A statesman onco said that nature
an anti-trust law uf her owii.
? *
Ortttln it is tliat natural laws can
not be broken (continuously without
something rrackinc.
In prehistoric nl lines. animals, a
A ? \V
dozen limes the size of an elephant,
were reared to maturity ami tiled of
old age. But they didn't keep pace
with progress, and passed out on the
frontiers of semi-savage civilizations.
There are many who decry the
slaughter of the noble buffaloes in
our own country," and yet it was not
bullets which killed the buffaloes so
njneli as ^hat great implement of
l>e-ieo ? flie plow.
The plow, and not the white .mini's
greed, also eliminated the Indian.
Black Hawk, the great chief, fore
saw the inevitable as he watched a
prarle schooner moving slowly alou^.
the trail. A plow projected from the
rear end of the. wagon.
a 'There is the enemy of the red
man."* said Black Hawk, pointing to
the plow. "We do not fear bullets
because we can shoot straighter than
the while mail. Hut when the plow
conies the buffalo goes, for the plow,
destroys the buffalo's feeding grounds.
When the buffalo goes, the Indian
goes^ jiMe are hunters and not farmersr
Without the buffalo we cannot live.*'
/
Nature .seems to encourage the effi
cient, and to discourage the ineffici
ent. ,
When ajiy business gels so big t Imi r
it ceases io function economically and
efficiently there .arc those who be
lieve that'll will be destroyed as sure
ly as the ancient dinosaur, and as re
lent l?*<sly ;i s the buffalo wa* cMcrmi I
liateJl.
The dinosaur coustiiued va^t ?|imn*
tities'of food and performed no use
ful function.
The untamed buffalo* roamed over
lands ma 11 needed for corn fields and
cattle grazing.
In our own day we are told that
it lake* five acres to *upply food for
a horse. We are beginning to need
1 1 1 i - land to raise fonrr r?>r men. <Ja?o
line and kerosene engine.* will drive
out the horse.
When the stomach and heart conic I
into conflict the stomach wins.
The twentieth century has witness
ed the rearing of giant. corporations,
the vej v size of which frightened some
people. But ii should be remembered
that we have a bis country, with big
oi k t o do.
A* long a* condition* remain a* they

If conditions change, nature will ex
terminate whatever is unproductive or
