THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 4. 1908. ) w Difference Between Them Cropped Out During New York State Convention Tammany Supports Com moner. Si By John E. Lathrop; (Staff Correspondence of The Journal. ., New York, N. Y., July 4. Within the Democratic national delegation to Den ver, ever since the state convention, has waged a fight between Former Judge Alton B. Parker and his associated untl Bryanltes. and Augustus Van Wyok and his pro-Bryan forces, with victory all the time more than likely to perun on me Danners 01 inn pro-ttryanues. In other words, New York's 78 votes , at Denver will be cast for Bryan on the first liallot. That appears to be a, sa,fe prediction. The real fight has been, not over the casting or the 78 votes, ror tne puaneiit-a reports as to that have been faks, fake, York's part In the making of the tlat F&rkerites' Stand.' The out-and-out Parkerites In Ntw .York would rather defeat Bryan than elect him; would rather defeat progress ive legislation than eat turkey and cran berry sauce: and hence are anxious to poll all prospects for Bryan at Duuver. So Judge Parker went out for the Tfew York membership of the resolu tions committee, backed by the same ele ments which financed and tn7inags4 his presidential campaign In l$0i. Judge Van Wyck likewise went out for the membership, but went openly In sympathy with Bryan. This man Vnn Avyck is New York's veteran national TJelegate It was he who swung Kin county to Cleveland In 1884 when HI tried to prevent his nomination xni who Jso In 1900 defeated Hill at Kansas I'ity, and who carries In his head much (expert knowledge of practical politics. ; Judge Van Wyck and his friends have 'thus sized up the situation, and thereby 'doubtless touched the political truth On New York city and state: Tammany for Bryan. I. "Tammany will be found voting for airyan. Tammany cannot accord to do otherwise. Tammany has a mayoralty election oomlnK on. The rank and file of the party Is for Bryan. Right here In New York: yes, sir. In the city It self. Charlie Murphy knows that. And "he knows he needs votes for his coming 'mayoralty right; needs tnem ( badly. Therefore, ha wU that hlr' delega tion votes for Bryan. " "But at heart, he's not for Bryan, and he wants to get Into the platform ex pressions such as will nullify Bryan's chances for election. He will pacify the firSrBryan element In New York by go ttg on record with 78 votes for Bryan, and at the same time stick into the Bryan rause the platform knives pos sible." A visit here accompanied by some hard investigating uncovers the most amaslng condition of unrepresented dern ocracy In the country. It also reveals how unrepresentative of actual condi tions New YorK papers are. The New York city democracy Is permeated, sat urated with Bryan sentiment. It Is ev erywhere, and Tammany doesn't permit It to get evpresslon. Some may wonder at this assertion, and argue that Tam mnnv to continue existence as controller of New Tork city's affairs would have to express the people s wishes to some degree. Much Maligned People, The truth remains that Tammany does lint represent the New loik massis, who are the most malicnci people on earth. I have often in the past few vrnrs fione down familiarly Into 'lit: New York "slum" and tenement dis trict. 1 used to write .vioatlin mark arourKl the word "slums" because I as sumed it to be expressive of things morally awful. These quotation marks heiein are. not used to emphasise such a thought, for personal contact with these people has convinced that as a mass they are not Inforior morally -o the residents of Fifth avenue socially unconventional as such a remark mav lie. Along those rows of small shops, in those tenement houses, everywhere In that region which lias been historic ally the report of the missionary, one finds an average of civic conception eiiual to that or other sections of any city. Those people talk sincerely of good government, want good govern ment, are willing to work for good gov ernment. If only someone will show to them how they may attain good govern rivent. j They are apparently more concerned about It than the Fifth avenill folk who appear (s care more for maintain ing the "integrity or iiie .vjun,- un protecting sacred property' rights, and no forth, ad Infinitum, Of course there live man and women who are bad, and manv who are dlrtv. Dhyslcallv ana mentally and morally and none who do not lack soma of U e things we common folk claim are abso lute necessities. ' But the most ' f those nonr neonle are honest and .va.it in f:ood to winonly Tammany won't let t win, and those people,' therefore, hae no other means or political expression and are compelled to see their conven tion representatives misrepresent thorn sometimes. This they did In Richard Croker's -Jay, altnough Croker had political sagacity enough to understand that he must SUD port Bryan, as Charlie Murph will do. oeyona reasonable uoutit. Bo strong has the pressure for Bryan been here that some of the national del egates have gone over Murphy head and doclared for the Nebranka man. Van Wvck Is one. "Jimmy" Haxau Is an other the Hagan who went to Wash, tngton- lnst wlntpr and it tho - Brynn banquet pledged Tammnny to Bryan, only to find on his return home that Murphy publicly scolded him for say ing thaf. But Hagan, who Is one of the district leaders, today Is busy as ran be arranging for his Bryan ooomeraj snecl&l train to Denver, and Hagan Is not lonesome among New York el:y del .fffltAM.

