THERE ARE OTHERS.
Webster Davis Not the Only Hen Wbo
Knowg About South Africa. """
Washngton, April 6 The resignation
of the desirable office of Assistant Seen-
tary of the Interior by Mr. Webster
Davis Is a much.dlscusatd tolo 6t the';-
hol, 111 .l.n(.l..l...r..lln.
oernhgIt..ome alleging that the re.lg-
nation-Is the reault of disagreement with i
fWti- mthk. nthr. that Mr'
.. "4
Davlahas political ambitions, and still
others that he is employed at a fabulous
salary Iby jlPfesldent -Kroger. Mr.
Davis's Own" story Is that he has resigned
solely because of his desire to talk and
write to the people of this country In
the Interest of the Boers without ' com
promising or embarrassing the adminis
tration; thai he Ja actuated by nothing
but sympathy for the Boers and a desire
to put their situation . truthfully : before
the people of this county. He says he
does pot noj with to embroil this coun
try with England.'but merely by arous
ing public sentiment to show to the
European powers that they may put a
stop to the war in South Africa without
any fear that the United States will aid
flreat Britain. - '
tike all orators, Mr. Davis has the
faculty of seeming to believe everything
he says, but oratory must square' with
common sense and every day business
ideas to convince the average American
of this day, and" Mr. Davis will have to
near in mind that be Isn't the only man
who knows the (south African situation
y r ; What Dewey DHV "
: WasniKOToN, April 0 Admiral Dew
ey's announcement thate Is a candidate
for President Is the moit .unique ..ever
made. Hesaya he will accept anomlna
tlon from either of the political parties,
and that If neither nominates him he is
willing to run as an Independent Candl
date: Had ibe announcement been made
before the Admiral's return from Mantis
the politicians would jiave .considered it
a very serious mater but sow,; when
the nominations of ilcK'.nley and Bryan
by their respective parties Is- generally
regarded aa already assured, they treat
It very lightly and weak of the Admiral
as the victim of an ambitious Wire.
But outside of professional political
circles, the an nouncement Is seriously
considered, and many ate predicting that
Dewey will frighten some of the politic
ians out of theli boots if he runs as an
independent oandidate. Admiral Dewey
saps he made the ' announcement In re
sponse to repeated requests from .every
section of the country, and because he
"has become convinced that the people
want htm for President. Whether he Is
correctly Informed- or not will, soon be
made apparent by the manner in which
the' people ' receive his announcement -What
the" people of the country really
want tbey have a way of getting.
