'Passing of the "Colonels ' Tte picturesque figure of the Blue Grass region, the : "Kentucky Colonel," is threatened with extinction if th' , governor of that stiite heeds the protest of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars ugainst the appointment of civilians to h'K staff. Through this custom, it is asserted, politicians who never woixj h uniform or smelled powder, have ac quired a military title. There ai more of this type to liie square foot in Kentucky than in any other state. Hut they bore their dignity so charmingly that the rest of the country,, who knew them through fiction and the movies, must regret their threatened disappearance. Happily, that rill be gradual. No retroactive law can be passed abolish ing the titles already acquired. Future stale executives will .no longei'. confer the honor, and with the passing of the present holdci's the species will be extinct. The -thirteenth amenrrment 'wiped out slavery; th eighteenth amendment drove John Barleycorn to the hills imdthe moonshiners; the auto is pushing the horse to the tide of the road, and now the Veterans of Foreign Wain threaten the proud overlord of them all, the "Kentucky fiolonel," with extinction. But, one is tempted to argue on.behalf of the delightful, is it any more incongruous t:i bestow a military title on a civilian than to confer a civil degree, as L. L. D., on a military man, as was done by irtiF colleges on several heroes of tho late war? Maybe it would be best to limit the practice of conlei iing degrees or titles in both wises. Greatness S. H.
