The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1904-07-23

Up 10 this writing we have only the briefest
of brief mentions of the large convention of the
A. O. II. at St. Louis In point of attendance it
is the greatest assemblage of Catholic Irisbmen
IN fraternal union ever held in America. The
strong feature IS the large number of women, dele
gates from the Ladies Auxiliary This branch
made immense strides since the Denver conven-
ton, or 90 speak more to the point since Mr..
Dolan Of Syracuse was elected president and

AMERICAN SONS OF FRESHMEN.

CHANGING over the personnel of the St. Louis
convention and picking out the men who com
manded the attention of that turbulent asscmbIage
we are led to the conclusion, painful though it
be- that the Puritan has had his day and no longer
is he strong factor in the political destinies of
country. This, too, in face of the fact that
Alton Brooks Parker, the nominee of that con-
venton, is descendant of Puritan family.
With the passing of the Puritan, there is rap
idly coming to the front the descendants of an
other to take their place and sit in the high
places of state. These are the sons of Irish emf
grants born and educated in this country. This
does not mean Bourke Cochran, for he is Irish
born Neither does it include Patrick Collins.
mayor of Boston, Edward J. Murphy, ex-United
States senator, and others in that convention who
may may not have been to the manor born. 1t
is the young American with the Irish name who
enlists attention; the fellow who meets the
hard knocks and privations of youth with courage
and determination to get at the top when he
grows to be man. Getting to the top does not
mean that he could displace an Edison or a Mar
conf; that he would scatter his talent over the
construction of a battleship, although he could
successfully command one. He is not built for
invention. His mind does not incline to philo-
sophical research. But give him the opportunity
of politics, elbow room at law, chance to gallop
at the head of troop of cavalry, and where do
you find his equal? Surely not in the materialist
without soul And the Irishman's son is nearly
all soul-and language.

The last days of that Democratic convention
presents mental picture to the writer The mind
grows reminiscent. It runs back to the years soon
after the civil war. 1t takes in blueeyed blonde
lad of about ten years, one of the "kids" who ran
about the docks of Buffalo harbor The boy was
the owner of fat-bottomed boat, not much larger
than hospital cot, propelled at the stern by
skull oar. If a person desired to cross the river
IN order to visit the grain elevators on the island
he must perforce take ont of these rude ferries
and pay the ferry boy two copper pennies for tie
trip. This the boys initial step in rhe rIan
of making his way in the world. He belonged TO a
family living from hand to mouth, and the ferry
pennies helped. The boy was resourceful by in
stinct He discovered that cobbler who con-
Quoted a shop hard by the docks was chicken
tancler. A bargain was struck whereby he would
furnish the cobbler with chicken feed in return
for cobbling, the excess of chicken feed over the
cost of shoe repairing to be paid for in cash
With gunny sack in his hand, the blue-eyed lad
gathered up the kernels of corn and wheat that
escaped through the elevators and brought them
to the cobbler. Perhaps he had lother customers.
Anyway he was a bright lad full of the get upn
spirit
The whole family had the get up" spirit. 1t
was born in them; and as the boys grew up they
mingled in the politics of the ward section of
the city as unctious in local craftsmanship as it
was rich in brogue. 1t the strongest Demo
cratic ward in the city, the last to give in the re-
turns on election night, and by the same token the
city remained Democratic for many day and oft.
BY some freak of politics one election dav. the
First Ward went Republican, and it was said the
ferry boy and his older brother had hand in it.
This fractional charge could not be sustained
against Democrats like the blue-eyed kid and his
brother, although from that time the boys, now
grown to be young men, assembled higher and
higher on the political ladder. They became
prominent figures about the city hall. They were
here, there and everywhere, if the good of TIE
party, and the family demanded their attendance.

FIRE ENGINE DAMAGED.
Overturned at Street Corner While
Responding to Alarm.

The failure to clean the snow and ice from
the business streets resulted In a serious
accident and damage to one of the engines
Of the fire department this morning. That
human life was not also sacrificed is regard
ed as miraculous by pedestrians who were
near 9th and Z streets and saw No. IA en-
CINE when 1t overturned and blocked traffic
on the street car line. The engine was re-
spending TO an alarm that had been turned
in from box 1s5. because of slight blaze
in the cellar at the jewelry store of Shaw
& Berry, 11th and F streets northwest.
The snow and siush on the asphalt pave
ment at 9Th and e streets yesterday after
noon was deep enough to annoy pedestrians
and comment was caused by reason of the
fact that no effort was being made to re-
move 1t. The hose carriage and engine left
the quarters Of the company, on 9Th street.
as the alarm was received, and
turned west a T. street.
Pedestrians got out of the way at the
crossing when they saw the hose carriage
approaching. Policeman Clinedinst was
standing at the intersection of 9th and E
streets and saw the hose carriage slide
in the direction Of the car tracks Acting
Driver Robert l.. Cook. who was handling
the lines of the engine horses. attempted to
bring the. three animals down to a walk
before the corner was reached, and had
almost succeeded when the heavy vehicle
slid on the slippery street and swerved
toward the tracks.
AS soon as the rear left wheel reached
the track and came to a sudden stop, over
went the engine The body of the engine
being heavier than the front was the first
to go over. Edward L. Hunt, acting en-
gineer. and James {. Dreamer. the fireman,
realized what was coming and jumped.
Driver Cook remained at his post until the
last second. and only leaped off when he
saw that he could not prevent the over
turning OF the engine. He held to the lines
and quickly made an effort to protect his
horses. The overturnfng of the vehicle had
thrown the animals from their feet, but had
not injured them. The driver slightly hurt
one of his feet when he jumped
1t was some time before the overturned
engine could be righted and in the mean
time the street cars were tied up and traffic
was suspended.
About twenty years ago a similar acct
dent occurred in front of the Baltimore and
Ohio depot at the corner of New Jersey
avenue and c street. when No. 3 engine
company, in turning the corner on the way
to fire, turned over. Driver Daniels who
was in charge OF the horses. was caught be-
meath the massive engine and instantly
killed.
The fire proved to be Of little consequence
