Show The suggestion of Senator Kearns' that Sir H Thomas Lipton be chosen by King Edward as j embassador to the United States elctrifled the J world of diplomacy, as do most of the sapient ' -M utterances of the Park City statesman. The the- ' H ory of the senatorappears to be that a plenipo- ' S tentiary to a foreign nation should be chosen on j S account of his qualifications as a thoroughbred i vfl and game sport. ,If this is to be the basis for- 11 r the selection of ambassadors, why not send Bob ' I Fitzsimmons to King Edward's court in exchange f "M for Sir Thomas? If the red haired Cornishman 'i H proves sufficiently Wily for the place, we could ' ' H then greatly relieve the local moral tension by I invading the ornate courts of Europe with pugil- I ists whose sportsmanlike qualities have been am- ' ply demonstrated. We might try Terry McGov- ern at Dublin, Choyinski at Palestine and dls- , B patch Parson Davies to the palace of the Sultan. W Altogether it is a magnificent suggestion, for I which our esteemed senator should receive Hie 1 universal thanks of the turf world as Well as the U M plaudits of the ministerial association. , fl |
