But Judge Taft justifies a oontlnu

rific Indictment In the editorial .col
umna of the New York World which
furnished the facts upon which Edl
tor Smith commented. In hla denun
elation of Editor Smith President
Roosevslt said:
The United States did not pay
* cent of the 840,000.000 to any
American cltisen.
‘The Government paid this 140..
ooo.ooo direct to the Trench Gov
ernment. getting Out receipt of
th* liquidator appointed by Jb*
French Government to receive the
earn*.
The United Mates Government
has not th* slightest knowledge
aa to th* particular Individuate
among whom th* Trench Govern
ment distributed the same.
Bo far ea I know there we* nn
syndicate; there certainly was no
syndicate In thq United States
that to my knowledge had any
dealings with the Government di
rectly or Indirectly.
The World aaya each and all of
these statements are untrue and Prev
Idem Roosevelt “mutt have known
they were untrue.'
The World eta tea categorically, aa
matter of record, that not only the
149.000,680 for the Trench right*, but
also the •16.000,006 paid for the man
ufacture of the Panama republic was
paid by check on the Unled Mates
Treaaury—aot to the Trench Govern
ment, as President Roosevelt says, but
to J. P. Morgan A Co. N
Tha World shows from the testi
mony of William Nelson Cromwell
himself—the man who engineered both
the Panama deal and the Colombian
revolution, the latter with the aid of
President Roosevelt's administration—
that thl United Mates Government did
net conduct negotiations with tha
Trench Government or with the old
Trench Panama Canal Company, but
with the new American Panama Canal
Company which waa Incorporated In
New Jersey "with dummy director#.'
Th* World cites a Panama canal
syndicate contract, also a syndicate
agreement which provided that eub<
scribera should pay In 8t.060.06d ft
cash and take “their several allot'
menta la the enterprise." Five million
dollars. It la claimed, was ample to
buy tn the rights of the French com
pany In the open market
The World quote* from Cromwell's
testimony that he “represented
new Panama canal" tn consummating
th* dent
finally the World quotes from flenor
J. Gabriel Puque his description of the
revolution. 8cnor Duque eatd:

lien. He offered to make me

to •## me throuah if I would raft*

that this Government haa observed (hr

Roosevelt Mays the story of a Panama
canal “deal" Is false, that neither hla

Chart*# P. Taft had ( anything to do
with tha pvrrhaae from the French
company, and goes on to aay:
The’*’ News says that Mr. Taft
was a member of th* ^syndicate."
So far as 1 know th*r* wa* no
syndicate. There certainly was no
syndicate In th* United mates
that to my knowledge had any
dealings with the Government, di
rectly or Indirectly, and Inasmuch
aa there was no syndicate Mr.
Taft naturally could not belong
to It. The News demands that
Mr. Taft "appeal to the evidence.?
by which It means what It calls
"th# evidence"—that Is. thn mesa
of papers which arc stored In the
War Department, save such as. be
cause of their technical character
and their usefulness In the cur
rent work of the canal, It has been
found advisable to send to the
Isthmus. All these documents that
possessed any Importance aa Illus
trating any feature of the trans
action have already been made
public. There remains a great
mats of documents of little or no
Importance which the administra
tion Is entirely willing to have
K **'shed, but which because of'
mass and polntlessnces no-
• body haa ever cared to publish.
Any reputable man can have full
access to theee documents. If you
or Mr. Swift or Mr. Booth Tark-
fngton or Mr. George Ada—In
short. If any reputable man will
come on har* he shall have Tree
access to the documents ond can
look over everything for him
self. Congreea can have them all
printed if It wishes, but no Con
gressman ha* ever so far Inti
mated any desire that this should
he done—l' suppose because to
print such a maas of documents
would be a great expense and.
moreover, an entirety useless ex
pense. unless, which ta not tha
case, there waa some object tn
Printing them.
Would It ho neceoexry to examine
the whdle mass of papers relatfhg to
the canal from first to last? Would
not an Inquiry by a committee ap
pointed by Congress Into th# papers
relAtlng merely to th* purchase from
the French company be all that fa de-; mono to utter thought and a Joy in
slrable? Would It be necessary to go giving It the most perfect form pos-
to the expense of printing anything?! sible."
W# think the President makes a mis- • q»hl# statement to ua appears liter-
take when he couplea hla expressed 1 ally true. Moot of th# great work# of

Commenting on Count d'Avenel’s
article the New York Evening Post
says:
His Many Rubbtr Novelties.
We learn what Racine and Cor

the Income and what the outgo of
Bollcau nnd Mollcre and Rous
seau. Voltaire ta often held up to
praise as the writer who eman
cipated the profession from ft*
dependent position. «But this It
an entire mistake. Count d'Avcnel
shows. Voltaire was. of course, a
very rich man. . He died worth
870,000 a year—a great gum for
hie day. Rut ho did not make mud]
of his money out of his |>noki.

ulator. and amassed hla fortune
hy skillful operations of vnrloun
kinds. Tha Income from his writ
ings waa comparatively trifling,
and ha treated It as such. He
gave away more of hla books than
he sold. The details henped up
by Count d'Avennl are convincing.
'•Voltaire th* writer did not traffe
In hla pen; he left to Voltaire th#
financier Jhe business of enrich
ing himself."
The French historian asks
the question whether tho
gains of authors have kept
pace with the genera! In
crease In wages, and especially
whether th# Income of writers ha#
hoen multiplied to nnythfng like
the extent of the outlay of civil- ,
tsed nations upon bonks. The an

article. Meanwhile, he permit*
ua to ace tho point of view from
which he will dlecusa tha tnndern
calling of lltarature as one of the
lucrative professions. It Is so.

Heated. Count d'Avenel put* the
matter with a French neatness
which can but tone something In
