Of the upper house Of the United King.
dOm's parliament. y
The parliament is the supreme legis.
lature Of the United Kingdoms of Great
Britain and Ireland, and it consists of
the sovereign and the three estates of the
realm-the lords spiritual. the lords tenn,
pOral and the commons. The sovereign
does not now take part in the delibera.
tions Of the parliament. The first two
estates make up the house of lords, which
body was in the early days of Great
Britain's constitutional government a.
truly the real Legislative power as is the
house of commons now.
The Anglo-SaXon fOrerunner of the
house of lords was the witenagemot, or
national council, composed of eorls-
heads of villages-the kings gesiths and
thegns and the bishops and abbots. The
king was the presiding officer of this de-
Lucrative body. Crowds of people some
times gathered about the outskirts of its
meetings and shouted approval or dis
approval of its decisions, but the wishes
of these crowds were not deferred to as
a matter of law, only as a maker of cour-
tesy or policy. In a certain sense their
occasional presence at the meetings of
the council was a prophecy of the pres
ent commons.
The first use of the name parliament
occurred about the middle of the thir-
teenth century, when in 1246 during the
prevalence of a civil war, it was applied
to a gathering Of the barons, but it was
not until Jan. 20, 1855, that there was a
deliberative session Of both lords and
commons. This meeting was held in the
splendid hall at Westminster, which is
still standing. The commons sat at the
bottom of the hall. They were not dis
posed to try to exercise any influence on
the deliberations. They had no vote,
and they seem to have failed utterly of
realizing the significance of their pres
ence as a component part of the assem-
blage. But insignificant as they were,
they were there to stay. Their influence
was to grow and multiply, and now for
many years they have been the real leg
~islative power Of the United Kingdom.
The conquest of England by the Nor
man checked but did not arrest the evo-
luton Of parliament. The people them
selves, however, were slow to take ad-
vantage of their privileges. 1t was the
lords who did all the Legislative business.
The commons indeed We're induced to

bans, Worcester, Rochester, Peterbor-
Ough, Lichfield, Truro and Carlisle.
The lords temporal comprise all the
peers of England (hOnors created by the
kings of England before 1907, when
union between England and Scotland
was effected), the peers of Great Britain
(hOnOrs created between 1907 and 1901,
the peers Of the United Kingdom (hon-
ors created since 1901, when union with
Ireland was etfected), IS representatives
of the Scottish petrage, elected for each
parliament by the votes of the Scottish
peers, and % representatives of the Irish
peerage, elected by the Irish peers for
life.
The house of lords as at present con
stltuted comprises 555 members, as fol-
lows: Six princes of the royal family, =
ar~chbishops, 20 dukes, % marquises, III
earls. % visCOunts, "a bishops. 29S bar
ons, Is Scotch representative peers and
% Irish representative peers. There are,
however, more than 2,700 peerages ex-
tant. They are held by 63O men, and
many once famous titles are apparently
lost because now held by men who also
hold higher titles. One peer-the Duke
of Athole-holds II titles. and most hold
from two to five. So much for the COM
position Of the house Of lords, which is
the court Of last resort of the realm as
we'll as upper house Of the legislature.
a body of hereditary legislators is of
course an anomaly these days, especially
IN SO progressive a government as that of
the United Kingdom. But still in the
minds of some thoughtful men it has its
uses. Being composed of representatives
of the classes, who fear that continued
progress Of the people may some time Ell
tirely displace them, the house Of lords is
sure to be opposed to all changes of any
moment. But its veto power, the only one
authorized by the unwritten British cOI-
stltutlon, royalty having long ago re-
nounced the veto prerogative, may, like
the veto Of the president of the United
States, be lawfully overriden by the pop
ular will, SO that no real reform is likely
to be permanently prevented. And it is
held that the delay which sometimes re-
suits can work no lasting harm. In view
OF all this, 1t is quite within the bounds
OF the probable that if the persons who
make up the upper house We're possessed
OF more character or were disposed to
give greater attention to the welfare of
their country they might maintain their
branch of the Legislature indefinitely.
But as a matter Of fact the personality
Of the lords is the greatest menace to
their Legislative existence.
For many years it has been the habit
of English caricaturists to represent men
of title as having sloping foreheads. rick.
