President Roosevelt tells William D. Miles that he will try again to find him a government position, but he reminds Miles that he never said he would not allow him to suffer because of his testimony. Roosevelt has already taken up the matter with the Department of Agriculture, but government positions pay less than jobs in private enterprises, so he may not be able to find something that Miles will take.
