Show Oratory and Its Dangers. Grand oratory is a new thing, and It seems to bo dangerous. Ulysses S. novor talked, and, therefore, never got into trouble on account of his tongue. It Is a good rule for soldiers and Bailors, Bail-ors, says tho Washington Star. Even politicians, whoso business it Is to talk nnd who should study words In all of their power both to enlighten nnd to contuse, often trip and find It necessary to Issue a supplement carrying car-rying a koy to tho first edition. In this day of banquets nnd addresses, when everybody Is drafted und few smilingly decline, the pica of misquotation misquo-tation Is often made. But tho fact remains re-mains thnt tho difllctilty Is moro frequently fre-quently with 1 ho speaker than with tho reporter. Tho latter, ns a rule, Is practiced In his duty, and has no cuds to Bcrvo but those of accuracy, whllo tho unpractlced speaker Is liable to say unintended things and regret Intended In-tended things after they have been snld. Cold typo Is'tho greatest of eyo-openers. |
