ARCHBOLD SAYS
STORY is TRUE
Standard OIL Gave 100000 in
Campaign Of 1904
WAS TOLD ROOSEVELT KNEW
Informed That Contribution Was Ac-
ceptabIe to Then Occupant Of
the White House.

Washington, Aug. 24.-John d. Arch
bold told the senate committee inves
tigating campaign funds that the
Standard OIL company's s125, 900 con
tribution to the Republican war ches,
OF 1904 was made upon assurances
from Treasurer Cornelius ". Bliss that
the contribution was acceptable to
President Roosevelt and that further
contributions would be acceptable"
Il told Mr.. Bliss we did not want to
make the contribution unless 1t was
to be gratefully received" he said.
mr.. Bliss told us OF Mr.. Roosevelt's
attitude toward business and said he
believed Mr.. Roosevelt would be a fair
and conservative man when 1t came to
the test.
Mr. Bliss urged that the policies OF
the Republican party were the safest
for business. We decided that our liz.
t~erests as a business organization lay
on the Republican side and we decid.
ed to make this contribution"
Mr.. Archbold explained that $780,
600 went to the Republican national
committee and that SIS. 1000 was given
to Senator Penrose for the Republican
state committee. The s25. 900 given to
Mr.. Penrose. he said, was a political
contribution and not a payment for
services In public or private life."
Asked for $4,000 Additional.
Later. when the late Mr.. Bliss came
and asked the Standard Oil company
for more money-about $3.50, 000--Mr.
Archbold said the board OF directors
refused to contribute further. He
quoted Mr.. Bliss as saying:

you had better make this contribution.

Later, Mr.. Archbold said. when the

Senator La Toilette is confident
that with anything like an average

LIFE IN MODERN COLLEGES
Students Find Conditions Different
From What They Used to Be.

Those persons who form their i'm
pressions of college life from the
writings of the elderly men who see
in the modern college little but hot
bed of vice ad drunkenness. or Of the
ardent alumni, newly converted to
democracy. who see in its simply a
caste system based on social num-
merry and superstitution. would be
much surprised we're they to turn
back their years and enter college to-
day as average youths, with moder-
ate allowances and no particular So
cial prestige. They would find them
selves very much at home, and they
would discover that the largest and
solidest element in college life was
still the crowd of nonfraternity, nom
influential, ordinary men like them
selves.
To be sure they would not find that
homogeneity of their fathers college.
that sameness of intellectual back
ground and college interests that
made college life real education in
friendship and personality. The COL
lege population is too heterogeneous
today, and the interest too diversified,
to make possible that kind of an ed
ucation. The college mans education
today, both curricular and extra cur
ricular, is extensive rather than in
tensive.
But it must be more interesting,
and it makes up in breadth what it
loses in depth. The college is no
more that sheltered world where one
dreamed away four years of ideal life
with men of ones own class and ones
own prejudices, but a real arena
where almost every type of American
citizen that man will meet in his
later life is represented, and where
many OF the problems of business and
management come before him in min
iature for solution.

is wise. will take advantage of his
opportunities and throw himself open
