ADMINISTRATION J. !.
MAY QUIT CRUSADE
Report That Big Business Has
Exerted Pressure.

Washington, Sept 27.-Will the adj
ministration be compelled to postpone
the carrying out of an antitrust pro-
gram that was agreed on before Presi-
dent Taft and the members of his
cabinet left Washington for their va
cation? This is question that is be-
ing very generally asked here by per-
sons connected with the administra-
ton.
Undoubtedly the department of jus.
tice, with the knowledge and consent
of President Taft, had planned to car
ry out an energetic program in deal
ing with the trusts. Under this pro-
gram suit was to have been brought
against the United States. Steel cor
poration for its dissolution. and
against the Harvester trust. with the
view of dissolving it, as we'll as against
several other large combinations.
The great trusts have way. of find
ing out what is, going on here at the
national capital, and it was after the
steel trust and the harvester, trust
learned of the program decided on by
the administra ton that proposals
were. made by them to reorganise SO
as to satisfy the administration as we'll
as to comply with the, terms OF the
Sherman antitrust law, >ar%&
In the meantime, according to in
formation that has come to the ma
tional capital; the. great trusts have
set on foot a campaign designed to
discourage the, administrations from
proceeding with its program. w
The argument is to be used, So IT
is asserted. that the country is al
ready face to face with business de-
preston, and that for the Taft ad-
ministration to, enter on an energetic
antitrust campaign at this time NdHld
seriously disturb business. Moreover,
such Il course on the part of the adj
ministration would, according to big
business, make the denomination and
reelection If " ff impossible.

here next Saturday when the high

AGAINST the team representing Win
nebago high school. The boys have

strong game last year and is COM
ing with the intention of turning the
tables this year.
While there are only six of last
years first team back, this year all
the candidates for the team have
had experience on the second squad

left end, quarter, left half, left
tackle and right end.

| itons on the team are w. Williams,
showing up well at tackle, with
Victor Jones a close competitor for
tackle or guard. Art Weed, H..
Piper and l.. Bowen showing honors
| for full back.
E. Coughlan is out for position
on the line and is showing good
form. Page seems to have the
best line on the center position at
the present writing. ]. Jameson

position in good style.
There is lot of strong material
out for the first team who will be

fore the year is up will be bidding
strong for positions on the regular
