"Thu President reviews the whob opinode of tho Smitiv To rebates and violation of the law. Ho leaved llttlo doubt that iu his judgment tho Santa Fo wns guilty of technical infraction of tho law, as a corporation, But tho President differentiated between the corporation nnd ltd individual olllc.ors. Ho takes the ground that, whatever tho ofllcors of tho railway did, they did iu pursuance of a system at that) time in vogue and because they could not well help themselves. What the government wauts to do is to break up tho system, to correct tho methods of corporations. It does not wish to perse cute individuals who wera themselves vietinw of the system." When tho President opines to speak of I'uul Morton as a man, the letter is cliaraeterUtieally "ltoosevoltion."

Tho Prtvsidont says it was Mr. Morton's advoeaoy of roforni in railroad methods that first attracted his attention to that gentleman, and, that instead of prosecution, Mr. Mon tonus outiUed to commendation for what ho has done. The President Inti mates that it would be the height of in justice to hale Mr. Morton before the eourts fer a teehnieal violation of the law byfa eorpomtion with which he wa eoHeto.l and for which he might iwsdbly bo held tetttNieally responsi ble.
