President Ignores
the Pith Of Bryan'S
Detroit Challenge

WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-President
Roosevelt has pleased himself and his
immediate cabal, by his "reply" to
VIM. Jennings Bryan's Detroit chal-
lenge, wherein the commoner insisted
that the president prove the charge
against Gov. Chas. N. Haskell, of Ok
lahoma. namely: That Mr.. Haskell, in
the Ohio Standard Oil case, tried TO
bride former Atty Gen. Frank 8. Mon
nett to favor the oil trust.
Here is President Roosevelt's let
ter:
Dear Sir-In your telegram
you speak OF so much of the
charge against Gov. Haskell as
dealt with his relations, while In
Ohio, with the Standard Oil Co.
You omit the charge as to his re-
lations with the Standard
Oil interests as shown by
his action while governor OF
Oklahoma this very summer, this
action being In part taken while
he was at Denver, where, as you
state, he was by your wish made
chairman of the committee which
drafted the platform upon which
you are standing.
I'm my statement I purposely
made no specific allusion to the
Ohio matter, and shall at this time
make none, In spite Of its signifi-
canoe, and In spite of the further
fact that Gov. Haskell's close rela-
lions with the Standard Oil inter
ests while he was In Ohio was
matter Of common notoriety. In
Oklahoma It Is q matter Of court
record.
by this court record 1t appears
that the encouragement OF the
state, elected by the people, OBJ
tanned an injunction to prevent
the Prairie OIL & Gas Co. from
building a pipe line: and that
Gov. Haskell found this out while
he was at Denver, as appears by
the representations for the dis
solution of the injunction made In
his name on behalf of the state
before q court of superior jurisdic-
uon to that which Issued the in
junction.
Up to the Governor.
-'- TN this the governor states that
the acting governor, In his alb
sence, had asked that the hearing
be postponed until he. the govern
or. might return and have an op-
portunity to investigate the con-
troversy. The governor sets forth

Haskell, 40 governor, took the
case out Of tho hands Of the pro-
testing attorney-generai and die
solved the Injunction which would
have prevented Il from building Q
pipe line.
And the very center Of tho
hole Is this:
That, a. Haskell quickly shows,
the Prairie OH & 0as Co. re-
ceived Its franchise not from him,
but from Roosevelt's secretary Of
the interior, Mr. Hltohcock, long
before OkIahoma's statehood had
begun, and that tho president,
knowing tho concern to be a child
Of Standard OFT, permitted this;
further, that Oklahoma Was hound
to respect this franchise; and still
further, that when the company
tried to enlarge Its rights to q
gas, as we'll az an oil privilege, he,
Haskell, turned Il down.

BRITISH Law OPENS
ALL THE OFFICES
To THE JEWS

LONDON, Sept. Elm contradis-
hnction to the unwarranted attack on
the Jews Of New York city by Police
Commissioner Bingham OF that city
is an imposing and well-equipped vol
ume by Justice s. @. HenriQues on
the Jews and the English lava book
which has attracted great deal Of
serious attention.
Mr.. Henriques traces, both histor-
ically and critically, the slow steps
by which the Jewish nation has been
freed by English law from the dis
abilities which used to beset It, and
he has produced what Is not only
likely to remain for a long time the
standard of authority upon the Ques-
tion, but also has simply written an
unaffected narrative, which makes as
much claim upon the general reader
as upon the legal specialist.
The work has special timeliness
Just now. as 1t appears almost con-
temporaneously with the flftieth an
niversary OF the admission Of Jews
to seats In parliament, an occasion
WHICH SudDico MI. AiChiiquOb W io-
view to good purpose the results of
this extension OF privileges to a race
whose elevation to honor was at first
regarded by the press and platform of
this country as a serious menace to
national life.
More than a generation has now
passed since complete equality before
the law was established between Jew
and Christian, and every profession
and public office has been thrown open
to the Jews. The result In Mr.
Henriques' judgment, has more than
justified the concession. England has
not become dechristianized, as many
doleful Jeremiahs foretold, nor has
the occupation Of leading positions
of municipal and civic trust by Jews
resulted In anything but increased
eficiency and vigor.
Very carefully. and with much
| show Of authority and illustration,
Mr.. Henriques retells the story OF
; JEWS emancipation from the day
when Menasseh Ben Israel presented
his famous petition to Cromwell to
=eievation-of- Nathaniel dc
Rothschild to the peerage. Mr.. Hen
riques has a clear and serviceable
style. and marshals his facts with
great skill. HIS book Is a worthy
memorial to benencent and profit
able movement.

reason being that he voted for
good Democrat instead OF bad
Republican, and then the presi-
dent appointed his cousin to NIL
the vacancy.
AS to the rights Of labor tn q
child labor bill and my work In
the interest of labor. Mr.. President
please remember with me It's do
things. With you it's talk only.
You are the same president who
threatened to turn down our con-
stitution because It provides
fury trial In certain contempt
cases. Don't forget. Mr.. President.
I fiatly dared you to make that OBJ
lection. But as the price Of your
approval you did compel us to cut
out tho prohibition Of removal OF
personal injury cases against for
eign corporations from state to
federal courts and several other
good provisions that would benefit
humanity and curb special inter
ests.
Not content with your own
threats against our constitution
you sent Secretary Taft to speak
in our campaign q year ago to In
duce the people to vote to turn
down the best constitution ever
written. We remember that we
preserved Mr.. Taft's speech. II
differs widely from his speeches
Of this year.
Knowing all these things, the
president must pardon us for thus
taking Issue with the occupant Of
the high once we all respect. Let
US hope that In the future he will
appreciate and preserve it's dignity
and not try to reflect upon the
character Of a humble citizen. We
fail to concede his false position
when he knows 1t Is false.
