President Taft Disappointed by Supreme Court Oil Ruling
Special to The New York Times Washington May 16 President Taft showed disappointment over the Supreme Court decision in the Standard Oil case but avoided discussion. He emphasized that once a decision is rendered it becomes the law of the land and urged citizens to bow to it. He contrasted his views with Chief Justice White's reasoning while Senate debates referenced an old message about not drawing a legal line to separate good and bad trusts.
