More from Teddy Roosevelt
Character must show itself in the man's performance both of the duty he owes himself and of the duty he owes the State.
Now, Therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by an Act of Congress, approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, entitled, 'An Act Making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight and for other purposes,' do proclaim that said lands are hereby added to the Carson National Forest.
France is one of these nations. For her to sink would be a loss to all the world.
Such National Forest so enlarged shall, except as hereinafter provided, be subject to all the laws affecting National Forests.
