OUTLINE OR": PARTY POLICY HRr' '• ••1 ir w"*' - f Tf" ...4^ M* iWSf Fodt Addresses De Chairman of Republican National Convention Regulation of the Trusts. ̂ .. • At the opening day of the national Republican convention at Chicago ad- Tanced the streets took on an appear­ ance bordering upon activity. Bands played in fi-ont of the Auditorium and other convention headquarters. Party leaders who had nothing to do but wait for the hour of assembly filled the lobbies and visited at the rooms 4f the various important delegations. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, slated for the chairmanship of the committee on resolutions, decided to appoint as members of the subcom­ mittee to draft the platform Senator Spooner of Wisconsin and J. W. Blythe of Iowa. The first applause to the Incoming delegates was a ripple of handclaps from the gallery given to Senator Alli- eoa of Iowa. Senator Dolliver of Iowa came strolling .down the cetjter aisle shortly after Senator Allison had tak­ en his seat, and tile men gallery from Iowa broke out into applause the second time. Senator AMison' acknowledged hts reception with a smile and a bow, but the junior senator apparently did not resize that be was being honored, for he turned his back upon his friends in the gallery while they were still ap­ plauding him, and \walked slowly back to the seats in the Iowa section. The convention was called to order by Acting Chairman Henry C. Payne of the national committee. An elo­ quent prayer by the Rev. Timothy P. Frost followed. Then Temoorary Chairman Elihu. Root of New York, was introduced and addressed the con­ vention. His speech in part was as follows: The responsibility of government rests upon the Republican party. The practical governing instinct of and have maintained its life, by the causes for which it has striven, the ideals which it has followed, the Re­ publican party as a pa>,y has acquired a character which makes its ascend­ ancy the best guarantee of a govern­ ment loyal to principle and effective in execution. "We shall ask the . continued confi­ dence of the people because the can­ didates whom we present are of proved competency and patriotism, fitted to fill the offices for which they are nominated to the credit and honor of our country. We shall ask it because the present policies of our government are bene­ ficial and ought not to be set aside; and the people's business is being well done and ought not to be inter­ fered with. Have we not had an effective gov­ ernment? Have not the laws been en­ forced? Has not the slow process of legislative discussion upon many seri­ ous questions been brought to prac­ tical conclusions embodied In bene­ ficial statutes? And has not the Ex­ ecutive proceeded without vacillation or weakness to give these effect? Are not the laws of the United States obeyed at home? And does not our government command respect and honor throughout the world? Have we not ^iad a safe and con­ servative government? Has not prop­ erty been protected? Are not the fruits of enterprise and indpstry se­ cure? What safeguard of the Consti­ tution for vested right or individual freedom has not been scrupulously ob­ served? When has any American ad­ ministration ever dealt more consid­ erately or wisely with questions which tnluht have been the cause sf conflict with forelgu powers? When have &-• • * if R: £L/fTcr jPOOT •v people has adapted the machinery devised in the eighteenth to the con­ ditions of the twentieth century by the . organization of national political par­ ities. In them men join for the pro­ motion of a few cardinal ^principles •pool which they agree. The people by their choice of candidates indi­ cate the principles and methodb which thejr wish followed in the conduct of their government, When the course of the next admin­ istration is but half done'the Repub­ lican party will have completed the ftrst half century of its natioi.&l life. I .With the platform and the candi­ dates of this convention we are about to ask a renewed expression, of popu­ lar confidence in the Republican party. We shall ask It because the prin­ ciples to which we declare our adher­ ence are right, and the best interests ot oar country require that they should be followed in its government. We shall ask it because the un- fefoken record of the Republican party la the past is aa assurance of the more just settlements been reached by peaceful means? When has any administration wieltled a more pow­ erful influence for peace and when have we rested more secure in friend­ ship with all mankind? , Four years ago the regulation by law of the great .corporate combina­ tions called "trusts"*stood substantial­ ly where it was when the Sherman anti-trust act of 18!>0 was passed. At every election, the regulation of trusts had been the football of cam­ paign oratory and *thc subject of many insincere dec larations. Our Republic­ an administration has taken up the subject in a practical, sensible way as a business rather than a political question, saying what it really means, and doing what lay at its hand to be done to accomplish effective regula- tipn. After long consideration. Congress passed three practical statutes: On February 11, 1903. an act to expedite hearings in suits in enforcement of the anti-trust $ct: on February 14, sincerity of our declarations and the 1903, the act creating a new Depart- B fidelity with which we shall give them effect. Because we have been con­ stant In principle, loyal to our beliefs and faithful to our promises, we are entitled to be believed and trusted mow. We shall ask it because the char­ acter of the party gives assurance of 'good government. /i.'