Washington, Nov. "a
With a bitterness that lent
emphasis to his utterances, and
at times fairly beside himself
with pent up rage, Leonidas
Merritt told the Stanley steel
trust committee today a per-
sonal narrative of his dealings
with John D. Rockefeller and
how the latter had forced him
out of the copper business in
Minnesota.
Mr. Merritt declared that it
was after he had turned down
q proposition from Mr.. Rookie
feller, which he characterized
as stealing that Rockefeller
called on him to pay a S1,000, !,
900 loan and brought about his
downfall. The crooked propo-
.sition, Mir. Merritt said, came
through the Rev. DR.. Gates,
Mr.. Rcckefeller's almoner.
Il listened in amazement to
it, said Merritt. 1T meant
that several men would be
thrown out Of the company and
their stock taken. I turned to
Gates and said:
Mr.. Gates, you came from
John D. Rockefeller. Go back
to John D. Rockefeller and tell
him that when I steal for a liv-
ing will steal for myself.

delegates for the adoption Of resolu-

sTIcKER AND THE GUTTER
Farmers Union Would Be More Pow
erful Organization " Members
Would Stand Together.

The only thing that prevents the
Farmers Union from being the most
powerful organization on earth is the
fact that the members have not stood
by the organization as they should
have done. If every farmer In Mis-
sissippi, for instance, would Join this
organization. and all would act in uni
son, they could completely dominate
the affairs of the state. AS It now
stands, the laws are made and affairs
controlled to a large extent by a
small minority.
AS one of our correspondents puts
1t, some have drawn out of the order
because they did not get forty acres
and a mule the first year they be-
longed to It. They cannot see be-
yond the material benefits. They
think in dollars and cents.
The Farmers Union was not de-
signed to make men rich by merely
joining the order and paying their
dues, as many seemed to think. But
its primary object was to ameliorate
the conditions of the farmers life. to
educate him to get more out OF his
land with less labor. and to give him
the profits which are rightfully his.
That the union has not accom-
plished this In greater degree dur
ing the five years of its existence is
due to these forty acres and mule"
fellows. II all those who joined dur
ing the first year OF existence had
stuck and put their shoulder to the
wheel and pushed, much more would
have been accomplished and the
union would be NV, times as strong
today
But the forty acres and mule"
fellow couldn't see any further ahead
than the dollar be was paying for
dues. He didn't stop to consider that
conditions OF years could not be
changed in one or two years.
The benefits OF the union may not
be apparent to the forty acres and
a mule" fellow, because he did not
stay with the organization long
enough to secure any, and there were
no other benefits for him aside from
that forty acres and a mule, and be-
cause he did not secure that. the
Farmers Union is a failure!
But those who have stood by the
organization through the vicissitvdes
of its five years know that the bene-
fits have been many times in excess
Of what they have paid into It. and
they know. Also that while all OF the
things for which the order is now
striving will not come during their
time, II they keep on as now. they
will leave a rich heritage to their
children and their children's children
in the way Of greatly bettered condi.
| tons
The Farmers Union now has a ma
jority of the farmers in nearly every
community In the state. But they
should all belong in order to bring
about more quickly that state OF az
fairs. for the contamination OF which
the order was founded
Stick by the organization. Don't
get discouraged because you have not
grown suddenly rich through your
connection with the Farmers Union
The early history OF all governments
and all institutions has been one Of
trials and fluctuations. and only BY
perseverance has success been at
