Garland, Hamlin, 1860-1940

President Roosevelt thinks Hamlin Garland is performing a valuable service by agitating for a national park in Western Colorado, and will back it however he can. He is sorry if Paul Morton’s former place in his cabinet hurts his administration, but not because of anything Morton did–rather because of how people can be foolish and misled. Morton was one of Roosevelt’s best cabinet officers as Secretary of the Navy. Roosevelt also responds to criticism of Secretary of State Elihu Root’s career as a corporation lawyer, saying that that is the biggest business for lawyers, and that what matters is that they act properly and honorably as such. Former Attorney General and current Senator Philander C. Knox was also a corporation lawyer.
