Theodore Rex 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

Theodore Rex is the story—never fully told before—of Theodore Roosevelt’s two world-changing terms as President of the United States. A hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, “TR” succeeded to power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism. Youngest of all our chief executives, he rallied a stricken nation with his superhuman energy, charm, and political skills. He proceeded to combat the problems of race and labor relations and trust control while making the Panama Canal possible and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But his most historic achievement remains his creation of a national conservation policy, and his monument millions of acres of protected parks and forest. Theodore Rex ends with TR leaving office, still only fifty years old, his future reputation secure as one of our greatest presidents.

To him, conservation-a term just becoming politically fashionable-meant ' not only the preservation of natural resources, but the prevention of the monopoly of natural resources, so they should inhere in the people as a whole.'

In a fundamental disagreement with Social Darwinist thinkers, Roosevelt condemned 'that baleful law of natural selection which tells against the survival of some of the most desirable classes.' His own field studies, both scientific and political, has shown him how populous species, whose competition was ferocious, advanced more slowly than those whose selection was determined by reasonable numbers and controlled by certain laws of behaviour As with guinea pigs, so with Slavs; as with lions, so with Anglo-Saxons.

For those blacks who did not, Roosevelt had little political sympathy. The Georgian blood of his unreconstructed mother persuaded him that the Fifteenth Amendment had been 'a mistake', and that, in nine cases out of ten, disfranchisement was justified. Blacks were better suited for service than suffrage; on the whole, they were' altogether inferior to the whites'.

Yet Roosevelt believed [as most Americans did not] that this inferiority was temporary. The arguments of Charles Darwin, Jean Lamarck, and Gustave Le Bon convinced him that Washington's race was merely adolescent, as his own had been in the seventeenth century. Negro advancement must' necessarily be painful'-witness the scars on Washington's face, his air of swarthy suffering- but equality would come, as black Americans, generati...

In his world there was neither absolute good nor absolute evil-only shifting standards of positive and negative behaviour, determined by the majority and subject to constant change. Morality was not defined by God; it was the code a given generation of men wanted to live by. Truth was ' what I can't believing'. Yesterday's absolutes must give way to 'the felt necessities the time.'

Human law, he went on, encouraged moneymaking, but natural law prevented equal gain.--P138
