Address of President Roosevelt on the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone of the Pilgrim Monument, Provincetown, Massachusetts, August 20, 1907
Draft of a speech with handwritten corrections. President Roosevelt praises the Puritans for their "iron sense of duty" and "will to do the right." Everyone should strive for a "life of effort" and the Puritan's descendants must try to shape modern industrial civilization with the same "justice and fair dealing." These altered conditions call for different laws and government methods, including greater control over business and corporations. Good laws and institutions must also be based on a "high quality of individual citizenship."
