EDITORS COMMENTS
President Theodore Roosevelt: A Night of Reflection and Contemplation, 1905 May 3 This illustration depicts President Theodore Roosevelt in the great outdoors, embracing the tranquility of nature. Seated by a crackling campfire, Roosevelt wears a buckskin shirt and raccoon hat, his trusty knife in hand and rifle by his side. The serene setting is in stark contrast to the ominous figures lurking in the shadows beyond the fire's light. In the darkness, a snake labeled 'Mormonism' slithers menacingly, a reference to the ongoing tensions between the government and the Mormon Church during Roosevelt's presidency. A bull labeled 'Beef Trust' represents the monopolistic practices of the meatpacking industry, which Roosevelt sought to regulate through antitrust legislation. A strange bird labeled 'Merger Bird' symbolizes the corporate consolidations and mergers that were transforming American business during this era. The locomotive labeled 'Standard Oil' looms large, its snake-like appendage extending from the front, bearing the head of John D. Rockefeller. This ominous representation underscores the immense power and influence of the oil industry at the time. Lastly, a bat labeled 'Castro' adds an intriguing element to the scene. It is unclear whether this refers to Jose Marti, a Cuban revolutionary hero, or a different individual or entity entirely. The inclusion of such diverse and thought-provoking symbols adds depth and intrigue to this illustration of President Theodore Roosevelt's nighttime contemplations.
