President Roosevelt informs journalist Lincoln Steffens that just because he does not respond to what Steffens says about him does not mean he agrees or endorses it. He then goes on to attack Steffens’s position that while Roosevelt and Secretary of War William H. Taft attack evil, Senator Robert M. La Follette attacks the main root of evil by providing examples of work he has done.
