Celia Baldwin Whitehead critiques a recent speech by Theodore Roosevelt dedicating a park to the memory of John Brown. Roosevelt’s speech, while dedicating a park to Brown, does not mention him much, which Whitehead reflects on. She further compares Roosevelt’s handling of trusts and special interests to be similar to that of Abraham Lincoln handling the problem of slavery, and muses that, just as Lincoln ultimately came to the conclusion that the only way to control slavery was to kill it, whether Roosevelt will come to the conclusion that the only way to control trusts will be for the government to own them.
