The Promotion of Mir. Skinner

We have sought in vain for extended comment by democratic newspapers on the promotion of Robert P. skinner to be consul-general at Berlin. What the democratic editors think about it may not be print. The mails more care fully guarded than they were a few years ago.
 MT Skinner is d republican. He entered the consular service sixteen years ago because he was a friend of President McKinIey rather than be- cause any known or suspected fitness for the service. Skinner the editor of a small news paper at A1asslon a small far from Can ton. the home Mckinley and through the exciting campaign of 1896 Skinner a member of the general staff the Mckinley front porch Whether or his political journalistic services were of any real value. they were appreciated by MT Mckinley.
 The next year. skinner who may have heard of a place called Marsenles d off country called France was appointed consul that point In those days there were fees and perquistes which made the job worth while
 skinner knew no more o consular duties than millions of his fellow citizens but he went at them intended take up diplomatic life as a profession. He qualified by work ton to detail until indeed. When some years later after Mir Mckinley had passed away and Skinner left without any other pull than sheer merit. there was need of an efficient consul general the important port of Hamburg. After d careful examination of the consular list the department officials could find nobody else well qualified for Hamburg as Skinner he there.
 Last month the democratic administration needed abler consul general Berlin. It would, doubtless preferred this difficult but very remunerative position d better democrat than Skin who is better democrat than William Me Kinley was. but democrats for the last sxty-three years neglected study of diplomatic consular affairs that visibly available. Possibly the democratic administration could have untrained democrat with the natural capacity for the service that the untrained Skinner had sixteen years ago, when uncombed and unWashed diplomat he Marseiles but there time look around for hidden talent and for unseen, bIushing
 Comparatively few American consuls survive the administrations under which they appointed. Unless Skinner proved himself be usual consul he would probably have lived through the Roosevelt and Taft administrations certainly would have ended his career in the first democratic adm ministration.
 The to young man, contained Skinner episode, is that it grow in whatever job he may find himself until he big through growth be symmetrical be merely Iargement of the head.
