Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"And Congress, the National Legislature, has not of recent years put upon the statute books any law as wise, as beneficent as the National irrigation act of a year ago."

"The law is no respecter of persons."

"We are going to see great manufacturing centers here in Montana taking advantage of the power of your waters."

"We are bound in honor to try to remedy injustice; but if we are wise we will seek to remedy it in practical ways."
