The notes proved to sach an interest- ing revelation of the human side of the chief executive that bis part from precedent fu this sagt part from instance and allow himself to be jaoted to the American rectly. This c) part of Barten’s story, ‘the first was printed Wednesday.) (By Bruce Barton) 1926, by The Asso- ciated Press.) A patient and persistent father was waiting as the president and I left the little frame buitding that had’ been the summer office headquarters of the government. He had station- ed his ay old ase steps and instr er. just to thrust her bunch of wild flowers into the president’s land when he came out-of the door. The presi- dent took the flowers with a smile, the shutter of the father’s camera his long trip had been a Tl president held the flowers in his hand as we rode back . to the camp and put them into a vase in the living room. We had hardly settled ourselves in front of the big open fire before the White jouse collies, Rob Roy and Prudence rim, were upon us. Their four soiled feet were promptly planted in the center of the president's vest. They have no respect for the dignity of office, and he spoils them glort- ously, feeding them tid-bits at the table and encouraging them in all the tricks By eet boys, hyve found pleasure in Yogs from the beginning of ti once saw in the paj y ng a saddle’ hors Washington, id, “but I never scen any pictures of you riding him.” “It takes -too long to change your clothes,” he answered. “Did you ride when you were a (Copyrigl Ts a picture in boy? ves, All constan’ly. t “Did you play tennis, base swim in the old switees Brisk Walk Egvorite Exercise “{ played teffhis *and baseball, Around where L lived.there was old swimming hole.

Perhaps what might be desig- nated as martial and patriotic music has the greatest fascination for me. + Likes to Read Poetry “I have always liked to read poetry. My own mother was very fond of \it. She read Tennyson a great deal, and Scott. In my boyhood I found the poams of Scott very interesting and read them so much that I could re- cite long passages from them. Later 1 knew a great deal of the Langs! of Eugene Field, James Whitcomb Rile and Rudyard Kipling. My gran athe Soaktapears, which Trend ‘Ret wi much and I studied some of his works while in college, Milton always had a fascination for me, and for many years I read some of Paradise Lost each night before I went to sleep.

Work Essential to Sucess “Of course the increase -in wealth in this country has been phenomenal, ‘When I hear it said that the boys who are born into well-to-do homes are handiei d by that fact, I do . The only handicap that wealth gives to boys is in removing the necessity for hard work. Nobody accomplishes thing in this world unless he works. There is no reason why a boy who had parents who are oI support him and meet the ex- penses of education should not work, I should hate to think that for one generation to be a success was # necessary handicap on the succeeding generation. It is my opinion that if a! enreful survey were rade, it would reveal that fully as large a propor- tion of boys that come from well-to- do families: make a success as those! who have come from that were oppressed with poverty. It has ascertained that the sons of clergymen supply a rger percentage of successfal men than those who! come from any other source. Our clergy are not wealthy, but they are almost always educated and perhaps supply their sons with a better sense of values than others are able to do. those who have found their life cast amid meager surroundings are given a stimulus to overcome that handicap and better their position, while those who are reared in opulence are left with more lack of ambition, Perhaps this is a method by which nature in- sures a greater degree of equality i the condition of the human race.” Education Best erage | “Ien’t it. true,” I asked, “that the increase in wealth has tended to erect ‘a barrier between the city and the country ? “Of course the necessity always exists for a better understanding be- tween urban and rural communi hd the president answered, “and between different sections of the herds 6 Un- less this is brought about by a better acquaintunce, a sentiment of hos- tility is quite likely to develop. Each thinks the other ignorant because they do not know the same things, although each is proficient in its own sphere. They can be remedied only by educatipn. Travel and intercourse help. The automobile has~ done a great deal to remove local prejudice. Undoubtedly the moving picture and radio have been a great force in the same direction. The government un- dertakes to stimulate a wide citcula- tion of the press in order to secure an exchange of ideas and a better understanding of each other by dif- ferent parts of the country.” ‘A. good many books have been written to prove that the country boy has a better chance than the city boy,” I suggesterd. “Do you think that is true, and do you think that luck plays a considerable part in every successful career?” idom a Factor “J do not believe the country boy has any advantage over the city boy, except that he may have to work harder, and doubtless the city boy has advantages which compensate for this, As for luck, I do not think that it is much of a factor in the success of men. Ishould say that. it much urore depends upon being prepared to take advantage of luck whe along. I have never. bee think that fate was gi ge my I have rather felt that [ was obliged to look after myself. 1| have found, however, that when I was doing the right thing a great many unforeseen elements would come in and turn to my advantage.” “Here is.a question that has oc- curred to me many times,” I sai “The president obtains high office b. political preferment. through one o the great parties. But he is in- augurated as.the chief representative of all th He suaeere as ti ww is he able to lay ide this partisanship when inducted into office?” “It is not difficult,” the president replied. “The atmosphere of the White House does not lend itself to petty partisan decisions. Of course {am a thorough believer in the prin- ciples of my own political party. But to suppose that any great political party is the sole repository of all the knowledge and all the wisdom of the country would be arrogant ys It is the duty of the president to serve the whole people. A narrow and bitter partisanship is a distinct han- dicap to any person in the dischi of the functions of public office. We carry on our government under a two) pay, system. While bitterness and igotry ure to be deprecated, an en- lightened interest in, party affairs is to be commended, The only remedy for a narrow partisanship is a wider knowledge of and interest. in public affairs. We are not so much in dan- ger of misdirected party zeal in this country as we are from the indiffer- ent citizen who fails to discharge the obligations of. his citizenship at the primaries and in the final elections.

Presidents are Proken down by out- side enterprises. Traveling about the country, makine speeches, undertak- ing to furnish inspiration and leader. ship for all good causes in the land are some of them. Then again, the president ought to perform no de- tails that can be turned over to sub- ordina‘es, It is a good plan to let the members of the cabinet run their depari:ments and the heads of the other independent executive commis- sions run their departments. This {does not mean that there should not be constant conferences and exchange of views with advice and direction, but that the details should be left to others to execute.

But unsolved problems wake me up early in the morning. The more pressing they are, the carlier they wake ine. There is a great deal of consolation to be derived from knowing that you have done your best and that worrying about your problems will not help in their solution. “The presidency has its very pleas- ant aspects,” he concluded. “Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the pres dent's duties consis?s in meeting the people in the ordinary walks. of life ayth whony he comes in contact. It if by that method in my own case, and the life of my youth, that I keep: in touch with the needs and ideas of the public. There is of course a great, sense of uplift and support in the| ’ knowledge that one has behind him the confidence and friendship of the people of a great nation. Beyond that there is the inspiration of religious faith, I have always attended church regularly when I could, but, there be- ing no organized church in our town when I was a boy, I had not joined a church. After I became president, the First, Congregational church of Washington, without consultin; voted to make me a member, pleased that they took such action and, of course, accepted the election to membership which they offered me. boys joined the church at an early age and my wife had long been a member of the church. “It would be difficult for me to conceive of anyone being able to ad- minister the duties of a great office like the presidency without a belief fin the guidance of a divine provi- dence. Unless the president is sus- tained by an abiding faith in a di- vine power which is working for the vood of humanity, I cannot under- stand how he would have the courage to attempt to meet the various prob- lems that constantly pour -in upon him from all parts of the earth.” ——__—__—__—.9@ | AT THE MOVIES | ELTINGE THEATRE A fashion show.ia which more than a million dollars worth of s: were paraded before Claire Wii who plays one of the leading roles in “Souls for Sables,” suggested from “Garlan & Co.”by David Graham Phillips, is one of the big features in this production, now showing at the yg Theatre.
