President Roosevelt agrees with Major John Pitcher, Acting Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, that he should not let John B. Goff or anyone else take hunting parties into the park. Roosevelt feels that Goff is a good forest ranger and friend of conservation, but does not want Pitcher to do any special favors because of that. He will back Pitcher up, regardless of his decision.
