Rome, Oct. 23. A holy war in Tri

tribesmen according to advices- re
ceived here. The savage tribesmen
worked to a frenzy by fear that Ita
ly's aggression is the forerunner of

Will Enforce The Law.
Newcastle, Wyo., Oct. 23i Presi
dent Taft again made it clear in a
speech here that it is his intention
to enforce the Sherman antitrcst act,
no matter how much offending com
binations squeal for mercy
"The Supreme court," said Mr
Taft, "has rendered two decisions
one against the Standard Oil Com
pany, requiring it to be broken up
and disintegrate)!! into parts, and
the other against the American To
bacco company. There are other com
panies that are charged in the same
way. Some of them are coming iri to
voluntarily . divide themselves up and
just as we are about to reach a prop
er and successful admiration of the
law, we find that there are some peo
ple who object to the administration
because of the fact that we are pro
secuting those trusts and we are en
forcing the law. .
"It is a case where the administra
tion is going to be damned if it does
not and damned if it does. Our cn-
derstanding in the administration is
that when the President lifted his
hand and swore to defend the con
stitution and enforce the law, it
meant something and when there was
a law upon the statute books for 20
years to suppress these combinations
against interstate trade, to monopo
lize and to interfere with that trade
and to control prices, that it was his
business and the business of all un
der him to enforce the Jaw, and that
is what we are doing and that is
what we propose to do, no matter
whether we be damned or not.
"The prosecution of these great
combinations that have been tryin
to prevent competition must go on
until the law is either repealed or
the law is enforced, that no combi
nations shall exist which shall be
able to prevent competition and es
tablish' a monopoly and that is the
policy which the administration has
adopted and one it intends to carry
through."
The President spent the day travel
ing in northern Wyoming. He started
at Sheridan in the morning, with the
thprmometer down around 25 am
stopped for the night in Newcastle.
Mr. Taft's speech here was com
menced just as snow began to fall.
