To (lec01`:1tinr_1s which carry no titles thv ol)_je(-tion is not nearly so strong, says the journalistic oracle, and to us it is aniother siy.rn of the slinllo\\'11(-ss and 111'tlfl(`lll_t}' of this (-riticism. The Globe sinilos with })]')I'()\':ll upon :1 mun who ap- pears in public with 1110(l11lS or rib- bons upon his breast, but frowns and jeers at :u1otl1o1- man who has 21 prefix to his name.

It is intended as a compliment to the whole Dominion. That is a point which has been entirely lost sight of in this discussion. \Ve believe it to be the reason for the numerous dis- tinctions conferred upon public men in Canada and other parts of the Empire; and all this adverse criti- cism appears to us to come with ill grace from a country which it is sought to honour. ___ REGISTRATION NEXT SATURDAY National DulyTlmposed Up- on All Mgles a111{l_ Females Next Saturday is Registration Day. It is important that everyone, r.esi(lent either in town or country, should I`eII1(`ll1l')CI' this, for it is com- pulsory for every male 01: female of sixteen yc-m's and over to register. Persons over (30 years of age are under the impression that they need not 1'o.;iste1' but it is ohlifzatory on them to register in order that their actual age may be known. The order-in-council p1'0vi for this reg'istratio11 confers consi(le1'able power on deputy registrars. They have absolute control of the booths under their care and may even make arrests it their regulations are not respected 1+ :2 nnf. nooessarv that a person respecteu It is not necessary person should re_"iste1' in his or her own particular (li\`isio11 He can Reg`iste1' where it is most convenient.
