It is unlawful for any person to hunt, trap, capture, willfully disturb, or kill any bird of any kind whatever, or take the eggs of such birds within the limits of this reservation.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Now, Therefore, be it known that I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority conferred by the third section of said Tariff Act, do hereby suspend, during the continuance in force of the said…

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.

Every American citizen should feel not merely gratification, but a very keen sense of pride in the statement made by this distinguished body of engineers as to the way in which the work has been done, and in which it is now proceeding.

The American people are to be heartily congratulated on everything of importance that has been done in connection with the building of the Panama Canal.

The board of engineers who signed this report are of all the men in their profession, within or without the United States, the men who are on the whole best qualified to pass upon these very questions which they examined.

Surely poverty alone should not disrupt the home.

The interests of the nation are involved in the welfare of this army of children no less than in our great material affairs.

Each of these children represents either a potential addition to the productive capacity and the enlightened citizenship of the nation, or, if allowed to suffer from neglect, a potential addition to the destructive forces of the community.

I do not believe in the doctrine that to the victor belong the spoils; but I think even less of the doctrine that the spoils shall be divided without a fight by the professional politicians on both sides.

But it is of high consequence to the country that the statistical work of the census shall be conducted with entire accuracy.

The noncompetitive examination in a case like this is not only vicious, but is in effect a fraud upon the public.

I can not too earnestly urge that the Director of the Census be relieved from this unfortunate situation.
