Europe likes Roosevelt
George Brinton McClellan Harvey, editor of Harper’s Weekly, offers a tongue-in-cheek report on the reasons for President Roosevelt’s “universal popularity” in Europe. German Emperor William II would like to see Roosevelt serve a second elected term, as it would indicate that autocracy is still popular, provided the leader is charismatic and benevolent. England and France view the “staggering blow” dealt to the American railroad industry by Roosevelt with glee. European powers are happy to take advantage of the opportunities presented by American politics.
