TITLES—EMPTY
AND OTHERWISE.
With the mobilizing of an army of
several million men we are bound to
witness a mushroom growth of mili
tary titles bestowed more or less pro
miscuously upon erstwhile plain,
everyday citizens. Still, there is no
cause for alarm over the likelihood
of this having a tendency to upset
our time-honored custom of social
simplicity and encourage class distinc
tion. Titles that distinguish military
rank serve it very useful purpose dur
ing war time, but it goes without say
ing that Americans will preserve their
rare gift of humor until the war ends,
and then the man and his record will
count for everything and the title for
nothing.
What are titles anyway? Do they
give dignity to the holder? The man
who deserves one as a rule over
shadows his title. We speak of Bal
four, Asquith, Lloyd George and Ke
rensky, and forget to mention their
titles. It is only the little fellow
whom we decorate in such a manner.
We mark the great men by plain
names. Does England speak of the
great Kitchener as Field Marshal or
• K. of K.," and did it not always call
Roberts plain "Bobs?’’ The hero of
the Marne was "Papa" Joflre to the
French people and no title Napoleon
ever received meant so much to h;s
soldiers as “The Little Corporal.'*
America can attest to the same dis
position to speak of her great men in
plain and familiar terms. We speak
of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson
Kwhs ter, Clay, Lincoln, Grant. Sher
man, Sheridan and all the other illus
trious Americans, content to dignify
them by the simple use of their plalr
names. And if, perchance, we wish t(
grow familiar, we speak of "Oil
Rough and Ready,” "Old Abe" an(
“Little Phil.” Some of these met
w'ere of such a character as to no
even permit of the use o. familial
names in their day, or since
____ r,_ V»'S* . WTO iTTWXr
use is confined by common consent
to certain whimsical old men who fail
to sense the humor in the application.
The South has made a specialty of this
for years. For generations every
white man born south of the Mason
and Dixon line has been a colonel or
t < major or something else, it is ali
very fine, only it doesn't amount to
much. Tlie story goes that Arkansas
makes a colonel out of every distin
guished northerner it catches in Lit
tle Rock and that Kentucky made u
fellow by the name of Lanrpton a
colonel for writing the poem:
The corn is full of Uei neis,
and the colonel's full of corn.
And" although the South has more
colonels and majors than you <an
shake a stick at, It remained for the
single, solitary Southerner, Private
John Allen of Mississippi, to become
the foremost man of his stato for two
generations. We remember this man
when we have forgotten all the rest.
So with thh country at large. Our
aide men need no titles and the others
who insist upon decorating themselves
with titles are perfectly harmless und
will not disturb the equilibrium of our
social system a particle.

A LIVELY YOUNG MAN
Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary, Kerensky still appears to lie
very much in evidence — as Kornlloff
has discovered to his sorrow — and
continues to rule Russia with an Iron
hand. Instead of permitting his ene
mies to celebrate his funeral, he has
afforded his friends an apportunity lo
rejoice over his marriage. All of
which goes to show that he Is still of
sound sanity and that his superior
nerve has not been shattered a par- |
tide. ]
Kerensky is a unique Individual. He
lms the habit of counfounding his ene
mies in the most casual and common
plaoe manner. To stamp out a seri
ous revolution, proclaim a republic
over 175,000,000 souls, and take unto
himself a wife — all in the short
space of one week — is Incontrovert
ible evidence that he is still on the job
and going strong,

EXPLORER HEADS LARGE

The coast and geodetic survey ship
Explorer has the distinction of being
the first ocean going ship to pass

canal into the waters of Lake Union.
The Explorer is now anchored In win

probable that the Patterson will join

barges as well ns the large ocean go

started anchoring In Lake Union,
which being fresh water, dears their
bottoms of the marine growths, and
i'l the case of wooden ships, relieves
them of the teredo pest.
