This Saturday Review article begins by observing the American penchant for lectures. President Roosevelt’s annual message is one example of a lecture, which the author calls a “sermon.” However, the author suggests Roosevelt does not understand that “there is nothing weighty in [his annual message] but its style.” The author concludes by mentioning the dichotomy of Roosevelt lecturing the rest of the world but letting the American people off.
