 Later he was appointed governor of the territory, and his administration was an upright one. He then entered the military service again and after a decade, steps down and out with a record that is graced with efficiency and with personality that endears him to all in and out of the service.

ANENT THE MATTER
 CLOSING CHURCHES

The churches are very often severe ly criticised for closing their doors during the hot months, but there is much to be said on both sides of the question. What is the use of keeping the churches open in well-to-do com munities? Everybody knows that the women, as soon as the hot days come, take their children and hurry away, to the country, the mountains and the lakes, and if the doors of the churches were opened on Sunday moning, there would be few, if any, who would attend All sorts of devices have been used to get the people to attend church on hot Sunday morn ings and they have never succeeded.
 In the very small towns, like Som- erton for instance, circumstances are wholly different. The congregation comes largely from the surrounding sarms and it is a relief for the people to get away from the routine of the week and meet their neighbors. Then, riding to church between the green
 ields and ripening crops is an entire y different affair from walking over
 he hot pavements. Most city dwell CTS have a longing to see trees and green grass and Sunday is their only opportunity. So the men whose wives and children are in the mountains, out on the farms or living on the ,anks of the lakes, hie themselves away to the swimming plunge or for I hunting trip in the country.

 Archbold was willing to give this also, he swears, provided he was suf ficiently sure that Roosevelt approved it. But other directors of the Stan dard refused to make the second con tribution. They eveidently doubted the delivery of the goods. Mr. Bliss again called on Archbold, according to the testimony, told him the Stan dard Oil was making a serious mis take" urged him ito reconsider told him the money twas needed, and that if he didn't give it somebody else would He again refused.

 Question by Senator Clapp-"Was anything said at the time between you with respect to your having made a mistake in not having made second contribution?
 Answer by Archbold-"Mr. Bliss was not the man to say T told you SO The inference in the whole matter to anybody who will analyze it was very plain. The substance of it was that MT. Bliss probably undoubtedly ex- pressed himself that it would have been different if we had done as he wished us to do, and I myself have no doubt whatever on that question :"
 MT. Archbold was then asked how we'll he knew Cornelius N. Bliss. He replied: q had known him for many years"
 Was he not man of particularly high character" asked Senator Clapp.
 T never knew higher" Archbold testified, q would trust him with any thing"
 These words complete the portrt it of Archbold by himself. He has j.,st described his efforts to buy Presi- dent and his failure.
 After attributing to MT. Bliss the actions of simple blackmailer and stool pigeon, he says he never knew ! higher character"
 It is probable that Archbold has cor rupted so many men-has dealt in mems souls so long-that he has lost all moral sense or perception.
 Archbold's word as to receipts and as to other matters needs corrobora tion. But his portrait of himself lii his testimony is complete.

John D. Archbold's testimony on the Standard Oil letters was given in a complete special dispatch to the Los Angeles Examiner.
 AS the proof against the political criminals disclosed in Hearst's Maga- zine was by Archbold's testimony yer flied and corroborated by the respect able scroundrel whose corporation has probably corrupted more public men than any other, it seemed to the Elk aminer not only fair to the scoundrels in public and private life who were be ing exposed, but of. the highes import ance to the public that the evidence should be printed as it came from their own lips.
 Of Senator Boies Penrose, alias Tanning" in the Standard Oil cipher code, the Republican leader in the United States Senate, who has been  shown to be the paid agent of the criminal trust, accepting his pay in un- marked 5000 bills or in certificates of deposit, and always acting as it's agent in legislation, more will be said later.
 The important witness on Friday was John D. Archbold, who was pro- noted to the presidency of the Stan dard Oil Company after the famous Archbold letters were written. He is it's chief executive officer.
 It is a portrait, therefore, not mere ly of himself-but of the corporation its methods, it's morals and it's pur- poses, which his testimony reveals.
 He testifies that in the campaign of 1904 Cornelius N Bliss, then treas urer for the Roosevelt campaign com mittee, came to him and urged him to contribute $125,OOO It was agreed that Senator Penrose was to have $25,000 of this for his own uses. MT. Archbold's company had been publicly attacked by President Roosevelt the previous year in connection with the legislation creating the Department of Commerce and Labor and the Bureau of Corporations The Standard Oil disliked the proposed legislation and sent telegrams to all it's secret agents in Congress to have the law amended. President Roosevelt learned of these telegrams, called about twenty news paper men to the White House, told them all about it, asked them to print it. The result was very interesting the prompt passage by Congress of the legislation Roosevelt desired.
 Archbold in his testimony refers to this incident as adverse newspaper talk, coming from Roosevelt" Hel said he was, therefore, unwilling tol give the $1OO,OO0 untiT (we quote from his testimony 'I was assured that it would be gratefully received by the powers that be. I meant the president. I mentioned Roosevelt by name"
 MT. Bliss, he says, assured him that it would be appreciated by President Roosevelt and MT. Archbold swears that he then gave Mr. Bliss the $10O,- 900 in currency in $1,OOO bills About a fortnight later MT. Bliss again call ed on" Archbold, assured him "of MT.

It's up in old Kentucky
Where they never have the blues.
Where the Captain Kill, the Colonel
And the Colonel kills the booze -
Where the horses they are pretty
And the women they are too,
Where they shoot men just for pastime
When there's nothing else to do.
Where the blood it flows like water
And the bullets Hy like hail;
Where every pistol has pocket
And every coat has a tail;
Where they always hang the jury
But they never hang the man;
Where you call man liar
And then get home if you can.
Where you get out in the morning
just 10 give your health a chance,
And they bring you home at nightfall
With the buckshot in your pants:
Where the owls afraid to holler
And the birds don't-dare TO sing,
For its h-ll in old Kentucky,
There they shoot'em on the VIM
