Comment of Leading Newspapers on ;
Variety Of TopEcs-Newspapers
and the Panic.

Portland oregonian.
In discussing the financial furry, a
Chicago magazine OF politics remarks
that 1.-THE newspapers did some noble
lyin, all with the best of motives, Of
course-that of restoring confidence"
Results do not indicate that the news
papers did SO much lying, after all. 1t
is true that the newspapers took the
brightest view of a dismal situation
and perhaps they were more hopeful
in public utterance than their editors
were in private consultation. Their
declaration. oft repeated in varying
form, was that industrial and financial
conditions presented no occasion for
alarm and that the banks in general
were sound. The newspapers did ev-
erything in their power to quiet the
people. dispel the fears of depositors
and restore con ence. Subsequent
events show that this course was en-,
tirely in accordance with facts and
warranted by conditions as they really
existed. Beyond doubt. If the newspa,
ners had thrown open their columns
to the publication of every discourag
ing bit of news or had even left mat.
ters 20 drift as unreliable street ru.
mors might direct, there would have
teen serious consequences. By sup.
pressing the cries of fear and counsel
ing calm and considerable action, the
newspapers of the country prevented
a disastrous financial panic just as
public speakers sometimes prevent ca
lanuties Wien fear seizes an audience
in crowded hall. So far as they
told anything. the newspapers told the
truth. II they did not tell the whole
truth 1t was because no good was ia
be ACCOMPLISHED by telling it. II the
newspapers should tell all the truth
they learn every day about the affairs
and acts of the people there would be
great many panics, not only in bust
ness. but in home circles. There are
few people In this world who want all
the truth told about them and their at
fairs. The newspapers have not been
lying and there is no occasion for the
public to iose confidence in them. Or
tile contrary. events have demonstrat
ed that the newspapers are worthy o.
confidence, for their counsel in crit
zeal situation has been found to be
wise.

oIvEs OUT ron PUBLICATION A
LETTER WRITTEN ~ MR.
TAFT IN 1907.
AsSAlLING FORAKER
WAS UNWILLING TO De NAMED
WITH FORAKER IN SAME
RESOLUTION.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-Late Monday
Secretary Loeb gave to representa-
tives OF the press formal statement
by the President. which was called
forth by the recent exchanges be-
tween William r. Hearst and Senator
Foraker Of Ohio.
Mr.. Hearst In public utterances had
accused the senator OF relations with
the Standard Oil Company inconsistent
with his duties as a senator, and his
attitude as a representative OF Repub-
lican policies and professions.
In Mondays statement President
Roosevelt makes another appeal for
the support of Mr.. Taft and declares
that his defeat would bring lasting
satisfaction to but one set OF men.
namely. to those men who. as shown
in the correspondence published by
Mr. Hearst, were behind Mr.. Foraker.
the opponent of Mr.. Taft within his
own party, and who now are behind
Governor Haskell and his associates.
the opponents of Mr.. Taft In the oppo-
site party"
The statement embodies a letter
written by Mr.. Taft to a friend in
Ohio July 20, 1907. In which the pres
ent Republican candidate for the
presidency refused to acquiesce in the
plan of the Ohio state central COM
mittee to indorse Mr.. Taft for the
presidency and Mr.. Foraker for re-
election to the Senate in a single res
olution.
The President points out that Mr..
Taft's attitude has been always direct
ly opposed to that charged against
h~,n e. 4
ing the moneyed interests The Presi-
dent cites the Brownsville affair as a
| case where the agitation was a phase
of the effort "by the representatives
Of certain law-defying corporations to
bring discredit upon the administra-
tion." 1t was, he says, in large part
mot a genuine agitation on behalf
Of colored men. at ALL"
Mr.. Taft's letter. in part. follows:
"'Pointe Au Pic. Canada.
July 20. 1907.
my Dear Sir-In respect to one
inquiry of yours, wish to express
myself with as much emphasis as pos
sible. that Is. whether l would object
to a compromise resolution which
shall include an Endorsement OF my
self for the presidency and Senator
Foraker for the senatorship.
In my judgment 1t would be not
only great mistake-something
more. Itawould be accepted. neces-
sarily. as a compromise on my behalf.
and, therefore, with my acquiescence.
or at least with the acquiescence of
| my friends, for whose action am more
| or less responsible. It would totally
misrepresent my position.
I don't care for the presidency II
1t has to come by compromise with
Senator Foraker. or anyone else, in a
matter of principle. He has opposed
the vital policies of the administration
and in his opposition has seized upon
and magnified an important but Incl
