State Capital Bureau of The Concord Daily Tribune Bir Walter Hotel Lobby Raleigh, April 21.—Lord Chamber lain, British foreign minister, once de- j dared himself the hardest working man in the wor^l. Without knowing the illustrious minister of foreign affairs, tfiis cor respondent respectfully contests that claim and nominates for the dubious honor Governor Angus Wilton Me- I,enn of North Carolina. A concise statement of hie official duties, both constitutional and statu tory, fills four printed pages, and each legislature adds to them. The 1!)25 legislature, for one example, passed the executive budget act, making the governor the director of the State's budget and imposing upon 'aim the responsibility for the balancing of the state's expenditures and receipts at the close of each fiscal year; the sal nry and wage commission act which gives the governor final responsibility for approval of classification and equalizing of the salaries of all state employees; the emergency loan act, and other fiscal measures. In ail it •multiplied his responsibilities and con sequent actual labor by five. The only relief accorded to offset this mul tiplication of duties was the authori zation of the appointment of a pardon commissioner, who investigates all pe titions for such executive clemency. Even then, final action remains vested in the governor. Through oversight, perhaps, the same legislature neglected to add' more hours to each day or more days to each week, so the governor must crowd into the same periods of time accorded by nature to private indi viduals for the transaction of their lesser duties, the work incumbent up on what must be one of the hardest jobs in the world. To make up for this oversight, the governor has been forced to draw up on what, normally, would be his leas ure time and, ever since this inaugu ration. fie has spent frgin 12 to 14 hours every day on the state's busi ness. By 8:30 every morning he is at his desk in the mansion. He remains :here, or at the desk in the executive office in the state capitol, until 1 o’clock or later. After seizing fifteen or twenty minutes for lunch, he re turns to the daily grind, usually nt the capitol. and remains at work un til 7 o’clock, dinner time. Even the after dinner flours cannot be called his own and, as a rule, it is necessary for him to give two or three of those precious hours to the work of the state, in order that there may be no undue delays in the transaction of matters of immediate importance and that the routine of the following day may not be handicapped by left-over business. Frequently, he is called out of the city, but that can hardly be called recreation or relief for usually there are .addresses to make or business matters to attend to. Even if it be one of those infrequent trips without business at the end there can be no peace of mind. The state's business waits on no man. There can be no real rest with work piling up at home in such volume that a week of double time labor will be required to catch up when he returns.

C. .IKSBSBSKIHKII THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE Iflcial duties attached to the office of governor, there are a million and one unofficial duties with which individ-1 ua'.s insist upon burdening their chief executive. One day. a mail is enough to show | that the governor is ex-officio fa:'.ier J confessor to a goodly proportion of the citizens of the state. He is head I, iof the state government, they reason, , | why shouldn't he be the one to go , to for re ief in their personal perplex ities? Promptly, and persistently, they take 'heir troubles to 'aim, in | Person or by letter or telegram. ] A woman in a far-off county ex- , periences difficulty in securing per- i mission to visit a friend in the county ; poor house. At once, she writes the i governor, confident that he will dis- ] patch by return mail and open sea same to the doors of the institution , which she claims are closed to tier. | Another woman (women are much j more confidential than men) has had | domestic troubles. She pours out , her troubles in a four-page letter to , the governor in the belief that he will use i*.ie infinite power of his high , office to bring about domestic tran quility. Each day's mail brings from one to a dozen requests for contributions to funds and campaigns of every con ceivable nnture. I'snally, the gov ernor is asked to head the list of donors with a substantial contribu tion, the purpose, either expressed or implied, being that few will be able to resist affixing their names to a list headed by the governor. If the chief executive responded to all such ap- ; peals, he could easily give away his entire year’s salary in a day's time. Scores of letters are received from convicts, lunatics and inmates of other institutions. The ruling paH siou of everyone who considers him self ill treated or discriminated against seems to be to reach the gov ernor, and many of them do. Their complaints range from the pathetic to the ludicrous. , Mothers whose boys are serving time on county chain gangs or in state penal institutions write to pro test that their sons are innocent and failed to secure fair trials in which they would have been absolved of gui.t. The judge was prejudiced, they claim time and again, or, in cases where the defendants were too poor to retain counsel, the attorneys assigned by the court to defend them were lacking in ability or refused to take enough interest in the cases to clear their impoverished clients. Mothers are the last to admit that their boys might have done wrong. By letter and ill personal visits they pour out the pent-up anguish of brok en mother-hearts before tile governor. Such eases are the hardest of all to pass upon calmly and dispassionately, so.ely upon their merits, but that is .viiat must be doue. Hundreds of anonymous informers write in to tell of law violations, us ually infractions of the prohibition law. Not only are these communica tions usually anonymous, but the in formation in almost every instance is tnkufficient as a basis for action of any kind. In the few cases where the writers kign their names, they in sist that the information they give be held strictly confidential. As if the governor hadn’t enough to do with state administration, liter ally dozens of letters are received complaining of mismanagement of county, town and municipal affairs by elective officers. The belief, in most cases, seems to be that the governor will proceed at once to the scene of the alleged trouble, promptly dis charge the officials against whom com plaints have been lodged, and put in to office an entirely new set of of ficials, undoubtedly including the com plainant. A dozen or more requests for auto graphs are received each week, most of them from persons who are col ■ecting signatures of governors of ail the forty-eight states. Letters from persons quite evi dently mentally unbalanced are not infrequent. Such letters set forth the hallucinations of the writers, con tain denouncements of everything in general and, frequently, remedies for all of the world's ills. Most of them say nothing and require a half dozen pages to say it. Each letter is read and, where pos sible, a prompt and courteous answer returned. This is impossible in a large number of cases, such as those in which the writers shield their iden tity behind a mask of anonymity. Where the matters complained of seem of sufficient moment to warrant it, the writer is invited to confer with the governor at the mansion or the executive office. Few of the letters which find their way into the file kept for oddities merit such recogni tion, however. Each person who takes hie, or her, pen in hand to write the governor about the trivial matter which seems of paramount importance to the writ er, probably considers himself the on ly person thus to approach the chief administrative officer, but taken alto gether, this class of extraordinary re quest* consumes no little of the time of the governor and his corps of as sistants. Even the reading of these mailed oddities takes many hours of some one’s time, in the course of a month or a year. Were the governor to take official cognizance ,of every request, he would have little time left for anything else. The affairs of the state of New York are not so much more complex than those of North Carolina, yet Governor A1 Smith of the Empire State has a staff of seventeen em ployees in his office, with a payroll of some $55,000 annually. North Carolina’s governor has three persons employed in the executive of fice and one at the mansion with an aggregate payroll of approximately slu,ooo. While on the war finance hoard in Washington during the war, Gover nor McLean (then merely A. W. Mc- Lean, private citizen) did the work which, previously, bad been appor tioned to three positions. He has been beard to say since bis inaugura tion as governor that his present po sition entails twice the amount of actual physical and mental labor as the three-ln-on job of war-times which made him the marvel of official Wash ington.
