Every baronet whose title went no
further back got similar letter, but the
baronets. as the possessors of a higher
dignity. were asked to shell out GJ $50
apiece.
In the last four years no less than 2DO
baronets have been created by the king.
In most cases the recipients of these
honors have paid big prices for them-far
more than they would have been required
to pay in the good old days when titles
were openly sold. In those days the
money went to the king. In these days
the money goes to the party war chest
and the king gets nothing. He simply
conferS the dignity in obedience to the
behest of his master. for the time being,
the prime minister.
1t has been openly stated in parliament
that toward the conclusion of the Bal
four regime a peerage fetched as much
as $4,000 and baronetcies and knight
hood anything from $4,000 to S1J0OOO.
the money. after deducting a liberal per-
centage commission to the middlemen
or middleWomen who arranged the tranSac-
tons going TO the political fund. 1t is
one of those scandals which will never be
subjected to investigation while the two
present political parties are alone COM
peting for power. because they both play
the game the same way and are equally
interested in preventing exposure.
Having paid high for their titles. the
baronetS and knights naturally resented
this additional demand to shell out. The
amounts involved are comparat lively
small. 1t is the principle concerned
which moves them to an OutburSt of
righteous Indignation. 1t is something
of the same feeling which moves Amer
lean patrons of certain English hosteries
to resent the charges made for petty ex-
tras. And so the bold baronetS and gal
liant knights have decided to defy the
frjIct IA he "a Ia
usher of Scotland and contest its claims in
the courts.

An extract from the Indianapolis News

Is one of the six best spoilers Tests
being completed in the public schools
show that the school here which spells
worst spells just we'll az the school
in Chicago that spells best The Chicago
school, too, Is a high school and the
Indianapolis school is an eighth grade"
The words are simple grade words. and
are as follows: Operation. shoulders,

length. exercise patient. experience. de-
termined, satisfied. attempted, gradually.
interrupt. invincible, medium. physician,

The same test WAS given to all tho
years of the Mckinley Manual Training

knley Manual Training School spells
better than the Chicago high schools
and quite as we'll as the INDIANAPOLIS
eighth grade. The steady climb from SIS q

senior year would seem to Indicate that
spelling is taught after the pupils enter
the high school. whereas. according to
all the laws OF psychology and pedagogy,
spelling should be taught in the grades.

is an attack on their private purses which
has led the present day repre- sentatfves OF
ancient Chivalry to buckle on the golden
armor of modern defense and take. meta
phorcally speaking. the field.
1t seems that in the old days Wnen
knighthood was in flower and the best
scrappers got the latest jobs and highest
honors all sorts Of functionaries were en-
titled to claim various fees and perqul-
sites from those who received dignitles
from their sovereiEns. Very likely. too.
the sovereigus themselves got an ample
rake-off from these payments But IN
more modern times these official parasites
have been gradually weeded out genera l.
ly by paying them lump sum down TO
reiinauiSh their claims. The late govern
ment was particularly generous in thus
relieving the well-to-do victims of The
custodians of ancient privileges by cast
ing the burden on the British taxpayer.
One functionary. however. refused to
surrender for a cash consideration the
right to exact toll of the recipients of
new honors. probably because the cash
consideration was not high enough. That
functionarv was the heritable usher OF
Scotland. Who was the original heritaole
usher nobody knows. Nor does anybody
know for what service the right was con-
ferred upon him and his descendants 10

Very likely some inpecunious Scotch
monarch created the Office for cash con-
sideration. and after the act of union by

table usher of Scotland got his jurisd.c-
ton extended To include the whole of the
