THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Former President Theodore Roosevelt Writes “I Am Now Receiving Nearly Two Thousand Letters A Week And It Is Almost Impossible To Deal With The Mail…My Experience Has Been Exactly Like Yours As To The Cowardice And Hypocrisy Of So Many Of The Professional ‘Uplifters’ With Whom We Are Dealingâ€
TLS. 2pg. 7†x 10â€. May 27 1916. Oyster Bay. A lengthy and feisty typed letter signed “Theodore Roosevelt†with numerous handwritten corrections throughout. He wrote to Mrs. A.W. Nicholson of Portland Oregon who was a prominent local Republican: “I am now receiving nearly two thousand letters a week and it is almost impossible to deal with the mail and utterly out of the question for me to answer the letters I prize the most with more than a few lines. Your letter has only just been brought before me but not the story of Adison Bennet’s to which you referred. I fear it has gone…I am happy to say I was of a little assistance in getting Homer’s son a place on a railroad where when I last heard from him he was doing well. My dear Mrs. Nicholson if I start a movement to give a stone to Homer you have no conception of the multitude of similar movements I would have to go into. It seems churlish not to do it as you request but if you were in my place you would understand I simply can’t undertake one such matter without inviting like demands in hundreds of other cases. By George I wish I had met your boy so as to recognize him. If I had realized who he was when he was playing polo on Long Island I would have gotten him to come over for lunch. I understand exactly how you feel my dear Mrs. Nicholson in having him among those men the men with whom he is entitled to associate as a gentleman – and I never met a more typical gentleman one whom Mrs. Roosevelt and I both felt in the same way about! than a certain gentlewoman who bought her boys up on a ranch! That was a striking experience you touched on in your letter. Of course my experience has been exactly like yours as to the cowardice and hypocrisy of so many of the professional ‘uplifters’ with whom we are dealing. I have only this time to send you this line of thanks and good will.†Addison Bennett was editor of an Oregon newspaper. The letter has light fading to the purple typewriting and a vertical and horizontal fold. The signature is large and dark as is the handwriting throughout. unknown books

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
NYPD Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt Argues the Police Entrance Exam Keeps “Blockheads†Off the Force
<p>Theodore Roosevelt as New York City Police Commissioner defends his reforms including his implementation of an entrance exam for candidates a year before his victory in the gubernatorial election. "<i>We have appointed sixteen hundred patrolmen under these examinations . If they were strong hardy young fellows of good character and fair intelligence they got their appointments. As a whole they form the finest body of recruits that have ever been added to the New York police force.</i>"</p> <b>THEODORE ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed as New York City Police Commissioner to W.C. Sanger defending the police entrance exam February 5 1897 New York N.Y. On "<i>Police Department of the City of New York</i>" stationery. 8 pp. 8 x 10½ x ¼ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Partial Transcript:</b></p><p>"<i>I have read with interest the four pages of questions quoted from the Police Civil Service examinations under the heading 'The Reign of Roosevelt' and apparently gathered by or for <b>Mr. Abraham Gruber. He refers to these questions as if they were in some way improper and not such as should be asked candidates for the position of patrolman</b>. It may be well at the outset to state that patrolmen receive ultimately $1400. a year and that from their ranks are developed a Chief a Deputy Chief five Inspectors thirty-seven Captains nearly two hundred Sergeants and nearly two hundred Roundsmen with salaries ranging from $6000. to $1500 . <b>Mr. Gruber's contention apparently is that questions which it is proper to ask a man before he becomes a citizen are improper when asked him upon his seeking to become the official representative of all citizens and in a peculiar sense the guardian of the laws and the upholder of the government</b> . Perhaps by quoting the answers to some of the questions we asked it may be possible to give a clearer idea of the mental development of the candidates who failed. For example: one question we asked was to name five of the States that seceded from the Union in 1861. One answer was 'New York Albany Pennsylvania Philadelphia and Delaware.' Another question was 'Name five of the New England States' One answer to this question was 'England Ireland Scotland Whales and Cork.' Another was 'London Africa and New England.' . Another question was 'Upon what written instrument is the government of the United States founded' The conclusion one bright competitor reached was expressed in the brief word 'Paper.' . Yet another question was 'Into what three branches is the government of the United States divided' Rather a common answer to this during the heat of the last campaign was 'Democrats Republicans and Populists' . I will ask any thoughtful man after reading over those answers to questions whether on the average it is not likely that a man of sufficient intelligence and public spirit to know a little about the government and its history is not apt to make a better public employee especially in the police force than the blockhead who is incapable of understanding what the words 'government' and 'history' mean . <b>We have appointed sixteen hundred patrolmen under these examinations</b> . <b>If they were strong hardy young fellows of good character and fair intelligence they got their appointments. As a whole they form the finest body of recruits that have ever been added to the New York police force</b>.