Those In sympathy with President Taft's administration claim that tho (suit proves tho sincerity of tho ad ministration's trust-breaking plan, whllo tho antl-admlnlstrationlsts call tho filing of tho suit a graudstand play. Tho Washington Post, John R. Mc Lean publisher, which has always been n warm supporter of President Taft, roasts tho suit today. It says In part: "The suit Is tho most spectncular niece of trust busting thus far at tempted. Its effect upon tho honesv business interests of the country will probably bo raot Injurious. War between the government and its own pcoplo cannot last long. Such strife Is anarchy, and must cease." Chamberlain's Views. Senator George K. Chamberlain, Democrat, of Oregon, declared; "I bellovo that tho suit has already been too long delayed, and In nil human probability It would not have been bogun now If It had not been for tho porslstent courso of tho Democratic house In prying Into these combina tions In restraint of trade. They ought not only to proceed with this suit, but should prosecute every anan' connected with It who Is responsible for violation of tho anti-trust law."
