SAYS ARCHBOLD A COWARD
They Have Made 1t Clear That I Am
the Mar Whom the PenrOses and
Archbolds Most Dread in
Public Life"

Oyster Bay, n. Y.-Col. Roosevelt sat
OF the porch at Sycamore Hill for an
hour and a half and dictated a statement
in reply to the testimony OF John D.
Archbold before the senate investigating
committee.
He reiterated his declaration that he
knew nothing of a contribution by Mr..
Archbold or the Standard Oil Company
TO the Republican campaign of 1904; de-
clared that he did not for one moment
believe that Mr. Archbold's testimony is
truthful; charged Mr.. Archbold with
a wicked assault on a dead man; add
ed that during many calls which Mr..
Arehbold made upon him while 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.. Archbold and
Senator Penrose testify at once concern
ing their relations while Mr.. Penrose
was a member of the industrial commits
sion.
In his last word Col. Roosevelt thanked
both Messrs. Archbold and Penrose for
making it clear beyond possibility Of
doubt that l am the man the Penroses
and Archbolds of the country most dread
in public life"

land the usurers In the penitentiary, q
similar agreement is being entered into

movement is being seriously considered
in several other cities Of the state.
There is not a city or town in Missis-
sipFs having a population Of more than
5000 where the loan shark does not -four
ish, and perhaps the reason crusades
against them have not been launched
heretofore is the fact that their victims
have been chiefly negroes. Many mem
bers of the colored race, it seems, find a
keen delight in borrowing ten dollars
from a loan shark, and devote about
three or four years to paying principal
and interest. A certain old darkey in
Jackson, who has been In the clutches
OF a shark for the past five years, always
speaks in loving and endearing terms of

Members of the bar have concluded
that as the negroes are unable to protect
themselves against the loan sharks and
are always easy prey for a white man
with money to put out at interest, it is
their duty to indulge in a little whole
some paternalism and put the sharks
out of business.
