And Hark Mamma was the greatest
of the trusts and knew all the trusts
and had dealings with them. Ard
when it was come to the time when
no more trusts might be formed and
the overproduction still was, dark
Mamma called all the trusts together,
saying: "Behold, we have it all. We are
but waiting for an air trust and sun
trust and it will be completed. But
the people, seeing not that we are
good and kind, are crying for another
king who will not deal in trusts.
Therefore let those Of US who can, 60
out in the highways and byways and
cry aloud, Down with the trusts
And the people will again be with us
and vote with us, and will say, 'Veri-
ly, we have killed the trusts"
And the trusts did as was hidden.
and all was well. And a certain man
OF the sugar trust who was called
Havemore, because he was exceeding
ly greedy, became scattered from his
fellows and became a wanderer and
was lost, And certain OF his tribe
took him up into the temple and sat
him upon a seat; And he opened
his mouth and taught them saying.
@Verily, / have taken from the people
many cubits Of shekels, 1 am the
sugar trust. I am a wise ding bat.
Blessed are the trusts for they shall
inherit the earth. Lay not up treas
ures for yourselves, but give them to
the trusts"
And the people marveled at these
teachings, and they grew afraid of
the trusts and said, "Verily we have
not yet killed the trusts" And the
centurion, Hark Mamma, departed in
to other lands and said to the natives:
"Even trust hath much troubles,
and the way of the Republican party
is hard"
So the people set themselves to.
gether to swat the trusts upon their
helmets; and many strange things are
written IN the First Epistle of Pm
gree to Alger. And the last of the
trusts was the beef trust, which be-
gat Aegean, and this was a limit and
the people slew it.
These things came to pass in the
third year OF the antitrust law. Selah!

Especial to The Post,
Birmingham, Ala, July IA movement
is being organized to bring pressure to
bear upon Governor Johnston to have him
declare the congressional seat OF General
Joseph Wheeler, from the Eighth dis
trict, vacant and order an election 10 I'LL
the place, in view OF the fact that the
incumbent has left the country and gone
to the Philippines TO fight. Last year.
when General Wheeler was In Cuba, the
governor called on the attorney general
for an opinion regarding Wheelers right
TO hold on to his congressional office while
also holding a commission in the army.
The opinion OF the attorney general was
that Wheeler had vacated his seat as con
gresham, and that it was within the
province of the governor to order an cleo
ton TO fill the uneXpred term. This was
not done, however, because popular sem
timent approved the cause Wheeler was
then fighting for But 1t is now different:
General Wheeler has left the country for
the purpose OF taking active part in
war OF subjugation, and before he left he
announced emphatically that he would re-
tain both his commission in the army and
his seat in congress and that he would be
back to occupy the latter by the time the
next session opened. II is presumed he
intends TO wear his shoulder straps while
occupying his seat.
Governor Johnston is In a somewhat
delicate position for General Wheeler's
friends declare that the movement is In
spired by ambitious politicians, who are
DESTROYS OF removing Wheeler as a po-
litical factor In Alabama. SO as TO obtain
his congressional seat and at the same
time force him to remain in the army and
thus kill off the boom recently started for
him for governor.
But it is regarded as highly probable
that the governor VIII order the election.
which will cause one OF the warmest cam
paigns ever known in this State, Gem
eral Wheeler has many friends. and most
OF them will support him. il 10 limited
that in case an election is ordered Wheeler
will be put up as a candidate and re-
elected.
