THE PROPOSED trump" HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES,

There is serious possibility of very
real trouble for the regular organiza-
ton of the House of Representatives
IN the proposal of leading insurgent Re
publicans that sort of third party be
formed. composed of the anti-Cannon
Republicans. for parliamentary pur-
poses. They evidently have been read
ing their history of the last generation
in British parliamentary experience,
and have come across the story of Lord
Randolph Churchill's independent party
in a close house OF commons, which,
with three or four members firmly
sticking together, managed to get into
the position of almost dictators. They
could make or mmake the government,
and therefore lest they unmake 1t,
they were permitted 10 dictate a share
of its program outrageously dispro-
portionate to their mere numerical i'm
portance.
Whether there are enough of the
Republican malcontents 10 swing the
balance of power, and whether, espe-
cially. they would have the nerve and
the stesdfastness TO bind themselves
together TO act upon the dictum of
a rump caucus. il is hard 20 believe.
Yet insurgency has grown not only
wondrous respectable In the last year,
but also has become a highly available
political asset in many States. It
needs but few more than a score of
Republicans, acting as a unit. to take
the control Of the House out of the
hands Of the Speakers force. IF the
Democrats would go along-a thing
they have not displayed overmuch dis
position to do, when they have come
to the scrstch-such an organization
would keep the Speaker in hot water all
the time. and ought occasionally 20
overturn him on particular issues.
Speaker Cunon continues q most
useful bogie man throughout many
States. TO fight him is popular pro
ceeding. as it ought 30 be- for Cannon
rule has well nigh destroyed the
Houses interest IN the legislative
partnership. 1t is poor argument to
say that an insurgency which would
overtun the rules would bring chaos
and prevent the House giving consider
alton to legislation. The House doesn't
give consid grafton to legislation as it.

AMERICAN PHYSICIANS BET
TER THAN FOREIGN.

1t has come to be so fashionable for
folks who can afford it to trek away
to Europe in search of a physician or
surgeon of distinguished reputation
and prices when the slightest malady
seizes them that it is a comfort 10
hear the verdict Of DR.. Louis Livingston
Seaman on the relative merits of Amer
lean and foreign medical men Or.
Seaman has just returned from the
international medical congress at Buda-
pest, where he was an American dele
gate. He is enthusiastic over the show
ing made by the Americans at the
congress and found that the American
doctor didn't have to take back seat
for any of the foreign members of the
healing profession.
What is more, DR.. Seaman concludes
it is insanity for Americans to hustle
over to Europe to find a doctor when
they can find physicians and surgeons
here who can walk all around" the
European medical men. In the case of
appendicitis, the Americans excel, not
alone in the operation, but in the
treatment. OF course, some one will
probably say that in view of the prac-
tice the American doctors get in this
line they ought to excel. Still, it's a
comfort to know that as long as ap-
pendicitis is In vogue and as common
as toothache, your physician living next
door or just around the corner can
carve you up and attend to your re-
cuperation from the effects little more
scientifically than any foreigner could
do it.
The conclusions of DR.. Seaman on
the whole are distinctly refreshing and
confirm what we have long suspected.
that this business of seeking a cure in
London or Paris or Berlin or Vienna
or some foreign watering place is in
large measure a fad.
As to another phase of medical and
sanitary matters, DR.. Seaman is sensi-
bic. He called attention at the congress
to the great Importance of proper mill
'tary sanitation, in which this country
has been VIGOROUSLY backward. as the
fearful loss Of life from disease in the
Spanish war showed. He emphasized
the need of an efficient medical de-
partment and offered a handsome prize
TOR the best essay on military santa
ton And to emphasize what can be
lone IN this matter, he reminded me
delegates of the splendid sanitary
achievements of the japanese military
surgeons in the war in the far East

RIOTING MARKS STRIKE
IN NORTHERN COLLERIES
General Manager and Women
and Children Injured

GLACE BAY, B. c., July 7.-Riotous
scenes at the collieries. an assault on
General Manager Duggan, the reading
of the riot act. the injury of several
workmen, IL arrests and the refusal of
Mayor Douglas of Glace Bay to call
out the troops at the request of the
company, were the special features
that marked the second day of the
strike of the United Mine Workers of
America in the employ of the Dominion
coal company.
An enormous crowd, composed of
strikers and their friends, assembled
at the collieries early today. When the
first strike breaker appeared they bore
down on him and a riot started. Cen
eral Manager Duggan and a posse of
police charged the crowd. Several
women and children were knocked
down and a number were Injured.
At colliery No tonight the strikers
are in charge of the situation. There
a mob, assisted by women and chill
dren, attacked the men who wanted to
work and prevented all but a few from
entering the mine.
During the day 1000 strikers sur
rounded the jail in which the prisoners
arrested this morning are confined and
it was thought that an attempt would
be made to storm the place.
The police are practically powerless
to control the disorderly element. Yes
terday the saloons were closed; but
today they were wide open. again.
coal train from Dominion No. 3
mine was held up on It's way from the
pit today and derailed by the strikers.

And Financier Set for Fall

honors that make her still the cham
pion woman tennis player Of the world.
she has been the recipient of congratu-
lations from friends and admirer, but
since Tuesday afternoon the felicia
tons have taken a more personal note.
The announcement of her engage
ment to Harry B. Ham of the City of
Mexico was quite accidental, as the
news was not to have been given to
the public until the fall, no definite
plans for the future having as yet been
made. In few days Miss Sutton ex-
poets to leave for two months east
ern trip, and on her return, Ham con-
templates a trip to Pasadena.
ROMANCE BEGINS IN MEXICO
It was in Mexico that the meeting be-
tween Ham and Miss Sutton took place
and his subsequent visits to Los An
geles and to the Hotel Rafael COM
pleted the romance then begun. Since
his departure, Miss Sutton has smil-
ingly but persistently denied all ru-
mors, and only TO one or two intimate
friends did she admit the truth. In
the excitement subsequent to the new
honors being showered upon her they
forgot their promise of strict secrecy
and every one at the Hotel Rafael has
been waiting for the suspicious moment
to offer congratulations
Ham is wealthy in his own right
having large mining and oil interests
in southern California, as well as being
a prominent banking figure in the
southern city. On his fathers ranch
is the largest oil well in the world, and
their mines near Mazatlan are well
known.
1t is probable that the marriage will
take place in the late fall, and theil
home subsequently is to be for the
greater part of each year in Mexico
with frequent trips to Pasadena, where
Miss Sutton's three married sisters
make their homes.
