r HAS NOT PUT OIL LETTERS BEFORE LOBBY PROBERS LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.—Thf following is a letter from Mr. William Randolph Ilearst. in reply to a letter sent to him by Con gressman Clyde II. Tavenner asking Mr. Ilearst to put the Stand ard Oil letters before the Garrett lobby investigation committee in the House of Representatives: Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 5, 1913. Hon. Clyde II. Tavenner, House of Representatives, Washing ton, D. C. My Dear Sir: Did you write me a letter and make the letter public, ask ing me to submit all the Standard Oil letters that l have in my possession to the House committee now investigating the charges of lobbying made by a certain Mulhall t I would be very glad to submit again to the Congressional committee or to any responsible body the Standard Oil let ters which I have already submitted many times to the public and to bodies which more or less accurately and sincerely represent the public. T would prefer, however, not to submit these Standard Oil letters in connection with the Mulhall letters and charges for the simple reason that the Standard Oil letters are very important to the nation, very serious in their incriminations and wholly authoritative and genuine, while the Mulhall let ters and documentary evidence have never appeared to me especially important or serious or genuine. The Mulhall letters and charges were offered to one of my magazines, the one that published the Standard Oil letters, but the editors of the magazine with ray approval declined to pur chase or publish the Mulhall documents and confession. The reason we did not purchase the Mulhall letters was not at all because of tiie price. That question was not even considered. The reason we failed to purchase them was because we had not full_eonfidenee in them. We felt that the more or less innocent or at least moderate wording of the documents did not justify the extravagant allegations on which Mulhall based the documents, and we felt if that any part of Mulhall’s evi dence or testimony was untrue that all of it was open to sus picion. Furthermore, our magazine had just performed what we had every right and reason to believe a great public service. We had performed this service with the utmost sincerity and consciousness and with the most scrupulous care. We had exposed the corrupting influence of privilege seeking corporations in polities. We had revealed the con nection between these corrupt corporations and certain im portant public officials who were supposed to represent the ■ people in office, but who in reality, prostituted their offices to serve the illegitimate interests of criminal trusts. The editors of the magazine were agreed that we did not wish to diminish or discredit the effect of these genuine reve lations by the publication of Mulhall’s letters, which seemed to us less serious and sincere. The Standard Oil letters can not be denied, because there always have been additional documents to disprove every de nial made to confuse and confound every falsifier. We did not wish our magazine to associate a great public service and a vital political exposure like this with an extrava gant series of exaggerated accusations, as the Mulhall confes sions appeared to us to be, and I would rather not associate the genuine with the questionable at your Congressional in vestigation. Of course, I am expressing only my preference. I can control the course of my magazine, but 1 do not Seek to control 4 or influence the action of your committee. I shall always be ready to submit to any sueb committee any such information I have which can be considered of public interest or impor tance. Very sincerely yours, WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. Getting Into Debt Wisely It is foolish to get into debt unless you see your way out of it very clearly. But there is’one kind of debt which is always justifiable, and that is when you feel that you Owe Something to a Savings Account because that means that you are preparing for future opportunities and enjoyments, if not necessities, of yourself and those de pendent upon you.

SMmith Says Coast Route Means Much to South—Senate In dorses American’s Plan. The campaign inaugurated by Hearst’s Sunday American for an all- Southern highway reaching from At lanta to San Francisco received an other boost Thursday when Shelby Smith, chairman of the Fulton Coun ty Board of Commissioners, declared the project to be an epoch in the progress of the South. “The proposed highway from At lanta to San Francisco,” said Mr. Smith, “is splendid and the most com mendable movement for good roads all over the South that has been launched in recent years. This road is unlike other roada, for the coast- to-coast route leads somewhere. In other words, it has a definite point as its destination. “Each State, as well as each town all along the route, is bound to be materially benefited by this monster highway. We have many railroads in (he United States, hut how many really good roads have we in pro portion—roads that could be used if there were no railroads? Expects Laws on Topic. “I repeat that this campaign means big things, not only for Georgia, but for the entire South and Southwest, and I do not hesitate to say I am more pleased than I can tell to know that Hearst’s Sunday American has taken up the movement te push it through to ultimate succes? ” Mr. Smith said further that he ex pected to see great development in the laws, including the creation of a State highway commission, as a re sult of just such definite movements as proposed by Hearst’s American.

Slaton placed his stamp of approval on the campaign, and Wednesday morning the Georgia Senate passed unani mously a resolution offered by Sena tor McNeill, of the Twenty-second District, indorsing the coast-to-coast project. All of these expressions of ap proval are distinctly pleasing to Of ficial Trail Blazer Ferguson, accord ing to his statement Thursday. “We are going to conduct this cam paign strictly on a scientific basis,” declared Mr. Ferguson, “and intend to check up the entire trip in de tail. so that adequate road maps may be prepared, to be compared later preparatory to selecting the very best route from coast to coast. “I will carry several instruments, including a thermometer, which I shall use to make records daily, in an effort to demonstrate beyond ques tion that the South and Southwest Offer the very best facilities for ex tended motor touring, such as Is con templated on this monster transcon tinental highway.” To Make Trip in E**y Stages. Mr. Ferguson declared the trip would be -nude in easy stages, so thaT every detail In connection with the plan for the highway may be exam ined en route. Stops will be made in all the prin cipal towns and cities en route, and information concerning the promotion of better roads and interstate high ways given to those interested. The first official stop between Atlanta and Birmingham, the first lap of the long journey, will be made at Anniston, Ala. The official start will be made Mon day, following a monster parade of automobiles and motorcycles, includ ing the private car of the Chief of Police, the Fire Chief and various city officials.
