Standard OiPs Active Head.

AS for the other John D., the smaller
one, he Is only wisp of a man, but
with prominent forehead and a CON-
bative thickness between the ears He
has more hair than Rockefeller, fewer
dollars and fewer benefactions. He
seems to follow in the footsteps of his
chief, as he also lives near Tarrytown,
region once made famous by Wash
1ngton Irving. After all, the people
who live longest and are loved most
are not those who take material
wealth from humanity, but those who
give mental and spiritual wealth to
humanity. This truth proved so often
Of old time is being most strikingly
driven home once more.
Mr.. Archbold is nine years younger
than Rockefeller and is now the &C.
tive, as the other Is the titular, head

which he is regarded as the especial

which Chancellor Day delivers broad
sides at the president of the United

Many other men have given almost as
much to this college as Archbold, but
he Is nevertheless looked upon as it's
particular mentor and friend.
Mr.. Archbold has a rather pleasant

"HIS is a story Of the two John

of the Standard Oil. The like
ness between the two men does
not end with their front names. Both
Rockefeller (without his wig and
Archbold are short on hair and long

both are devout church MEMBERS
Rockefeller was born in New York and
emigrated to Ohio, and Archbold was
born in Ohio and emigrated to New
York. One is the president and the
other the vice president of the big oil
trust, but while the tall John D. shapes
the general policies Of the concern the
short John D. works out the details.
It must not be supposed, however, that
Mr.. Rockefeller has all the big things
his own way. 1t is known that one
very important change in the Stand
ards plan Of campaign was brought
about by Mr.. Archbold. This was in
relation to publicity. The Rockefeller
plan had been to say nothing and gath
er in the earth and the fullness there
Of. The Archbold method is to con-
tinue taking in the earth, but to keep
up an easy flow Of conversation and
printers ink while in the act AS soon
as allowed to have his own way the
little John D. set to work with his
ready letter writer and talked back.
Whenever anybody attacked the Stand
and Oil company there Immediately ap-
peared in the papers a letter from Mr..
Archbold saying in effect that the man

former Congressman Sibley to Mr..

Mr.. Archbold said that a mistake
had been made and that henceforth
the Standard would take the public
into its confidence. This was a slight
variation on the manner in which the
public had been taken in and conf
denced before, and the change was
hailed with sigh Of relief. For time
the new policy worked as smoothly as
the oil of which it treated, and even
Rockefeller himself was converted. He
grew more and more loquacious, not
only in court, where he could not help
himself, but at other times, when he
talked only because he yearned to tell
the public all about it. He joined the
American Press Humorists, made the
reporters boon companions and finally
wound up by publishing his reminis-

price Of senators seems to have come
down. At this figure the Standard
could easily buy up all the senates,
parliaments, congresses, legislatures
and other lawmaking bodies on earth.
1t would seem to be as cheap to buy
senators as to buy slaves in the old
days. A good slave brought 81 900, and
he had to be fed, clothed and housed
besides, while the senator looks after
these minor details for himself.
Unless Mr.. Archbold is as much
pleased with the latest turn Of his pub
ltc1ty campaign as is the general pub
lie he will doubtless hereafter follow
the advice of a famous American
statesman and "burn that letter." Files
and presses containing secret CORE.
spondence are dangerous things. The
Intimate side Of a man revealed by
this sort of yellow dog literature is SC
different from that which he usually
presents to the public!
Claims of the Oil Kings.
If the little John D. has been unfor-
tunate in taking the public into his
confidence, however, the big one has
gone On swimmingly. In his reminis-
cences he chats along in a garrulous
and cheerful fashion, intimating that
things are not half so bad as painted
and that he may tell some things
which will put new aspect on the
case. So far he has not divulged any
Of these pleasant points, but has only
limited that he may do so. In a sort Of
inward chuckle he dismisses the story
that he forced any Of his business as
sociates to come in with him or suffer
ruin, alleging as proof that they have
stayed with him Loyalty all these years,
which they hardly would have done if
;, coercion had been used in the first in
stance. He also speaks of the liberal
treatment given by the Standard to it's
employees, recites the fact that the
company has had scarcely any strikes
or labor troubles and recounts with
some pride the provision of old age
pensions for his superannuated work
men. There is a promise of something
petter1n these "reminiscences, however.
Ehere IS not the slightest doubt that