</i>"</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Theodore Roosevelt became New York Police Commissioner in 1895 inheriting a force weakened by widespread Tammany Hall corruption and patronage; promotions were often doled out based on political affiliation or sold. With his customary zeal for reform Roosevelt sought to reinvent the NYPD. He established a new set of disciplinary rules reorganized the Detective Bureau started a school of pistol practice and instituted regular inspections of firearms and annual physical exams. He also championed a tougher more comprehensive entrance exam that emphasized general knowledge in subjects such as history government and geography.</p><p>Some critics including prominent Republican criminal lawyer and politico Abraham Gruber 1861-1915 objected to the exam seeing snobbery in the "Reign of Roosevelt." As this hilarious letter indicates Roosevelt rejected their arguments completely. Roosevelt's letter appeared in the <i>New York Times</i> on February 7 1897 p24/c5.</p><p>Seeking to promote the idea of policing as an ethical and honorable profession he established the first police meritorious service medals and widened the pool of applicants to include ethnic minorities. In his two years as president of the Police Commission Roosevelt oversaw the appointment of 1600 new recruits chosen solely for their qualifications not connections. After the election of 1896 Roosevelt resigned to become Assistant Secretary of the Navy in the administration of President William McKinley.</p><p><b>William C. Sanger</b> 1853-1921 born in Brooklyn was educated at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute Harvard College and Columbia Law School and became a New York City lawyer. He and his wife then moved to Oneida County on lands settled by his revolutionary-era ancestor Jedediah Sanger. He was elected to the state assembly as a Republican and became friendly with Theodore Roosevelt each being concerned in civil service reform. Sanger also began service in the New York State National Guard and became lieutenant colonel of the 203rd N.Y. Infantry and was later appointed Inspector General of the State National Guard by Roosevelt. He was then appointed Assistant Secretary of War by McKinley and served under Roosevelt. In retirement Sanger served as president of the state branch of the Red Cross and president of the New York State Hospital Commission. Roosevelt and Sanger were each members of the Boone and Crockett Club an important wilderness preservation advocacy group.</p> books

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
President Theodore Roosevelt Condemns Abortion Birth Control and Family Planning
<p>Decades before the landmark Supreme Court decision of <i>Roe v. Wade</i> a passionate Roosevelt expresses his concern for the morality and "<i>virility</i>" of the American people. "<i>As you are a minister of the Gospel I think I ought to say to you that I am so sure of it that I feel that no man who is both intelligent and decent can differ with me …</i>"</p> <b>THEODORE ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed as President to Rev. Franklin C. Smith January 24 1906 Washington D.C. On White House stationery with five words added in his hand. 4 pp. 8 x 10½ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p> <i>January 24 1906</i></p><p><i>My Dear Sir:</i></p><p> <i>I entirely agree with you that I should be very sure of my ground before giving public utterance to my opinions. As to the subject to which you refer I am absolutely sure; and as you are a minister of the Gospel I think I ought to say to you that I am so sure of it that I feel that <b>no man who is both intelligent and decent can differ with me</b>. I mean this literally. It is not a debatable subject. I enclose you a copy of my address to the Mother's Congress. What I have said there is such plain common-sense truth that it is not open to question. <b>Men may differ about the tariff or about currency or about expansion; but the man who questions the attitude I take in this matter is I firmly believe either lacking in intelligence or else lacking in character</b>. The attitude you seem tentatively inclined to favor is one of astounding folly as well as of astounding immorality. <b>To advocate artificially keeping families small with its inevitable attendants of pre-natal infanticide of abortion with its pandering to self-indulgence its shirking of duties and its enervation of character is quite as immoral as to advocate theft or prostitution and is even more hurtful in its folly from the standpoint of the ultimate welfare of the race and the nation</b>.