Now York, Sept. 1. In a hot shot cannonade, embodied in a telegram to the World, and printed over hi signature, Thomas V. Lawson says that not only red haired sirens, but black haired and flaxen haired one3 as well, wer employed by members of the "system" to debauch public and private individuals that chanca throws in tho "system's" path. The telegram is a reply to John D. Archbold's denial that a Titian haired woman or any other was evor employed by representatives of th-3 Standard Oil company for political purposes. Prefacing his broadside by the re mark that of 20 "systematlzers" who have heretofore opposed his views, seven have been convicted of crime, five are fugitives from jus tice and three have died by their own hand, while ho is still doing business at tho old stand, Lawson makes somo broad charges..

After a three days' seance at a well known resort, the enemy was turned back, thoroughly tamed. Of course, there wore others besides the woman, such as accommodating press representa tives, who through the Influence of the "system," might be induced to hold the story of tho escapade out of print.

Answering an attack In the New York Evening Post which accused him of taking money from corporations to buy votes, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in an article in tho Outlook tday, declares the Post's statements absolutely false and says that the editor who propared them practiced every known form of mendacity. "In tho struggle for honest politics there is no more 'placo for the liar than for tho thief. In a inovoraont designed to end the thief's domina tion, llttlo good can bo dorlvod from tho liar's assistance," Roosovolt'3 reply says. "Objection will bo made to tho use of tho language.
