A ROOSEVELT LETTER.
Shown by His Attitude Toward the
Postal Frauds.

From the Review of Reviews for Novem-
ber.l
Fortunately, there are some things
about which President Roosevelt does not
think it necessary either to parley or TO
be tender and considerate; and one of
those things is common honesty. We will
take the liberty to put on record an I'M
published incident that may serve, once
for ALL to illustrate exactly the way Mr..
Roosevelt has been dealing with all cases
of similar nature one day. last month,
certain congressman visited him in the
interest of a well-known man prominent
in state politics but not in the govern
ment employ. whose relations to certain
postal contracts were such that there
seemed imminent danger of his being in
dicted for conspiracy or bribery, or both.
Not content with verbal explanation of
his attitude toward the business. Pres
dent Roosevelt followed up the interview
with letter to the congressman. For
our purposes the incident has a typical
value, as showing the Presidents state of
mind but we are not at all concerned
with the individuals. We publish this
letter, therefore, with names omitted, and
with no thought of using 1t to reflect in
any manner upon the gentleman to whom
it was addressed. or upon the man ac-
NhSth VI hlbHSuollS. II 10 a. lSilcl never
intended for the public, but rather to
make perfectly in a private way to GER
tain politicians themselves free from all
thought of completely in the postal ir-
regularities) that no further attempt must
be made to use political arguments for
the sake of affecting the Presidents CON
duct in his plain duty as the nations chief
executive officer and therefore as the
head of the business services of the gov
eminent. The letter, with names omitted.
Is as follows:

In what respect is Governor Mccullough
relieved of responsibility for the pardon
of an assassin by the circumstance that
the victim of attempted assassination
and the prosecuting officer petitioned for
the pardon? In none at all. When shall
this community look for the suppression
OF murder. assault, burglary, and the
other crimes that have been increasing
here in number, when victims and prose-
cutting officers turn about to undo the
work of the courts? Coincident with the
time when the frog which made two
jumps up and fell back three emerged
from the well. With victims, states at
torneys, juries, Governors and Legisla-
lures. ripping up the work of the courts,
is 1t surprising that crime is increasing
at rate that is appalling? The first
remedial treatment is as plain as a pike
staff Enforce the laws. turn a deaf ear
TO mawkish or mistaken sympathy or
specious pleading for pardon or the mit-
CATION of penalties.
