BOLD TALK GIVEN
IN WYOMING SPEECH
Tells His Western Audience That no
Combination Shall Exist to Pre-
vent Competition if He, With All
The Forces Backing Him, Can
Prevent it.

Newcastle, Wyo, Oct. 20-Presi-
dent Taft again made it clear In a
speech here tonight that it is his
intention to enforce the Shermau
antitrust law, no matter how much
mercy they cry for.
Just as we are about to reach a
proper and successful administration
Of the law" said Mr.. Taft, we begin
to find that there are some people
that object to the administration be-
cause of the fact that we arc prose-
cutting those trusts and we are en-
forcing the law
'It is case where the admins
tration is going to be damned, If it
does and will be damned if it doesn't.
Our understanding in the ad-
ministration of the law is that when
the President lifted his hand and
swore to defend the constitution and
enforce the law, it meant something
and when there was law upon the
statute books for twenty years to
suppress these combinations against
Interstate trade, to monopolize and
to interfere with that trade and to
control prices that it was his busi-
ness and the business Of all under
him to enforce the law, and that is
what we are doing, and that is what
we propose to do no matter whether
we be damned or not.
The prosecution OF these great
combinations that have been en-
gagged In trying to prevent compe-
tition must go on until either the
law is repealed or the law is
enforced and that no combination
shall be able to prevent competition
and establish monopoly and that Is
the policy which the administration
has adopted and one it intends to
carry through"

Manager Emerson of the Augusta

eliminating the English sparrows from
places where their presence is not de-
sired, and is authority for the state
ment that the plan works like a
charm. Mr.. Emerson was annoyed
some time ago by a number of spar
rows establishing their headquarters
up under the front portico of the no.
tel, and though he tried in several
ways to get rid of them they seemed
too well satisfied with their home to
be driven out, so they remained. At
last Mr.. Emerson hit upon a plan.
He had heard that II sparrows were
driven out of their abiding place on a
dark and stormy night they would
forsake 1t and never return, and &C
cordingly waited for night of that
description to put in an appearance.
The night came, and summoning his
forces he drove every one of the birds
out into the darkness and the wet
and they never came back.
