The following is an editorial from
the Post Dispatch of the 18th inst:
when Il leader of the New York
400 declared in connection with public
comment on the recent Aston scandal
that the press was making this coun-
try unfit to live in. she spoke the truth
from her standpoint. She said it
was abominable that the affairs of
great families should be discussed by
the rabble. 1t must be confessed that
the press and great many people in
country have little respect for great
families whose greatness is founded
upon an inherited pot of money and an
of conceit. They have
a disposition not only to criticise their
vulgarity, but to make
sport and laughter of their supercil-
ious airs and vain assumptions. The
rabble will discuss their affairs. 1t is
sad for the'great families OF this coun-
try that this sort of thing cannot be
There Ia really no advant-
age in belonging to great family If 1t
is impossible to command respect for
it's greatness and to check the criti-
cism and ridicule of the rabble and the
press. But there is nothing to be done
but to seek some land friendlier to
snobbery. where tbs rahhle may be
and the press muzzled. The
truth is that, large as this country is.
there is no room in it for great fam
ilies.' The people are not used to
them and are not likely to acquire the
knack of suhserviency and humility so
necessary to their prosperous content"
We also think it just horrible to
have to read such things. The idea OF
calling our great American families
,nobs! Why, Mr.. Editor, it's a posi-
i've shame to have our illustrious
names dragged through the mire as it
we're by foul smelling newspapers and
familiarity spit from the vulgar mouths
Of the riffraff. the ragtag and bobtail,
the peasants of this great empire. 1t
IS really too bad that this is thus. The
-Four Hundred ought to be
allowed to enjoy life without having
their names dragged before the vulgar
public. Even "Murphy," as high and
exalted a position as he occupies, has
bad his name profaned by the rabble. |
Although he is the greatest newspaper |
in the great city CT An
napolis, and has had as high as three
hundred dollars in clean cold cash in |
MS pocket a. one time; and travelled |
all over the country from Bismarck to
Leeper, and from Evansville to the st.
Francis River; stood on the stone-cap-l
ped summit of Pilot Knob, and viewed |
The dim. smoky outlines of Tom Sank;
oathed in the clear, limpid waters of
The majestic Big Creek. and braved the
wild eeasts al the juagles Of Grassy
Mountain. Yes, sir, and although We
can distinctly remember having seen
our maternal grandfather, our illus
,rious name has been hawked about the
in the most irreverent manner!
Although our name hasn't got into the
big dailies to any great extent, We are
it sYeFy Day, and va know
now to sympathize with the Astorbilts.
