FROM over three fourths Of the

The way to down the trusts is to
make them pay their share of the
taxes. They thrive by tax.dodging.
Farm Journal. The way to down
the trusts is for the government to
condemn them as a nuisance and take
possession Of them aud operate them
in the interest Of all the taxpayers,
the same as was done IN the matter
of letter carrying. This is the only
practical way to do Independent.
The way to "down" the trusts Is not
to down them, but to take away from
them their power TO do harm. Shorn
of their power to control prices or to
brow-beat and degrade labor, the
trusts might become as any other
corporation. The way to do this is to
socialize the money which they use;
or in other words the free aud unlim-
tied coinage of both gold and silver
and the issue by The goUer1ment and
not by the banks, of enough additional
paper currency to do the business Of
the country on cash basis, will solve
the difficulty. No harmful trust can
do business under an equitable sys-
TEN Of money.

It does seem strange that every

The Man Behind the PIow.

AHS MdH DeHAHu the PlOWs
There's been lot to say about the man behind
the gun,
And folks has praised him highly for the noble
work he done;
He won a lot of honor for the lard where men are
free,
1t was him that sent the Spaniards kitin' back
across the sea;
Bit he's had his day of glory had his little spree,
There's another to be mentioned-the man behind
the plow
A bAttlesbips wonder and an army's mighty
grand,
And Warrlns O profession only heroes under-
There's somethin' sort of thrillin in flag that $
.wavin' high,
And it makes you want to holler when the boys
y go marchin by;
But when the shoutin's over and the 6ghtin's
DONE somehow
We find we're still depondn ON the man behind
the pillow.
We sing about the glorioS of the m an behind the
gun,
And the books are full of stories Of the wonders
he has done
The world has been made over by the fearless
ones who fight;
Lands that used to be in darkness they have
opened up to light
When Gods children snarl, the soldier has to
settle up the row,
Andfolks haven't time for thinkin' of the man be-
hind the pillow.
In all the pomp and splendor of an army on
parade,
And all through the awful darkness that the
smoke of battles made;
In the hall where jewels glitter and where shoutin'
men debate,
In the, palaces where rulers deal out honors TO
the great,
There is not single person who'd be doin'
biz'ness now
Or have medals if it wasn't for the man behind
the pillow.
We're buildn mighty cities and we're gainin'
lofty heights;
We're a::winnin' lots of glory and we're settin'
things to rights;
We're .a-showin' all creation how the worlds
should run.
Future men will gaze in wonder at the things
that we have done,
And they'll overlook the Teller, jist the same as
We do now,
