VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
BY Clyde H. Tavenner,
Special Washington Correspondent of
this Newspaper.

Washington, Oct. 16.-President
Taft is demanding to know with great
bravado, what single case of combi-
notion in restraint of trade. which
Ought to be condemned could not be
reached under the Supreme Court s
Interpretation of the Anti
trust law IN the Standard Oil and To
baccO TRUST cases.
There are few who care to take is
sue with the President. The average
man believes that the trusts could
be reached if the government would
set out in good faith to reach them.
The vital issue is not whether the
trusts '(could' be reached. The real
important question is: Why is it
mot single guilty trust magnate has
been sent TO Jail, or even called to
The bar ii Justice? The answer is
that the government does not send
the trust magnates to Jail nor con-
mol the trusts because the
trusts control the Republican machine
