WORLD LIBEL SUIT.

The most convincing proof that
Theodore Roosevelt and his admins
tration have been free from wrong
doing In the purchase or construction
OF the Panama canal is the govern
ment's suit for libel against the New
York World.
During the last presidential cam
paign the World published columns of
accusations against Roosevelt, Taft
and others. charging those men with
false dealings and Misrepresentation
first, in the purchase Of the canal
rights from the French government,
ana, second, in the expenditure OF
money on the construction of the ca
nal The World was presented with
sufficient evidence to at least place a
doubt on the value of It's evidence that
the administration was corrupt, but,
disregarding the information, the Pull
itzer people persisted in open charges
of fraud and trlckery.
Had there been anything to these
charges, Roosevelt. Taft and associ-
Gtes would have found comfort in the
protection afforded by the dignity of
their high positions which could be
pleaded as reason why the World
should escape their further attention,
but Roosevelt and Taft are too con-
Bclentious IN their labors and too high
minded to permit the false accusations
to go unchallenged before judicial
body.
The action against Pulitzer Is said
TO be in the name of the United States
government. There is some objection
TO the government bearing the ex-
pense OF a suit of this kind, but IL
there are conditions which will Justify

mandfng and exposing unscrupulous

man of great wealth. He has his
millions to act as a bulwark against
the due process of law. Roosevelt or
Taft personally might be unable to en-

should not be called upon to sacrifice
their property rights In order to prove
