Excerpt from The Works of Theodore Roosevelt, Vol. 1 of 14: Presidential Address and State Papers Roosevelt, for reasons so nearly Obvious as to need little comment. The palpable fact is that President Roosevelt's messages to Congress and a large number of his speeches, delivered in various parts of the country in his capacity as President, pertain to the same topics and serve a like public purpose. The messages must, of course, deal with matters affecting the welfare of the nation, and with various questions of public busi ness or policy, in those aspects that bear upon the work Of Congress. It is the President's Constitu tional right and duty to present information upon such topics, or to expound them from the standpoint of the Administration. In the long series of'presi dential messages one may, indeed, read the history of this country for more than a hundred years. To that Official narrative these messages by Mr. Roose velt add the latest and some of the most fascinating chapters.
