KANSAS CITV. Mo.. Ort. 29. J. L.
Woods Merrill, of Kansas City, National
committeeman from Missouri of the In
dependence pary, resigned that position
today In a letter forwarded to William
K. Hearst, National chairman. In his
letter Mr. Merrill says:
"This Is to notify you that I with
draw from all relations or connections
aa National committeeman for Mis
souri, with the executive board of the
Independence party, not wishing to
have my name connected with ar.y
party or persons who purchase or
otherwise obtain correspondence, stolen
by other persons, for publication, to
the detriment or downfall of other per
sons, for the upbuilding of yourself or
the Independence party.
"Also I do not wish my name con
nected with a party whose affiliations
are so closely connected with other
parties, and whose only aim Is to help
defeat Bryan. Taft wanted Foraker
put out of business and you plaj-ed the
part of 'remover.' and with a grand
stand play to keep up appearances,
went after Haskell, with no proof of
guilt, to down Bryan and In my belief
the Independence party receives Its
campaign money from Republican
sources. I was led to believe the Inde
pendence party and platform was to
advocate the principles of Jefferson and
Lincoln and to build up from the better
class from all parties, and stand for
the better Interests of the common peo
ple and not affiliate with, nor favor
anr party."
Mr. Merrill asserts that the Inde
pendence party has not kept these
promises and adds:
"Bryan and the Standard Oil have
been Its only campaign Issue."
JOHN D. ABHORS VACATION
KXI'ECTS TO COXTI.ME WORK
ING OVT PLANS, HE SAYS.
In rer.-onal Kemlnlscences, Oil King
Tells How He Met Arrhhold
and Other Associates.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29. In the November
Issue of the Worlds Work appears the
second chapter of John D. Rockefeller's
reminiscences, which he entitles "Some
Old Friends." In this chapter he tells
of his early associations with John D.
Archbold. Henry Flagler. Stillman Witt,
S. V. Harkneas and others familiar in the
industrial and financial history of
America. Mr. Rockefeller says:
"It Is not always possible to remember
just how one first met an old friend or
what one'a Impreselons' were, but I shall
never forget my first meeting with John
D. Archbold. who Is now a vice-president
of the Standard Oil Company."
He then describes how about 30 or 40
years ago he was traveling about the
country, talking with men interested in
the oil industry. While at a hall in the
oil district he saw written on the register
"John D. Archbold, 4 a barrel." This
first attracted Mr. Rockefeller's atten
tion to Mr. Archbold. Mr. Rockefeller
gives a somewhat lengthy account of his
relations with H. M. Fhigler. for whom
he expresses great admiration. In speak
ing of the value of friendship, he writes:
"These old men's tales can hardly be
Interesting to the present generation,
though perhaps they will not be useless
If even tiresome stories make young peo
ple realize how above the possessions Is
the value of a friend In every department
of life without any exception whatever."
He excepts from the rank of real
friends those who when we come to them
In time of need say, "I'd like to oblige
you, but I can explain why at the mo
ment, etc."
Once Mr. Rockefeller says he went to
S. V. Harkness and told him that he
might have to call for additional funds in
furthering an enterprise, and was told
"All right, J. D., I'll give you all I have
got."
"In my early days I was always a
great borrower," continued Mr. Rockefel
ler. Then he proceeds to tell how once,
when the question came up at a meeting
of bank directors what they should do
In case more money was wanted, one of
the directors, fctillman Witt, said:
"Here, gentlemen, these young men are
all O. K., and If they want to borrow
more money I want to see this bank ad
vance It without hesitation."
As securities Mr. Witt offered to his
fellow-directors his own strong box.
Mr. Rockefeller, as he passes to a dis
cussion of some of his old favorite pur
suits In life, including tree-planting, ex
plains: "If I were 40 years younger I
should like tn go Into business again, for
the association with interesting and
quick-minded men was always a great
pleasure. But I have no dearth of In
terests to fill my days, and so long as I
live I expect to go on and develop the
plans which have been my inspiration for
a lifetime "
