DELAvAN SMITH ALSO ANSWERS.
Editor OF indianapolis News Disclaims
Personal Motive for Making Charges
and States That He Will Refer to
Presidents Letter ElitoriaIly.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 6.-Delayan
smith tonight made the following re-
ply to President Roosevelts letter:
THE presidents comments on the
Panama editorial are based on state
ments made by prominent New
York paper, not the New York Sun.
which the indianapolis News printed
at the same time with many other
papers. giving full credit to the source
from which they obtained it. In MAX
ing the editorial comment to which
the president takes exception the edi-
tor OF The News credited it's informa-
ton to the New York paper making
the charge and distinctly disclaimed
any responsibility for its accuracy.
This editorial was published in the or
dinary course of the daily routine of
the editorial department at a time
when / was absent from INDIANAPOLIS
and therefore could not have been in
spired by any personal motive. Dur
ing the campaign information reached
me that Mr.. Foulke had in his pos
session letter of the nature of the
one now made public and was furth-
er informed that it was left by the
president to Mr.. Foulke's Judgment
whether the letter should be used in
the campaign. When this informa-
tion reached me 1 at once telephoned
Mr.. Foulke, extending to him the use
of the columns of The News for this
purpose, but Mr.. Foulke did not see
tit to avail himself of the opportunity
during the campaign. So much for
the personal criticisms Of me by the
president.
THE News will deal edtorially with
the presidents explanation in due
time"

New York, Dec. 6.-Mr. Laffan re-
lows:
THE editor Of The Sun presents his
compliments to Mr.. Roosevelt and ac-
knwledges his active sensibility in
respect to the attention which Mr..
Roosevelt has been good enough to
pay him in his letter to the Hon. Will
liam Dudley Foulke Of Indiana.
Notwithstanding the directness Of
his challenge, the editor of the Sun
declines controversy with Mr.. Roose-
welt. He is by no means indifferent
to the implied compliment discernible
in Mr.. Roosevelt's TRADE, but Mr..
Roosevelt has shown in his frequent
collisions with various persons of dis
tinction that he has an overwhelming
advantage over any respectable antag-
onist In his (Mr. Roosevelt's) COM
plete freedom from any sense of per-
sonal obligation in respect of the
truth. The editor of The Sun is fully
alive to the extremity of the incon-
venience which attaches to a personal
controversy with a man who has
shown himself capable Of suppression
and perversion Of individual CORES
pondence. an act which in ordinary
life would, In the cognizance Of any
club or association Of self-respecting
gentlemen. entail his prompt expul-
sion.
In saying these things we can. not
disguise our chagrin and humiliation
that the person who is addressed is
also the president Of the United States
1T is curious that Mr.. Foulke is a
preferred repository Of these conf
dences Of the president. It was to
him that Mr.. Roosevelt wrote his
memorable letter denying that he was
using the federal patronage to aid
Mr.. vTaft's candidacy. letter which
at once took its place among the most
valued incunabula Of veracity."

undoubted preventive and curative
properties in the case OF malignant
