the truth be told, with great deal of concern. Then the communities tions began to multiply. It seemed as though someone had started an endless chain to the White Hous-, each writer pledging himself to get three more writer's to join the chorus of praise or protest as to this or that phase of the administration policy or lack of policy.
 The regular telegraph room and operators in the executive office of the White House long ago were swamped and telegrams for the President began to come by way of the main offices of the two teie- graph companies. Ordinarily a president never sees the black and yellow or white and blue blanks of the common or garden telegram. The messages which reach him or dinarily are copied on linen bond with White House" printed at the top of the sheet However, Tn the rush of the last fortnight, messages of every hue and description have reached the executive desk.
 On some mornings 1t Is declared that a. pile of telegrams more than a foot high have been placed be- fore the President. For while MT. Harding looked at them and at tempted to read them more in sor- row than in anguish As time has gone on, however, the messages have become more and more im- pefious in tone and at last the President has become resentful. It is perfectly apparent that some of he communications are sent with ,& desire rather to embarras5 than to help.
 &Most of the authors of the 'etters $nd telegrams seem to have taken H for granted that the President Gbld settle e-the strikes at any time U he only would.
 Becomes Resentfu1
 MT. Harding has been conscious of this state of mind on the part of so many of the people and that cdnsciousness accounts for the fact that on many occasions recently he has made 1t plain to callers and c1nsultants that the executive really has no power at all to compel the striking shopmen and the railway eIecutives to get together. The Pkesident has let it be known rather piainy that he resents the idea that h.s could long ago have settled the fssrikes if he had exercised the va r1OuS powers inherent III thS SAoSu- = tlve.
 The letters and tefegrams re- ceived at the White House, particu- ularly the letters, reflect the fact that the American people, despite their love of democracy as prin- ciple, are coming Now more and more to look to the President to ex- ercise a veritable autt cratic power in dealing with all mi tiers affecting the public welfare al well as in the direction of government and public affairs. The public as whole is showing a reluctance to going back to normalcy which means divided responsibility between the execu- tive and legislative branches of the government. The letters received at the White House bluntly have de- manded that the President put Con gress as well as the warning indus trial factions in their respective places and keep them there.
 The President has discussed the matter frankly with number of his congressional friends. but oddly
