of Jesus. is of course interesting
enough, although the documents will

Ruyinu British Titles.


pride of the average Britisher, who of
course worships everything that is
aristocratic and which bears a title OF
nobility, to have a scandal raised about
the manner in which the government
has been induced to create new peers,
baronets, and knights. OF course a
scandal Of this kind is nothing new In
Great Britain or in any other country
for that matter where titles of nobility
are conferred. and the present scandal
may be, as is claimed. simply a Juror
raised for political effect, but neverthe-
less it has furnished some interesting
reading matter for the newspapers.
On the latest birthday of King
Edward VII four peers. IL baronets and
33 knights We're created. Nominally
this was done by the King, in reality
by the ministers, this bestowing of
birthday honors being one of the
perquisites of their office. Once
year these much priced honOrs are
passed around and of course the oc-
casiOn is one of the first magnitude in
the British social and political world.
In Parliament the other day a member
on the side in opposition to the govern
ment openly charged that many of the
recipients of the titles this year bought
them by their contributions to the
Liberal party campaign fund. The
prime minister simply shelved the
question. Probably nothing more will
be heard from it as far as Parliament
is concerned, and the English news
papers have very little to say about it
for the good reason that barOnetcies
free hand among the newspaper pro-
prietor.s of the realm Mr. Harmsworth
who owns many English newspapers
and comes nearer being a yellow
journalist than any of his associates,
was not long ago made Baron North
cliffe, and has since refrained from
discussing the manner in which Eng
lish titles of nobility are secured by
those ambitious for them.
1t would probably be Il very difficult
matter to prove that rich Englishmen
actually buy barOneticies and peerage,
and yet it is not disputed that a very
large proportion of the titles are con-
ferred each year upon rich men who
have been prominent in furthering the
political fortunes of the party then in
power. OF the four new peers created
this summer. three are millionaires and
constant contributors to the campaign
fund. Among the IL new barOnets
are cotton manufacturers, railroad
mine owners, merchants
brewers, and South African capital
lists, all of whom have been active in
the interests of the Liberal party. OF
course a system of this kind makes the
honors i'm question look very cheap and
furnished to outsiders, but the British
public does not seem to see the joke.
1t has been. suggested as one way Of
solving the problem of social classes
that all titles of nobility be abolished.
but the British system seems to be the
gradual inclusion of everybody within
the charmed circle.
