Letter from Paul V. Collins to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Paul V. Collins to Theodore Roosevelt

Paul V. Collins gives Theodore Roosevelt the names of the men who submitted an article on reciprocity to be published in The Outlook and confirms that Roosevelt gave the men a word limit for the article. Collins writes of his experience trying to get the editor of the Saturday Evening Post to print an article contrary to the line the magazine had already taken on reciprocity and says most publications have only printed one side of the story. Collins thinks there is likely to be a “stampede” at the Republican National Convention and Roosevelt will be nominated.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Gifford Pinchot

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Gifford Pinchot

Although President Theodore Roosevelt believes that farmers are better off than before, the increase in their well-being has not kept pace with the nation as a whole. The government has successfully focused resources on crop production but “good crops are of little value to the farmer unless they open the door to a good kind of life on the farm.” To this end, Roosevelt asks Gifford Pinchot if he will serve on a “Commission on Country Life.”

President Roosevelt tells John Appleton Stewart that he supports the movement about which Stewart wrote, which addresses the needs of people in agricultural areas and small towns. Several states in the East are neglecting their duty to their country districts.
