Charles Fletcher Lummis reflects on several topics in his column, “In the lion’s den.” Fletcher suggests that yellow journalism played a role in William McKinley’s assassination and praises the American people’s reaction to the assassination. Lummis is also thankful that President Roosevelt was there to lead the country after the tragedy. He concludes by suggesting American intervention in the South African War and thanking his readers for aiding the Mission Indians of Southern California.
