﻿T-BONE SLIM DISCUSSES CERTAINTY IS UNCERTAIN 
 
A gentleman from Spokane writing in letters to the SUN says he is “here only pleading, for the correct use of the word ‘gentleman’.” 
He says that the word “gentleman” properly means a man of noble birth or, in the case of Americans, a man descended from noble European families.” (Not much of a drop). 
“But,” he wails, “the term no longer has this significance in our American speech. What term will we substitute for it? “Aristocrat” will not do. It has an arrogant flavor.— 
I would suggest the gentleman join the I. W. W. and call ‘em “parasites.” 
Things are changing!—T-b. S.
