HEARST'S MAGAZINE for July and August* has es tablished so thoroughly the direct connection between Pennsylvania and Ohio political leaders with the Standard Oil Com pany that little is left to ho done to demonstrate beyond all perad venture a corrupt alliance of many years' standing between the oil mo nopoly and the Federal government Itself. It Is to prevent further exposure of this stupendous fact that Senator Penrose now is striving desperately to shift tn others responsibility for the grave offense against public de cency which is exhibited in the lat est revelations concerning his rela tions to the Standard Oil Company. For whatever purpose the $25,000 contributed through John D. Arch bold. now president of the Standard Oil Company, to Senator Boies Penrose in the presidential cam paign of 1304. the fact remains that he received the money only after he had entered Into an agreement with the Standard Oil magnates re garding affairs at Washington. Penrose Sent Advance Report to Archbold. It is also shown in this same cor respondence that Penrose, as chair man of that potentially important commission, actually sent to Arch bold for approval a copy of the in dustrial commission’s report before • t was submitted to congress or otherwise made public.

General instructions thus were issued to Penrose by Archbold: January 5, 1900. My Dear Senator: I have today telegraphed you as follows: “Corporations should not be required to make public the names or holdings of all stockholders. It is an unjust and unnecessary inquisition into the private affairs of indi vidual stockholders and serves no public good. If demanded by creditors, state laws now pro vide the means of obtaining the information. Private cor porations should not be re quired to make public items of receipts and . expenditures, profits and losses. A state ment of assets and liabilities is all that can benefit the pub lic. Items of receipts and ex penditures, profits and losses can only benefit the compet itors.” Sorry to learn today of the report of the committee in the Quay case, but still hope for favorable action by the Sen ate. Very truly yours. JOHN D. ARCHBOLD. Hon. Boies Penrose, Washington. D. C. Then Archbold shows satisfac tion with Penrose's services in this letter: 26 Broadway. New York. February 21, 1900. Hon. Boies Penrose. Senate Chamber, Washing ton. D. C. My Dear Senator: I have your kind note of yesterday with enclosures, which latter I beg to return herewith. WE THINK THE REPORT IS SO FAIR THAT WE WILL NOT UNDER TAKE TO SUGGEST ANY CHANGES. With many thanks. I am, Very truly yours. JOHN D. ARCHBOLD. Archbold told Quay in the sub joined communication why Pen rose should he made chairman of the Industrial Commission, which had been formed at President Mc- Kinley's request to Investigate just such combinations as the Standard oil Company July 3, 1901. My Dear Senator: The death of Senator Kyle, chairman of the Industrial Commission, at this critical juncture, makes it very im-- ' portant that the place be filled by a man abreast of the times as to our industrial and commercial evolution. We think that Senator Penrose should take the place.
