Teddy Roosevelt: “I believe in the mines; I believe, as you know, in the irrigation works; I believe in your stock ranches, in everything…”

On the recordApril 14, 1905
I believe in the mines; I believe, as you know, in the irrigation works; I believe in your stock ranches, in everything; but the real crop is the crop of children, for if you get that all straight, the other crops will take care of themselves in the end.
