The original home Of the American
Tobacco Company 10 in Durham. -.
{. Not a suit has ever been instl-
tated In that State under the State
antitrust faw, but the Attorney Gen
erai, who has been so remiss in his
solemn pledges and duty I'm this re-
gpect, has now gone TO New York and
IL being quoted there to the effect
that he Is on the ground 10 help see
that the decision of the Supreme
Court dissolving the trust Is faith
fully carried out.
This action on the part of North
Carolina's Attorney General Is caus-
inng not few smiles and comments
10 the effect that the Attorney Cen
eral could have shown his interest by
fnstituting a suit In his own State.
and that his assistance is hardly now
needed by the Attorney General for
the United States, for the Govern
ment has won a sweeping victory in
the u. S. Supreme Court without any
assistance from the Attorney General
of North Carolina.
President Taft Clear and Emphatic
on the Trust Question.
In the meantime, President Taft,
/ n his speeches out West, Is declar-
/ ing day after day that he will see to
t that the Sherman antitrust law
/ is not only vigorously enforced
/ gainst every monopoly in the coun-
/ try, but also that the decisions of the
court are faithfully executed. The
/ President declared on last Monday,
in his speech at Aberdeen, S. D., that
be should never cease his efforts as
long as there was single monopoly
left in existence in the United States.
He declared that monoplies were OBJ
noxious to our Constitution and laws
and were the enemies of society and
honest business.
In his speech, the President also
defended the attacks which have re-
Gently been made on him and the Su-
preme Court, charging that the Presi-
judges who are favorable to the
trusts. The President denounced the
charge as false and pointed to the
the record of the men whom he had
appointed, citing not only their anti
: trust record before they were made
: judges of the Supreme Court, bu
also since. He closed this part Of hill
speech by saying:
"I have challenged, and I chal
lenge again, any person to cite
case that he would condemn as .
violation of the antitrust law tha
would not be condemned under tn.
decisions of the Supreme Court
'I am proud Of the men that
!. have put on that court. l am prout
to- have found men with a standint
as high as they to take places on th'
bench, and l am willing to abide b.
!. the record that they have made ant
that they will make"
The press reports state THAI thi
declaration on the part of the Presi
l dent was greeted with great ap
plause, though he was speaking t
an audience in the heart of the in
: surgent country, with Senator Cra"
ford, one of the insurgent leaders
present on the platform.
