The Whig has given considerable editorial space to a discussion of the movement to abolish the conferring of titles In Canada, It was inclined to this course partly because the question was first introduced into parliament by the member fof Kings- ton and partly because we believed that in this young democracy there was no place for class distinctions. A recent editorial, under the cap tion "Titles Not Wanted," read: "The circumstances scarcely warran- ted such a threatened attitude as the premier adopted, Had he some oth- er reason which he did not care fo shisclose 7" The "other reason" is now quite plain, and it does not reflect credit upon. Bir Robert Borden, He was willidg to stake the fate of his gov- ernment upon Mr. Nickle's motion to abolish hereditary titles and upon Mr, Richardson's amendment to abolish all titles. The Whig asked why. The recent annou t of the King's birthday honors supplies he answer. Among the list of no- ing: John William Borden, Sir Robert f{Barden's brother. Austin Brunest Blount, Sir Borden's secretary. 5 ' Now we see quite plainly the res tried to stampede threaten to Robert the house and or [41d not have his own way.
