President Roosevelt wishes he could make an exception about the naval cadetship as Seth Low wished, but if he did he would have to make similar exceptions for many other people as well. He agrees with the final point of Low’s letter that the powers of the national government are “being steadily strengthened,” and that must be done in order to combat “lawlessness of great corporations, which has developed because of the division of power between the states and the federal government.
