Everybody’s Magazine prints a story by Emerson Hough depicting a conversation between two men, one of whom laments the fact that President Roosevelt is leaving the presidency just at the point at which he is beginning to challenge banks and trusts and take back the American government for the average citizen. The other man seems to secretly be Roosevelt, and, hearing the man’s wishes that he would continue the fight, appears convinced to return to Washington to work on behalf of the common person. A handwritten note says that the President will value “most all” of the piece.
