In the wake of President Roosevelt’s dinner with Booker T. Washington, this newspaper article criticizes a cartoon depicting Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt sharing a table with Washington. The author of the piece believes that Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt is to be respected, and that including her as a political target in this has “gone beyond all bounds and their work is not a question of politics, but a question of common decency.”
