DEFEND ANTITRUST LAW

Washington August 24.-The con-

President Taft's administration of
the Sherman antitrust law was con-

by the attorney general replying to
the former presidents declarations
at Wilkesbarre last night
"Mr. Roosevelt" said the attorney
general, "has shifted his ground
very materially since he began his
attempts to belittle the work of this
administration in enforcing the Sher.
man law"
Mr.. Wickersham again commended
to the perusal of the colonel a
magazine article by Frank b. Kel-
logg, who prosecuted the Standard
Oil, saying the trust had been act
ually dissolved and added:
II also commend to him the fol-

There is always tendency to
feel that somehow by legislation, by
the enactment of some law, by the
trying of some patent scheme, things
can be made permanently better

Broad street, and Officer Romack put
a shot through the dog that ended
his life. Mr.. Romack thought the

ROOSEVELT AND THE TARIFF

/ ROOSEVELT AND THE TARIFF
The ST. Paul Pioneer Press put
itself in a hole a few days age
when it attempted to laud Colonel
Roosevelt's> attitude toward the tar
iff, and predicted what he would
do relative to disclosing the benef,
of a protective tariff in the pas
envelope of the laborer," should the
people elect him president. The
Free Press reminded The Pioneer
Press that during his almost eight
years as president, Mr.. Roosevelt
did not concern himself about the
pay envelope of the laborer, insofar
as the tariff had to do with it. Now
the Pioneer Press comes back with
the following excuse for the coloners
failure to live up to the situation:
"The Mankato Free Press says
there was loophole in the Pioneer
Press editorial on Colonel Roose.
welt and the tariff The loophole,
it says, is If the protective tariff
policy of the republican party is
wrong now, it was in the days of the
Dingley law, and Colonel Roosevelt
was derelict in his duty when he
failed as president to urge upon con-
gress the enactment of laws that
would disclose the benefit of the
protective tariff in the pay enve-
lope of the laborer.' We are not
trying to defend Colonel Roosevelt
from dereliction of duty. in not urg-
ing upon congress tariff reform, al
