UIuc Hood of England.

Let Mr. Astor ask the English aristocracy
where the wealthy families OF the past are today
in that realm. Before venturing to do 50, how
ever he should anayze carefully his ''Burke's
Peeragc" Among all the families Of the British
nobility only I0j can trace their titles more than
200 years; 552 of them were elevated to hered-
tary digni;ies lately the reign of George
Ill and 229s noble families have become utterly
extinct. II Is fact that at the end of Eliza
beth's reign there were only 5j mobiles in Eng
land and all above that number who boast their
rank today must therefore be OF more recent

Questionable Praise for Henderson.

Questionable Praise for Henderson.
We are not aware OF any particular rea-
son why Mr.. Boutelle of Maine should wish
10 throw a wet blanket over Mr.. Hender-
son of Iowa, but he certainly has done so
in a telegram TO the probably successful
aspirant. In which he says that no choice
could be more acceptable than that of a
trusted adviser and lieutenant OF our
great Speaker Reed"
In saying this Mr.. Boutelle. whether in
teniiona'ly or not promotes possible sus-
picion that the election Of Henderson may
result in a perpetuation OF the Illegal and
unconstitutional ideas and methods of the
autocrat who has retired from absolute
control OF the House of Representatives.
and certainly for its good and that of the
country. There IS even chance for theory
that Mr. Boutelle. in sending this signif-
cant greeting to the Iowa man. did not in
tend to make # thereby impossible for an
Eastern candidate to win, if anything
should turn up between now and the
meeting Of Congress.
If there is any one thing that the masses
