Letter from Francis Langer to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Francis Langer to Theodore Roosevelt

Francis Langer, a self-described amateur natural philosopher, wants to send Theodore Roosevelt his treatise on the “nature, origin and operation of solar gravitation, as the principle of force and motion.” He enumerates some of the truths he discovered. Langer hopes his treatise will give Roosevelt as much pleasure as Roosevelt’s books have given him. He also hopes Roosevelt will be the powerful protector he needs and will bridge the gulf between him and the learned world.

The universal church of the future – from the present religious outlook

The universal church of the future – from the present religious outlook

Four men sit quietly beneath a shelf of “Books of Religious Reference” in a hall in a museum. A small crowd is gathered before them. Further along the hall, another group of four men sits quietly beneath a shelf of “Books of Scientific Reference.” Part of the display, labeled “Geography,” shows an owl perched on an open book labeled “Kosmos” and a man standing next to a globe. Further still along the hall, a man is lecturing to a large gathering in a section labeled “Chemistry.” Portraits of Nicolaus Copernicus, Charles Darwin, Benedictus de Spinoza, and Thomas Paine hang from the vaulted archways above.

Leadership

Leadership

Theodore Roosevelt reflects on the importance of leadership and service in a democracy. He argues that great leaders should be recognized and compensated adequately for their service, whether in government or industry. Among farmers’ cooperatives and laborers’ unions, unless leadership is encouraged and compensated, the organizations will attract leaders that are second-rate. Great leaders are needed in the arts and sciences as much as in other fields of endeavor.
