Penrose Exposed.
He mas already been exposed as
the trusted agent Of the Standard
Oil Company in the United States
senate. a fit successor to the dis
creditable Quay. He mas been ex-
posed as the venal boss OF a cor
rupt poiitica machine employed
and financed by the Standard Oil
and allied institutions.
He and Quay and Foraker have
been shown to be the intimate and
reliable public friends to whom Mr..
Archbold appealed for assistance
in securing the appointment OF
complainant judges. He has been
shown. while senator and while
a leader in Pennsylvania politics.
to have been the recipient Of a
SO, 900 campaign contribution from

litical favors and judicial immuni-
ty.
Finally. he has been exposed as a
falsifier in an Unworthy attempt
TO unload the consequences of his
own iniquity upon the self-con-
fessedlv pure and innocent Mr..

1t seems to me that this ought to
be enough exposure to satisfy Sen
ator Penrose, and can not see how
the senator can hope to receive any
further exposure and retain his lib
erty. He had better be less urgent
in his invita- lions. Furthermore.
Senator Penrose has no right so
wholly to monopolize the unfavor-
able attention of the country.
