'Whether Douglas Robinson, who
Is Mr. Roosevelt's brother-in-law, or
ftny of Mr. Taft's brothers associated
liimselt with Mr. Cromwell In Pan
ama exploitation or shared in these
profits is incidental to the main issue
of letting in the light.'
"This statement is intentionally
misleading. The Panama story was
used in the campaign for political
reasons solely. The one thing that
gave its political value in the eyes of
those who used it was the fact that
the story, as printed, carried the
names of a brother of the Republican
candidate for the presidency and of a
brother-in-law of the president. The
inference was plain enough. It was
that Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft had used their Influence as
high officials of the United States gov
ernment to help near relatives in
Looting the Treasury
at Washington. That was the meat of
the story. If the names of Douglas
Robinson and Charles P. Taft had not
been included in it, flimBy and absurd
as it was, the lying yarn would never
have been used by the World, the In
dianapolis News and other papers
which for one reason or another want
ed to defeat Mr. Taft and discredit
Mr. Roosevelt.
"The World is trying to dodge the
issue. It wants to be relieved of the
responsibility of trying to drag the
names of Mr. Robinson and Mr. Taft
into its made to order mess of scan-
Absolutely
PURE
"Both the World and the Indlanap
olis News are crying 'let in the light.'
We thoroughly agree with them. But
after a little time has passed, after
the most desperate efforts of the cor
nered World and News have produced
all the evidence they can, an apology
will be in order from those newspa
pers.
"In the meantime Mr. Taft reserves
the right to take legal steps, which
possibly have been made more desir
able by the events and insinuations of
the past forty-eight hours."
REGARDING CANAL PURCHASE
New York World Declares Roosevelt's
Statements Untrue.
New York, Dec. 9.—The New York
World, to which Delavan Smith, ed
itor of the Indianapolis News, referred
in his reply to President Roosevelt's
attack upon him as the authority for
the article on the Panama canal
wliich appeared in his paper and
called forth the president's letter,
says:
"In view of President Roosevelt's
deliberate misstatements of fact in
his scandalous personal attack upon
Mr. Delavan Smith, editor of the In
dianapolis News, the World calls upon
the congress of the United States to
make immediately a full and impar
tial investigation of the entire Pan
ama canal scandal.
"The investigation of 1906 by the
senate committee of the interoceanic
canals was blocked by the refusal of
William Nelson Cromwell to answer
the most pertinent questions of Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama. Since that
time nothing has been done because,
after Senator Morgan's death, then
was no successor to carry on his
great work of revealing the truth
about Panama corruption."
The World then quotes from Pres
ident Roosevelt's letter denying the
charges and continues:
"To the best of the World's knowl
edge and belief each and all of these
statements made by Mr. Roosevelt are
untrue and Mr. Roosevelt must have
known they were untrue when he
made them."
CHURCH COUNCIL ADJOURNS
Leaders Well Satisfied With the Prog
ress Made.
Philadelphia, Dec. 9.—After a most
successful meeting, during which
many subjects of vital importance to
the church were discussed and a long
step forward was made in the move
ment to bring all Protestant denom
inations together for united effort in
spreading the gospel, the Federal
Council of the Churches of (Jhrist in
America adjourned to 1912. The at
tendance has been gratifying to the
leaders in the movement, every one
of the thirty-three denominations
identified with the federal council
sending delegates to its sessions. The
two subjects on the programme for
the closing session were "Family
Life," which came before the council
in the form of a paper prepared by
Bishop Doane of Albany, and "Inter
national Relations," in a report pre
pared by Henry Wade Rogers, dean of
the law department of Yale univer
sity.
