An Arapahoe man in the Bee thus de-
tends trusts: II was raised in the swamps
OF Indiana and wore nothing but long
shirt until I was almost a man. When
company came to our house I had to
crawl under the bed and stay hid until
they went away. Were there any trusts
then? No, sir. We were not as well
of In those days as the boys are at
present. The boys of today are too dad
gummed smart to go through life in such
a way. No sooner will the trusts build
up good thing for themselves than they
invite opposition. and they will have all
the opposition they can take care of. They
may trust till they bust to smithereens-
money and brains will always rule this
world and the idiot must always keep his
place"
