COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS AS con-
SULS.

We think It was suggested last week
that n)w was the timo TO tackle the pres
ent administration and call its hand on
the proposition 10 make consuls OF travel
Ing men. President Mckinley committed
himself several years ago, when governor
of Ohio. on this subject, by saying that he
thought commercial travellers peculiarly
adapted for the position of consul to a
foreign port. He was correct then and he
ought TO practice what he breaches. a con-
sui is nothing on earth but a commercial
agent. He has naught TO do with diplomacy
and there is no man in this country so
well equipped to do good work in that posi-
ton as the commercial traveller,
If the business men of this country ever
hope to extend our trade with foreign
countries, they will have 10 see to it that
business men are sent as consuls TO for
eign ports and that ward heelers and un-
scrupulous political wire workers are rele-
gated to the rear and not given those posi-
tions as rewards for party work. Every
appointment to a consulship so far has
been OF the latter kind, Not a single com-
mercal traveller has been given that Kind
of place 1t is not because there are no
good republicans in their ranks. There are
plenty of them and we believe one, at
least, in this State has filed Lis application
for such position. Ths ''boys' should
bestir themselves and .ee that they are
given representation among this country's
consuls. II they can land Texas man.
SO much the better.
In the meantime we would suggest to the
boys" to study Spanish. for our trade
with Central and South America viii con-
tinue TO grow from now on asl tho man
who can speak Spanish Will be in demand
