President Roosevelt tells the crowd at Salisbury, North Carolina, that it is good for Americans, especially the president, to travel, for it teaches one that sectional and class differences are trivial while good citizenship is the same everywhere. He praises the industrial growth of North Carolina and Tennessee, saying it will bring about prosperity for Americans in all sections. He adds that good laws can help this progress, but that no law can create prosperity without a hard-working citizenry possessing wisdom, honesty, perseverance, and courage. He concludes by saying he believes in the people of the region.
