Summary "Address of President Roosevelt at Keokuk, Iowa, October 1, 1907" by Roosevelt is a political speech delivered during the early 20th century. This address focuses on important economic and social issues facing the United States at the time, particularly the relationship between the government and large corporations, as well as the significance of maintaining a strong, independent farming class. Roosevelt emphasizes the ideals of justice, fairness, and the need for active citizen engagement in promoting laws that benefit the average American. In his speech, Roosevelt discusses the threats posed by the growing divide between wealthy corporations and the average citizen, drawing historical parallels to the fall of the Roman Republic. He advocates for a government that ensures fairness and justice for all, while warning against the perils of either mob rule or plutocracy. Roosevelt also emphasizes the importance of agriculture and the role of the middle-sized farmer in American society, advocating for educational reforms and governmental policies that support farming and protect the rights of actual home-makers. He concludes with a call for a cooperative effort between the government and the citizenry to maintain the health of the nation’s agricultural and economic landscape, reflecting his belief in strong character and active self-governance as crucial for the nation’s future.
