New-York tribune., 1906-08-04
THE LORDS AND THE SCHOOL BILL.

There is no man in the House OF Lords whose
comments or whose declarations Of policy on
Mr. BirrellS Education bill would command or
deserve more attention than those of the Duke
of DevOnshire, either for their individual weight
or for their significance as indices Of the prob
able action Of the UniOnist peers, and therefore,
OF the upper chamber The dukes moral and
intellectual personality is so commanding and
his practical political influence is so great that
his speeches must always be heard with serious
interest Moreover in the present antagOnistic
alignment of parties he enjoys exceptional au-
thOrity as a former Liberal and as the leader
of that part of the Opposition which is not COM
mitted to the policies Of Mr. BalfOur and Mr..
Chamberlain and which does not oppose Lib
eral proposals as a matter OF course but which
remains most nearly in sympathy with the ira
dtions and principles OF the Liberal party. For
him. therefore, to take strong ground against
the bill means much.
That he does strongly oppose Mr. BirrelIs
measure is evident He calls it a violent and
unnecessary disturbance OF the British educa-
tional system, and declares it is the duty of the
House Of Lords TO show the country that IL is
opposed 10 the measure. That does not neces-
sarily mean that the peers are TO reject the bill
outright and thus challenge an immediate con-
fiict with the Commons or an appeal to the c0un-
try The duke is not precipitate in his tao
tics. He contemplates the possibility of a cru
cial struggle in which, perhaps, the constitution
and very existence of the upper chamber may
be involved. But the present duty is not to
seek that struggle, but TO make known TO the
government, TO the House of Commons and TO
the nation the deliberate judgment of the peers
upon the pending measure. and to note how 1t is
received by them.
That may mean either OF two things 1t may
mean that the peers will debate the bill at
great length and exhibit in the strongest DOS
sible light their objections 20 it, in the hone of
thus arOusing a popular sentiment which the
Commons would regard. Or il may, and more
probably does mean that after mature consid-
GRAFTON and full debate the peers will radically
amend the bill so as TO eliminate the features
which they deem 20 be ''vlolent and unnecessary
disturbance OF the educational system, and re-
turn il in that form TO the Commons in which
case Of course there would be danger of Il con-
dict between the two houses, for the Commons
would almost certainly resent and refuse TO nc
cspt changes in tho bill which practically nulli-
