NEWSPAPER OPINION
Mr.. Cables S Plan

W.T. OdDlt ran
From the New York Times.
Ben. T. Cables methods are rev.
In the whole course Of the
discussion about restoring harmony in
the Democratic party no suggestion has
been made so astonishing as the IDEA
attributed to him that "Whether the
Democrats control the next House or
not. It is highly necessary to have a few
really strOrg men in Congress who can
give tone and dignity to the minority
operations and lay a foundation for
the Presidential campaign" Mr.. Gable
is said to be actually looking about in
the Northwest for Democrats of such
standing and ability and so dis
tinguished and well-known that il they
would accept nomination for Congress
they would probably carry even Ropub-
lican districts.
Under the leadership OF Mr.. Bryan
IL has been the practice of the party
to name men who Oftenumes had great
difficulty IN carrying the Democratic
districts. The party has sert to the
House of Representatives little men,
empty men, men who we're weak and
silly in debate incompetent to form
opinions Of party policy, and incapable
of furnishing from their number a
minority leader who was not ludicrous-
ly unequal to his opportunity.
Mr.. Cable is a sensible man and a
good politician. The advantage of
sending Democrats of worth and at
tainments to Congress would naturally
occur to him. But Mr. Bryan will OPP
pose his policy of redeeming the name
of the party by sending some of the
best OF its men to take the place in
Congress of the small fry who have
gone there during the years of Bryan''
sway.

The New Era In south America

From the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Chamberlain's temperance in
the House of Commons was marked
with some utterances concerning the
reconstruction of South Africa which
a few of his CRITICS affect to regard as
weak and faltering, but which will
doubtless be esteemed by the world
generally as promising a wise solution
of problems and benefcent conduct
.of affairs in that much vexed quarter
'of the British Empire Memories of
reconstruction in our own Southern
States are still sufficiently keen to
give Americans a pretty fun apprecia-
tion Of the difficulties which beset the
government of South Africa. It is of
good omen that Mr.. Chamberlain and
his lieutenants are addressing them
selves to the case in a temperate and
conciliatory, and at the same time

Sir: The Sunday Star does not

The gas company is giving the same
pressure and the same amount of gas
as il gave to the Welsbach Company.
The difference is in the superior fix
