An Advocate OF Trusts

The death of John D. Archbod, president OF the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey, marks the pass
ing of one who may be called OF the trust men
of our generation He believed In trusts and was not
backward stating at time when trusts were less
in favor than at presentat any rate when they were
more the object of public clamor.
II stand unquestionably, he once said, tor coopeTa
tive evolution believe that the large corporations OF
the present day represent nearly this cooperation
than any other system yet undertaken"
Nevertheless Mr. AIchibold did not countenance what
he considered dishOnOrable practices When publication
was made of series of letters written by Nh Archbold
TO the then United States senator Joseph B. Foraker to
representative Joseph C. Sibey of Pennsylvania and TO
other members of congress- showing that large sums OF
money had been distributed for the alleged purpose OF
influencing unfavOrabe legislation at Washington, MI
Archbod made plain his apparently sincere conviction
that these payments TO be considered nothing
OF less than attorney fees Men will differ TO that
bu. Archbold insisted first and last that the practices
of the Standard Oil company, he connected with
them were honorable and in conformity to law.
His connection with the oil business brought him

efeIIer has told this story of his associate:
One time when Nj. Archbold the witness
stand he was asked by opposing counsel:
@Mr Archbold, you a director of this company"
81 am"
"What is your occupation in this company"
"To clamor for dividends"
So his championship Of the trusts brought its financial
rewards Whether OF not believes the application of
the trust idea means the greatest good for the greatest
uunber-nost Of US now believe very firmly II does
uot-the late Nj Archbold must be given credit for
having stood by his convictions frankly and steadfasty
