The Quebec Celebration.

In spite Of the fact that the prince
Of Wales firted with no other Cana
dian cities and declined pressing in
vitations TO go further west, his high
ness has accomplished little If any
thing in stirring enthusiasm or pro-
noting heartier patriotic spirit in
conservative Quebec. In this respect,
one of the chief objects of his visit
to the tercentenary celebration has
been a failure. Quebec people live in
the history of the past Nothing but
the old French regime appeals to
them. Emulating the example of the
cautious turtle, they extend their
heads and take a telescope view of
the celebration and then retire 10 the

Premature Conventions.

conventions and also delegates to the
state convention. to nominate camel
dates for state Offices, have been Sc
lected
The encouragement holds that
such county conventions are prema-
ture, and that the selection of district
or state delegates thereat is void.
Delegates TO district conventions and
10 state convention, to DC called
for the purpose of selecting cand.-
dates for state offices, must be select
ed at the county convention, which
cannot be held until subsequent TO the
September primary. The attorney
general holds that delegates must be
selected at the county conventions
which will be held after the Sep,eni-
Der primaries.

OF NATIONAL
IMPORTANCE
THE STANDARD OIL DECISION
RoUSES THE PRESIDENTS
JUST IRE.
MAKES HOT STATEMENT
A Re.triaI viii Be Made and the Case
Vigorously Pressed 10 a Conclusion,
That's Sure.

President Roosevelt is determined
| that the case against the Standard
| Oil Co. will not be dropped, but the
re-tria ordered by the United States
Court of Appeals will be made. Secre-
tary Loeb gives out this statement:
| The president has directed the at
torney general to Immediately take
steps for the re-trial of the Standard
| Oil case. The reversal of the decision
| of the lower court does not in any
shape or way touch the merits of the
case. excepting so far as the size of
| the fine Is concerned
There Is absolutely no question of
the guilt of the defendants or of the
exceptionally grave character Of the
offense. The president would regard it
as gross miscarriage of justice If
| through any technicaltes of any kind
the defendant escaped the punishment
which would have unquestionably
been melted out to any weaker defend
ant who had been guilty of such Of
| tense.
The president will do everything in
his power to avert or prevent such
miscarriage of justice. With this pur-
pose in view, the president has direct
ed the attorney general to bring into
consultation Frank B, Kellogg in the
matter and to do everything possible
to bring the offenders to Justice.
Coming like a bolt out of the blue
sky. the presidents announcement
caused a sensation when il was re-
ceived 1t showed clearly. it was de-
clared, that the president is deter
mined that the Republican nominee
for the presidency shall not suffer be-
cause of the reversal of the big fine,
and that he wants the country to
know that the administration has not
changed in its feeling toward the
Standard Oil Co.
His statement makes il doubly
clear. 1t is pointed out TO those who
had thought that, temporarily at least,
the president had passed into a
quiescent state so far as the corpora
tons are concerned, that President
Roosevelt has experienced no change
Of heart. The announcement breathed
the same spirit as that which emanat-
ed from the White House in the days
when the executive chamber echoed
| with denunciations of Standard Oil
and other corporations and "Malefac-
tors Of great wealth"
The president, it is learned, is great
ly wrought up over the decision of the
| federal judges. He was amazed at
their finding and determined at once
10 take some decisive action. 1t was
TO discuss this situation that Secre-
tary Root was summoned to Oyster
Bay yesterday. The president Secre-
tary Root and VIM. H. Taft spent
three hours together going over the
matter.
