Washington, Mu n it 5.—Oldest at-
tache* of the While House regard
President Wilson as tlie most method-
ical. systematic, time-saving chief ex-
ecutive within (heir memories.
From (lie very first of his admin-
istration. tlie Mexican difficulties and
tlie Enrol huh war have added iin
measurably to tin- duties of tlie
Pri'sidont. but lie lias managed 'to
maintain a strict schedule for ids

Although during his first udminjs

regular program of physical recrea-
tion necessary to conserve ids health.

dozen remained. Mr. Wilson abolish- j
ist tlie motor cycle guard which, used
to surround tlie President's ear When
lie went out on tne streets, saying
that lie wanted to go atmut just as
any other citizen.
When lie begun the custom of de-
livering ids addresses to congress in
lierson lie revived a custom which had
died wttli Washington, and Adiiljls.
No President since Jefferson had ad-
dresses] tlie senate separately on
foreign affairs as President Wilson
did on his celebrated peace note. Ilis
fondness for directness of action lias
led to the shattering of many other
precedents.
Oftentimes, when lie wants to con-
fer with a cabinet officer quickly lie
walks to Ids office. He goes to the
hank in .person to de(s»slt Ids salary,
and when he needs gin's shopping
like anyone els*'. If lie wishes to
confer with a senator, and tlie sena-
tor is spending a quiet evening at
home, tlie President goes to (lie sen-
ator's house, s Precedent always inis
decreed that the senator must come
at Hie call of tlie President.
Mr. Wilson uses thy telephone very
much on tlie theory that it shortens
conversations and keeps the. parties
to the conversation to tlie subject in-
tended.
Never has tlie President relaxed

respect and honor for tlie Idgti office

Prior to Vice President Marshall’s

It is tlie custom for tlie president, to
bring in only those who will serve in
tlie coming term.
Vico President Marshall is tlie first
vice president to suireed himself
since tlie present elective system was
adopted.
Just liefore President Wilson liegan

President Wilson to smile very broad-

to tlie isrtd wind. Many others stood
