CoLoNEL'S MEMORY MUDDLED
Oil and Tobacco Suits Brought Long
Before Taft's Term Began.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. Tho editorial IN to-day's Tribune deal
ing with Colonel Roosevolts criticism or
suits against tho Standard oil and Tobacco
Trust cases does not state the whole case
as to the coloncIs error Of complaint lie
calls the two antitrust cases fake prose-
cutions." a most singular statement In We"
Of all the facts. II Is Just such instances
as this one which enables one to under
stand what New York banker meant
when he said Colonel Roosevelt is an
honest man. hut he does not tell tho truth
The records Of tho Department of Justice
AT Washington show that both the STANDARD
oil and the tobacco cases were brought
and wcr" kept pending, during Colonel
Rooscvclrs administration. The STANDARD
OH case was instituted November To- 1900,
and the tobacco case July 10, 1907. The iirst
case had been pending more than two years
and the other moro than year and a half
before President Tafts term began.
Tho nature Of both of these suits was
determined by the initial proceedings under
the statute N - provided By the so-called
Sherman law thai two forms Of cases may
be brought I'm an attempt at its enforce
ment First. cases under tho misdcmcanor
provisions Of tho Law. which carry with
them personal penalties. second those
which may originate in petitions or bills
IN equity Cases under the latter head may
have either of two results. They may call
for the dissolution ot tho trust or for a
simple rcstrainer preventing acts by the
trust which run counter to the provisions
of the statute but not interfering with tn"
corporate existence of the concern
II happened that Colonel Roosevelts De-
partment OF Justice elected TO bring these
suits under the second provision Of the law.
Manlfestly any criticism OF the conduct Of
q case which was really old enough To cut
its eye teeth when President Taft became
President Is not Justly chargeablc to his
administration. The yoluble and vitrlOc
criticism OF the Supreme Court In these
cases is also unjust, because based upon q
complaint that the court passed upon cases
really before 1t and not such as tho critics
think should have been brought.
The astonishing part OF It IS that the colo
mel has such short memory regarding
some Of the acts Of his own administration
Perhaps this muddled memory accounts for
his being an honest man who does not tell
the truth. HENRY w. WILBUR
Philadelphia, May s. 1912.
