proval of the monster which Is destroying
ttils fair country of ours.
And yet the conception of trusts and
corporations were not original with
Rockefeller, a Hyde, a Carnegie nor the
coal barons. It Is but the application to
human methods of natural methods older,
perhaps, than our own l'nd. ours about
which we are now wringing our hands and
crying that It Is going to the "dcmnitlon
'bow wows."
1 It was Josephine's dressmaker, when re
proached by her capricious mistress that
I her latest creation was but a copy of an
o)Jer and discarded gown, who cried out
i in exculpation of the chnrge:
"Your Majesty, there Is nothing new un
der the sun !"
I And It can be Justly sal.l to the pessimls

'concerned that tliv existed before man

a few little Insects got together for tne
benetlt of their kind and clodded to build
for themselves a home that should be
j large enough to accommodate tnem and
j their children and their children'! children
for countless generations.
With their Insect Intelligence they de
cided It were better to work as one; It may
be that the adage which is so potent with
Us to-day hel l t,oo,l In t'mse diyn: "To
igether we stand; divided we fail." and the
new city was conceived and built on tn
bas s of a huge trust.
The first Insect built him a tiny hole,
which was h'.s house; around this he built
a wall; number two built a slnillir hole
to the left; number three to t ie riht, and
so on, slowly, laboriously. IntrllU. ntly, the
little creatures bullded, ami the h..me
grew, oh, so slowly, but ko ilnnly, until
It was as large as a jh-r, lin n us a marble,
(then n an apple and so on, year by year,
;gre,it"r and greater, and after countless
k-enenitloiis. w many that we, with our
limited human intelligence, c.ii not count
I them, the home assumed v ml proportions,
land In the ocean an Islimd t'p;ieared and
Igrew and spread, until finally man In ha
"ren 'Mugs out" saw It, coveted It and
claimed It.
The government of this ureal city was
ion an ideally eiK'lallstU' plane. It was ai-
truistlc In lis conception. Not ne of the
laborers and dwellers therein received
more than bis brothers; they fared al.ke
In the long run, though It Is true that at
one turn of the tide some were li nn and
hungry, but were compensated on the next
tide.
The home was so built fiat two sides of
the structure received the full force of tha
