President Roosevelt sympathizes with Charles Stedman Hanks, and gives examples where illustrations of animals in books did not match the animals described in the text. Roosevelt remarks that, regarding the “Tillman incident,” he must meet with many people, and it is impossible for him to prevent some number of them from lying about him. Roosevelt feels that the railroad rate bill is in a good place, but is wary of what may happen to it.
