Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edmund H. Hinshaw

President Roosevelt thanks Representative Hinshaw for sending him the clipping about the Hepburn railroad rate bill and says that he believes that the most important part of the bill is the “prompt application of the rate schedule” as directed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Congress has done everything that it can to ensure that the bill will not be held up by the courts in the event of an appeal. However, Roosevelt notes that there is no way to completely prevent any legislative action from being appealed to the courts.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte wishes President Roosevelt a merry Christmas, and offers his opinion about how to proceed regarding the recent sentencing of Samuel Gompers. While Roosevelt has the power to pardon Gompers, Bonaparte says that to do so would be inappropriate while an appeal is pending, and so any requests for Roosevelt to pardon Gompers at this point would be premature. Bonaparte remarks confidentially that from his current understanding of the case, the sentences imposed by Judge Daniel Thew Wright are much too severe, even though he does not hold any sympathy for Gompers’s case.
