Standard Oil company's $4,000 con-
tribution to the Republican wal ches

from Cornelius N. Bliss that "the con-
tribution was acceptable to Colonel
Roosevelt and that further contribu-
lions would be acceptable"
II told Mr.. Bliss we did not want to
make the contribution unless it was
to be gratefully received" he said.
"Mr. Bliss told us of Mr.. Roosevelts
attitude toward business and said he
believed Mr.. Roosevelt would be a fair
and conservative man when it came
to the test. Mr.. Bliss urged that the
policies of the Republican party were
the safest for business. We felt that
our interests as a business organiza-
ton lay on the Republican side and we
decided to make this contribution.
Later, when Nj. Bliss asked the
Standard Oil for more money-about
$3.50. OOO-Mr. Arcnbold said the board
of directors refused to contribute.

one moment believe that Mr.. Arch
holds testimony is truthful" .; charged
Mr.. Archbold with a wicked as
sault on a dead man; added that
during many calls which Mr. Arch
bold made upon him while he was
president to urge him not to prosecute
the Standard Oil company.
In his last word Colonel Roosevelt
thanked both Messrs. Archbold and
Penrose for making it clear beyond
possibility Of doubt that / am the man
the Penroses and Archbolds of b
country most dread in public life"
New York, Aug. 26.-Colonel Roose.
welt here Friday declared that "Sena,
tor Penrose's statement that George
w. Perkins underworld my primary
expenses for 100000. or any sum
even remotely resembling it, is a de-
liberate and wilful falsehood, which
he knows to be such.
"The statement that the letters and
kilograms to Mr.. Cortelyou," the state
ment continues" we're written for the
purpose Of going into the records and
were not genuine and were not accept
ed by Mr.. Cortelyou as genuine, is q
deliberate and wilful falsehood and

Reoause we are progressive today
there is every reason to believe that
records of the past are dear to the
memories of those who live in the busy
whirl of the twentieth century. You
seldom go into a home for a social
visit Won do not see conspicuously
nlaced some relic of former days, some
link that binds the history of the past
to the making of the present. We We're
particularly impressed with this rel
erence to the long ago and Its heroes
on a recent visit to Mississippi. In ev-
ery home by every fireside, were told
bits of history and shown interesting
relics of the war times.
On one occasion at the MISSISSIPPI
Alabama fair held at Meridian last
october. there was corner set apart
for~ relics of both the revolutionary
and the civil war. On former occasions
where relics have been shown in ike
manner they have been silent speci-
mems of antiquity, and except for their
age attracted very little attention. Here
the owners of these precious memories
were at home to the public and with
beautiful sentiment they expressed
In patriotic spirit the true history OF
real heroes, connecting the exhibits
with real stories of fateful days. The
portrait of Robert r. Lee faced every
individual that looked toward that cor
ner, and at once scented to bring 20
mind the man for any occasion, and
pointed them on to see the portrait or
jefferson Davis. Beneath this portrait
of Davis were the following lines:
"This portrait was placed In front OF
the Meridian cotton exchange on the
day Mr.. Davis died in New Orleans,
December s, 1889, and remained until
tho time of. his funeral December H.
when 1t was removed to the opera
mouse and used at the memorial serv-
ices held in his honor. It has been 4
