President Roosevelt thanks Richard W. Knott for the editorial, and says that he believes it is essential that there be “temperate criticism when they go flagrantly wrong.” In order to avoid the injustice that is present in political platforms of people like William Randolph Hearst or Eugene V. Debs, it is important to act on the just portion that is also present.
