T.R.’s “Man With the Muckrake” Speech: A New Interpretation

T.R.’s “Man With the Muckrake” Speech: A New Interpretation

Howard A. Sobel asserts that President Roosevelt condemned some of the radical journalists of the early twentieth century in his 1906 speech “The Man With the Muckrake” because he believed that their efforts only produced anger and division and did not promote constructive reforms achieved through the political process. Sobel stresses that Roosevelt believed in steady, gradual reforms that would address wrongs and curb public anger that could lead to class divisions and anarchy. Sobel argues that Roosevelt’s approach to reform can be seen in his biographies of Gouverneur Morris and Thomas Hart Benton.

The doctrine of expatriation

The doctrine of expatriation

In this magazine article, John Bassett Moore discusses the concept of expatriation. In the early days of the American republic, the government inherited the idea of “indefeasible allegiance” from English common law, which was maintained for some time. The first Secretary of State to announce the doctrine of expatriation was James Buchanan, who believed it was the duty of America to protect naturalized and native citizens exactly the same. This opinion was not adopted by subsequent secretaries of state until Buchanan was president, and did not become law in the United States until July 1868. Since 1872, the United States has tried to secure naturalization treaties with all countries. Moore concludes his article discussing an incorrect impression about expatriation. Some people believe a declaration of intention to become an American citizen brings about the same protection as a citizen, which Moore firmly states is “altogether erroneous.”

Houghton Mifflin Company requests an update on Theodore Roosevelt’s revisions of his books Gouverneur Morris and Thomas H. Benton.
