Title giving and title bearing in Ger
many are made a serious business 1t il
dangerous to assume one that does NOT
belong to you. and it is almost equally
dangerous to withhold one from a man
to whom it does belong.
The following is an address which is
probably written thousands OF times a
week in Germany. since it is a courtesy
due to a well-known official whose rank
is far below that of a minister of state:
Highly reverend Mr. Real Privy
Councillor. highly to he reverenced Mr..
President"
The title councillor has four degrees,
thus: Positive, councillor: comparative
higher councillor: superlative. privy COUu-
cilor, and extra superlative. real privy
councillor. Then to complicate matters
there are 1OO or more other councillors.
such as councillors Of legation. councillors
OF state. sanitary councillors. forest coun-
cilors and town police councillors.
Titles of another class have to do with
the wearer's occupation. Thus a Mu-
mich newspaper records the death Of Frau

Much may he said in favor Of the Ger

sure that he has won his title in uni
versity and that his doctorate does not
emanatc from an unknown seminary.
So, too, professors are such by rank

because deserved. for the title cannot ba

between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt;
but this much was certain-the Pres
ident had failed to receive the decis-
i've vote of confidence that was neces-
sary to his political rehabilitation.
The story of Ohio seems to be the
story of Massachusetts, and Maryland
Half of the Republican voters stayed
away from the primaries. They re-
fused to take the trouble TO express
choice. In the hour of adversely Mr..
Taft could not inspire enthusiasm
among his own people in a state
which has never before faltered in its
support of Republican Presidents.
On the Democratic side the results
are even more astonishing than on
the Republican side. Gov. Harmon
needed a more decisive vindication
than Mr. Taft, in view of the aggres-
sive campaign that Mr. Bryan had
made against him. He failed to gain
this vindication. That thousands of
Ohio Democrats, In comparatively
small vote, should have expressed
their preference for the Governor of
New Jersey as against the Governor
of their own state is a decision with
out precedent in the history of Dem
ocratic politics in that state. The
Wilson vote is doubly significant, in
view of the fact that Gov. Harmon
was reelected less than two years
ago by plurality of more than 1O0,-
600.
Gov. Harmon's one chance at Bal
timore, in view of Mr.. Bryan's bitter
, opposition to his nomination, was to
demonstrate that he had the COM