Washington, July 4. Tfle fire works business depends upon patriot ism and religion for Its subsistence Today the United States will devote $10,000,000 to the business of mak ing noise, smoke and flame through the medium of fireworks. On Christ mas Day the American people will spond $3,000,000 for fireworks. This curious division of fireworks activity 'is geographical, and a fine thing for the makers of sky rockets and nigger chasers. In the north, the east and the west, fireworks are Indispensable to the proper celebration of the Fourth of July. Fireworks at Christ mas is an unthinkable thing to these same .sections. But the south cele brates the Fourth of July by read ing the Declaration of Independence and making Hon - tall - twisting speeches. When Christmas comes around Dixie buys Roman candles and pin wheels and proceeds to cele brate with noise and fire. Hence the fireworks drumpiers who are now in the south, selling goods for the ChrlBtmas business. When De cember comes they will be in the1 nortfl, providing ways and means for the castfalty list for July 4, 190 9. The movement for a safe and sane ' Fourth has as yet failed to cut down the fireworks business, although It has resulted In a falling off In the sale of certain varieties of the more danger ous explosives. The newspapers to morrow will give a list of the slain and wounded of the annual battle of the Fourth of July. There will be the us ual editorials and the usual protests. Maybe there will come a time when the Useless slaughter of Independence day will cease. In the meantime, the flre- Tli rough Sleeper to Chicago. On Monday morning, July 6, the O. & N. will run an additional sleeper from Portland to Chicago, leaving Port land at 8:30 o'clock. This Is on the fast train which runs through to Chicago In hours.

' Vast sums of money are spent on fire works not merely by dealers and civic bodies planning an elaborate Fourth of July celebration, but by individuals as well . Cost of Celebrating-. To the ordinary outsider who feels that he discharges his duty by buying for Young America some Roman can dles, skvrockets and cannon crackers, $10 is a liberal appropriation, while $26 is great extravagance. Hut he is the man who sees only tho Fourth of July buHiness done by the small dealer of his neighborhood. Were he to visit some of the large firms that do a cata logue and retail, as well as a wholesale business, his view would change. Even In these times when business depres sion is to be seen on every hand, the sitiiation Is the same. The large firms have flrewtirks in great quantities that sell from $3 to $10 apiece. One large manufacturer who has a famous dis play at one of the excursion resorts ev ery season, has arranged special ex hibits for his private customers. You mav obtain them for $10, $25 or $50. Most of the bis: displays are for the country. This is not because the peo ple of a large city like New York are less natrlotic. but because those resi dents who are In a position to spend laree sums of money on fireworks are nowadays In the country on the Fourth. It Is therefore the section occupied by the poor and some of the middle class that keep the day In the large cities. But their celebration does not compare, of" course, to some of those to be seen In the country, where the pieces are set off by experts sent out by the large manufacturers. Rockefeller Liberal Bayer. William Rockefeller Is a liberal buyer of fireworks. The Vanderbllts are also liberal purchasers of redfire. A larpe dealer will miss George J. Gould., who will spend... Ills Fourth in Kurope this year, although it Is said he has ordered fireworks for those in charge of his estate. Clarence Mackay is also a heavy buyer. But these are not the only people who spend vast sums for fireworks. There are others who buy just as lavishly, though their names as persons of wealth be nut so well known. On man living in Orange, N. J., spends $400 everv Fourth. Such orders are not uncommon, either. Many send in marked catalogues that represent expenditures of from $100 to $250. selecting their purchases with a Judgment that com mands the admiration of the manufac turer. The great problem which the manu facturers have had to consider f ir a number of years Is how to keep down' the eeord of casualties. But there Is the fact that many of the riun.ltles are not caused by the fireworks them- SCIvef. Dill luiliei u mr i-1 trii crv- ii inose RIHHilinK mem uu. iiieie im.. n disposition On the part of some of the public, however, not to take this into consideration. As a consequence, some sentiment has sprung up in recent years to curtail the celebration of the day. For Instance, It has made suffi cient headway In many of the large cities to cause the police authorities i to prohibit the shooting off of any large I crackers, Homnn candles or rocket until the Fourth of July. This means a serious