be q warning to the young person who
is training himself in the forensic art
expecting some day to make the halls
of the nation resound with eloQuence

cord 10 roused to action.
1t don't happen. There is something
wrong about the tradition that oratory
sways. The senators can listen to ora
tory all day and remain pulseless as
SO many fish. Either oratory Is not
comprehended as 1t should be or the
senate lacks red corpuscles.
For example. Senator w. B. Hey
burn of Idaho recently was seen to
rise and utterly waste perfectly
good broadside of eloQuence. 1t was
that noted speech in which he un-
furled the star spangled banner over
the matter Of lending federal tents to
tia United Confederate veterans for
their next reunion. It was a gem Of
a speech one that would have won
gold medal In 1861. But the re-
mainder Of the senate. callous and I'M
patriotic. did not enthuse. Indeed.
as the proud ensign was slowed back
into its black oilcloth case after Mr..
Hepburn had Haunted it. there was
not moist eye in the house. Even
the New England senators refused to
become 'het" up over the rebel
issue.
