NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-John D. Rockefeller appears for 'the -first time in the role of an author in a series of articles on "Some Random Reminis cences of Men and Events," the first of which will appear on Friday in the October issue of "The World's Vork.".: " ;': -l Mr. Rockefeller gives as a reason for upcaking now, that "if a tenth of the things that have been said are true then dozens of able and faithful men who have been associatd with me, many of whom have passed away, muKt have been guilty of grave faults. For myself, I had decided to say no thing, hoping that after my death the truth would gradually come to the urface and posterity would do strict justice; but while I live and can tes tify to certain things it seems fair that I should refer to some points which I hope will help to set forth several much discussed happenings in a new light I am convinced that they have not ben fully understood. "It has been said that I forced the men who became my partners in the oil business to join with me. I would not have been so short sighted. If it were true that I followed such tactics, f ask, would it have been possible to make of such men life long compan ions?" Mr. Rockefeller speaksfof the de relopment of the Standard Oil Com pany and says that the plan of selling direct to the consumer, and the ex ceptionally rapid growth of the busi ness," bred a certain antogonism which I juippose could not have ben avoided. , Of the direct selling to the consu mers he says: "TJiis was done in a fair spirit and with the consideration for everyone's rights. We did not ruthlessly go af ter the trade of our competitors and attempt to ruin it by cutting prices or instituting a spy system." , If any of the employes of the com pany were overzealous in going af ter sales, he says that they acted in violation of cxpresed and known wish es of the company. Mr. Rockefeller says that in the early days of the oil industry it was considered a most haz ardous undertaking not altogether un like the speculative mining undertak ings we hear so much of, to-day. 'None of us" he says, ever dreaned of the magnitude of what proved to be the latter expansion." Further on he says: "Another thing to be remembered about the so-called "Octupus" is that there has been no 'water introduced into the capital perhaps, we felt that oil and water would not have mixed) nor in all these years has anyone had to wait for money which the Standard owed. It is! a common thins to hear people say that this company has crushed competitors. Only the unin formed could make such an assertion. It has had and always has had an al ways . will nave hundreds of active competitors. ' "The Standard has not now and never did have a royal road to su premacy nor is its success due to any one man but to the multitude of able men who are working together." In discuvsing the "modern corpor ation" Rockefeller says: "Beyond question there is a suspic ion of corporation. There may be reason for such suspicion very' often; for a corporation may be moral or im moral just as a man may be moral or the opposite; but it is folly to con demn all corporations because some are bad, or even to be unduly suspic ious of all, because some are bad. But the corporation in form and character has come to stay that is a thing that may be depended upon. "It is too late to argue about the ad vantages of industrial combinations; they are a necessity and if Americans are to have the privilege of extending their business in all the states of the union and into foreign countries as well, they are a necessity on a large scale and require the agency of more than one corporation." Mr. Rockefeller recalls what he said at, an official hearing that "If I were to suggest any explanation regarding industrial combinations it would be, first federal legislation under which corporations may be created and reg ulated, if that be possible. Second, in lieu , thereof, state legislation, as nearly tiniform as possible, 'encourag ing combinations of persons and cap ital for the purpose of carrying on in dustries, but sufficient to prevent? ' "'.' Good For Biliousness. "I took two of Chamberlain's Stom ach and Liver Tablets last'night,'and r feel 50 per cent better than 1 have for weeks, says J. J. Firestone, of Allegan, Mich. "They are certainly a fine article for biliousness." For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists MANILA'S SCOURGE. ' MANILA, Sept. 24.
