For some time past It has been on
our mind 10 give the trusts Of this eouu-
try a bitter armament by means of a
red hot editorial in this collum and we
now take our pen in hand to do so
For the benefit OF our more ignorunt
readers who don't know what a trust is
We will explain. When several men gets
together, for instants, and buys up all
the hogs there be in the country and
then boosts up the price Of spare-ribs
and sawsidge to such extent that the
common people haft to pay several times
what its worth for If or 90 without, that
IS called a trust. Most all trusts are
hog trusts for that matter because a
trust allus acts the hog when it gets
half a chance.
Trusts is more common in this coun-
try than they was several years ago. We
can remember when there was no such
a thing as a trust in our midst. but that
time IS now only a sacred memory
Take the Standard Oil Trust which
John Rockefeller got up for instants.
John he has a corner on about all the
lamp oil there is in the world. if we
can believe what we hear, and charges
for it whatever he blamed pleases per
gal. Even Hen Weathersby. prop. Of
our general and only store has to buy
his kerosene of John. We don't know
what Hen has to pay wholesale for his
oil being as that amt none of our busi-
ness, but we know what we haft to pay
m y~4u rr.l ,,rl-s-t.
some of our business. What is the re-
suit? The people of Bingville and VIC
nifty is paying about twice as much for
lamp oil as the truck is worth. By the
time John and Hen gettheir profits lamp
oil becomes almost a luxury as you
might say and consequently it is cheap
er TO burn taller candles than to burn
lamp oil. Only the rich can afford to
burn lamp oil, as it were. Taller can
dies don't give quite as much light as
lamp oil does, but they give a alfred
sight more light for the money. Hen
could sell more lamp oil if it wasn't
for the oil trust Hen might probably
sell bari of lamp oil in a year if the
price was within reach of all, but as If

years and its half full as yet.
We are not afeard to come right out
and denounce trusts in this manner. Il
has always been the policy OF the Bugle
to denounce anything that is detrimental
10 the community! espeshially when we
don't own no stock in the trusts and
have no other valid reasons for not de-
nouncing them. We understand that the
Standard Oil Trust has paid large sums
of money to the editors of certain news
papers TO have them keep their mouths
shet and not say anything against the
trusts.
AS for US. we have never received
any sucli q proposition from Rockefeller
although We go to the P. o. every day
regula,f for our mail. OF course if we
should get such a proposition we would
consi'er it conscienshiously.
What do we care if this editorial does
inju,e the business of the trusts in this
cou5try? We reply "Nothing~ On the
contrary we hope it will injure them.
Va hope that when the big trust mag
naCes read these lines they will cringe
in their boots and that their conscieHces

Dull in Docs Line

Doc Livermere, cur human speshialist
& horse doctor. says there Is not as much
sickness in our midst q. present as he
could wish for but that he hopes that
business vii! pick up soma In the near
future. Doc says that heretofore during
very hot weather there has usually been
several cases in and about BingvilIe of
prominent citizens and others being over
come by the heat which has give him con-
siderable to do. but that this year is
an excepshion. II our editorial memory
serves US correctly We don't seem to
have any recollecshion of Bingville folks
being overcome with the heat in the past
1T must of been something else that
Doc referred to. Shade Is too much in
demand among Bingyillians for them TO
ever be overcome by the heat. Sun
stroke in Bingville Is almost as skeerce
as hyderofobia.

got a cold being as he is some deef) and
has a bad cough and is very miserable.
Hen is afeard the cold will settle on his
lungs and give him newmonya or con-

has took oath that If he RECEIVERS from
this cold and gets to be well man again
he will never have his hair cut nor his
whiskers shaved off again as long as he
lives no matter what the style is.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure 10 all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure Is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
tion and assisting nature in doing It's
work. The proprletors have SO much
faith In its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

FAILED IN BUSINESS.

Some people wonder why he failed.
He lost all he had and his family were
penniless. People were sorry for
them and they were sorry for them
selves, but yet it did no good. He
went into business without the pro-
per preparation. His education was
not practical, neither did he under
stand modern business methods. The
other fellow got his money, and he
came down face tn face with disaster.
1t is better to be prepared. II you
need practical business education
you could do no better than to attend
the Northwestern Business College of
Spokane for few months, because
here you can learn the modern ways
of doing business and thus save both
time and money. n22tf

EVERY year as the Christmas
festival approaches there is a
disposition on the part OF many
people to wait until the last day
to purchase their stock OF pres
ents. This always results in the
stores being oyer-crowded with
buyers the last few days, so that
the clerks are unable to give
each customer the prompt at
tention which they otherwise
could. By making selections
early the Christmas shopper can
avoid the rush and get better
satisfaction. The Rathdru m

"Laissez faire" is a term met
with frequently in books on polit-

in conversation or in political
speeches. 1t is term that means
to let alone, and among economists
it implies that policy which does
not disturb the existing order of

Its own way, trusting that society
will in its own way and in its own
time find a proper adjustment and
