PRESIDENT TAFT CRATES
IN DEFENSE OF COURTS
Is Proud of Judges-Resents Charge
That Purpose Was to Have Anti
Trust Law Emasculated.

Aberdeen, S. DIN a speech before
the Aberdeen Commercial club here.
President Taft replied with feeling to
the charge that he had set up the SUI
preme court with the idea that it was
to emasculate the Sherman law, aud
declared anew his intention to have
that law enforced to the letter.
The president referred to the critic
ism of the court S ruling in the Stan
dard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases, aud
declared that nothing could be further
from the fact than the charges that the
statute had been ineffective. The SUI
preme court, he said, had declared that
any restraint of trade or combination
for the purpose of suppressing eempeti-
tion was an inhibition of the law.
Repeats Challenge.
81 have challenged, and challenge
again. he said, "any person to cite
case that he would condemn as a viola
ton of the antitrust law that would
not be condemned under the decisions
of the supreme court As yet l have
heard no reply.
1.-The only answer that has come has
been an insult to the court and an in
suit to me. 1t is the charge that l set
up the court with the purpose and un-
Outstanding that it would emascuiate
the statute. Oh, gentlemen, there is
not the slightest foundation for that.
| 81 am proud of the men that I have
put on that court. l am proud to have
found men with standing as high as
they to take the places on that bench.
and am willing to abide by the record
they have made and that they will
make.
81 can't get much excited about such
charge, insulting as it is, because l
can t understand that the maker of it
has perception enough to understand
the weight of the charge he is making.
/ 81 can not believe that the country
at large takes it seriously, considering
the men against whom it is made.
Law Will Be Enforced.
But now that we have gotten the
law in shape for real enforcement. after.
20 years, L hear another cry that to,
enforce it will disturb business. T. do.
not want to disturb business any more.
than any one else. But that statute.
was on the statute books when l took
the oath of Office to enforce the laws Of
the land, and 1 am going to see to it.
SO far as 1 have the power as chief ex-
ecutive, that every one who comes with.
in that statute, feels its heavy hand. ~
The president against expressed the
hope that business would square itself
with the statute. "'When it does, he,
said, 1--WE should all get together aud
do the team work to bring about pros
perity."

Richeson, held in Boston on a charge
of having murdered Miss Avis Linnell,
was pastor of the Bethany Baptist
church in this city from 1901 until
1904, when he resigned by request fol
lowing the sensational disclosures of
three young women, each of whom ac-
cused him of being engaged to her.
A scandal resulted when the three
women, two of them members of the
church, made their accusations against
the pastor at the close of one of his
Sunday morning sermons.
"All through the Sermon" said a
member of the congregation, "the
three sat together in the front row.
The sermon was an eloquent one on
Temptations of Young Girls in a
City Just after the service the
three women approached the preacher.
You promised to marry me- said
one; are you going to do it7'
" You promised to marry me, too, ,
said the second; are you going to do
/ ts'
And me, too, said the other, cry
ing, How about me9'
"The women all wept Historically.
The Rev. Mr.. Richeson was calm and
said there must be a mistake, and left
the church. Then he went to Liberty.
The trustees wrote for his resigna-
tion.O
"Erratic,'' Says Girls Mother
Hyanis, Mass Thank God, be

Linnell mother of Avis Linnell, re-

enee V. T. Richeson had been arrested
for the alleged murder of her daugh
ter Mrs. Linnell later, however, voiced
the belief that Mr.. Rcheson was moi
accountable.
