Coal is now soaring skyward. AS
this is the time Of the year when peo-
pie can do without it, and the demand
is consequently less, the causes of the
raise can hardly be attributed to a
trust" The valiant foes Of the
"beef trust" ha We discreetly refrained
from saying anything about "coal
trust. The question naturally pre-
sents itself, if the price of coal can go
up without the assistance of a
trust" could not that Of beef have
done likewise? And may not all this
fuss over a "beet trust" prove a tenn
pest in a teapot?

"No one can dam the Mississippi.
If the nation started to dam it, its

damage the population along the

but you can build levees and keep the
current within bouds, and shape its
direction. Now, [ think that is exact
ly what we can do with the great cor
porations known as trusts. We can
not dam them, we cannot put a stop to
Or reverse the ind NStrial tendencies Ol

that they will do no harm.
''You do not build levees iu a day
