for consideration in connection with the other charges made
against Mr. Burke, and will ask for a report from him.
I
appreciate fully the difficulties of enforcing the law
in Wyoming, where we do not have as strong popular backing as
in some other States, yet we can not accept this as in any way
an excuse for Burke or any other official who has been lax in
his duties. Perhaps I can get the Attorney General to send
out some first-class man in whose judgment and integrity we
can have absolute confidence - some such man as Robb, who can
investigate the subordinates of the Department of Justice in
Wyoming on the ground and give us his judgment upon them. I
will see that, if necessary, every nerve of the Department of
Justice is strained to secure the punishment of tne land thieves
in any State. The Department of Justice has achieved such
striking results thru Knox's employment of Heney in Oregon that
if it is necessary to employ special counsel in Wyoming I will
of course do so. Equally of course, I do not wish to go to
such expense unless we will have some result from it.
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Hon. E. A. Hitchcock,
Monadnock, New Hampshire.
