President Roosevelt is pleased with developments in the Philippines and views the people controlling their church as a major accomplishment. Roosevelt is increasingly opposed by the “biggest capitalists in New York” but everyone eventually learns that he will “administer the law without fear or favor” and attempt to give justice to everyone. In the future, Roosevelt will continue to act just as he did in the past.
