Check the Sale Of Dynamite.

Yesterday a dynamite bomb was ex-
ploded in front of a South Brooklyn
store. A few nights ago a similar bomb
was thrown into the basement Of a high
class apartment house in Harlem. Where
do these bombs come from? The use of
them has become almost as much a mat
ter of course in the news as Italian stab
bling ARRAYS used to be. The dynamite of
which they are made must. be as easy
to get as whisky and vastly easier than
morphine. The one thing which makes
these men q menace is their ability to get
hold of dynamite. II they could not get
the explosive the bomb-throwing would
stop. The fire department looks after
the storing of this explosive in build
ings, but there is in practice a curious
failure to follow its SALE to see that it
comes only into the hands Of men who
have q legitimate use for 1t.

The Guffeyites refuse to be comforted.
Not all Of Mr. Bryan's power can induce
them to turn from the man they have
been following. Kerr may do for those
who want him. or are willing to accept
outside dictation. but Col. Guffey still
for the Guffeyftes. They love him the
more for the blow he has received.

said then that Mr.. Bryan got at the polls
what he deserved: that his proclamation
against bossism was hypocritical: that
his warfare on Col Guffey was charac-

to restore the deposed favorite to the

The Awful Aftermath.
From the Newark Evening News.


Only one fatal accident was reported
in this State on the Fourth of July and
that was at Trenton. But since then no
less than six boys have died from Injuries
received on that day, the most OF them IN
all the lingering agonies of lockjaw. Max
Goldstein, aged ten, died in the Beth Israel
Hospital several days ago Of bullet
wound in his lung. John koiocabage.
twenty-five years old. died of tetanus at
the Mount ainside Hospital. his hand hav-
ing been torn by giant cracker. Howard
Sharpley, aged twelve. Of Paterson. died
Of lockjaw on Monday last, the wadding
Of toy cannon having wounded anu
poisoned his hand. Harry Hall, aged
fourteen, and Arthur Berry. aged nine,
both of Union Hill. died on Sunday OF
lockjaw from Independence day accidents,
and Rollo Terasino, aged ten, of Edge
water, died in awful commissions on the
same day from an injury received on the
Fourth while discharging toy cannon.
Let us hope there may be no more, out
the sacrifice of seven human beings to an
unsafe and insane way of celebrating the
nations birthday is too great for New
Jersey.

Undertaking the Enemy.

This statement is accredited to Chair
man Hitchcock. who is now in Colorado
comforting with the republican leaders Of
the west:
1--WE believe that Taft will carry New
York. Ohio. Indiana. Minnesota. Ken
lucky and such other states in the east
that the democrats claim are doubtful. so
we are coming west to pave the way for
the success Of the republican ticket In
the western states. We expect to carry
every western state. leaving the demo-
Gratis only few In the south. where
democracy still prevails"
According to this calculation. nothing
but grease spot will be left OF the DEM
ocratic party. Roosevelts triumph over
Parker will look small by comparison
with Taft's over Bryan. Wherever con-
test Is waged Taft will win.
Has not Mr.. Hitchcock been misquoted?
A wise general never undertakes the en-
envy. He does not count his trophies be-
fore they are captured. He wants every
man to do his duty. and, in order to in
sure that. he must inspire every man with
the feeling that his full part is essential
to success.
Mr.. Hitchcock has gone west for the
purpose of bringing factions together and
getting out the party vote. He has heard
that Mr.. Bryan is stronger there than in
the campaign of 1900. An eastern man.
he wants to see the west and talk with
the western leaders on western soil.
1t does not seem likely, therefore that
Mr.. Hitchcock Is 'jollying' the western
men with assurances that everything is
safe In this direction; that the Chicago
ticket will sweep the country this side of
the Mississippi; that practically there are
no doubtful states except in democratic
imagination, and that the thing to do Is to
make the choice unanimous outside Of the
gulf states.
"Jollying'' is the province of men with
out official responsibility. This Is the
time for Judge Taft to be hailed as the
next President by men of good nature
and politicians who may meet him in pub
lie or in private and have only the con-
yentions Of society in view. Nobody is
either heartened or discouraged by such
talk. Judge Taft himself knows its val
ue. or lack OF value. He smiles, but does
not relax his energies to make his letter
OF acceptance lust so.' He is taking no
chances. but Is working away as II on
an extremely doubtful situation.
Forecasts at this time are necessarily
fanciful. Matters have not taken shape
nor will they for some weeks yet. What
will be the value Of the Hearst move
ment? VIII he or another lead It? And
If he leads it what will 1t cost the demo-
Gratis. against whom 1t appears to be
especially directed? There are doubtful
states now. How long they will remain
SO is a question.