</i></p><p> <i>You say that certain French thinkers assert 'that a limited number of offspring well cared for and equipped physically and mentally is a higher service to the state and race than a larger number necessarily not so well equipped.' This sentence is rendered pure nonsense by the word 'necessarily.' There is no necessity about it. The average child from a fair-sized family is in my experience much better equipped to do good service than the average child from a family of only one or two children where the cold self-indulgence the selfishness the folly or wickedness of the parents are responsible for the fact that there are but one or two children. Surely you can not but be aware that the result</i> added by hand: <i>in practice</i> <i>of the theory of the 'eminent French thinkers' to whom you refer is that in France the growth of the population has stopped instead of increasing and indeed apart from emigration is now diminishing and that frightful</i> added by hand: <i>moral and physical</i> <i>evils have followed in its train. In New England at the present time the old native stock is diminishing – that is there are actually fewer people of the Revolutionary stock left in New England today than there were fifty years ago – and this even eliminating all the emigration from New England. It is as arrant nonsense to speak of its being possible to render service to the state by a course of conduct which means that there won't be any state to render service to as it would be to speak of a man rendering service to himself by taking poison. You say that your ministry lies among well-to-do people; that is among people of means and upper class workers. I assume that you regard these people as desirable elements in the state. Can you not see that if they have an insufficient quantity of children then the increase must come from the less desirable classes; and if on the other hand there is no increase in any class that then the decrease which is always taking place in certain classes will mean a general diminution in the population Are you not aware of the fact that the diminution in the birthrate in Australia proceeding from just such mixture of selfishness and confusion of ideas as is responsible for the talk about 'making up in quality what is lacking in quantity' has gone so far that the great island continent bids fair to see its population become stationary while it is still too scantily peopled to be developed</i></p><p> <i>I am a very busy man as you say but I have taken the time to write you because I think from your letter that you a minister of the Gospel are in imminent danger of adopting a position both vicious and foolish – a position which would make your influence baleful to the state and a deep discredit to the church. To me the most horrifying part of this movement is to find nominally religious journals like the Independent containing articles by women and clergymen apologizing for and defending <b>a theory of conduct which if adopted would mean the speedy collapse of this republic and of western civilization.</b>The action of the Independent in this matter was a scandalous offense against good morals and a cause of shame to men of real religious feeling. When any nation gets sunk in such ignoble selfishness such mere desire for ease and self-indulgence as is implied in the course which you seem prepared to advocate it is time for that nation to make way for some other nation which possesses the elementary decencies and manly virtues. <b>Character counts more than intellect; and character in any true sense is wholly wanting in people who practice such a course of conduct.</b></i></p><p> <i>Sincerely yours</i></p><p> <i>Theodore Roosevelt</i></p><p><i>Rev. Franklin C. Smith</i></p><p> <i>Christ Church Rectory</i></p><p> <i>Central City Nebraska.</i></p><p><i>Enclosure</i> not here</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>In this characteristically confrontational letter to a Nebraska minister Roosevelt argues against the implementation of family planning and warns that shrinking family sizes are harmful to "<i>the ultimate welfare of the race and the nation.</i>" Above all else Roosevelt was a Social Darwinist and muscular nationalist – this more than religious sensibilities underlay Roosevelt's attack. Rev. Franklin C. Smith had evidently expressed his support on a prior occasion for "<i>certain French thinkers</i>" who maintained that fewer children receiving closer parental attention were more desirable than large families. Roosevelt rejects Smith's argument in no uncertain terms pointing out that the French birthrate had stalled and that "<i>frightful moral and physical evils have followed in its train.</i>" In addition deliberately limiting family sizes "<i>would mean the speedy collapse of this republic and of western civilization</i>."