Samuel Strasbourger writes of the importance of this moment when President Taft has called a special session of Congress to deal with tariffs, reciprocity, and other big issues facing the nation.

Taft will need to continue to be firm and courageous, willing to be vilified to do what is right for the country.

The writer reports on the political situation in California, now that Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna has died. It appears likely that the Republicans will nominate President Roosevelt at their state convention next week. If William Randolph Hearst is nominated for the Democrats, there will be a fight to carry California, but it is likely Roosevelt will win the state. If Alton B. Parker or another conservative Democrat is nominated, it is all but certain that he will win it.

African Safari (March 1909-1910)
Judge Lindsey contemplates the duty of the community in raising children. It is important for communities to provide places where children can play and grow, because without areas where this is permitted they will still act and play as children, but may do so where it is not permitted and thus risk wrongly running afoul of the law. Communities play almost as important a role as parents in the raising of children.

A drawing of Roosevelt talking to children around a campfire accompanies the piece.

In this chapter excerpt from his book John Muir and His Legacy: The American Conservation Movement, Stephen Fox examines efforts to expand Yosemite National Park, the battle between preservationists and conservationists over the use of forests, and provides portraits of John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, John Burroughs, and Theodore Roosevelt. He looks at the work undertaken by the conservation movement to preserve Niagara Falls, the redwood forests of California, and Mount Desert Island in Maine. Fox concludes the chapter with a look at the battle over the city of San Francisco’s desire to build a dam at the southern end of Hetch Hetchy valley in Yosemite National Park.
