Victor 1 Itorger, socialist congressman from Wisconsin:
"They mlKht as well try to dissolve Iho Atlantic ocean. Tho decision
amounts to nothing. They simply ennnot dissolve the Standard Oil com

In the presidential primaries the re
publicans and democrats wilt bo given
opportunity to express at Iho polls their
preference for the nominations for pres
ident nml vice president. This Is the
first time that such an opportunity has
been afforded in any state, nnd the peo
ple voted themselves this privilege last
November, when tho bill was Initiated
and became a law. It Is part of the
"Oregon system." At the same time
the voters will select delegates to the
national conventions of tho two lead
ing parties, and these delegates are
bound to carry out tho wUhes of the
voters of their respective parties as ex
pressed in the presidential primaries.
Kvery prominent aspirant for tho nom
inations In the national conventions will
want the official Indorsement of tho peo
ple of Oregon, Particularly will this be
tlm case with William Howard Taft, for
should another republican bo tho choice
of the Oregon republican for president
It would reflect on his administration

so much on account of tho parly
strength In tills state, which Is small

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 16, That
all Is not peace and Joy In the supreme
court of the United Slates Is clearly
seen here today, following the dramatic
delivery of Justice Harlan's separate
opinion In tlio Standard Oil case.
Speuklng beforo his wife whoso eyes
encouraged him from the front seat of
the court room during tho delivery of his
opinion, Marian bitterly denounced his
associates' action in declaring that re
straint of trade must be "unreasonable"
to come within the meaning of tho Sher
man law. Justice Harlan declared that
his fellows of the court had legislated,
not Interpreted the law.
It Is well known that President Tafl's
action in elevating Justico White to the
chief Justiceship was a severe blow to
Marians pride, but until his Standard
OH opinion was delivered It was not
known how deeply tho slight had struck
home. With hln wife silently applaud
ing the Jurist In his uddress. there was
a Utile play of tense heart Interest In
tho highest court of tho land, such us
probably Its wulls had never seen be
fore.

delighted persons Interested In the stock
market, with the result that, after weeks
of lctlinrgy. tlm stock exclnjtfy today
took cw unwohfo-or activity. T "
As an Indication of the fatlsfnctlon
felt at tho decision In the Standard Oil
case. It was stated In tho street that 11
brokers were flooded with buying or
ders long before the regular opening
hour. The result wasa stronger tono
everywhere, some of the leading Issues
making decided gains.
May Be Big Stock Ytar.
There Is a big difference of opinion
In the street as to whether the boom
will prove spasmodic or Is really tho
beginning of a big year In stocks. Tho
most notlccabld thing on tho floor of tlio
exchange was the small amount of actual
stock offered.
Tho curb was excited at tho opening,
but later quieted down.
It was generally agreed thnt as tho
result of the supreme court's decision
the stock of tho tSnndard Oil company
would be more vnluable than ever after
the reorganisation of Its subsidiary companies-
is completed. ,
Higher Frlcs Predicted.
NKW YOItK. May 16. Higher prices
to the consumer .for oil and Its products.
It Is believed here today, will bo tho
only real effect of tho United State
supremo court's decision declaring tho
Standard Oil company a trimt und order
ing Its dissolution. HusinesH men gen
erally agree that immediate advances III
tho trade are certain.
Discussing effects of tho decision, It
Is pointed out that for tho Standard
company of New Jersey to re-transfer Its
properties to tho original companies will
not change Its ownership, although tho
stock will bo distributed to numerous
stockholders Instead of being in the pos
session of tho parent corporation.
"Indaptnatmt" Concerns.
All the subsidiary corporations will
be operated hereafter as distinct con
cerns and though their operating ex
penses will be thus IncrciiM'il, thero Is
still no way to compel actual competi
tion. For tho reason that concentra
tion has been destroyed, it Is bellovcd
theru Is no doubt Hint It will bo huces
sary to advance prices In order to meet
the Increased expenses of Iho companies'
Individual administration. While osten
sibly there will bo separate oil companion
in tho various markets, no court man
dato can prevent tlmm working along tliu
lines now prevalent In tho steel business,
by "gentlemen's agreements."
