The Presidents Title,

In spite Of our traditions and our pre-
lenses Americans dearly love a title.
It's fair guess that larger part Of
the mail that goes to the White House
Is addressed to His Excellency" or
His Eminence' or His Honor" As
a matter Of fact his title Is The Presi-
dent of the United States. That Is title
80 great that the fathers decided that to
add to 1t would be to detract from it.
The fathers were WISE Taking their
cue from the federal practice the con-
stitution makers nor the statute max
ers Of New York ever gave the chief
executive of this commonwealth other
title than the governor Of New York.
Every governor Of the state has been
content with that. Address him so In
letter or In speech and You are right.
Decorate him with an 'excellency" or
an "honor" and you are wrong. The
governor Of Massachusetts Is His Ex-
cellency by warrant Of the constitution
Of 1880, but he is the only excellency
we have In America.-New York Sun.

The statement that the captain and

mont. Assuming that the officers in

their duty, is IL customary to let all Of
