President Roosevelt says he is glad to see the people of Hickory, North Carolina, and to have traveled through North Carolina and Tennessee in the last few days. He says that he is pleased to witness the American South’s industrial growth, which he views as good for all sections of the country. He argues that it is better for some to prosper too much when all are prospering than for all to not have enough and that intelligent work is better than class envy or sectional conflict.
