Correspondence @he SPECTATOR

SIR,-In an article on cities in Den
mark" which appears in the current
number of the Spectator, the writer speaks
of "the absurdity of abolishing titles in a
country where it is not proposed to abol-
ish hereditary monarchy ;" tells US that "if
history shows anything conclusively, it is
that society can abolish titles, but that
Parliament cannot ;" and warns us that
the experiment has been tried three times
in modern history under most favourable
circumstances, and has only succeeded
once,' Wis, in the United States. "And
in Norway" the Danish Radicals might
triumphantly reply, for in that sister Scan
dinavian land, hereditary nobility has been
abolished by a law which passed the
Storthing, August 1, 1921, and now there
exists in Norway no privilege of birth.
And yet, to use the words of Mr.. Laing,
in his "Residence in Norway, 1867
words equally applicable to the people in
1874, as any one who knows "Gamie
Norge would tell you--"the N~orwegians
are unquestionabfy a loyal people, attach
ed in the highest degree to their Sovereign
and his family."-f am, Sir, sc,
Oxford, November 23rd.
ANTHONY L. MAYHEM.
[Mr. Mayhem is mistaken, the Norwe-
gian example being on our side. The
Storthing of 1921 did not abolish titles,
though it abolished privileges. 1t pfohib-
tied the grant Of new titles, but allowed
existing ones to die out, the exact process
we recommended to the Danes. There
were, but fifteen titled mobiles, in our sense,
in Norway, and they are not extinct yet.
, 1874-12-19

and suffer them to die out. All English
men recollect With mingled shame and
amusement how hard Parliament strove
to suppress the use of territorial titles
by Roman Catholic Bishops, and how
utterly the law failed, the very Members
who voted for the Bill using the pro-
hibited titles the next week on their
letters. A Protestant people, wild with
annoyance and excitement, could not
put down distinctively Catholic titles, even
by legislation. The English penalties
may seem to Danish observers too feeble
for the end which it was sought to secure,
but they will hardly be able to go far
ther than the French Terrorisss did, and
the Terrorists failed as completely as
the English House of Commons. They
swept away privileges, many of them
involving rights of contract, without a
struggle they altered the laws regulating
the devolution of property without a
serious contest they abolished the mobiles
in such fashion that no aristocratic Cham
Der has been able to secure real power
in France ; but the effort to do away with
titles, though made in frantic earnest,
altogether failed. During two years, to
bear d title or use a title as a mode OF
address, was to invite a sentence of death
at the hands either of the executioner
or of the mob, and during many years
the practice was legally prohibited but
the titles remained nevertheless, and if
historical, are as much used and as much
valued in France as ever. They are
protected by no law, and no prejudice,
and no national habit, but only by the
dislike Of every man to commit a gra-
uitous-EHaddeHaees and tie protection is
sufficient. AS they convey no privilege,
it Is worth no mans while to assail them,
except with argument or ridicule and
argument and ridicule have always been
powerless against social habits which any
class has, or thinks it has, a strong interest
in maintaining, The Danish Radicals
will fail, just as the French Radicals
tailed; and while falling, will have
wasted the force which, wisely applied,
might have abolished all the privileges
which are really injurious to those who
do not possess them, and which they,
from habit. connect with the labels
borne by those who are usually invested
with them : and will, moreover, have
greatly deepened the popular notion Of
the Importance of the distinctions which
they SO earnestly desire to deprive of any
Importance at all.

The Danes can abolish privilege, but not
titles, and according to the telegram, were
trying to do the latter only. Fuller in
formation shows that they desire to abol-
ish nobility altogether, which they can. do
on the Norwegian scheme, but in no other
way.-ED. SPECTATOR

A CARD.

The general opinion of all the leading grain
markets is now that the price of wheat instead
of going up may go still lower, in view of the
fact that good crops have been harvested in
England, France, Germany, Hungary, Russia,
etc, and large crop in California and Oregon
and there seems to be no cause whatever for
an advance in price. Considering these every
where conceded facts, and the extreme dull
ness in trade all over the country, for one ur,
gently request all my customers, without any
exception, to settle their notes and accountsat
an early date, in order to enable me to meet
my obligations, as l must have money to do
business with. Very respectfully yours

A BRUTAL Row.-Last Monday
evening our citizens had their peace
disturbed by another row, the result
of the villainous wbiskey that Specht
has been allowed to deal out to his
customers. Thomas Larkins and Ed
Bartlett had some words in Specht's
saloon which the proprietor endeavor-
ed TO quiet, but instead, got into q
fracas with Larkins himself, and DUR
ing the fight Specht got Larkins' ear
| between his teeth and with bull dog
tenacity held on until he severed the
member. After about an hour the
! lost ear was found and by DR.. Clarke
sewed on; which the same ear is now
in a fair way of uniting. The next
morning Specht was arrested and
fined $50 under the village ordinance
for breaking the peace. AS soon as
the fine was paid Specht was arrested
for the crime of mayhem and ordered
to give $500 for his appearance at the
next term Of Court. He was allowed
until the next morning to furnish his
sureties; since which time he has not
made his appearance, and the Mar
shall gives it as his opinion that the
man has gone, as he was seen to take
a boat at the Po.osi landing yester.
day. 1t such is the case, he should