</p><p>Roosevelt is particularly angry that a minister might promote "<i>artificially keeping families small</i>" warning Smith that adopting such a position would make him "<i>a deep discredit to the church</i>." He also mentions enclosing "<i>a copy of my address to the Mothers' Congress</i>" which contains "<i>such plain common-sense truth that it is not open to question</i>." Nearly a year earlier in that speech Roosevelt had also singled out a member of the clergy:</p><p> "I actually read not long ago in a certain paper where a clergyman was quoted seemingly with approval as expressing the general American attitude when he said that the ambition of any save a very rich man should be to rear two children only so as to give his children an opportunity 'to taste a few of the good things of life.' This man whose profession and calling should have made him a moral teacher actually set before others the ideal not of training children to do their duty…but forsooth of keeping the number of children so limited that they might 'taste a few good things!'…The intelligence of the remark is on a par with its morality…"</p><p>Roosevelt's main argument clearly expressed in both this letter and his speech to the Mother's Congress was that Americans capable of having children who chose not to exhibited a dangerous "<i>cold self-indulgence</i>." This "<i>selfishness</i>" would lead to a "<i>general diminution of the population</i>" particularly among the "<i>desirable classes</i>" resulting in moral bankruptcy and ultimately extinction. According to Roosevelt the issue is "<i>not a debatable subject</i>." While "<i>men may differ about tariff or about currency or about expansion</i>" he writes that "<i>the man who questions the attitude I take in this matter</i>" is "<i>either lacking in intelligence or else lacking in character</i>."</p><p>In an article published five years later Roosevelt publicly denounced birth control as "worse more debasing more destructive than ordinary vice" and recommended a family of four children for the "average man and woman" "Race Decadence" <i>The Outlook</i> April 8 1911 763-69.</p><p><b>Franklin C. Smith</b> 1874-1950 was born in Maine and married Mary Major in 1895 in Missouri. They had four children between 1896 and 1910. From 1898 to 1900 Smith attended the Kansas Theological School in Topeka Kansas and was ordained a minister in the Protestant Episcopal Church. He served as rector of churches in Oklahoma Nebraska Idaho Wyoming Pennsylvania and Michigan. During his career he also wrote several diocesan histories of the Episcopal Church in various areas.</p> books

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Theodore Roosevelt Downplays His Nomination Prospects in 1916
<p>Seven years removed from office Roosevelt gives little credence to the belief in some quarters that he had a chance to win the Republican nomination to oppose incumbent Democratic President Woodrow Wilson in the election of 1916. "<i>I do not believe that the Republicans have any intention of nominating me. I only hope they will give us some man who will be the antithesis of Wilson.</i>"</p> <b>THEODORE ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed to Judge Richard Campbell of the Philippines May 13 1916 Oyster Bay Long Island N.Y. 1 p. 7 x 10 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i>Oyster Bay / Long Island N. Y.</i></p><p><i>May 13 1916.</i></p><p><i>My Dear Judge:--</i></p><p> <i>That's an awfully nice letter of yours! I will see Judge Moreland as soon as possible. Now I wish I could see you and go over this situation.</i></p><p> <i>I do not believe that the Republicans have any intention of nominating me. I only hope they will give us some man who will be the antithesis of Wilson. What a trump General Barry is!</i></p><p> <i>Sincerely yours</i></p><p> <i>Theodore Roosevelt</i></p><p><i>Hon. Richard Campbell</i></p><p><i>Court of First Instance</i></p><p><i>Manila P. I.</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p><b>Thomas Henry Barry</b> 1855-1919 was a U.S. Army general whom President Roosevelt had earlier appointed as commander of the Army of Cuban Occupation and Pacification and who had also served as Superintendent of West Point from 1910 to 1912. At the time of this letter he was the commander of American troops in the Philippines and China.</p><p>The central issue in the 1916 presidential election was the looming prospect of American involvement in the war in Europe. To no one's surprise the Democrats nominated incumbent Woodrow Wilson while the Republicans nominated Charles Evans Hughes of New York then a sitting associate justice on the Supreme Court. Regrouping after the disastrous result of Roosevelt's "spoiler" candidacy in 1912 the Progressive Party nominated him once more. Roosevelt his disdain for Wilson even greater than before and all too aware of the consequences of another split Republican vote withdrew his candidacy and threw his support behind Hughes. Roosevelt was an anglophile and a muscular nationalist and favored immediate American intervention in Europe on the side of Britain and France. Ironically Wilson campaigned on the slogan "he kept us out of war" but moved the nation towards a declaration of war against Germany a year later. In 1916 Wilson defeated Hughes in one of the closest elections in American history winning by twenty-three electoral votes and about 600000 popular votes out of over 18 million votes cast.</p> books

