Per Capita Wealth

Sixty years ago the per capita wealth
in the United States was S,o7; today ii is
about s. 800, an increase Of about 900
per cent. While the per capita wealth
has greatly increased the distribution
of it has been most unequal. Sixty years
ago we had few milliouaires and few
paIpers; today we have too many of
both, and both are still on the increase.

They Have Made II Clear That I Am

Arehbolds Most Dread in
Public Life"

Oyster Bay, N. Y.--Col. Roosevelt sat
on the porch at Sycamore Hill for an
hour and half and dictated a statement
In reply to the testimony of John ID.
Archbold before the senate investigating
committee.
lie reiterated his declaration that he
knew nothing Of contribution by MIR.
Archbod or the Standard Oil Company
to the Republican campaign Of 1904; de-
clared that he did not "for one moment
believe that Mr. Arehbold's testimony Is
truthful; charged Mr.. Archbold with
wicked assault on dead man: add
ed that during many calls which Mr..
Arehbod made upon him whi~ he was
president, to urge him not TO prosecute
the STANDARD Oil Company, Mr.. Archbold
never referred to any contributions TO
his campaign fund, and concluded with
the suggestion that the senate commit
tee should make both Mr.. Archbola and
Senator Penrose testify at once concern
ing their relations while Mr.. Pcnrose
was a member Of the industrial commits
sion.
In hrs last word Col Roosevelt thanked
both Messrs. Arehbold and Penrose for
making it clear beyond possibility Of
doubt that | am the man the Penroses
and Archbolds Of the country most dread
