It is time for us now as a nation to exercise the same reasonable foresight in dealing with our great natural resources that would be shown by any prudent man in conserving and widely using the property which contains the assurance of well-being for himself and his children.

The public must retain control of the great waterways. It is essential that any permit to obstruct them for reasons and on conditions that seem good at the moment should be subject to revision when changed conditions demand.

The first duty of an American citizen, then, is that he shall work in politics.

So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

We have room but for one Language here and that is the English Language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans of American nationality and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house.

Americanism is a question of principle, of idealism, of character. It is not a matter of birthplace, or creed, or line of descent.

All the resources we need are in the mind.
