Show It Is absurd to say a man Is born a gentleman. Gentility Is an acquirement, acquire-ment, like an education, ability to play on a musical instrument and work acceptably ac-ceptably at a trade. No difference how lowly a man la born, If he becomes be-comes a reliable, useful, nprlght citizen, citi-zen, he Is a gentleman. The real meaning of democracy Is that anyone living under such a government may become a gentleman ; that all have the privilege of outgrowing Ignorance, poor birth, poverty and Incivility. |
