The bully of the year

              Following the assassination of President McKinley, the vice president has taken the job. Theodore Roosevelt is the new president of our nation. This rough riding president from the Spanish American War is now the youngest president in our nation. This president has a few ideas for this nation in order for it to be a more perfect union.
              His Presidency is mainly running off of something he calls a "bully pulpit" so he can influence ideas. Roosevelt is now taking out most of the trust in the railroad companies in order to make things safe for the American public. Men named E.H. Harriman, James J. Hill and J.P. Morgan fought over the Burlington Railroads. They soon had control over all the rail roads and their prices. Therefore prices are shooting up way high for the farmers trying to transport their goods. Once Roosevelt had heard about this he were forced them to disband their trust.
