the efficiency of the enemy. This has

construed and construed. and finally by
the Supreme Court. Tho two decisions last
spring. In my Judgment. give it definite
meaning that any combination i'm restraint

prices and sitting competition is a viola
ton of the statute. Men know whether
they intend to stihe competition and con-
troll prices and all that is necessary i'm a
court Of law is 10 prove the combination
and the intent. That is all that is needed
for the enforcement of any criminal stat
ute. IT is not pleasant TO be engaged in
what may seem to be an assault on busi-
ness. but business men thought this law
could not he enforced. Now the law can
and is being enforced, and because Of this
we hear tonight that IL is TO be repealed
7 would cut my hand off before | would
iniure business. But what has my dear
friend Iittleton TO offer? Only one course
is open Either We will have individualism
or we will have combinations in restraint
of trade going TO that point where the
people will demand that tho power Of men
engaged in such corporations be trans
forrcd TO the government. And then we
will have state socialism. Now, We can
d'sinteerate unlawful corporations and
nut them under injunction. II thcy op-
crate tbcy must compete. 7 know ! am

p, fore that Mr.. Taft told tho Hamilton

realized that the Republican party was
facing a crisis and that nc earnestly hoped
that tho good people Of this country had in
the last election desired only to chaston

majority Of the people determine to in
trust the affairs Of the nation to a party
which was inexperienced and In whose
theories Republicans did not believe. they
could count on the Republicans Loyalty and

administration: albeit, ne added. perhaps
with the hope that having tried the eX-
pertinent for a brief period, the people
would return 20 that party which practi-

ganization plan Of the American Tobacco
Company was filed at the direction of At
torney General Wickersham, during the
first hearing on the plan, held in the
United states Circuit Court, before Judges
Lacombe, Coke. Noyes and Ward The
principal feature of the answer was a do
mand that the government should have
the right to apply to the court for further
relief within five years upon showing that
any plan approved by the judges had not
created the conditions outlined in the de-
cree Of the Supreme Court The govern
mcntS answer did not contain general op-

conditions 10 the approval of the plan sub
mitted. or any other plan. that should bc
imposed by tho court. Tho most drastic
suggestion was that concerning tho stock
ownership of the United Cigar Stores Com
psny. which read as follows: That the
stock of the United Cigar Stores Company
he sold and distributed 10 parties other
than the twenty-nine individual defendants
or others of the common stockholders Of
tho American Tobacco Company, TO the
end that the corporation he entirely sepa-
rated from any connection with the cor
porations to which the properties and husi-
nesses now in the combination are to he
distributed Another condition required
by the government was that during
period OF not less than five years no one
of the corporations among which the prop
critics and businesses now in the combina-
ton We're to he distributed should have
any officer or director who was also an
officer or director in other of such cor
porations. With the notifications ] have
set forth the government will be satisfied
