| Summary | "Address of President Roosevelt at St. Louis, Missouri, October 2, 1907" by Roosevelt is a historical account capturing a speech given by the then-President of the United States. This address, delivered during the early 20th century, focuses on the issues of transportation, economy, and the importance of national infrastructure, particularly relating to the Mississippi River and the Panama Canal. The overarching theme highlights Roosevelt's vision for improving water highways and regulating interstate commerce. In his address, President Roosevelt advocates for the restoration and enhancement of the Mississippi River as a critical artery for national commerce, emphasizing the need for federal involvement in its development. He argues that the decline of water transport systems should be reversed to complement the existing rail networks. Roosevelt also discusses the significance of a strong U.S. Navy and the importance of national regulation of railroads and corporations engaged in interstate commerce. By calling for comprehensive legislation to govern these entities, he warns against the dangers of unchecked economic power. Roosevelt’s speech reflects his broader progressive agenda aimed at ensuring fair competition and addressing the evolving challenges of a rapidly industrializing nation.
