President Roosevelt has written a letter which he hopes that Rudolph Spreckels will show to Francis J. Heney. He also encloses a letter to Courtenay De Kalb, editor of the Mining and Scientific Press, regarding an editorial which he thinks is “striking.” Roosevelt hopes that Secretary of War William H. Taft will agree about the need for an “aggressive, hard-hitting war” against corruption both among business men and labor leaders.
