William Bayard Hale was a controversial American journalist who spent a week at Teddy Roosevelt's White House. In this sympathetic but fascinating look at Theodore Roosevelt at work, we hear him speak on matters great and small in his own words. Hale describes a typical White House day demonstrating the demands on the president's time and energies. We read Roosevelt talking about Lincoln and Washington. Roosevelt even holds forth on Roosevelt, acknowledging his love of the the most powerful office in the land. This slim volume is a must read for anyone interested in Roosevelt.

William Bayard Hale was born on April 6, 1869, in Richmond, Indiana, United States. He was the son of William Hadley and Anna (Bunting) Hale and claimed relationship with the Hales most famous in American history.
With an engaging presence and a promising forensic talent, William was educated for the ministry after studying at Boston University and Harvard.
On ordination in 1893 William Hale was assigned as mission priest to the Church of Our Saviour, Middleboro, Massachusetts. He attracted attention early in his career as the author of An Address in Memory of the Reverend Phillips Brooks, D. D. (1893), and as the contributor of radical magazine articles to the Arena and was called to speak in different cities. He went in for university-extension work, accountable for his address on “The Making of the American Constitution, ” delivered before the summer meeting of university students at Oxford in 1895, and in 1897 he published The New Obedience.
In 1899 Hale became rector of St. Mary’s at Ardmore, Pennsylvania, giving in the same year six lectures on “Great Novelists” for the American Society for the Extension of University Teaching. In 1900 he stumped the West for Bryan. Meanwhile parish preaching and family difficulties were grinding on the handsome young rector’s high-strung temperament. Feeling need of change, he turned to journalism and in quick succession occupied positions with the Cosmopolitan, Current Literature, and the World, became managing editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger for four years, and then served the Times in New York and as its Paris correspondent. But he did not divest himself of clerical orders until 1909 when he joined the staff of the World’s Work. While on the Times, Hale spent a week at Roosevelt’s elbow in the White House describing graphically the presidential routine in feature stories, assembled in book form in 1908 under the title A Week in the White House with Theodore Roosevelt.
His next exploit was an interview with Kaiser Wilhelm, sold to the Century for $1, 000, but suppressed. For nearly two hours the Kaiser walked the deck of the Holtensollern at Bergen with Hale, talking freely “about things American. ”
The Century's advance advertisement, on the heels of the same ruler’s trouble-breeding London interview, precipitated its withdrawal, “at the request of the author, ” though the sheets were ready for binding. The whole edition was bought up, taken on a warship into the mid-Atlantic, and burned by German naval officers. During the War, a proof of this “highly indiscreet” statement, said to have been confided to the Harvard University library, disappeared, but the New York Tribune broadcast excerpts from a copy held out by an employee of the magazine.
Through his association with Walter Hines Page on the World's Work, Hale was called upon to prepare an intimate biography of Woodrow Wilson for serial publication. As Woodrow Wilson: The Story of his Life (1912) it won warm approval and acceptance as the official campaign biography. Hale liked to refer to himself as Wilson’s biographer. The volume of Wilson’s characteristic political addresses, entitled The New Freedom (1914), compiled and edited by Hale, includes an introduction by Wilson crediting the work to him in laudatory terms.
The selection of Hale to go to Mexico as President Wilson’s confidential agent, therefore, was not so wrapped in mystery as it seemed. His report, following a three months’ sojourn, undoubtedly determined the refusal to recognize Huerta. Subsequently he visited the revolutionists in Northern Mexico and conferred with Carranza, after which the embargo on arms, which had placed them at disadvantage, was lifted. But by May 1914 Hale was no longer connected with the government, and the ardent attachment between him and the President had cooled, to change in time to open enmity. Hale’s final blast of embitterment, The Story of a Style (1920), written, as the author explains, in 1919 but held back on account of the President’s illness till the physicians reported recovery, and then published with slight revision “in the direction of restraint, ” acridly belittled and ridiculed Wilson’s literary ability.
Hale’s sorry day began with his retention as adviser for the German propaganda in this country, organized by Dr. Dernburg, at a salary of $15, 000 a year to be paid him direct from Berlin. This employment was prompted, so it is averred, by a mistaken belief that he held the key to the back door of the White House. In his new capacity, he fulminated numerous special pleas for Germany and arguments against British activities on the seas, often masked behind deceptive names, and headed a movement to stop all export of munitions.
Charged with writing the Dernburg speech justifying the sinking of the Lusitania, he insisted that he had merely edited it. This brought widespread denunciation upon him. Before the entrance of the United States into the War, Hale’s service was transferred to the Hearst papers, at first as correspondent at Berlin, and later as a staff man in New York.
In 1918, intercepted Bernstorff cables exposed his previous relations with the Germans. Pilloried by pitiless publicity, the storm broke upon him afresh. Clubs expelled him. Magazines and publishing houses closed to him. Biographical handbooks expunged his name. He had no recourse but to seek cover and for the rest of his life he remained in comparative seclusion, writing little, though his publication attacking Wilson’s style was to have been part of a larger work. He died in Munich.
