for larger units in
transportation, just as the national
government has built series oI
locks at Sault Ste. Marie, every one
bigger than the one before it, to
open Lake Superior, with its iror
ore. Its grain and It's copper, to great
steamships which are marvels o
economy In transportation.
These forward steps in the equip
ment Of the country and the civilized
world for modern commerce turn
searchlight upon the future of the
highways of the United States ant
the traffic they are destined to carry
