Meanest Demagogue That Has Ever

by the Americans, Hut He Can't
Silence the World. ?
New York, Dec. 15\?The World
in tiie course of its answer to President
Roosevelt's reference to th/t
paper in his special message to
congress today says:
"Mr. Roosevelt is mistaken. He
can not muzzle The World.
"While no amount of billingsgate
011 his part can alter our determination
to treat him with judicial
impartiality and scrupulous fairness,
we repeat what we have already
said, that the congress of the United
States should make a thorough investigation;
that the full truth may
be known to the Aui^Rcan people.
"The World fully appreciates the

statement when ho declares to congress
that the proprietor of The
World should he prosecuted for lihel

hat. the attorney general has under
consideration the form under whim
the proceeding against Mr. Pulitzer
shall he brought.
"This is the first time a president.
ever assorted the doctrine of
lose majeste or proposed, in the
absence of specific legislation, the
criminal prosecution by the government
of citizens who criticized the
conduct of the government or the
conduct of individuals who may have
had business dealings with the government.
Neither the king of Great
Britain nor the German emperor
would venture to arrogate such power
to himself. John Adams' attempt
to ohfocro the sedition law destroyed
the Federalist party in America.
Yet Mr. Roosevelt, in the absence of
law. proposes to use all the power
of the greatest government on earth
to cripple the freedom of the press
'on the pretext that the government
mis been libeled?and he is the government.
"It is true that The World printed
the public report concerning the
Panama canal affair whim resulted
from William Nelson Cromwell's an
peal to the rtistriot attorney's ofTioo
during tlio recent campaign to prevent
I lie pnhlication of a story which
was said to be in the hands of till
Democratic national committee. It
was Mr. Cromwell's own act which
raised the issue in the campaign.
"it is true that when Mr. Roosevelt
made attack upon Pelavan
Smith The World called atention to
certa:n statements which Mr. Roose
volt must have known to he false
or misleading and appealed to congress
to end all scandal l>y a full
and imparted investigation. If this
he treasoi, let Mr. Roosevelt make
the most of it.
"Mr. Roosevelt's lamentable habit
of inaccurate statements makes is
impossible to accent either his judgments
or his conclusions. In his
message lie does not state correctly
even so simple a matter as tlie pretended
causes of his grievance. The
World has never said that Charles
P. Taft. or Douglas Rahinson made
any profits whatever. .Jr. Taft denied
that he was concerned in the
transaction in any way, which d 3nial
The World published and accepted.
it would have been equally
glad to print Mr. Robinson's denial
could it have succeeded in obtaining
one from him as it frequently
attempted.
"The World lias no evidence that
ho was associated with Mr. Cromwell
and would accept his word to
that effect, for Mr. Robinson is sin
estimable gentleman of high character,
whose reputation for veraeitv
is inflnitelv hotter thnn tbnt r > f
his distinguished brother-in-law.
"If The World has libeled anybody
wo hope it will be punished,
but wo do not intend to be intimidated
by Mr. Roosevelt's threats or
by Mr. Roosevelt's denunciations,
or bv Mr. Roosevelt's power.
"No other living man ever so
grossely libeled the United States as
does this president, who besmirches
congress, bulldozes judges, assnila
he integrity of courts, slanders priY'
ito citizens and who has shown
himself the most reckless, unscrupulous
demagogue whom the American
people ever trusted with great power
and authority.
"We say this not in anger but
in sincere sorrow. The World has
immeasurably more respect for the
office of president 0! the Unite-.l
States than Theodore Roosevelt has
ever shown during, the yours in whicn
he, has reign of terror and villifled
the honor and honesty of both public
officials and private citizens, who
opposed his policies or thwarted him
in bis puropses.
"So far as The World is concentrated,

SAYS PULITZER LIES
,\lm>111 and Slanders (lie Nation
When lie Charges a Ileal in lite
lluying of the Panama Canal
and Suit W ill he liroiight Against
llim Says the I resident.
Washington, Dec. 15.? President
ItoosevclL today sent to the Senat
a statement concerning the purchase
of the Panama canal property by the
Pr.ited Slates, denouncing in stroi ;;
language the charges that there was
anything wrong in the acquisit Ion
by the Pnlted States of the canal
property.
"Those stories," he continue <.
"were first brought to my attention
as published in a paper in Indianapolis
called The News, edited hv
Mr. Deiavan Smith. The stories wo <
scurrilous and libelous in char n t<
and false in every essential particilar.
"Smith shelters himself behind tin
excuse that he merely accepted ' h
sta'em nts which had appeared in
a paper published in New York
'The World' owned by Joseph
Pulitzer."
Summarizing the charges made in
this connection the President says
in part: "Thise statements sametimes
appeared in editorials, yoim tinus
in the shane of emit cihni ioe
from individuals, either unknown or
known to he of had character.
"They arc false in every particular
from beginning to end. The
wickedness of these slanders is oi: 1 ?*
surpassed hy their fatuity. So utterly
hasel >ss are the stories th: t
apparent ly they represent in pavt
merely the material colleeteil foi
campaign purposes and in part stories
originally competed with a view
of possible blackmail."
The President adds: "Now there
stores as a matter of fac,L. n< d no
invi stigation whatever; no shadow
of pr< of has be n or can he produced
in behalf of any of tbein; tliey ccsist
simply of a string of inianio...-,
libels. In form tbev are in p.ut
libels upon individuals, upon M
Taft and Mr. ltobinson. for instance;
but tiny are in fact wholly and in
form partly, libel upon the \"nlt? I
Stat?i government. 1 do not believe
we should concern ourselves with
the partieular Individuals who wrote
the lying and libelous editorials,
articles from correspondents or articles
in the n ws columns.
"The real offender is Mr. .losej h
Prlit. er, editor and propri tor <>f
'The World.' While the criminal
off- use of which Pulitzer has h> :i
gui'tv i in the form of libel upon
individuals, the great injury done
is i:i hlaelc ning the good name of

l?e left to a private citizen to sue
P<dit/.? r for 1 ilx*l. 11o should
prose ciitod for libel by tho g >vorninontnl
authorities."
Tim president continued: "It is
therefore :i high national duty to
bring to justice this viiiifler of tie*
American people."
The President says: "The Attorney
General lias under consideration
the form in which tho proceedings
against Mr. Pulitzer shall lie
brought."
Tho president then explains tho
method of concluding tin* purchase,
saying tho transaction was carried
through by the then Attorney Clfeberal
Knox and not by Mr. Hay or
Mr. Root. The President accepts
till tho responsibility for carrying
onf the will of Congress. lie say-that
