BUYING" THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Last Saturday night at a big meet
ing held by the independence League
in Carnegie Hall and Crotona Casino.
New York, William r. Hearst read to
the audiences a letter dated Washing
ton, d. c., March Z, 1906" by ex-Con-
gresham Joseph c. Sibley to John d.
Archbold of the Standard Oil Company.
The letter, obviously from one init
mate to another, contains the follow
ing advice or suggestion:
An efficient literary bureau is needed,
not for a day or a crisis, but a per-
manent and healthy control of the AS
ISOLATED Press and kindred avenues.
1t will cost money, but will be the
cheapest in the end, and can be made
self-supporting.
The New York American, owned by
Mr.. Hearst, sent a reporter to inter-
view Mr.. Stone, and last Monday
printed the following under the head
ing Associated Press Replies to Sib-
ley
Melville E. Stone, general manager
of the Associated Press, declared yes
terday that former Congress j. c. Sib-
leys letter to John d. Archbold, as
read by William r. Hearst on Saturday
night, suggesting that the Standard Oil
acquire a permanent control of the

ance.

three or four times, and then no such
subject as the use of the Associated
Press for political or other purposes
was discussed.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.

There was a thin and nervous wo-
man who could not sleep. She visited
her physician, and the man said: DO
you eat anything just before going to
bed?"
%Oh, no, DOCTOR" the patient replied.
WELL said the physician, Just
keep a pitcher of milk and some bis
cult beside you, and every night, the
last thing you do make light meal"
But, DOCTOR" cried the lady, you
told me on no account to eat anything
before retiring"
Pooh, pooh!" said the doctor. that

made enormous strides since them

HIS DESTINATION.

At the courts a case concerning mo-
tor driving was being heard, when the
chauffeur declared that when driving
at forty miles an hour he could, if
necessary, pull up in ten or twelve
feet.
UNI" said the judge.
Then the next witness-an expert
gave his evidence.
Said his Lordship: IF motor car
were travelling at forty miles an hour,
and the brakes could be put on in such
a manner as to stop it within ten or
twelve feet, where would the driver
go?"
Depends very much on the sort Of
life he'd been living" said the expert.

Indications of the great news system
of the Associated Press is amusing.
THE reading of the letter by Mr..
Hearst does expose what idea Sibley
had in his mind, and for him to think
of such a thing is certainly not to
his credit.
THE Associated Press, although
Nh Sibley does not know it, has
nothing to sell. Neither have l any,
thing to sell. The Associated Press is
made up of eight hundred newspapers,
and on each paper are able editors,
who can see right through every line
of news received, or sent out.
OF. course, no one can prevent Sib-
ley writing letters if he wants to. But
Standard Oil or any one else would
be foolish to spend a dollar in try
ing to buy anything in the way of
Partially from the Associated Press.
This should be understood by news
paper workers better than any one
else.
The Associated Press is an insti-
tuition which has the eyes of the world
upon it all of the time No institu-
ton has such vigilant guards of it's
honesty. Telegraph editors, news
editors and other keen men of eight
hundred papers read and understand
to its fullest extent every line that is
given out.
Had Mr.. Sibley taken a little time
to study the Associated Press, and
gained but slight knowledge of its
manner of handling news, he would
not have written so easily about gain
ing a permanent and healthy control
of it. | don't think that it is pretty
thing for a gentleman to do; however
to set about acquiring an honest insti-
tuition to use it for wrong purposes"
