More from Teddy Roosevelt
I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, in virtue of the authority conferred upon me by the said Joint Resolution, do hereby set apart the twelfth day of February, nineteen hundred and nine, as a special legal holiday.
I am happy to report to you that the accompanying document shows in clearest fashion that the Congress was wise in the position it took, and that it would be an inexcusable folly to change from the proposed lock canal to a sea-level canal.
It is hereby ordered that two small islands of the Pribilof group, located approximately in latitude fifty-seven degrees north, longitude one hundred and seventy degrees west from Greenwich, be and same are hereby reserved.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