/We do not deny that other parties tiftve in their' membership men of morality and patriotism, but we assert with confidence that above all others, fcf the influencej which gave it birth M' GREAT IN PARTY SERVICE. J-; ::PM of the Prominent Living and .-j Dead Republicans. The fourth Republican national con­ vention to be held in Chicago within Ike last quarter of a century has just ended. It is twenty-four y^ars from s the ^convention of 1880 to the conven­ tion of 1904. . .Many of those most active in the tonvention of twenty-four years ago are dead. Others have retired from political or public life. Yet there were axnong the delegates who answered to roll call a few who were conspicu­ ous in the convention of 1880, and ;(.jfrore than a few who answered to l;|ppll call in 1884 and 1888. ^ Powell Clayton, Henry Cabot Lodge, ifhomas C. Piatt are among those who %ere delegates in 1880. In that year the delegates at large from New York fSere Roscoe Conkllng, J. W. Hoys- radt, Chester A. Arthur and J. D. War­ den, but no uian in the delegation was more active than Thomas C. *Platt, from the Twenty-eighth district. The ' Aelegates-at-large from Pennsylvania .were Matthew 8. Quay. James Mc ment of Commerce and Labor with a Bureau cf Corporations, having au­ thority to secure systematic informa­ tion regarding the organization and operation of corporations engaged in interstate commerce; and on Febru­ ary 19, 1903, an act enlarging the pow­ ers of the Interstate Commerce Com­ mission and of the courts, to deal with secret rebates in transportation charges, which are the chief means by which the trust? crush out their smaller competitors. The attorney general has gone on in tfce same practical way, sol to talk about the truFt, but to proceed against the trusts by law for their regulation. In separate suits fourteen of the great railroads of the country have been re­ strained by Injunction from giving il­ legal rebates to the favored shippers, who by means of them were driving out smaller shippers and monopolizing the grain and meat business of the country. The beef trust was put under In­ junction. The officers of the railroads engaged in the cotton carrying pool, affecting all that great industry of the South, were indicted and have a^fen- don^d their combination. i Tfee Northern Securities Company, which undertook by combining in one ownership the capital stocks of the Northern Pacific and Gfeeat Northern Railroads to end traffic competition in the Northwest, has been destroyed by a vigorous prosecution expedited and brought to a speedy and effective con­ clusion in the Supreme Court. « The right of the Interstate Com­ merce Commission to compel the pro­ duction of books and papers has been established by the judgment of the Supreme Court in a suit against the coal-carrying roads. Other suits have been brought and other indictments have been found and other trusts have been driven back within legal bounds. No investment iu lawful business has been jeopardized, no fair and hon­ est enterprise has been injured; but it is certain that wherever the consti­ tutional power of the national govern­ ment reaches, tru3ts are b.eing prac­ tically regulated and curbed within lawful bounds as they never have been before, and the men of small capital are finding in the efficiency and skill of the national Department of Justice a protection they never had before against the crushing effect of unlawful combinations. We have at last reached a point w'here the public wealth of farm land, which has seemd so inexhaustible-, is nearly gone, and the problem of util­ izing the remainder for the building of new homes has become of vital im­ portance. The present administration has dealt with this problem vigorously and effectively. Great areas had been unlawfully fenced in by men of large means, and the home-builders had been excluded. Many of these un­ lawful aggressors have been compelled to relinquish their booty, and more than 2,000,000 acres of land have been restored to the public. The reclamation by irrigation of the vast arid regions forming the chief part of our remaining public domain has been provided for by the national reclamation law. The Department of Agriculture has been brought to a point of efficiency and practical benefit never before known. When the last national convention met the Philippines were under mili­ tary rule. The last vestige of insur­ rection has been swfept away. In 1900 the project of an Isthmian Canal stood where it was left by the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850. On the 18th of Npvember, 1901, the Hay-' Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain relieved the enterprise of the right of British control and left that right ex­ clusively in the United States. Then followed swiftly the negotia­ tions with Nicaragua; the Isthmian Canal act of June 28, 1902; the just agreement with the French Canal Company to pay them the value of the work they had done; the negotia­ tion and ratification of the treaty with Columbia; the rejection of that treaty by Colombia in violation of our rights and the world s right to the passage of the Isthmus; the seizure by Panama of tho opportunity to re­ new her oft-repeated effort to throw off the hateful and oppressive yoke of Colombia and resume the independ­ ence which once had been hers, and of which she had been deprived by fraud .and force; the success of the revolu­ tion ; our recognition of the new re­ public followed by recognition from, substantially all the civilized powers of the world; the treaty with Panama recognizing and confirming our right to construct the canal; the ratification of the treaty by Congress; the pay­ ment of 150,000,000 to the French Company and to Panama; the appoint­ ment of the Canal Commission in ac­ cordance with law, and its organiza­ tion to begin the work. Following the speech of the tempo­ rary chairman the standing commit­ tees of the convention were appointed, and the meeting adjourned for the day. At night a mass meeting at the Auditorium was addressed by Sena­ tors Depew and Lodge, Representative Dalzell and other prominent men. Manes, J. H. Brown and C. L. Magee, but the man of the delegation most in evidence was J. Donald Cameron of the Fourteenth district. John A. Logan, E. A. Storrs, Green B. Raum, and D- T. Littler headed the Illinois delegation, and William Den- nison, James A. Garfield, Charles Fos­ ter and Warner M. Bateman the Ohio delegation. Benjamin Harrison was at the hea«! of the Indiana delegation, G. F. Hoar of the Massachusetts, and Eugene Hale of the Maine. Of the Ohio "big four" of 1880 all are dead; of the Illinois delegates-at- large Gen. Raum is the only survivor. From the delegates-at-large of that year from Indiana, Ohio and New York came three presidents, Garfield, Arthur and Harrison. In the convention of 1884 Shelby M, Cullom was at the head of the Illi­ nois delegation, Theodore Roosevelt at the head of the New York delega­ tion, R. W. Thompson and Benjamin Harrison were of the Indiana "big four," George F. Hoar and Henry Cabot L^dge .of the Massachusetts, Joseph H. Foraker, William McKln- ley, Marcus A. Hanna and W. H.

Two presidents, McKhfr ley and Roosevelt, came from the delegates-at-large in the convention of 1884. Thomas C. Piatt was an active in the convention of 1884 in support of Blaina as he had been Active against Blaine in 1880. In 1888 Chauncey M. Depew and Other delegates of the convention came into line. Of the delegates to the Chicago convention of 1868 not many are living. Among the dead are Richard W. Thompson, Walter Q. Gresham, John A. Logan, Marshall Jewell, John W. Forney. Among the survivors are Daniel E. Sickles (a; the head of the New York delega­ tion), Carl Schurz (at the head of the Missouri delegation), J. R. Hawley. O. H. Piatt, H. C. Warmouth and others. Of the presidents of Republican conventions held in Chicago Carl Schurz and Joseph R. Hawley of the convention of 1868, George F. Hoar. 1880; John R. Lynch, 1884, and John M. Thurston, 1888, are living. He who seeks truth must not tongues.--Leibnita,, The making of fireworks has prog­ ressed rapidly in America, and we are not now dependent upon China and Japan for our firecrackers, our red lights and our noise-making, nerve- destroying devices. Time was when a few roman candles and some skyrockets furnished the larger portion ot the fireworks for the celebration of the Fourth of July m the smaller towns, but modern patri­ otism does not stop at that. Nearly every citizen of a town will lay out considerable money for his supply of fireworks, and it is not in­ frequent that a private family will spend from $50 to $75 in order to make a Dig illumination on the na­ tion's birthday. Set pieces, Buch as were formerly much prized brations in the average towns now quite often seen on the lawns private individuals, for the Amoilcfin wdrkmen have learned how to niHke them, and that means that they lire to be obtained more cheaply. The day .when the small boy and his big brother had to pay ten cents a bunch for crackers has long panned by. Machinery has been Invented to mold the paper cylinders and iosd them With powder at the rate of 1,000 and more a minute. They can be manufactured at about two cents a hundred in large quantities and retail at a profit at five cents. The Combination of powder and various chemicals jsvhich the fireworks man has succeeded in mixing allows a program to be given at night which can be kept up for three or four hours if desired, with something different almesj; every minute. One can get np a family celebration on the curb' pfone in front of the house which will include not only rockets and roman randies, but pinwheels. mines, bombs, spitting devils and other things which are apt to wriggle around among the spectators, and the entire cost will not be over $5. From this figure the prices range all the way up to a carload of set pieces containing a ton of powder and costing $10,COO. In some of the elaborate displays at the resorts near New York and other