ers have not been apprehended but
the police are making complete
drag Of the city and surrounding conn-

Terrill who was one Of the men to
escape, had been in Jail since Monday
when he was arrested on the charge
Of breaking and entering and stealing
harness from Drs. Bowles and La
Force and also from e. Gunda, OF
West Fourth street. His arraignment

and forcing the popular reclamation
for the denomination of Roosevelt.
This is even worse than they had
ever dreamed. In their eyes Taft is
infinitely more attractive than Roose-
welt. And SO Taft seems to be acquir-
ing new strength in an unusual man
ner.
1t is no secret that such men as
Aldrich, Crane and Hale of Maine are
now coming out for him with this one
object in view--the prevention of u
Roosevelt stampede. Moreover, SEN
ators Aldrich and Crane seem to be
now exercising quiet influence in ia
vor of the withdrawal of some or all
of the favorite son candidates, so that
all opposition to Taft may cease and
the nomination be made by acclama-
| ton.
The position which Senator Crane is
| assuming and will assume, is highly
important. He is the leader Of Repub-
lican politics in New England. He
| could be nominated for vice president
If he said the word In fact, with
Hughes definitely refusing the second
| place on the ticket, it is not an i'm
probability that Senator Crane may
yet be asked to run for the vice presi-
dency. 1t is pointed out that If Taft
is to be nominated the combination of
Ohio and Massachusetts would be a.
splendid one. There would probably
be no question whatever of the renom-
ination of Vice President Fairbanks
for second place on the ticket If Taft
| is nominated president, except for
the fact that this combination would
represent Ohio and Indiana, when
good politics would suggest wider
distribution of the plums. Then again
1t is known that the party leaders
would like to have a New York state
man on the ticket somewhere. With
Governor Hughes out Of the race, at
his own request, it is not quite plain
whom New York can present for hon
ors, unless possibly it might be ex-
Lieut.. Gen. Timothy L. Woodwork.
| Beyond all shadow of doubt, as
far as first place on the ticket is con-
cerned. 1t is now a question of Taft
or Roosevelt and since those forces
which have been most persistently op-
posing the nomination of Secretary
Taft harbor a far greater antipathy to
! the denomination Of President Roose-
welt it would look to a man up tree
as though the disintegration Of the
| forces opposed to Taft viii mean
Taft's triumphant nomination on the
! first ballot.

TWO PRISONERS
BREAK CITY JAIL
VAN DYKE ESCAPE FROM
CITY BAsTILE.
ARE NOW AT LARGE
Exit Effected Through the Side Of the
Building by Using Portion Of
a Stove to Chisel Through
the Wall.

A daring and successful jail delivery
was accomplished during the early
hours Of this morning at the bastile in
the city building. AS result two
prisoners, James Terrill and Warren
Van Dyke, have made good their
escape. While the third member OF
the group. Stanley Wiley, who sought
freedom in this manner returned to
the police station and gave himself
up, telling the night sergeant Of the
escape of the prisoners.
The delivery was accomplished by
breaking through the brick wall on the
alley side of the building at distance
some ten to twelve feet above the
ground. The instruments used for eff
fecting the exit through the brick and
mortar, Is thought to have been parts
of stove that stands within the jail.
Stove Disconnected.
This stove was partially disconnect-
ed and portions Of 1t used as tools
with which to chisel through the wall
The wall is covered on the inside by
sheet iron for the distance of about
eight feet in height and the hole in
the wall was made above the iron lin
ing.
A hole was dug out or the wall suf-
fcently large to permit an ordinary
person to get through, it being about
ID by 20 inches in dimensions. The
perpetrators evidently obtained assist.
ance from the inside and Judging
from the height of the hole above the
ground it would appear that assistance
was given from the outside as well.
