George W. Pearson greatly admires President Roosevelt’s policies of “rugged honesty and efficiency” against the graft and corruption that is rampant in the government. Pearson is bothered that men seem so “lost to honor or manhood” as to try and discredit a president who is trying to perform his duties fearlessly and honestly.
