1 ‘14 House of Lords Not Disturbed By Newton’s Plea for Reform “arious Schemes Have Been Advanced | to Change Character and Functions of British Upper Chamber. ¥ FREDERICK C. OWEN, C. B. E, ORD NEWTON'S recent plea in the upper house of parliament at Westminster for its reform is not of a nature to create \¥ undue alarm among its 737 mem- | re. The question is one which has| :en under more or less serious dis- | ission at varjous times during the | t hailf century. Man peers hl\'e: \pressed themselves as in favor of | sme sort of remedial measures, but | ith their tongues in their cheeks. | it has had several schemes of re-| “orm under consideration: among | fiem one drawn up by a joint parlia- rentary committee presided over by ord Bryce. It did not, however, nieet with the approval of the cham- ber whose existence was at stake, ind in fact the members were quite udo about it, and the terms of de- <ion and condemnation applied to were “a m” “a mockery,” otted scheme.” “illogical,” “incoher- ut” very crude.” shapeless wnster.” “a skeleton.” vague and NUOUS. while L 1 Willoughby li(‘] iroke ught an atmosphere of the ti field into the debate by pro- | sting violently against any inter- | rencee with the hereditary princi- | which was the only principle on | Vhich one could found any institu- | on, whether it were the monarch; iie house of lords or a pack of fox hounds, | * %k ok X 1f Lord Newton spoke so strongly on the subject the other day it was 1ot because he hoped to accomplish uything thereby in the way of re- orm, but merely by way of register- ng a protest—one of many to which has already given utterance on the subject. Perhaps he had been prompted to give voice anew to his sentiments by @ scheme lately sug- | zested by Lord Phillimore, one of lie most conscientious judges who as ever sat on the Lnglish bench, d who, now that he has been raised o the peeruge. is equally conscientious tbout his legislative duties and ious that all his fellow members tho upper house should be the ame. He suggests that in view of the fact that out of a membership of over seven hundred members of the liouse of lords the average attend- @ in th gllded chamber does not +xceed half a hundred, and often not | nough to make a quorum, no peer on succeding to a hereditary title or cciving one from the crown should_become entitled to the roval writ of summons (without which he cannot take his seat) unless he gives an undertaking to attend the house regularly during five vears and to sit on committees, save employed other- wise in the service of the crown. It would seem that there are some two lLundred peers at the present have mnever even troubled to their seats, ontent with the and its prerogatives, but un- 18 to devote any time to the of the crown and of the na- t is only when some vital is- sue affecting their own interests as U class is at stake that they suddenly appear from all sorts of places, even | lunatic asylums, on the scene | to register their votes. For once & peer is in possession of his writ of summons, nothing short of impeach- ment and attainder can deprive him of his vote. In the house of com- i 1+ member who is gazetted a bankrupt forfeits ipse facto his seat, while conviction of a felony entalls formal ecxpulsion, as_in the case of Horatio Bottomle: But a peer may have been judicially pronounced in- solvent many times over; may even ave heen convicted of a' felopy and bail, pending appeal; there are of expelling him from the house of lords or even of depriving him of his prerogative of passing his vote on issues where the interests of the entire British empire are vitally concerncd. ! ":lfl ro m . No one entertains a greater degree of contempt for the house of lords thait Lord Newton, who, blessed with charming American daughter- in-law in the person of Sarah, daugh- ter of the late J. C.

Nor can the house of Jords be considered an insuperable obstacle to progressiv legislation. As a general rTule. the peers have constituted themselves as a barrier to the measures sent Up from the house of commons, it has been bacause the bills in qucstion were forced through the lower chamber by & narrow majority, or by some political trick. Bui® where lgrge and growing majorl- ties in the commons have furnished clear dnd indlsputable evidence of the real will of the nation, the house of »llords has always ended by yielding, even though the prejudices and inter- ests of the class which it more speclally represents have been at stake. Another thing to be borne in mind is that at least a portion of the house of lords at Westminster is elective. The peerages of Scotland and of Ireland are repre- sented at Westininster by duly elected members of their order. Thus, the six- teen peers representing at Westminster the peerage of Scotlund are elected for each new parifament by the full num- ber of Scottish peers, the election taking place at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh. The Irish representative peers, twenty elght in number, are elected by the full number of the peers of Ireland for life. * R K ¥ reform of the Westminster will the independent is definitely com- elective upper his own daughter from a usurer, offer. ing to lend her a quarter of a million dollars in bank notes unbeknown to her parents. * * X% X To see the peers of the realm at their very best is during the prayer| with which the proceedings in’ the house of lords are opened every afternoon when parliament is in ses- | slon, and T do not believe that & more curious and characteristic spectacle than that which they present on these | be witnessed in any other legislative chamber in the world.

