COUNCILMAN CONFESSES TO LIFE OF CRIl
STANDARD OIL MAN ACCUSES
|T.R. OFPOLITICAL EXTORTION
JOHN ID. ARCHB0LD. PRESI-
K DENT OF STAND SD OIL
+ COMPANY, DECLARES HE
FURNISHED $f25,O00 10
CAMPAIGN OF 1904,

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Aug. 23.
That Theodore Roosevelt at
tempted political extortion I'm the
Standard OIL company during his
second administrator because the
trust failed to follow up an alleged
$125, 900 contribution with a Sec
ond and larger contribution In
the presidential campaign of 1904
was the substance of testimony
given the senate campaign con-
tributions committee here today
BY John ID. Archbold, president OF
the. Standard Oil, today. Arch
bOld's denunciation of the former
president was extremely bitter,
the witness openly asserting the
attacks waged on the Standard
Oil company by Roosevelt, which
he said We're unwarranted, direct
ly resulted in the deaths of Henry
H. Rogers and Henry Tilford, two
OF the cOmpany's directors.
Archbold freely admitted that
his company had contributed
$125,000 to the republican ma
tfonal campaign in 1904, but he
stamped as a wilful and malicious
forgery letters published in cer-
tain magazines and newspapers
purported to have passed between
himself and Senator Boise Pen
rose 10 secure favorable Standard
OH legislation.
Archbold declared that he had
not discussed the Standard Oil
contribution with either Roose-
velt or Penrose.
Archbold testified that he had
every reason to believe that
Roosevelt knew and approved of
thA contributions made by the
Standard OH company in 1905.
Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of
the national republican commit
tee in 1904, Archbold declared,
told him that Roosevelt had been
told Of the contribution and would
be pleased with a second and iarg-
er contribution. Archbold said
he regarded Bliss as an entirely
reliable and truthful man.
With Chairman Clapp presiding
after delay of 80 minutes, caus-
ed by the absence of a quorum,
the hearing began at $3.50 O'Clock.
The committee Is composed or
Senators Oliver of Pennsylvania,
Jones of Washington and Pofno-
rene of Ohio. All the members
were in their seats.
Archibald was sworn at 9:35
o'clock. He was questioned by
Chairman Clapp.
Il made two contributions to
the committee in charge of the
1904 republican campaign" said
Archibald. "One was for $4,000
to Cornelius N. Bliss of New YORK
and another for $4,000 to Sena-
tor Penrose. 1t was some time
in September. gave Bliss the
money in my office. 1t was paid
in currency. Bliss sent me
receipt, but have not been able
ito find it."
9 Archibald promised Senator
Clapp that he would make fur
ther search and would try to pro-
duce the receipt.

Big Boost to Third Party.
The filing Of these three men
will give added prestige to the
bull moose movement In this state
and. will send another shiver down
the spine OF the Taft-Hay COM
bine.
Secretary of State Howell, a
part of the standpat machine OF
Governor Hay, has refused 70
take WArburton's name off the
republican ticket, and told the
congressman that it was too late,
that he had certified the ticket 10
county auditors on August 20.
There is nothing to prevent him
writing to the 13 auditors In the
district, however, telling them

tons name on the ticket to try
to give 1t some semblance to pro-
gressiveness.
The weak attempt to play poll.

Mother kanaaroo's Bravery.

During a severe drought in GER
tain section of Australia, the owner OF
a country station was sitting one eve
ming on the porch when he saw q
kangaroo lingering about, alternately
approaching and retiring from the
house, as If half in doubt and feaI
what to do.
At length she approached the wa
ter pals, and, taking young one
from her porch, held it to the water
to drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering al
over with apprehension, for she was
but a few feet from the porch where
one of her foes was watching her.
The baby having finished drinking
1t was replaced in the pouch and the
old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace
The spectator was so much impress
ed by the astonishing bravery of the
affectionate mother that he made
vow-and kept it-never again Il
shoot a kangaroo.

BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTH
Two Opinions With Respect to a False
Statement Minister Admits
He Made.

A curiously interesting question of
ethics has arisen over the failure of
a minister to secure employment for
an erring but repentant woman until
he told prospective employers that
she was a woman of good character.
He had often been on the point of get
ting for her the work she needed in
order to make an honest living and to
regain the moral equilibrium which
had been disturbed by her wrongdoing.
But as soon as the minister, in his
devotion to the strict letter of the
truth, admitted that the woman had
sinned, the doors Of honest living were
closed In her face, the "unco' good"
people who were in position to lend
helping hand refusing to run the risk
of contamination, unwilling to fol-
low the example of Him who said to
another erring woman: go and sin
no more"
Now a rather lively local discussion
has arisen as to whether the minister
was justified under the circumstances,
or whether anybody is ever justified
under any circumstances, in telling a
lie. Perhaps few will deny that if this
minister really lied at all he strained
the truth In a good cause and that the
imposition practiced upon those who
refused to give to another the chance
Of reform which they themselves
would have welcomed in their own
cases was intended to serve humane
purpose. All who are inclined to take
an ultra conservative view of the in.

JUDGE STILL HAS THE $50
Condition Competitors Did Not Seem
to Notice Went With Offer
of Prize.

The walking craze of few years
ago gave a well-known sporting man
an opportunity which he could not re-
sist taking advantage OF. He had hand
bills widely distributed on which was
stated:
"a Great Crosby gentleman will give
$50 to the man, woman or child. who
first succeeds in doing the following
task: To walk from the Pierhead
(LiverpooD to Crosby village. There
each competitor must buy a meat pie
and walk around the Big Stone and
eat it."
About a hundred entries were re.
ceived, and the walk took place on
Whit Monday. Much excitement pre-
vailed and great cheer rose as
local pedestrian was seen leading the
rest of the crowd. His meat pie was
soon eaten as he walked round tbs
stone, and he went to the judge fo1
the $50.
"Why," exclaimed the judge, 81
didn't think you could have done 1t

ed the Judge, "and nobody gets the

Eccentric Tides

Owing to the effects of shore lines
and other influences which are more
or less obscure it is very difficult to
account for the peculiarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts Of the
world.
Interfering waves cause once-a-day
tides at Tahiti and in some other
places, while on the ether hand in the
harbors back Of the Isle of Wight and
in the Tay In Scotland there are three
tides in a day The latter have beer
ascribed to overtides, produced by the
modification of tidal waves running
ashore and resembling the overtones
Of musical sounds.

Advice to Boys and Girls

Save yonr pennies aud send them to
the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage th
hildren to be frugal and to have lttt
bank acc )unt of their own, even though
the initial deposit is the smallest possible
sum.
Children who commence an account
on penny, nickel, or dime, often
grow into capitalists later on.
The way to become capitalist is tc
commence now to save the pennies.
