GEORGIA LAWYERS
DO NOT Want TITLES
They Would CUt Out" the
COl." and "HOD."

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 1S.-The entire
Georgia bar is interested in move
ment started by some of its members
to stop the promiscuous use of irrel
eoant titles in the Cracker State. They
want to "cut out the colonels."
1t is suggested that such titles rs
colonel, captain and judge be applied
only to those who have rightly earned
them, on the battlefield or in military
service in time of peace, or on the
bench. Such a reform, if carried out,
would be epoch-making in its small
way. From time immemorial it has
been the custom in Georgia, particu-
larly in small communities, to call ev-
cry lawyer colonel after he reaches
middle age, except in the event he
wears whiskers, when he is calle1
Judge" instead, Many of the men
en- whom these titles have been thruss
by usage, it is said, are far from desir-
ing them, and are really embarrassed
by their use. 1t is they themselves
who want the custom abolished. The
class of people who covet such titles
without meriting them is said to be to
day so small as to be negligible. The
type has passed who used to sing, or
think:
81 want to be a colonel,
And with the colonies stand;
A cockade in my hat
And a cocktail in my hand"
Most of the spurious colonels Of
today have not usurped their titles.
They have simply had them thrust up
on them by usage which they deplore.
In fact the leaders in the movement
are we'll known attorneys whose
friends have been for years calling
them colonel"
