COURTESY OF THE WEST
Washington, D. C.—Western courtesy, according to one of the intimates of the President, is now ranked in his mind as being co-equal with Western hospitality. South Dakota, his summer habitat, has as many political factional rows as the average Central and Western state. In many cases, these political feuds are even a little sharper than those east of the Mississippi.
During his stay, the President met leaders and members of all groups, and what was a matter of fine satisfaction to him, because he interpreted it as a tribute to his office, was that the rival leaders, not only declared but maintained a political moratorium during his stay, so at one and the same time he was able to have these various leaders break bread with him without fear of embarrassment.
The President was also touched by the fact that while access to him was extraordinarily easy, that in no single instance was this liberty construed as license. There were job hunters and favor seekers, but they never broached their missions. The "open door" was never abused. These people of themselves had fine appreciation of the dignities and lived up to them magnificently.
