John D. Archbold,
Active Head of
Standard Oil.

MYTH the advent Of John d.
" Archbold to leadership in the
Standard Oil company there has
come a change in the policy of that In
stitution. The traditional policy Of ST.
lence and secretiveness has been ex-
changed for one of openness and conf
dence. AS result the Standard Is
now replying to attacks made upon its
conduct of its affairs and is seeking
public favor, whereas in the past its
policy was to ignore such assaults and
to assume Indifference as to what the
public might think Of its acts and the
plan Of its operations. With this
change In policy 1t Is not so difficult as
1t once was to learn about the COM
ings and goings and the personal char
acteristics Of the men at the head
Of the Standards management. Mr..
Archbold especially has come into the
limelight now that John D. Rockefc
Ter and H. II. Rogers have been COM
PEELED by age and infirmities to lessen
their grip on the affairs Of the concern
in which they We're so long prominent.
Mr.. Archbod holds the title of vice
president of the company. but he is in
reality its managing head at the pres
ent time. He published a statement
not long since in which he undertook
to put Standard OIL in different light
from that in which it has commonly
been seen by the general public.
In this statement Mr.. Archbold de-
Tended the policy Of the company at
home and abroad in it's dealings with
its competitors, and the general public
and in speaking of its treatment of it's
employees he said: 1T has aimed to
secure the contentment Of it's employ
ees by liberal and considerable treat
ment allied with pension system as
surfing competency for waning years.
About $4,000 employees are or may be-
come eligible for this pension. and no
less than half million men, women
and children are directly or indirectly
interested in the preservation Of the
company. 1t may further be declared
that the rights and equities Of not even
the smallest Of its thousands Of share
holders have ever been sacrificed"
Though Of small stature, Mr. Arch
bold is man whose appearance is
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1908-01-20

impressive, and he has a remarkable
head, marked with bumps indicating
strong personality. He is not quite
so bald as President Rockefeller, but
almost. He was born about f1fty-nine
years ago in Leesburg, O., and dur
ing his boyhood his parents moved to
Titusville, Pa. He started in business
life as a clerk in a store. Then came
the oil boom, and with characteristic
prescience the young man invested ev-
cry dollar he could save or borrow in
that business. AS a young independ-
ent operator he Mt first fought John D.
Rockefeller and his South Improve
ment company scheme, the first at
tempt at monopoly, but later came into
the Standard through the Acme OIL
company, a subsidiary Of the trust,
and for his work in its development
he became one Of the Standard lead
ers. When the first trust was organic
ed he became one Of the trustees.
Mr.. Archbold has a country place at
Tarrytown. not far from Mr.. Rookie
feller's estate, and his family consists
Of a son and two daughters. He is a
very large glver, especially in behalf
of education, and to Syracuse universi-
ty he has presented more than three
quarters Of q million dollars. He Is a
fighter, but he loves a laugh and can
see the funny side Of things much
easier than can Mr. Rockefeller or
Mr.. Rogers. 1t has been said that he
laughed his way to success. Like Mr..
Rockefeller, he plays golf and is up in
the parlance Of the game. He is pres
ident of the Knollwood Country club,
and once meeting an old acquaintance
whom he knew to have recently pur-
chased place In the vicinity and turn
ed gentleman farmer he asked him
how he liked living in the country.
II am delighted with the change"
the friend replied. ITO be out exer-
cising in the open air every day is a
revelation to me. l never before real
ly knew what enjoyment life possess
ed put in eighteen holes yesterday
and felt no fatigue whatever"
Knowing that his friend was nor a
member Of Knollwood, he asked him
where he played.
"Play whatY'
"Golf."
II never played golf"
IL understood you to say that you
put in eighteen holes yesterday" said
Archbold.

William Morris In Court.

In one of the London police courts
over which Mr. Newton presided-the
