THOSE STOLEN LETTERS.
A Oimgrossiunal cmmoil let* is
making much ado over locating
“Willie”- Winkfield, a negro mes
-sengor. who figured in I In* pho
(ographing- of I In* private corres
pondence of John D. Archbold,
the vice president and political
manager of I In* Standard <)iI com
pany.
All of Ibis may.be interesting
and Winkfield may be punished
for his part in the deal, but that
is a very small matter, when re
sults are considered. The cold
fact remains that Mr.'Ilearsl ob
tained the series of letters which
showed that Senator Koraker,
Senator Bailey, Senator Penrose,
Congressman Sibley, a group of
governors and other officials high
in public life* were on the pay
roll of the Standard Oil company
while ostensibly serving the
American people at Washington.
The letters showed that Mr. Arch
bold, from his office a( 20 Broad
way, wrote or wired to his hench
men at Washington, giving them
instructions concerning what
hills to kill or press for enact
ment, what candidates to reward
and what to punish and what part
they should play in running Ihe
affairs of government to Ihe lik
ing of the Standard Oil crowd.
It is not going (o help the ac
cused and convicted politicians in
the least to send Winkfield to j
prison for the larceny of the let
ters. His crime, compared with
theirs, shines as a virtue, lit*
played his part, criminal though
it may have been, in performing
a real service to the American
people by exposing, through Mr.
Hearst's newspaper agencies, the
duplicity and corruption «»f men
high in official stations. .

While they are at if every state

The repeal of the primary law
