KNEW ANYBODY COULD BUY
HIM"

We have received a copy Of the
Muskogee Times containing a Wash
ington special giving an account OF
the meeting between Marshall l..
Mott and ex-Judge Spencer b. Adams
In the ante-room Of the Senate Com
mittee on Indian Affairs. at which
time Mott severely denounced
Adams.
II seems that Adams provoked the
wrath and indignation OF Mr.. Mott,
WhereuDon Mr.. Mott denounced him
as "d-n scoundrel." and further
told him to his teeth that he
tAdams) knew that he (Mott)
knew that anybody could buy him.
(Adams)
The report says that this occurred
while Adams was waiting to try to
get the Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs TO pass a whitewashed reso-
luton generating him from the
charges OF bribery while a Judge In
indian Territory, and 1t further says
that when the committee met a little
later it refused TO pass any such res
olution; and this Is the way In
which Adams is being each day vim
dicated of the serious charges.
From the report it would seem
that Adams did not resent the Sc
we're denunciation which he had call
ed upon his head, but this will sur
prise no one in North Carolina who
have had cause to learn of Adams
insincerity and duplicity, because a
man with such characteristics is
known to be always a coward.
More Is the pity that such a man
is unfortunately in a position where
the Republican party must suffer on
account of his grave shortcomings.

When he wrote this letter, Mr..
Roosevelt was just finishing his sew
ond year as an unpopular reformer
in the New York Legislature. He
addressed 1t to Simon N. D. North,
editor and statistician. Mr.. North
was then managing editor of The
Utica Morning Herald, and had COM
mended Mr.. Roosevelt's course in the
Legislature. Twenty-four years later
found Mr.. North in President Roose-
velt's administration as director of
The census. Will those politicians,
petty and great, who cringe and fuss,
and scheme, and lie awake nights,
and curry favor with this interest
and that, to keep a desperate and I
slippery tail hold on popular favor, |,
