Theodore Roosevelt has begun the administration of the office of President in manner thoroughly characteristic of him. He has an_ individual way of looking at things and an individual way of doing them, and to him tradition and custom are of small importance, How He Interviews.
The rush of visitors who seek personal interview has been tremendous in spite of the fact that Congress is now in session. So many are they that the seating space in the available waiting rooms is continually filled, and even standing room is difficult to get. Roosevelt's method of disposing of those visitors is to admit to the inner room a number at a time, and passing rapidly from person to person or from group to group give answer in his quick decisive way. More than one who has sought by lowering his voice to assume a confidential tone has been startled by the loudness of the President's response, audible in all parts of the room.
