What disappointed President Theodore Roosevelt in the Northern Securities case?
When US President Theodore Roosevelt decided to move against the Northern Securities Company he was challenging none other than the powerful JP Morgan. Morgan had put together what seemed to be one of the toughest to break railroad trusts of its day. And, pitting the US Government against JP Morgan, seemed to Morgan an insult of the worst kind. Nevertheless, Roosevelt's Attorney General, Philander Knox was put in charge of the suit against Morgan and his friends. Morgan was so upset that he went to the White House to set the "new president straight".Roosevelt was not impressed with the cigar smoking "Jupiter" as he was called. The case, an alleged violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 went all the way to the US Supreme Court. The Federal government won the case in 1904. Roosevelt's only disappointment was that one of his Court appointees, the great Oliver Wendell Holmes voted with the minority.
