Tho Helpless Lord Chancellor.
The reAponsible office Of '.chairman n


Or president Of a legislative body Is
one that generally carries with u both
powers and privileges. There are. how
ever, exceptions to the rule. In the
British House OF Lords, says the Sun
day Magazine, it is not the lord chan
cellor, but the whole House tina: IS ad
dressed as My lords"
The Speaker Is the sole Judge Of all
questions OF order in the House Of
Commons; In the House Of Lords such
matters, when there is a conflict Of
opinion, are decided by the whole
House. and not by the lord chancellor.
II several members of the House Of
Commons rise simultaneously to take
part in a debate, the Speaker decides
who shall speak first; but II two or
more peers rise together in the House
of Lords. the lord chancellor cannot
decide who shall first be heard. 1t =
the voice OF the House that determines.
Happily, etiquette Is so strong in the
Eiided chamber that II rarely happens
when the House by cries expresses its
desire to hear one of the contending
peers that the others do not give way.
But some years ago there was a nota-
BILE scene over the question whether
peer who had risen from the front Tory
bench should be heard in preference to
a peer who had risen from the front
Liberal bench.
Neither noble lord would give way,
and to bring the curious situation 10 all
end, Earl Granville moved that III.
Liberal peer be heard. The House d.
vided on the question. and decided by a
bg majority that the Tory peer should
he heard first.
1t is difficult for the average man to
understand why the lord chancellor
should not be able to exercise authori-
~ which is vested in the chairman OF
every public meeting; but there IS a
subtle constitutional point involved IN
this apparently ridiculous procedure.
All peers are equal as legislators in
The House CT Lords No one OF them
can be vested with authority over the
others. Therefore. when q point Of
order Is Involved. II IS the whole
House. and not the lord chancellor,
that must decide tie issue

6cc'nW tn~ rlephaUt IN lSxl.
Mr.. W. 8. Briggs, Of Montpelier, VT.
sends to the Youths Companion q New
Hampshire elephant story. He was
brought up In Keene, and there, In
August. 1921. every boy was excited
by the sight Of placards announcing the
advent Of "a great natural curiosity"
nothing less than "a living female ele-
phant''-admittance 12la cents, children
half-price."
The days Of Barnum had not yet
come, and 80 far as kr. Briggs knows.
this was the first elephant that ever
set foot In the Gtnite State. OF course
every boy was bound to see it. But
howf Ninepences did not grow on ev-
cry bush, and some schem,ng was nee
essary. The boys got together in con-
vention." like committee Of ways and
means, and not without result.
The elephant was exhibited in the
daytime. and was driven from town to
town in the darkness Of night The
boys found out in some way that 1t
would be driven into Keene over q GER
tain road-PrisOn street. On this road
at a point about half q mile from the
hotel, was a large common; and half a
mile farther away was a bridge over
Beaver Brook. The boys laid their
plans to see the elephant at the expense
of a wagon-load Of shavings and a peck
Of potatoes.
These were deposited on the common
Then boys were stationed at short in.
tervals along the road, beginning at
the bridge. The moment the elephant
arrived at the bridge the first boy was
to shout "Hullo!" at the top Of his voice,
and start on the run for the common.
The next boy, hearing the shout, was
to Dc likewise, and 30 on down the
Tine.
Wen, the night came, and with It the
elephant. But when the first boy saw
1t he was literally struck dumb with
astonishment As he could not shout,
he waited to see the creature cross the
bridge. When she put her foot on 1t,
however, she felt that It was not safe.
and refused to proceed, and the men in
charge had to drive her through the
stream.
BY this time the sentry had recovered

started down the road. Before the eie-
plant reached the common the boys
were all there and the shavings were
In q blaze. By the light of the fire the
elephant caught sight OF the pile Of po-
tatoes, and no persuasion could get her
past them till they were devOured.
And there stood the boys looking on.
with their money, II they had any, safe
In their pockets.
Mr.. Briggs declares that this line q
boys was the original telephone; and
that the modern instrument dates back
to this nocturnal New Hampshire be-
ginning he proves BY the fact that the
word ''Hulle'' 10 still the telephone
signal the country overl

though the preponderance of sentiment is
still in favor of lower prices, many shrewd
judges are now of the opinion that the
