3ANT1-TRUST LAW FLAUNTED.
"There Never Has Been an Honest Ef
fort to Enforce It," Charges the Law
yer—Dreads the Awakening and
Fears an Upheaval In the United
States.
fiamuel Untermyer, who was counsel
for Adolph Segal In the rcccnt salt
against the sugar trust, sailed from
New York with his wife on the steam
ship Kronprlnzossln CVcelk? the other
flay for Hun When asktnl boffcrv ho
Sailed hts views as to a criminal pros
ecution of the trust and whether tate
Client had deelded to press such pros
ecution or take nnj' active part In ald
|Bg It, he said:
"What would be the use? The sugar
fjpmpany has been a consistent law
breaker ever since Its birth. Its ac
tivities In congress have been one of
the scandals of the country for many
years. It has roblied the public and
mined Its would bo competitors Hut
it is no worse than tnany of the others
to its criminal methods and not quite
SO Itnd as some.
"This suddenly aroused virtuous ab
horrence of its methods is amusing. It
gjColdentally happens at the moment to
be the scapegoat, but as the govern
ment has waited until after the prin
cipal offenders are dead it doesnt
•auch matter. Whenever the govern
ment really wants to bring the crirn
fe&al rich who are managing these con
spiracies that are notoriously violat
ing the criminal lnw within the pen
alties of that law, it will not be dlffl
CUlt. There never has been an honest.

ovislons of the law against any of
monster monopolies.
J"The government has had no trou
Ble In convicting and driving out of
business a few poor, struggling, com
paratively harmless combinations that
Were put together to prevent bank
ruptcy and secure a small profit. But
tlnancial buccaneers who have been
•holding up' the country in the neces
•ttles of life, keeping out foreign com
petition through the tariff at one end
and crushing home competition at the
other until the increase in cost of liv
Ifttf is alarming, have remained im
mune until every lawyer who has had
to deal with this big question knows
that the pretended enforcement of the
law is a huge farce.
"Every time tho government has
had a chance to enforce the criminal
provisions of the law (which consti
tute the only effective part, the oth
ers being mainly academic) it has run.
There are always so many reasons for
Apt doing things that It is never Uifil
to find one. We learned that lea-
dl*'

know that the fermented juice of good barley and the tonic essence of
Saazer hops is beneficial to the human family. It is safe to say that fully

of
hops. Budweiser is brewed in the most sanitary plant ever built by man. Every drop
of it is pure and healthful, and because of its inherent food and tonic value it is con
stantly being recommended by thousands of physicians.
CAUTION: To guard against deception and substitution, see that
the corks are branded "Budweiser" and that the "Crown Caps'*
bear the A and Eagle trade-mark.
POD
In tlii rt'cnt fiitll'ition of cor
Iorate dishonesty when e\eiy exposed
criminal went unpunished, most of
them hack at the old game on slightly
modified lines, including the subsidis
ing of a part of the press through ex
travagant advertising at the policy
holders' expense and Jeering at the
discomfited "muck rakers.'
"We all know that the anti-trust law
is being openly tiouted and violated
every day by some of the most power
ful men in the land. There are num
berless secret, unlawful pools to con
trol prices and restrict production op
erating In New York today, many of
them under written agreements that
are criminal conspiracies on their face.
"If a fraction of the energy that is
wasted In smashing gambling house
doors and watching saloons, etc., were
expended In getting evldenco that is
obtainable we should soon Iks ablo to
bring this great evil under control.
"Somehow or other it looks as If
the power of these men Is too much
for the government. Tho evidence of
crimes has been for years aval la No
to the public authorities if they would
go about their task as they do In fer
reting out smugglers, counterfeiters,
postofllce thieves and other classes of
criminals.
"We are to!d by a certain section of
the press, and some gentlemen around
Wall street are regaining their smug
contidence in that belief, that there
has leon a reaction in the public mind
ngainst what they are pleased to call
'.itt :ks' on these criminal conspir
acies
"For the sake of the country let us
hope these gentlemen are mistaken,
for if they nro right we shall have an
upheaval in this country as compared
to which the mild aivd harmless ex
periments of the last administration
will seem like a midsummer sephyr
alongside a cyclone.
"These iools and combinations ore
growing stronger and more numerous.
Individual enterprise Is !etng stran
gled Unless they are brought wtthin
the elatch of tho criminal law and do
stroyod the future Is fraught with dan
gor The only way to regulate them is
to tury them. So long as the presi
dent of the United States can defy,the
.aw by giving them Immunity ana go
unrchuked the sentiment of the coun
try Is callous.
"I dread the awakening. We are a
hysterical, press ridden people, and we
go to extremes.
"Until the public mind is aroused to
a recognition of the extent of the evils
from which wc are suffering and tho
far greater dangers that are threaten
ing us it Is useless to a .' tempt to bring
these men within the law. Their pow
er is so great that they are practically
above the law except when confronted
with nn aroused public opinion. I do
voted my time and money to that serv
ite in the life insurance fight at great
personal sacrifice and with the aid of
Hhe most distinguished body of public
spirited citizens ever got together
witli only temporary results and of
the most i!itwuU*f utor.v kind, and we

There Is no real sustained public sup
port for such movements in this conn

too easily led. I repeat that the sugar

others. We are getting Just about the
sort of administration of our laws that
we deserve."
