Letter from James F. Tracey to Theodore Roosevelt
Judge Tracey writes to President Roosevelt from the Philippines regarding a judicial controversy over church buildings there. The supreme court has been waiting for a fitting case that would address the issue neatly, without involving too many extraneous questions that could result in the decision being too broadly applied. There are other tensions between the church and the government, as well.
