Save the forests

This article praises President Theodore Roosevelt for his conservationist efforts, and as a result, protecting western forest lands from politicians such as Senator Charles William Fulton of Oregon and Senator Weldon Brinton Heyburn of Idaho. Rich men with interests in the timber industry claim that they oppose forest reserves for the sake of poor settlers needing land, but the forest reserves do not negatively impact settlers.

He couldn’t tell a lie

Theodore Roosevelt, dressed as George Washington, holds an axe labeled “1912 Candidacy,” and, with his left hand on his chin, he ponders chopping down a cherry tree which has a quote carved into it that states “‘The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstance will I be a candidate for or accept another term’ T.R. Nov. 9, 1904.”
