William Allen White is personally offended by attacks levied at President Roosevelt, particularly in a speech given by Supreme Court Justice David J. Brewer. White, who worked in similar circles as Brewer in Kansas, alleges that twenty years earlier Brewer had sold a receiver position on the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad to Colonel Harrison C. Cross and threatened to fire him when Cross ceased payment. White also suggests that for the last twenty years there has been a concerted effort by outside parties to control senators and judges.
