Henry Beach Needham relays a letter to President Roosevelt from R. M. Allen, an attorney responsible for the pure food law in Kentucky. Allen’s letter describes the “blind faith” that the American people have in Roosevelt and his advocacy for legislation, in contrast to their lack of appreciation of the need for local legislation. Needham urges Roosevelt to take advantage of this, making a statement in support of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act as laws safeguarding the rights of the American citizen. These laws represent the first instance that most people come into direct contact with the federal government.
