ton is more refined and is attended with
fewer cutthroat and predatory practices
than was the case two decades ago" As
soon as a suit is now threatened against a
great trust it begins to mend its ways, so
that frequently by the time the case comes
on for trial the most Objectionable prac-
tees are found to have been abandoned.
Like David Crocketts coon, the defend
ants come down.
Then, too, the preventive influence of
the antitrust htigations has been very
great. There has been hesitancy to ex-
pand existing combinations; there is
disinclination to form new ones. People
who are asked to invest their money in
concerns designed to dominate great in
dustries want to be sure that the schemes
are within the limitations of the law.
While there is much to be said in support
of President Roosevelt's distinction be-

tween good trusts and bad tursts, rich
men do not like to be sued under the Sher-
man Act-especially under the criminal
provisions. On the whole, therefore, the
conclusion is reached that perhaps con-
tinued vigorous prosecution of unfair re-
straints Of trade and Of monopolistic COM
binations, accompanied by few real dis
solutions, would prevent the more obvious
unfair uses of monopolistic control"
A revised edition Of this useful book
might well be published after the Supreme
Court of the United States shall have de-
eided the numerous important trust eases
still awaiting decision by that tribunal;
and the addition of an index would con-
tribute to its value
