For the DEMOCRAT,
WHO rs WORTHY A TITLEf

Every man who has name should have his
proper title Of Mr.. given him.
III woman Is worthy the name of wife, should
she not have her proper prefix as well2 These
things are so. And If So why do we constantly
hear married ladies Sailed" and "Mollied," and
even gentlemen of mature years, "JohnnHed' and
"samled" all over the country by men, women,
boys, and even little children just learning to
talk OF course IL sounds more offensive to hear
children speak so, but what can we expect when
they do not even get precept to the contrary? l
believe that If the children Of larger growth
would give them proper example, they would
unconsciously mould their conversation to the
copy.
We should give the aged their titles, because
we respect their age and experience. Those be-
longing to the professional, because we respect
the professions. The worthy, because we respect
them. The unworthy, because we respect our.
selves too much to be considered their equals.
Ofcourse, by our near relations and intimate
friends we all prefer to be addressed and spoken
of in a short familiar way. But those intimate
friends we certainly wish to be of our own seleC.
ton, instead of having them thrust upon us pei
mel,
We should first with others, be positively GER
tain that we are desired as such friend, and last
but assuredly not least, be sure that the position
will reflect honor upon us. For If we do not re.
spect ourselves, no person else will. If you con-
slider man scarcely worthy his title, we ought
If we have any refinement or natural dignity
about us to respect our own characters too much
TO want to be an intimate friend Of his as people
will have right to think, If we fall into the habit
ofcalllng him Sam or Bill.
1t is mistaken idea to think that by leaving
off the handle" as some call it, you rob him Of
honor and still preserve your own. For by so do
ing you place yourself exactly on an equality
with him. SALOME 81, JOHN

AS year after year is waited into eternity and

Mccain, one Of the two Republican members
of the city council, made his maiden blow out last
Monday evening. He opposed the renting OF
suitable office for the Mayor, and seemed to think,
or at least pretended to think, merely for the sake
of gab that the Mayor ought to be compelled to
sit day after day in the damp and unwholesome
basement of the courthouse and there contract
Ills and diseases that would lay him out for a
second term quicker than the votes In the second
ward will settle McCann's hash.