large cities pa­ per, powder and chemicals are turned into sparks, flame and smoke at' the rate of $5,000 an hour--more than the highest priced opera singer In the world charges for her services. The rocket which whizzes into the air and breaks into a stream of pend­ ants or is turned into a single star, amid the "Ohs!" and "Ahs!" of the spectators is still used, but it has been wonderfully changed in recent years. It stin whirrs upward in its aerial flight, leaving a trail of sparks behind, but at the end of the journey may burst into a golden shower re­ sembling some familiar^ flower. Perhaps from the center falls a rain of red, white and blue balls floating gracefully downward until they al­ most touch the earth. Others form a cluster of long, delicate lines some­ what similar to a rainfall on a sum­ mer day and thus they are named. The rain comes down, however, at a rate of from $15 to $30 a fall--much more costly than the natural shower. The most interesting feature -o the boy is the rocket which sends a group of fiery serpents down among the crowd. . This year a humber of new ideas in rockets have been origi­ nated, one of which is called the jew­ eled streamer--really a very beauti­ ful piece. The columns of sparks burst into a golden spray, from which issue three balls of various colors, each ball discharging what are cal' tl pendants. They remain in the air fully a minute. Another new idea is called the dia­ mond chain, which consists of a dozen or more links, each containing a star. A novelty is a compartment which contains either one large or several small balloons in the form of ani­ mals, clowns and other comic feat­ ures. By an ingenious contrivance hot air is forced into the paper by The First Stars and Stripes. The first using of fhe stars and stripes in military serviee was at Fort Stamoix, renamed Fort Schuyler, now Rome, New York, in 1777. August 2d of that year the fort was besieged by the English and Indians; the brave garrison were without a flag, but one was made in the fort. The red stripes were* of a petticoat furnished by a woman, the white stripes and stars were supplied by an officer who gave his shirt fojr that purpose, and the blue was a piece of Col. Peter Ganse- voort's military cloak. Three women worked on the flag, and it was raised to victory, when on the 22d of August the redmen and the English were de­ feated at the fort. The next record oi the using of the stars and stripes is on the first anni­ versary of American independence, which was celebrated at Philadelphia, Charleston. 8. C., and other piaces, July 4th, 1777. The banner was used at the oattle of Brandywine, September 17th, 177V, at Germantown, October 4th ot the Character. Isn't it atnusing what energy and acumen the specialist informs the reader that a girl's character can be read by her eyes, her nose, the tilt of her chin, her hand, her elbow or even the back of her head? I was talking to an East Bind family man about this yesterday, and he said in- a most em­ phatic fashion: "Why, I tell you it Is all bosh. You couldn't tell anything about her char­ acter if you looked a girl rquare In the face. I've been looking at one face across the table for nearly forty years and it is an enigma to me yet." one of the explosions and the animals go floating away, illuminated by a flaming torch beneath similar to the common fire balloon. This ir^perhaps the most remarkable design which has yet been invented in what is call­ ed aerial fireworks. The most costly piece of this set, however, is known as the Japanese night bombshell and Is the invention of a Japanese workman in a large fire­ works factory in New York state. The bomb itself ranges from twelve to thirty inches in diameter. At the end of its flight it explodes no less than seven times, actually pro­ ducing every color of the rainbow in the form of streamers, shooting stars, comets, serpents, golden rain, para­ chutes; whirligigs and "spreaders." One of these bombs forms a whole e x­ hibition In itself, as the illumination lasts fully three minutes before the lafit design fades away. Tho large bombs cost $60 apiece, owing to the rare chemicals which" are used, and the amount of work upon one, for the various compart­ ments contain over 200 feet of fuse, every inch of which has to be care­ fully placed in a certain position so that it will not ignite before ;he proper time and spoil the effect. Fireworks dealers say that 'mines ana batteries will be very popular this year on account of their resem­ blance to volcanoes. The recent erup­ tions have actually caused a boom in this feature of fireworks, as the peo­ ple desire to see the resemblance of a volcano in miniature. They can be procured in one or half a dozen colors. Most of them produce fiery scales and balls, but a new design combines stars with the balls. They have taken the place of the roman candle to a large extent and the ordinary piece which is held in the hands is gradually going out of use. One reason is that it is so dangerous on account of the shower of sparks falling over the person who holds It. • i The days when the patriotic citizen went to the fireworks dealer and pick­ ed out his rockets, pinwheels and other pieces are about o^er. The fire­ works man saves him all this trouble by packing assortments In cases So that, he can buy his celebration at so much a box, or. as already stated, bv the car load if, desired. Suppose people in the neighborhood club together and raise $250 for the evening's entertainment. They -can get large rockets, a dozen large mines, a half dozen imitations of a windmill and have the choice of three or four set pieces such as "July 4," the Maltese cross, a mamnioth revolv­ ing star, "1776," and the bust of a hero or statesman, if they desire. The features of President Roosevelt will be reproduced in. glittering points, eyeglasses and all, npt only in this country, but in the Philippines, for some very large orders containing rep­ resentations of the president were sent from San Francisco to Manila several weeks ago. The fashion in set designs has changed considerably. The familiar patriotic mottoes such as "Peace, Prosperity and Freetfom," "The Day We Celebrate," etc., are not so. much in demand as formerly. The people prefer comic and curious ideas, but the most popular are fire pictures of men prominent in the public eye. It must be confessed that the American populace are becoming for­ getful of the father of his country on independence day, for only a few pictures of Washington have beer pre­ pared in the combinations which have been ordered. Of course the set pieces are far inore expensive than any other kind of fireworks. The goddess of liberty and the United States coat of arms are among the most costly at $100 each. One of the most elaborate de­ signs is a fiery see-saw in motion with revolving Ferris wheels at the ends. The price of this mechanism is* $210. same year, and it also floated over the surrender of Burgoyne. This flag cheered the patriots of Valley Forge the next winter; it waved at Yorktown and shared in i le rejoic ings at the close of the war. Levi P. Morton Eighty Years Old. L^vl P. Morton, former vice presi­ dent of the United States, celebrated his eightieth birthday in Paris, but his many Wall street friends, as well as his political associates, did not miss the opportunity to extend him their hearty congratulations and good wishes. At the Morton Trust Com­ pany in New York city, of which he Is president, many telegrams of con­ gratulation from Washington and oth­ er parts of the country were received. ' ""J&L The Co-Operative Movement. It is sixty years ago since the co­ operative movement was inaugu-f>t^d in England by the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers, a little bard of weavers {only twenty-eight in number), most of whom were Chartists, and practi­ cally all of whom were also SociaMsts of the Owen school. Now that the co­ operative n,overrent has grown to such dimensions that it can claim to possess the largest trading concern in the world, it Is interesting to re­ call the fact ,that the Rochdale Pion­ eers commenced business on a capital of £28, collected at the outset by weekly contriDutions of 2d., which were afterward increased to 3d. The Rochdale Society has noW over 12.000 members, and its trading profit last year was £34,000. Plague of Field Mice., In that part of France which lies between the Loire and the Garonne there has broken out a plague of field mice similar to one which devastated the pastures in the south o. Scotland a few years ago. It has been calcu­ lated that their holes amount to about 10,000 in the acre, and about 100,000 acres are affected. A commission has been formed by the French govern­ ment to investigate the cause and cure, and some interesting experi­ ments'have been tried. Prof. Loeffler, a well known scientific man in Ger­ many, proposed to Inoculate the mice with the bacillus of typhus, but the disease was not contagious and the cost was considerable. Napoleon's Alarm Clock. • Among the effects of the late Prin­ cess Mathilde, the niece of Napoleon I, was found a curiously made alarm deck, which is said to have been owped by the great conqusror, and to have been the secret of his ability to wake up at any moment he desired, which achievement had been Relieved to be due to his wonderful will power. THE INWARDNESS OF TRUSTS. , .... . r, ̂ .«,„»• 'Traveling Man Has Hard Time In a Dakota Town. "I have been hearing of trusts for twenty years past," said the Chicago 'irummer, "but I never knew the real inwardness of a trust until I .struck a South Dakota town last spring. It so happened that I got into a wrangle with the 'bus driver on my arrival, and on reacting the hotel I was told that it was full. The hotel man not only ran the 'bus line, but he con­ trolled the only two restaurants in town, and I could- not get as much as a biscuit. "I went to a livery stable to get a rig to drive across the country, but he owned that. There were two dry goods stores, but he controlled both. There was a grocery, but I was barred from lfUylng crackers and cheese. The only show I had was to return to the depot and wait for a train. When I got there I asked the ticket agent; " 'Does the hotel man also own you?' " 'Well, no,' he slowly replied, 'but as he owns the building, is a stock-: holder lid the road, and all this land around here belongs to him, you had better say "please" when you address me!'"
