"Well, sah, Jes' toll'able, - sah, toll
able, replied the visitor," noncpmmltally.
"1 suppose thot means you got your
hat back!" laughed the president.':
- Their Treatment of Visitors.' V ;
In -nothing is Roosevelt more sharply
contrasted with the rival candidates than
lii ' treatment of the vteltor. , Preslcht
Taft and Wilson pay attention to a' cal
ler; they listen, listen patiently even to
the fool, the babbler, and - 'the bore.
Roosevelt never listened to anybody1. In
his, life. I have never witnessed anything
funnier than the vain efforts to- speak
made by men whon T. R.- hd sent : for
for . information, but who ; came" only (o
be drowned under the spout of hie voci
feration, and dismissed . without . having
had a chanoe to finish a -sentence. '
It is said that Mr., Taft; has moods In
which he allows himself to be irritated
by petty things. If thfs be true, it. Is
no more than might, bo said of a great
many men habitually occupied, with jlg
things. The little things must' be made
smooth ' for them, or . there Is ."trouble.
Wllsun still occupies himself too 'much
with little' things that' he-'coUia'.'.better
trust to others, but he' never allows
himself to be perceptibly. ,,' annoyed.
Roosevelt gets shockingly angry, with
offender or those whom' he -refardsl',as
offenders but never about petty thlnB.
Indeed, nothing Is petty ' when it hf at
tracted Mr, Roosevelt's attention: t ii
instantly a crime against high Heaven;
it Is infamous; t is treasoriable;,,the cut-.
prit , is no common mlsdemednant, h
Is a vicious 1 malefactor. ; a debaacheij
knave, a desperate demagogue,' and 'a
witless fool; he has violated .every prln
clp'e of decency; he is" a fellow marked
by .utter absence of morality, sodden tack
of conscience, low servility to greed. .'
Mr. Roosevelt mlecalls people to' tbrlr
fflcrs. He arraigns them - as" If , they
were before the Judgment seat of the Alt
mighty. I have heard him tell the man
aging editor of a newspaper "which had
printed editorials criticizing the adminis
tration policy that he . wis' an Implou.i
craven who ought to have the sense to
bellere. even if he could not understand,
that the president was art agent or Pro
Idcnce whose will It was wjeked to. 'try to
thwart and dastardly even to question.
I have heard him berate a congressman
who had signed a report "displeasing to
him in language like this:-' - .' -,-
"This is a clear ease of ".violent con
spiracy. It Is a most outrageous acf
a cowardly and outrageous act!, .Tou
have put a etaln on the flag! You have
done America a wrong which it will take
years to wipe out." And so on.
That affair came up In congress on in
Inquiry by John Sharp Williams as to
whether the pfJldent had not vlolatsd
section .6 of article I of , the constitu
tion, ? which : provides that no epreaen
tatlve of the people shall be called upon
to. 'account In any other place for his
utterahco,, In Congress a provision, Jl.r.
Williams ' said, that had been Inserted
because, it had been the habit of George
III of England to 'call to the Palace meui
bers of Parliament and berate them for
their votes. , In " response to Mr. Wil
liam inquiry, the abused member arose
and said that it was true that' "the pres
ident had Intimated that the report might
have been worded in a happier manner:"
' This Is the way in, which for years" T.
ft.' hAs been , allowed "to get away
with It". . '' ;', . ; .'. . ,
.-President. TafL. would have made fun of
(lis caller and got in a few serious, telling
words. Mr. Wilson (the ."offense" being
clearly a debatable one) would have rea
soned 4 sympathetically with the visitor
a,hd -won' him ,over. That ls-what he
did, over and over, at Trenton, with mem
berr of the legislature. They began by
opposing bitterly everything he proposed
an4 .denouncing him as a kid-glove inter,
loper who would soon be' sent about hi
business, and they "ended , by. voting
through his measures almost unanimously
and asking for more. Brief as has been
Governor Wilson' official life, there la
no record -in our politics of a leader who
has won over more of his enemies. The
man who mnd at : Baltimore ' the speech
putting him in nomination was the man
who a little more than a year before had
nominated Wilson's chief opponent for
tho New Jersey . government. The In
stance Is: merely typical.. It has been
wonderful sight at Sea Girt recently to
pee the procession 6f famous democratic
leaders from a'.l parts of the country
come along to make , their sullen submission-to
the; "new boss,'-' and to ob
serve how, after, a handshake and ten
minutes' talk, they run over each other
In cheerful haste to pass under the yoke.
."" Their Attltnde for Pohllrity.
: There Js. a consUtuUonal difference in
the way In which the three men regard
the. business of publicity. Mr. Roost
velt hss had a more vivid and constant
sense of the value of the advertising man
than any other American has ever had;
he has played to the press , mora con
tinuously and more adroitly than any
ether public man we have ever had.
Mr. Wilson appreciates the Importance
of publicity; he is hospitable to news
taper .men., alwayj accessible by them
and frank with ther.i; but he has not yet
acquired .any skill In using them. He is
stni" singularly Innocent as to. the possi
bilities of getting "good stuff ' into the
papers. It has been very hard work for
his secretaries even to get advance
copies of his speeches; - and; slno the
nomination,', dozens of "stories'' -which
Roosevelt would, have recognized as good
for "front-page dsplay"; have failed to
reaph tthe ears of , the, eager reporters.
There are as score of Uright feUows
encamped " around', the ' telegraph office
by the side of 'the .Little White House
at Sea Girt this summer, and one .of
the governor's secretaries Is especially
charged with the" duty of looking after
them;- they have easily "persuaded Mr.
Wlon ' toi give ,them a quarter of an
hour every morning and afternoon:, But
It' Is only by' tiresome watchfulness that
the;press secretary can get hold of the
striking incidents of .the busy days, and
It Is only by questions that the governor
can be brought to tell the most Important
neWs to the group ready to seize any
picturesque item and 'to ' turn It Into' a
big! story to transfix, the attention 'of
the country tomorrow morning. They are
all his admirers, but the, newspaper .boys
often yearn for Uhe good'old days . at
Oyster Bay, when the keenest , newspaper
artist v In ' the ' profession , seldom let a
day go by without handing out a "scare
head" about himself. . .,:,, : r -.
It was Interesting to , observe the' de
meanor of. the Wilsons .under, the unac
customed trials to which the reporters
and photographers are , subjecting -them.
They have faced 'more serious trials to
gether, and they submit-to "this one as
a family united In resignation:; On the
part' of the young ladie there may have
bren perhaps a, little pleasurable , excite
ment in getting into a motor car while
the motion picture 'camera looked on.
but they were all very self-conscious and
guiltily suspectful that ' they were mak
ing guys of themselves. ' T. R. always
haa one eye .on the camera brigade and
Is unhappy if It is not, on hand; he
will, postpone a gesture any time until
the last photographer gets his diaphragm,
adjusted. . ,'. ... ,. ;-.-
' Mr. Taft not only : lacks the instinct
for publicity, but he has a contempt for
It. - I have heard htm explain. ;'I don't
want any forced or manufactured senti
ment in my favor." It 'was 'In the Whita
House and a visitor was urging a' cam
paign of press education, saying r that
all the country, needed to bring it to the
president's side was a. better knowledsa '
of his ldess and his, . alms; that. Mr.
Taft had only . to open the: sluices a
little and to let 'out a few facts,' and hit
opponents would be silenced. '
"I simply can't do that sort of thing ,
the president replied. "That ls,n't ,m
method. I must waif for time and the
result of. rhy labors j to vindicate ma
naturally. .1 have a profound faith in
the'' people. Their final Judgement will
be right" '- - .. .- , y -..'-v
