Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - November 26, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa
The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky or unfortunates there Are no titles of birth or aristocracy or nobility in the United states perhaps Only because they Are forbidden by the Constitution. This appears in article i Section 9 and reads Quot no title of nobility shall be granted by the United states and no person holding any office of profit or Trust under them shall without the consent of the Congress. Accept of any present emolument. Office or title of any kind whatever from any King Prince or foreign of course plenty of american women have gone abroad and had themselves married to various titled persons in foreign lands while they Are in this country they May be addressed by their foreign status but the title has no particular meaning in this country except As a Courtesy. Vol. 80, no. 279 it. Pleasant Iowa wednesday evening nov. 26, 1958 by Carrier so per week by mail 07.40 per year titles Are on the Wane anyhow. Russia. Germany Italy the Austro hungarian Empire and other places where once Monarch ruled in medieval splendor Are now republics and ancient titles Are no longer of any legitimacy in those countries. The British titles Are. Of course legitimate and important. The British government awards titles for major achievements in every line of human Endeavor. It is therefore not unusual in that country to find a member of the House of lords wishing that he were a commoner with a Good salary to Boot. Distinction by marriage is Normal in the human race most wives basking in their husbands Success. However a european title often does not indicate particular Success but rather descent from a very Remote ancestor who did will for himself in the numerous enterprises available during Feudal Iain some of which Are nowadays regarded As Neeley and Rita Graber not permissible such As chopping off a head or putting Poison in the soup for profit. If All of us got to looking into our ancestries we might be not a Little embarrassed. Certainly those who criticize Frank costello or the gentlemen of the Apalachin mafia must not Ever have a look at the founder of the House which gives them a grandiloquent name.
