Attorney General Moody, after long rest
up in New England, will soon be back at
his desk 10 stay. and his coming will be
the signal for a forward movement. 1t Is
assumed at the Department OF Justice that
his recent visit to Oyster Bay had to do
with the details of the antitrust cam
paign. It is now well understood that the
president is determined that this night
against the trusts shall be fought to a
finish. He is not making war on cap
ital; he is insisting that the laws relating
to the business OF the great corporations
shall be obeyed. The antitrust campaign
under way Is by far the most pretentious
the government has ever entered upon.
Large responsibilities have been placed
on Attorney General Moody, who must
direct the fight. II he wins all along the
line he will go down in history as a great
attorney general; II he shall fail his ad-
mnlstraton will be remembered only be-
cause of the failure. 1t Is we'll under
stood that Mr.. Moody would like to return
to private life and to the practice OF his

to wind up this antitrust program before
he quits the office.

Humors of the Law.

One day as John w. Mugridge the law
yer, and Judge Minot were walking along
the street in Concord, New Hampshire,
together, Mr., Mugridge. in his sepulchral
voice said: Judge, let's go into partnership.
You furnish the capital and I'll furnish the
brains"
The Judge quickly pulled two-cent piece
from his pocket. and , holding 1t in the
palm of his hand, said to Mugridge: Very

Fight Against Standard OIL.


The fight against the Standard OIL COM
pany Is the most important the govern
ment Is waging. 1t has not been allowed
to lag during the hot weather. During
the vacation season three federal grand
| juries-at jamestown, N. Y, Cleveland
and Chicago-have been sitting evidence
presented by the governments agents. 1t
| is an unusual thing for the Department OF
| Justice to be compelling grand juries to sit
during the months of July and August.
| The departments explanation is that 1t
did not want the evidence in hand to get
cold" evidently 1t felt that It was a good
time to set the juries to work while the
public mind was riveted on revelations of
the investigation conducted by the Bureau
of Corporations. The popular impression
is that the government will not ind 1t
easy to cripple the oil trust. Unquestion-
ably the Department OF Justice realizes
that II will meet with many obstacles.
But 1t proposes to make heroic effort
to infiict punishment Later In the year
all the evidence collected by the bureau of
corporations on which the legal advisers
of the government believe indictments and
convictisns can be secured will be laid be-
fore the grand juries. 1t is the private
| opinion of attorneys connected with these
| prosecutions tndt III tne government can
not severely punish the Standard OIL on
the evidence gathered by Commissioner
| Garfield IT will not be worth while ever
again to attempt to punish the corpora
ton. The Department Of Justice In FORE
warned that the trust proposes TO fight
and fight hard against any punishment be-
ing inflicted. No one identified with the
present fight against the company expects
to witness definite results this fall. II
It is a fight to the finish. as 1t surely will
be, It may take several years to determine
the final outcome.
While the Department of Justice is en-
deavoring to secure some copper ribbed In
dctments against the Standard Oil COM
pany It will also be engaged in the trial OF
numerous antitrust cases that are already
In court. These trials will probably con-
sumo much of the time of federal courts
in some of the districts during the fall and
winter. The cases are pretty we'll scattered
over the country. The Wholesale Grocers
association Is being prosecuted in the
southern district Of Florida. The members
of the association have iled answers, and
the case has been continued from time tc
time. 1t will be heard at the next term Of
the court.
