Is also the guiding mind, and the
hints that he Is a mere grinning

Re forms his Ideas in the friction
of hla own mind against the minds
of others. And that la why his close
advisers are ao Important and In
fluential. They generally provide the
specific plans to fit the president's
broad purposes." '
Thus, In a real sense, the White
Houee advisers of the inner circle
are as worthy of notice aa the pres
ident himself. Because most high
public officials of the government
have limited Interests, or poor abili
ties, or unsympathetic minds, the
president has chosen private coun
selors. And being a remarkably able
aet of men, these private counselors
have virtually effected a temporary
change in the old governmental pat
tern. Since the palace politics of the
White House arc slightly oriental,
it la difficult to make an exact Hat