loss to those who manufac ture the higher grade of fireworks, be- ! cause miny of them were shot off the I few rinvo preceding the Fourth a well as on the holiday Itself. The manufac turers, however, have shown a disposi tion to cooperate with the authorities for greater safety. An Old Custom. The shooting off of fireworks ss a means of celebration Is a very old cus tom. The Greeks did It many centuries I ago. They celebrated their triumphs In war and peace In this way The ! French also celebrated with fireworks. In the early fifths of the last entury : they were leaders In the art of their manufacture, especially In the choice of colors. Kngland then became the dominant factor In fireworks. But' to day the Cnlted Ptates outranks all other I nations In the novelty, color and gen i eral effectiveness of Its fireworks. As j a consequence, our export trade Is very henvy. There J the general Impres j slon. howevgr. that China Is the great ieaaer nen u -ponies io maxing Ore works, but this is wrong. The China man only manufaoturea the fireworks that the small boy shoots off on the streets. What he produces Is lacking In effectiveness. The Japanese sre skilled, on the other hand. In making daylight i nreworas One greet fireworks factory Is sit uated on the outskirts of Brooklyn, not far fmm Manhattan Beach, which has been the home of fireworks displays for more than 19 year. The raetory covers tw acres of lend. It employs 609 men. They make crackers, bom be and rockets. The most tdloua branch of their work Is the prer-arattoa of the bits of pa per end powder. Every precaution is taken to prevent the exploelTe from go ing c-ff too soon. Most of the work, owing to -Its delicate nature, la done by hand.. Tle maWng of the fireworks la done In small ehes erected on tne rroond. Eacn has mnlvfor from three o five mm who put the parts of the xpioaivea together. .Ail the packlcf of the explosive materials In the outer sheila or holders la done by hand. Wrapped tn paper. Tissue naner Is the foundation ol every kind of fireworks. Layer after layer Is wrapped about the steel or wooden mould or frame on which tho rocket, candle or shell is made, until the surface Is Just the right thickness. That gives the cracker great strength. When the c&ae Is once made the work ers pack In the powder-filled stars or balls. If It be a candle or rocket they are filling, they drop the materials In by hand and then apply hydraulic pres sure to force them down firmly and tightly, so that a strong force la needed to eject them. , The big radio r electric repeating bomb shells are d.cate things to make. The case is usilly pear shaped and varies in thickn,s, the larger ones be ing made of tissue paper to the thick ness of nearly an Inch. The inside Is hollow and there are carefully packed the powder and the materials that are to produce the lights, stars and balls. The repeating bomb consists of several smaller bombs placed one within the other, so that as one explodes the other Is Ignited and explodes shortly after. The outer case of the shell Is entirely destroyed by the first big ex plosion. The men who work In the fireworks factory are all skilled and experienced. They understand to a nicety the art of combining colors. But the most Im portant man Jn this respect Is the chem ist. He originates all the various shades and tints. It is said that he often works as long as three months Just to secure a special tint or more perfect color. It Is also said that he can secure almost every tint with his chemicals. Another man of much lm- Fortance In the factory is the artist, le designs all the exhibition pieces. The carpenter starts them by building a frame of wood in squares of about tho dimensions of an Inch. Artist Draws Pictures. The artist then draws the pictures according to the scale laid out. The ob ject to be attained Is to get the great est effect with the fewest lines. He also marks where the pins are to be laid for the colors and where the col ors are to be applied. The picture Is then passed to tne foreman or the fac tory who covers It with strips of rat tan. Pins are then stuck where the artist has Indicated, the color gerbes applied and finally the quick match -Is laid over the Whole thing so that at the touch of a spark the match Ignites and quickly spreads over the lines of the lcture, sending it into a glow or name. Is possible to produce In this way any picture made or simple lines. Nobody has anything against the le gitimate fireworks business. The use of fireworks In celebration of such days as this Is appropriate ajnd will con tinue. But there will come a time when fireworks will not be entrusted to chil dren, when only experienced men will be permitted to handle them, and when the dangerous ones are all discarded fog the harmless and more beautiful "set pieces" of the kind which awe the children and thrill even the oldest heart.
