Ernest Hamlin Abbott informs President Roosevelt that The Outlook contains an editorial paragraph on the Brownsville incident based on Roosevelt’s message and Senator Joseph Benson Foraker’s bill in the senate. Apart from noting the ineffectiveness of Foraker’s bill, The Outlook does not discuss the bill at length. Abbott has noticed that the current situation is frequently misrepresented in spite of Roosevelt’s statement of fact in his message, but observes that this frequently pushes public opinion in favor of Roosevelt.