People on this side of the At- lantic, as a general rule, have a small conception of the role which this form or patriotism plays in the old world. In America it 'is seldom that a man | devotes himself to politics unless he | has an ax of one kind or another to grind. Sometimes the loaves and | fishes take the form of office and of socfal preferment, while in other in- stances it as a means of livelihood, | legislutors not only receiving large saluries, but having, moreover, unri- valed opportunities for making money. ‘There is but little sense here of disinterested civic obligation. | In the house of lords, on the other | hand, the attendance, no matter ! whether great or small, is composed in the main of men who' have abso- lutely nothing whatever to gain from devoting any of their time to public affairs. The great orders of knighthood are not given as a reward for merit or hard work, but are merely a_species of recognition of territorfal influ- ence and have for centuries been | distributed in such a manner that | they have come to be looked upon : as the vested right of certain great houses of the nobility. members of the house of lords are indiffefent to promotion in the peer- age, especially If their title happens | to be an old one, preferring to be | at the head of the barons or vis- counts, rather than at the tail end of the marquises and earls. Many of them possess sufficient wealth to render them indifferent to the emolu- ments of office and to the oppor- tunities of political corruption. * k% % What else than a sense of public duty, for instance. could have im- pelled that most indolent and per- petually bored of men, the late Duke | of Devonshire, whose only pleasure | in life was horse racing, to devote | himself to politics and to saddle him- self throughout the greater part of his life with the cares and obliga- tions of office? It is the same with his successor, the present Duke of | Devonshire, who, after serving the crown during the great war as gov- ernor general of Canada, is now sec- retary of state for the colonies, and Lord Derby is head of the historic house of Stanley—one of the so-called four catskin earls of the realm in joint precedence over all others by Teason of the antiquity of their peer- age—an earl whose grandfather re- ceived and spurned the offer of the throne of Greece some seventy years ago—a peer possessed of colossal wealth. _Yet, at the sacrifice of his tastes, of his landed Interests and of his comfort, he has devoted himself to public service as secretary of state for war and as ambassador to France. hen, too, the members of the Brit- ish house of lords, unlike their fel_ low legislators dn the lower chamber of parliament; funlike the members of the senate in France and of the Senate or upper house of Congress at Washington, neither ask nor re- ceive any pay from the nation for the performance of thefr duty to their fellow citizens. * Ok ¥ ¥ Another matter of which people, both at home and abroad, appear to lose sight in connectlon with the house of lords is that It és to the peers that Great Britain, and in a more or less degree, all other civilized countries of the world are indebted for the recognition of popular rights and the origin of parliamentary government. It was the barons in the time of King John who wrested from that most disreputable and cowardly of English sovereigns what is known as Magna Charta—that is to say. the basis of the British constitu- CLAFLIN Will examine your eyes . for Glasses ClaflinOptical Co. cite a2 ty Ci ENT YOUR PIANO * | { { 1110 G Many of the | government, no student of public af- fairs in England will for one mo- ment Dbelieve. It is not generally known that the government, even of today—or rather, 1 should say, the crown, has a very potent and pract cal means of reform within its reac {one which=was advocated by the late Marquis_of Salisbury. but from which Queen Victoria shrank. No peer can take his veat in parliament without his writ of gummons, bearing the sign manual of the soverelgn. It is within the prerogative of the sover- eign to withhold a writ of summons, or_even to cancel it. The greatest lawyers of the nation have for the last three hundred years been unanimous in declaring ~that there is no force or power that can compel the soverelgn to issue a writ of summons—the issue of which is a power vested in the crown. which it may exercise or withhold at pleasure. Perhaps the most notable case of this was the refusal of Charles I to {ssue a writ of summeons to the Earl of Bristol in 1625. His refusal was made the subject of an exhaustive investigation. and it protracted de- bate which brought to light the fact that the monarch was enirely within his rights. Indeed, it was not until veral ‘Years afterward that King Charles. ‘then in difficulties with the house of commons. wishing to win the good will and support of the house of lords, finally consented to issue the writ of summons to Lord Bristol.
