-0car MIR. President: Acting in &C
cordance with the suggestion made by
the secretary 20 the president, ! yester
day telegraphed you my approval OF the
communication you have seen III to ad-
dress 10 me under date OF August
In doing this | proceeded on the well
warranted belief that the commenda-
lion you have SO generously accorded
to my official acts was only incidental
to the broader purpose of your admlra-
BILE letter. which is a moving appeal &c
the conscience and the patriotism. des'
tined. in my opinion. to profoundly al
feet public sentiment on vitality i'm
portant national problem. The effect
OF such an appeal from such a source
Is certain TO be salutary In its wide
spread influences. In this instance. as
in other emergencies, you have spoken
with the courage of conviction, with the
eloquence OF earnestness and under the
inspiration of the clear understanding
of and devotion TO the duties and re-
sponsibilities of American citizenship.
II feel that you have struck the key
note of national necessity when yor
say that all public men. all writer's OF
the press. all clergymen, all teachers
all who. in any way have right TO ad-
dress the people. should with every en-
ergy unite to denounce such crimes anc

chem down. and declare the correlated
doctrine that, we must show that the
law is adequate 10 deal with crime by
freeing 1t from every ves'age OF tech
nicality and delay.
Your stirring words will serve TO
press home upon the people a respon-
sibility which. reaching beyond all
those in authority. is after all essen
italy their own To arouse the real
ization Of that responsibility and all
that implies will be To entirely eradi-
cate conditions which otherwise may
soon become. as you point out so clev-
erly. an imminent menace To the very
life of the republic
