HARD TO PLEASE:

If our representatives abroad, espe-
cially at the court of ST. James, are
too formal they lack the open hearted
frankness Of this great republic of
ours and if they bend the knee too
eagerly they are mere f1unkies. Oh,
that these wiseacre editors that are
continually fault finding and snarling
at our representatives abroad, had the
opportunity to act in their stead, then
we would see perfection presented in
these important official positions.
