Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Elihu Root

President Roosevelt sends Secretary of State Root an article from the London Times, and wonders if the United States should intervene in Venezuela if it does not pay its debts, as decided by the International Peace Conference at the Hague. Roosevelt says he supposes they should decline to meet with the Korean mission if they come to the United States. In a postscript, Roosevelt encloses a copy of the Tokyo Puck, lamenting its sensationalism. Secretary of War William H. Taft is planning a trip to the Philippines, and Roosevelt asks Root’s thoughts on Taft stopping in Siberia or Japan on the way.

Letter from John J. Fox to Theodore Roosevelt

John J. Fox belatedly responds to the Country Life Commission’s investigation on how to make the farmer’s life more attractive. He argues that the government’s actions through the Post Office make magazines, the “chief recreation,” prohibitive in price. Many farmers suspect that the increased rates on periodicals and other literature are corporate schemes to decrease the rural “political horizon.” Fox believes that many in the agricultural sector will vote Democratic in the general election if the Republican Party does not carry out its pledged policies and resolve the issues with the postal service. He hopes Theodore Roosevelt can help in some way.
