TRAINED DIPLOMATS NEEDED.
Equivocal treaties have an absorb
ing interest. Americans are loath to
believe that their eflnntrjr’f* word is, (
Ipss respected than that of other na
tions, but such a charge has been
''made, and even the president has re
peated it to persuade faltering Dem
ocrats to a repeal of canal tolls ex
emption. It may be, as distinguuish
ed statesmen have asserted, that the
llay-Pauncefote convention said one
thing and meant another. Or, again,
it, may be merely that foreign diplo
mats are adept at suggesting our er
rors while American diplomats lack
'the finesse to parry the thrust suc
cessfully.
But, in any event, the time is not
inopportune for pointing to the tre
mendous advantage /enjoyed in its
international relations by a nation
that brings «p its diplomats through
a long and rigorous apprenticeship
and then conditions their tenure on
satisfactory service rather than on
party membership. International
bargaining is singularly delicate, and
grows more so as the activities of
men and nations multiply. It calls
for the brightest minds, the broadest
information, the most acute percep
tion and a cosmopolitan culture, that
in the very nature of rapid rota
lions, can hardly be an identifying
mark of American diplomacy.
It would be wide of the mark to
charge the canal case solely to art
less diplomacy . But it is apparent
that the relations of the United
States with some of its neighbors
are handicapped by lack of the diplo- j
maitc habit, into which Great Britain |
long ago grew because it pave no j
thought to democratic rotation witli i
its inescapable consequences of un- '
t rained men in the service. Bear Ad-I
miral Wainwright, speaking the oth- i
er day to the American Adttdemy of
Political and Social Science, said'that
Oriental misunderstanding of the
United States was largely due to our
untrained, representatives.
The “shrewd Yankee” is entitled to
preen himself on his shrewdness. But
it is too much to assume that native
American ability, no matter how sub
erbly trained In general scholarship,
can always cope in the diplomatic
arena with the subtle specialization
fo men who have spent their whole
careers In diplomatic service. The
United States has not suffered per
ceptibly in the estimation of the
world because of the past, but an
equivocal treaty of the moment, and
an Impression abroad that the coun
try does not live up to its bargains,
suggest the need for better trained
diplomats in the future. They can
come only by abolishing quadrennial
rotations and by resolving henceforth
not to make our embassies and prin
cipal consular, posts a reward for
stump speeches.—Indianapolis. Star.
Go U;ht On Must and Mustn’t.
f
(Atchison Globe.)
The highbrow slams the cigaret
and says it is the worst thing yet in
vented by the crafty devil. He stern
ly warns the men and boys they must
foreswear Us 'opey joys if they
would live upon the level. He tells
of grief that must ensue unless the
dope sticks they eschew, and mend
their wicked ways instanter; that
those who use the paper pills are due
for forty-seven ills, according to this
roaring ranter. And still the trade
in coffin nails moves onward like a
ship that sails, or like the somewhat
.swifter steamer. Still men buy mak
in’s by the pound, alfalfa cuts straight
still abound, despite the noise of
dreary screamer. And other jays who
seek reform, and with loud voices
the air make warm, may hereby grab
some helpful learning. That wheth
er smoking cigarets or warring on
the suffragets, had best. not make
his words too burning. Wan scorns
the one who tells him that he must
. do or what be must not, and by
: his every action,'shows it. Nor need
you tfl him what, is wrong?, for,
get the burden of my song, the sin
ner always kdows 4t.—From the
Rubaiyat of a Retired Reformer.
