NO CONVENTION ORATORY.


Kansas City Star
1t will be noticed with regret that the
Indiana Democratic convention to-day sup
pressed all oratory. The state committee
decided to dispense with nominating
speeches and TO restrict all others, save the
chairman's, to five minutes each. The rea-
son given for this new tangled plan was
that it would expedite BUSINESSMAN absurd
excuse. Who wants TO expedite business
at a political convention?
When Thomas Edison was still a young
and enthusiastic inventor he observed the
waste of time in legislative bodies occa-
stoned by the tedious roll call on a vote
by ayes and noes. So he contrived a de-
vice by which every member, by simply
pressing button on his desk, might in
stantly register his vote But the inven-
ton found no favor for the very simple
reason mat the delay Of the roll call was
part OF the game. Suppress speech max
ing and you deprive the convention of half
It's charm. Nominations and nominating
actresses are as inSeparably associated as
nam and eggs, as courtship and kissing as
ing.

speeches? 1t would be like going TO a

ences, 10 a circus and finding no lemon

And the feature of the Kansas City con-

For other things he has been roundly de-

as Horace Greeley had been by the Democ-

case. But there was talk about imperial

While it is true that both parties have
declared in favor OF the construction OF
an isthmian canal by the United States in
their national conventions, and have en-
phasized the declaration in State conven-
lions. there is cause to suspect that the
most Of the American people not as
generally interested as the construction of
the party platforms would lead one TO in
fer. This probable lack OF interest is due
in part to the fact that many people do not
fully realize what such a waterway may
mean for the worlds commerce. but more
largely because the ten years necessary
for construction puts the completion of the
work too far into the future TO interest a
large number OF people. Nevertheless, it
is expected that Congress will pass an
isthmian canal bill before its adjournment
The House has already passed the Mica
ragua bill by practically a unanimous vote
The same bill Is under consideration in
the Senate. with a substitute presented by
Senator Spooner, providing that the Presi-
dent shall make contract for the
Panama canal and provide for its compile
tion.' II that cannot be done. he is TO ar
range for the Nicaragua route. Such is
the status of the matter at present.
The fact that the Panama company had
offered TO sell it's canal ana its rights for
a much lower price than was asked while
the canal commission was considering the
matter, has changed the situation. which
In its turn has changed public sentiment
Considering the apparent advantage of the
Panama route over the Nicaragua, it is
no wonder that the sentiment in the Senate
has changed and that the former now has
the larger number of supporters. The
leading argument or reason given for the
for the Panama is a device Of the trans
continental railroads 10 prevent the con-
struction of any canal. The newspapers
which have worked themselves into some
thing of passion over the subject make
this charge. This, however, is not a con-
vincing argument against the advocates of
the Panama route, who seem to be in
earnest TO secure the passage of the
Spooner substitute in the Senate, and who.
moreover, seem TO have the votes to do it.
Assuming that the spooner substitute will
be passed by the Senate, the test of good
faith will come when it will go TO a con-
ference committee Of the two branches.
II does not seem to be a difference where
there can be a compromise, but one side
or the other must surrender its position.

Mr.. Mason Mitchell, ex-actor. who has
been appointed United States consul at
Zanzibar. would like to have it understood
that, although he served in the Rough
Riders Regiment in the Spanish American
war his appointment came in the regular
way, he having been recommended by the
Republican club of his home county and in
dorsed by Senator Platt. He says he has
quit the stage for good. and his sole ambi-
ton now is to serve his country in the
diplomatic service The position of consul
at Zanzibar is not very diplomatic one,
yet it is a difficult position TO ill consecu-
lively for any length of time. as several
citizens of Indiana can testify. AS a place
for the development of reticence and self
control it may be good training school
for diplomacy, and it is hoped Mr.. Mitchell
will find it all his fancy paints 1t. Any
how, it is a consulship.
