Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Dinwiddie

President Roosevelt criticizes William Dinwiddie for “pointing the way” to an editorial that popularizes false views. Roosevelt says that if Dinwiddie has a criticism about Franklin K. Lane he will look into it, but he will not send Lane an editorial that is based on a lie. Roosevelt says that Joseph Pulitzer’s papers combine, in publishing this editorial, “the yellowest yellow journalism with the further iniquity of low journalism.” Roosevelt maintains that wherever guilt has been proven by the government, it has been punished to the fullest extent.
