John Burroughs appreciates Theodore Roosevelt’s recent message to Congress. Ever since Burroughs read Lloyd’s “Health Against Commonwealth,” the Standard Oil Company has been a special hatred of his. Burroughs wishes that “big scoundrels” would be punished adequately and bemoans the fact that Roosevelt will not take a third term, as this would make their lives “so miserable.” Burroughs further discusses immigration and tariffs, as well as his recommendations for the Republican Party.
