EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Plague Take It! Why Doesn't It Stay Down, George? - A Satirical Take on the Sherman Antitrust Act and Monopolies, 1911" This illustration, published on November 8, 1911, offers a humorous commentary on the ongoing debates surrounding monopolies and the role of antitrust laws in regulating them. The image features President William Howard Taft standing behind a chair, with Attorney General George W. Wickersham standing on it and attempting to hit a toy labeled "Monopoly" with a stick labeled "Sherman Law." The Monopoly toy, in turn, is depicted as a wealthy businessman sitting in a bowl and holding money bags. Hanging on the wall is a sectional view of the toy, revealing that it is weighted at the bottom with the label "High Protection - The Reason Why it doesn't stay down when Wickersham hits it." The illustration is a clever play on words, with the phrase "Plague Take It!" likely referring to the frustration and exasperation felt by those trying to regulate monopolies and the seemingly unyielding nature of these powerful business entities. The use of the Sherman Antitrust Act as a weapon to "beat down" the Monopoly toy symbolizes the government's efforts to enforce antitrust laws and prevent monopolies from dominating industries. However, the weighted Monopoly toy, with its label "High Protection," highlights the challenges faced by antitrust enforcers in dismantling these powerful business structures. The illustration serves as a reminder of the ongoing debates and tensions surrounding monopolies and antitrust laws during this period in American history.
