Milton B. Goodkind writes that he was skeptical about Theodore Roosevelt being president following the 1904 election due to his belief that Roosevelt’s anti-trust program would rebound and impact the lives of the common people. Now that this has happened, the people who are most affected blame Roosevelt for the economic conditions they are suffering. Goodkind suggests that the reforms that Roosevelt has been instituting need to happen sooner or later, but that by insisting they happen now, the public may take their anger out on Roosevelt instead of the trusts, at whom their wrath and indignation should be directed.