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Theodore Roosevelt Mentions "Colored Troops" four months after he and his Rough Riders charged up San Juan Hill with them in Cuba
<p>"<i>Don't tell Owens this but the orderly I alluded to was another man. I am very much obliged to you. I have spoken a great deal about the colored troops.</i>"</p><p>On the day he wrote this letter his 40th birthday travelling by special campaign train Spanish American War hero Theodore Roosevelt spoke at Rochester Syracuse Utica and Buffalo and places in between. Less than two weeks later he was elected Governor of New York.</p> <b>THEODORE ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed New York October 27 1898 to Mrs. Emma Wynkoop Clark. "<i>On Board spec. Train</i>" postmarked Utica N.Y. October 28 1898. 1 p. 8¼ x 9¾ in. With envelope 6¼ x 3½ in.<p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>In April 1898 Roosevelt resigned his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. With Colonel Leonard Wood Lt. Colonel Roosevelt formed the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry regiment dubbed the Rough Riders composed of a diverse variety of men from across the nation and from many backgrounds and professions. Soon after landing in Cuba Wood was put in command of the brigade and Roosevelt was promoted to command of the regiment.</p><p>On July 1 at the battle of San Juan Hill the Rough Riders fought alongside the African American soldiers of the 24th Infantry and the 9th and 10th Cavalry. Overcoming defenders who had superior position the Americans took Kettle Hill and San Juan Hill. Approximately 200 Americans were killed among them 30 "Buffalo Soldiers." Despite the casualties it was a decisive victory. American forces gained a strategic position from which to attack the main Spanish garrison in the city of Santiago de Cuba which surrendered two weeks later.</p><p>During the battle of San Juan Hill Roosevelt on horseback was able to get ahead of the men on foot "excepting my orderly Henry Bardshar who had run ahead very fast in order to get better shots at the Spaniards."Perhaps Roosevelt had alluded to Bardshar's performance without mentioning him by name in his early accounts of the battle. Roosevelt had several orderlies including Henry P. Bardshar 1872-1946 of Prescott Arizona; William H. Sanders of Salem Massachusetts who died of fever; G. Roland Fortescue of New York New York wounded in the foot; and Gordon Johnston 1874-1934 of Birmingham Alabama. Perhaps one of the four Rough Riders named Owens—Clay T. Owens of El Paso Texas; Edward L. Owens of Vinita Indian Territory Oklahoma; John M. Owens of Oologah Indian Territory; and William A. Owens of Jerome Arizona—also served as an orderly.</p><p><b>Roosevelt and African Americans</b></p><p>Roosevelt later commented about the Buffalo Soldiers "no one can tell whether it was the Rough Riders or the men of the 9th who came forward with the greater courage to offer their lives in the service of their country." On August 14 1899 Roosevelt wrote in a private letter to African American newspaperman John E. Bruce of Albany New York "I wish no better men beside me in battle than these colored troops showed themselves to be. Later on when I come to write of the campaign I shall have much to say about them."</p><p>Yet the prejudices of his day were not entirely absent. Roosevelt also later wrote "Negro troops were shirkers in their duties and would only go as far as they were led by white officers."</p><p>Responding to the firestorm of controversy over his 1901 invitation to Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House Roosevelt defiantly commented "I am sorry to say that the idiot or vicious Bourbon element of the South is crazy because I have had Booker T. Washington to dine. I shall have him to dine just as often as I please."</p><p>However five years later in the wake of a riot at Brownsville Texas Roosevelt unfairly ordered the dishonorable discharge of 167 African American soldiers depriving them of pensions and the ability to work in federal jobs.</p><p><b>Theodore Roosevelt</b> 1858-1919 was born in New York City and graduated from Harvard University in 1880 and attended Columbia Law School. He served in the New York State Assembly from 1882 to 1884 and as president of the New York City Police Commissioners in 1895 and 1896 then as Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1897 to 1898. After service in Cuba during the Spanish-American War he won election as Governor of New York and served from 1899 to 1900. He ran as Vice President to William McKinley in 1900 and became President in September 1901 when McKinley was assassinated. Reelected in 1904 Roosevelt was President until 1909. A prolific author and naturalist Roosevelt was instrumental in the Progressive movement of the early twentieth century helped preserve the nation's natural resources and extended American power throughout the world with a focus on a modern navy.</p><p><b>Emma Wynkoop Clark</b> 1838-1926 was born in Maryland. Her husband James J. Clark 1836-after 1915 was a clothier in New York. In March 1900 Emma W. Clark filed for bankruptcy. That year she lived in Brooklyn with her daughter Fannie W.
