President Roosevelt is ending his time as president in “stormy fashion” as everyone in Congress now feels comfortable with attacking him. The press is also on the attack and Roosevelt has started two libel suits against the worst offenders. The statements he will make tomorrow regarding the British in India are being made at the suggestion of Mr. Morley and Mr. Bryce. Roosevelt has received a beautiful Holland rifle from his English friends for use on the African safari.
