Theodore Roosevelt has not ben heard
co complain that the presidency of the
United States la net sufficiently strenuous.
He knows now that while he may we
out he wlU not rust out in that position.
The White House Is' no place for the ad
vocate of an eight-hour day, for ha would
have to shatter that theory dally.
Eight year adds to the responsibilities
and 'duties of the presidency, and makes
its burdens bear "harder. If a president
is to live out his term, he must cultivate
an even temper and the habit of throw
tug off anxieties. Even President Mc
Klnley, whose calm disposition and pa
tience were remarkable, was almost worn
out by his onerous duties. A strong con
stitution is as requisite for a president
as mental brilliancy, broad experience or
great wisdom.
While President Roosevelt la of nervous
temperament and uses a great deal of
energy In seemingly unnecessary fashion,
he has the fortunate ability of finishing a
piece of work and dl missing it for all
time. He does, not permit himself to
worry afterward for fear some course or
other than 'that taken would have been
Wiser. He reaches a conclusion, acts upon
It, and la then satisfied that he has done
what Is best. This la a saving grace
which enables htm to turn his attention
Immediately to some other subject with
unwearied energy and perfect mental
clearness.
Meeting; Questions mm They Come.
Procrastination is not one of the pres
ident's fault. He does not allow difficult
problems to encumber his desk unneces
sarily. He takes eaojb up without delay,
studies It In aU details, advises with the
cabinet officer, senator or representative
wfTo is best Informed on the subject, and
then acts promptly and positively. He Is,
thus, free from the harassment of ques-,
tions postponed and ia prepared to meet
new difficulties readily and eagerly.
Those who have business with the pres
ident are constantly surprised at the
rapidity with which he reaches a de
cision. They are sometimes inclined to
think he has acted upon impulse, or
Jumped at a conclusion, when he has
really . studied the subject with care and
perhaps for months. But his brain works
with such exceptional rapidity that he
seems to give less thought to a proposi
tion than he aotually does. He ataes his
decision with all the posltlveness of con
viction, but is always open to correction
when in error, and has no stubborn pride
to prevent him from altering a deter
mination when cogent reasons ars pre
sented. This readiness to consult with
others, and this openness to conviction,
strengthen him greatly as an executive.
For one whose early training was not
for executive work, President Roosevelt
has acquired the habit of orderly pro
cedure to a large degree. When he first
went to the White House he would often
deal directly with' subordinate officials,
particularly If he had known them before,
instead ' of through the 'heads of depart
ments. But he soon learned that this
led to confusion, delay and friction. Now
he acts almost exclusively through the
departmental heads, and Insists rigidly
that every executive matter that Is
brought to hla attention shall first be sub
mitted to the ' proper department. This
has ' lessened his troubles and conserved
departmental discipline.
The Dally Raand. i
President Roosevelt usually rises at (
and gets to his office by :90. He is then
busj with, his secretary, Mr. Loeb. or with
a stenographer, until 10, when he receives
callers who have made previous engage
ments. His morning, except en Tuesdays
and Fridays, which are the regular days
lor cabinet meetings, Is ocoupied with vis
itors until 1:30 or 1:45, when he goes te
lunch. Then he often has aa hla guest
some man of national prominence with
whom he discusses questions of state. Mr.
Roosevelt is one of the most accessible of
residents, and sees, on business ef Im
portance, an average of at least forty
people a day. In addition are the vt.i.

In the afternoon the president la in his
office from J:45 until J. Then, too, he sees
those who have Important matters te dis

press, who are anxious to be set right on
some matter prominent In the publlo eye
He Is appreciative of the advantage of hav
ing his plans set before the people oor

he sees Tie talks en publlo questions, and
sometimes concerning our foreign relations
with a freedom and frankness that are all
most surprising. But his confidence la
never betrayed and hla Ideas are often dis

the newspaper dispatches. This offset hos

He is soon tempted to think that every

It were not for his enthusiastic and, hopeful
view of life he would be threatened with a
severe attack of pessimism. It Is no more
possible for film te give a satisfactory
reply In every case- than It is to comply
with every request. One wonders when he
has time for reflection, or what opportunity
there is for rest from the cares of office.
But the tide of callers never lessens, and
the subjects that are brought to his atten

The president Is of necessity; Impressed
with his power,' but at the same time, as
he Is earnest and conscientious, he is
weighted down with his heavy responsi
bilities which he can never cast off. The
problems before him are vital to the na
ttonal welfare, often Involving the friend
ship of another nation. Frequently they
require a prompt decision on a point for
which there Is no precedent. Every execu

uses patronage te his party's advantage,
but he haa never either stultified himself
by knowingly appointing the corrupt or In

to remain in the government service. When

President Roosevelt makes few changes
in his dictations after they have been

that amplify and strengthen his state

original dictation, because he Is most care

Instead of for those that are more elabo

not dictate rapidly, because he is deliberate
and when dictating frequently paces the
