Go l. L;;nnht on Must and Mustn't.
(Atchison Globe.)

The highbrow slams the cigaret and says it is the worst thing yet in vented by the crafty devil. He stern ly warns the men and boys they must foreswear its 'opey joys if they would live upon the level. He tells of grief that must ensue unless the dope sticks they eschew, and mend their wicked ways instanter; that those who use the paper pills are due for forty-seven ills, according to this roaring ranter And still the trade in coffin nails moves onward like a ship that sails, or like the somewhat swifter steamer. Still men buy mak- in's by the pound, alfalfa cuts straight still abound. despite the noise of dreary screamer. And other jays who seek reform, and with loud voices the air make warm, may hereby grab some helpful learning. That wheth- CT smoking cigarets or warning on the suffragets, had best not make his words too burning, Man scorns the one who tells him that he must do or what he must not, and by his every action, shows it.

TRAINED DIPLOMATS NEEDED.

Equivocal treaties have all absorb ing interest. Americans are loath to believe that their connttrEy's word is less respected than that of other na- tions, but such a charge has been made. and even the president has re peated it to persuade faltering Dem ocrats to a repeal of canal tolls eA- emption. It may be, as distinguuish- ed statesmen have asserted, that the Hay-Pauncefote convention said one thing and meant another. Or, again, it may be merely that foreign diplo- mats are adept at suggesting our err TOTS while American diplomats lack the inesse to parry the thrust suc- cessfully.
 But, in any event, the time is not inopportune for pointing to the tre- mendous advantage jenjoyed in it's international relations by a nation that brings up it's diplomats through
 
 and then conditions their tenure on satisfactory service rather than on party membership. International bargaining is singularly delicate, and grows more so as the activities of men and nations multiply. It calls for the brightest minds, the broadest information, the most acute percep- tion and cosmopolitan culture, that in the very nature of rapid rota- tions, can hardly be an identifying mark of American diplomacy. .
 It would be wide of the mark to charge the canal case solely to art less diplomacy But it is apparent that the relations of the United States with some of it's neighbors are handicapped by lack of the diplo- matte habit, into which Great Britain long ago grew because it gave no thought to democratic rotation with it's unacceptable consequences of un- trained men in the service. Rear Ad- miral Wainwright, speaking the oth- CT day to the American Academy of Political and Social Science, said that Oriental misunderstanding of the United States was largely due to our untrained. representatives.
 The "shrewd Yankee" is entitled to preen himself on his shrewdness. But it is too much to assume that native American ability. no matter how sub erbly trained in general scholarship, can always cope in the diplomatic arena with the subtle specialization fo men who have spent their whole careers in diplomatic service. The United States has not suffered per ceptibly in the estimation of the world because of the past, but an equivocal treaty of the moment, and an impression abroad that the coun- try does not live up to it's bargains, suggest the need for better trained diplomats in the future. They can come only by abolishing quadrennial rotations and by resolving henceforth not to make our embassies and prin- cipal consular, posts reward for stump speeches.-Indianapolis Star
