“ROOSEVELT WAS EAGER TO MEET J. D. ARCHBOLD FOR QUIET TALK” So Wrote Joseph Sibley to the Chief Official of Standard Oil Trust. ADDED THAT PRESIDENT URGED HIM TO COME He Tells, in Letter in Hearst’s Magazine, How U. S. Sena tor Wanted SI,OOO. Under the heading, “More Standard Oil Letters,” HEARST’S MAGAZINE for October, out this week, gives fur ther astonishing evidence in the hand writing of John D. Archbold and his beught-and-pald-for bosses and law makers of the efficacy of Standard cash in purchasing legislation and debauch ing legislators. In the following leter an idea is given of the flirtation carried out be tween those “Two practical men," Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Archbold: House of Representatives. Washington, D. C., Wednesday, Jan. 6, 1904. My Dear Mr. Archbold: Your telegram received. Sorry you can't run over for a day. Think It most important that you know the situation. The president was “delighted” to know that he had been misled as to the attitude of the S. O. Co., or rather "delighted” to know that the report was un true. I think you can put in a very profitable hour over here. I know who told him, but I can not repeat It. I asked you and Mr. Rogers a question at the lunch table yester day, that, if you chance to remem ber it, may afford a clew. I much prefer that you learn the situation from the president’s own lips and not from me. Urged to Meet Him. He urges strongly that you come over and meet him, and said he wanted you at luncheon where he could have a quiet talk with you. I can not solve the motives of the ones who put him on the wrong track, but he was there and told me the story so far as I would let him do so; I Anally said, “Please do not tell me, but if Mr. Archbold comes over you tell him.” In official life the invitation of the president is regarded in the na ture of a command, and our friend probably construes it so, as strong ly as any one. Should you wish to meet him, or wish not to do so, please tell me, and I will make excuse or arrange ments as you indicate. If you can't run over this week, can you come next You will get a flrst-class re ception and will have a great sur prise. I shall keep track of mat ters of general interest. The puz zle, however, is no longer a Wash ington but a New York one, and the New York situation is Greek to rne. Please command me in any way, and believe me, Sincerely yours, JOS. C. SIBLEY. The "book business” fetched down the game the very first shot. You had better read at least the titles of those volumes to refresh your memory before you come over. The boy has just told me you would call me at 7 o’clock on 'phone. J. C. S. In another letter to Archbold, dated Washington, November 23, 1903, and marked “Personal and Confidential,” Sibley says, in part: My Dear M. A.: A “Rep.” U. S. Senator came to me today to make a loan of SI,OOO. I told him 1 did not have it but would try and get it for him and would let him know in a day or two. Do you want to make the investment? He Is one who will do anything in the world that is right to his friends if ever needed. Please telegraph me YES or NO. Written from Headquarters. Likewise is given a sac-simile of Senator Boies Penrose's receipt to Archbold for the $25,000 certificate of deposit sent to him on October 13, 1904. The notable fact is shown that this receipt is written from the Republican te committee headquarters of Penn sylvania and signed by Penrose as chairman of the state committee of Pennsylvania and was not, therefore, Penrose maintained, used for the Roosevelt campaign. Hearst’s Magazine for October also mtalns seven letters dealing mostly "ith the OU Trust traffic in lawmak ' , and Mr. Hearst’s answer to Sena tor Penrose. MILL STARTS NIGHT SHIFT.

On Sale at the News Stands This Week AMERICAN MEN NOT ABLE “FLIRTS,” SAYS FOREIGN SONGBIRD SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.—Amer ican men, no matter what the classifi cation, whether millionaires or Pull man car conductors, face the terrible indictment from the lips of Mme. del Garcia de Paelcere, a noted singer of Europe, of knowing nothing about flir tation. They are rude, not to say rough and boisterous, according to madame. They lack the finesse of the European gen tleman. It is tljelr idea to haul around by the arm a lady they would charm, when the lady’s arm has nothing what ever to do with her heart. They have not manners, they can not tell wheth er a lady would flirt or not, and the rich ones are the worst of all. These accusations —and more besides —were voiced by the chic and pretty Mtne. de Paelcere on her arrival in San Francisco yesterday from Madrid and Vienna. She began her little speech with a shrug, “The trouble is that in America there is nothing exclusive. The common people—the peasants—are all so rich. They go everywhere, they live in the best hotels and ride in the parlor trains and you do not stop them. It would not be so bad, but they all seem to want to flirt, and even they don’t know how."

It proposes to keep the Sherman act In force —the general injunc tion of the law to keep to the right. “Upon this fundamental economic is sue Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party are wrong and Mr. Roosevelt and the Progressive platform are right.
