Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John St. Loe Strachey

President Roosevelt fully approves of John St. Loe Strachey’s editorial regarding lynching, murder, and corruption in the United States and hopes that growing public opinion on the matter may have “some slight…effect against the evil.” Wishing he could write more, Roosevelt briefly discusses the harm of delegating too many powers to local, instead of central, government, along with communities’ conflicting responses and tolerances. He is currently facing a dispute with the senate on arbitration treaties.
