On This Day | Roosevelt’s Capitol Cabin is in Rough Condition
Author

There are some traits of character of Roosevelt, I’d like to see preserved. He was proud of his North Dakota citizenship. He reverenced old age. Why, if he was talking to anyone and would see an old lady hesitate about crossing a street he’d leave you and help her and if you asked him why he’d say, “She may be some boy’s mother.” He believed in good citizenship.
