Willam J. Tilghman has been waiting for Theodore Roosevelt to publish his thoughts on the conservation of human life, a topic Tilghman previously sent Roosevelt clippings about. Tilghman believes Roosevelt is the right man to speak on this subject, because he can “stir the consciousness of the nation.” He relates Roosevelt to Jonathon from the book of Samuel in the Bible.
