Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Means Thompson
President Roosevelt informs Colonel Thompson that he does not need to see the November number of The Navy to express his opinion that the publication has done more harm than good. While they need criticism, it is worthless if it is malicious, untruthful, or foolish, thereby damaging the Navy’s public reputation. Roosevelt wants Thompson’s views of the Channel Fleet. Regarding Japan, the United States’ assurance of friendship is all that is needed.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott
President Roosevelt does not feel that it would be wise to publish Assistant Attorney General Charles Henry Robb’s report yet, both because Roosevelt is still personally investigating some issues relating to the case in Idaho, and because he does not feel it is wise to participate publicly in the matter at this time. He acknowledges that Abbott is likely right concerning whether to print Philip Battell Stewart’s letter, but suggests that the circumstances surrounding the situation may be extraordinary enough to permit it.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyman Abbott
President Roosevelt emphasizes that he wrote to Lyman Abbott because he trusts the Outlook more than other periodicals, listing a number of other problems and biases he sees in other prominent periodicals. Roosevelt thinks they should make it clear that “we war on the evil of human nature, whether shown in the labor man or the capitalist,” and illustrates this statement by describing how he is fighting both against capitalist organizations in enforcing government inspection of meat packing plants, as well as fighting labor unions in his prosecution of Charles H. Moyer and Big Bill Haywood, who have been accused of the assassination of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg of Idaho. Both sides, in their respective cases, claim to want justice while working to prevent it.
