Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-07-13

The manner in which the
chosen representatives Of
the people betray their trust
for money and stand with
the great trusts of the coun
try never has been more con
clusively shown than by the
publication of the Standard
Oil letters.
These letters prove con
clusively that votes and in
fiuence were bartered for
Certificates Of deposit, " and
that United States senators
and others have betrayed
their pledges for their own
financial gain.
These letters, published in
HEARST'S MAGAZINE,
have been widely read, and
have awakened the people of
the United States to the
realization of corruption fire
quently limited at but never
before proved. New and
startling letters in the July
number of the magazine con
tinue the shameless story of
the shame of the lawmakers,
chapters of which already
have been told in the May
and June numbers.
Following are a few ex
cerpts from the oil letters
in the July number:
Editor S Note-If you want to
know who runs this Government,
and how and it is your duty as a
citizen to know-you should read
these Standard Oil letters. We
have shown you how Standard Oil,
with Archbold as its political pur
chasing agent, bought control of
Ohio, and now we show you how
the same thing was done in Penn
sylvania Before we finish we will
show you that this condition is
typical-that the majority of the
states of the Union are controlled
by corrupt corporations.

to the trust is made clear in the
following letter;
March 20, 1900.
Gen. Willis J. Rulings,
Pittsburg, Pa.
My Dear Sir
Responding to your favor Of
yesterday, think you will readily
see that we can not take the I'M
tiative in such a matter Could
you ask Sibley to go to the pres
ident on it? I think he would be
as efficient a medium as could be
employed Very truly yours,
JNO D. ARCHBOLD.
Mr. Archbold and the Standard
|. Oil Company did not like to take
the initiative in doubtful mat
tiers. Sibley had no hesitation
about taking the initiative or any
thing else, for that matter, and
So Sibley was found to be, as Mr.
Archbold says, as efficient a
lmedlum as could be employed
MIR Sibley reported on Con-
gressmen, reported on Senators,
land reported on Presidents. He
sneaked and spied and wrote all
that he had learned to Mr. Arch
Ibold
In the previous article we have
seen him at work in the house
lof congress In subsequent arti-
cles we Shall read his reports on
the President Of the United
States and his eager willingness
Ito bring the first officers Of the
Republic within the range of Mr..
Archbold s activities.

agents should be ignored in determin-
ing the question of taxation.
Make Misrepresentation
Mr. Cabell said they declared that
owing to competition in the insurance
business it was necessary to make
Misrepresentation of facts as to divi-
dends to prospective insurance pur-
chasers.
He said names and terms with spe-
cif1c meanings in the commercial
world were utilized by the companies
and entirely different interpretations
inferred.
1t was represented to Mr.. Cabell
that in fact, there are no dividends,
but merely refund Of overcharges
which were referred to as "divi-
dends."
Mr.. Cabell held the contention un-
tenable, and enforced the taxation,
which will cover not only the cash"
dividend but those applying to the
renewal of premiums to shorten the
endowment or premium paying peri
DDS or to purchase paid-up additions
and annuities.

TWITCHING NERVES
Bangor Man Was Tortured-could
Not sleep.

It would be very hard for anyone
to convince Mr.. Samuel Bruch of
Pa, that he had not been wonderfully
benefited by Vinol. He says:
Owing to weakness of the nerves,
which were constantly paining me
and twitching SO that l could not
sleep at night, was weak and run
down. Hearing that vinol was an
excellent tonic and strength creator /
commenced using it and Immediately
began to feel much better My nerve
trouble left me and can now sleep
better than have for long time.
Il can truthfully say that Vinol has
cone all for me thatis claimed for it.
The reason vinol did Mr.. Bruch SO
much good is because its gave him
new strength and built up his health
in general. just as it does for all
weak, nervous, rundown people-just
as it will do for you If you are that
way.

rantee that it must help you or You

FISHING WITH A STEAM PUMP
Each Stroke Of Piston Brought UP
Torrents Of Water In Which
Were Fish and Crawfish.

One Of the most singular fishing de-
vices imaginable was discovered by
accident in France Though extreme.
)y simple. the system IL revolutionary,
says the Scientific American.
A pond on the farm Of La Marie.
quette. bordered by rocky shores, was
drained one year by the aid OF a
steam pump. Each stroke OF the pis'
ton drew up 25 gallons of water. and
the pond was emptied In a few hours.
and not only was the water drawn OF,
but all the fishes also were transferred
to new element
This was a revolution. The owners
Of ponds in the neighborhood followed
suit. and the proprietor of the pump
made a specially of this sort OF work.
He "let" one of his pumps. modified
for the purpose. The peasants OF the
region called 1t "the fish pump" Each
stroke OF tho piston brought up tor
rents OF water. In which were fisb and
crawfish. together with mud and do
bris.
One pond Of several acres was
cleared OF FISH at an expense of about
t7.2O. The process vas Ingenious. but
as one cannot have his fish and eat
It, too, and as such rapid consumption
would have led to equally rapid er'
termination, the authorities stopped
