Letter from William J. Tilghman to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William J. Tilghman to Theodore Roosevelt

Willam J. Tilghman has been waiting for Theodore Roosevelt to publish his thoughts on the conservation of human life, a topic Tilghman previously sent Roosevelt clippings about. Tilghman believes Roosevelt is the right man to speak on this subject, because he can “stir the consciousness of the nation.” He relates Roosevelt to Jonathon from the book of Samuel in the Bible.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James A. Tawney

President Roosevelt has just signed a bill that will allow for an investigation and report on women and children workers in the United States. He tells James A. Tawney, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, that he does not think the amount of $150,000 recommended by Secretary of Commerce and Labor Oscar S. Straus is enough money to carry out an adequate investigation, and feels an amount double this should be appropriated.
