A Eli to Abolish.

Some of the radical labor members
Of the Brtsa house of commons pro
pose to abolish the house of lords just
to get rid of the peers as an obstacle
to labor le1islatlon This recalls
Saudy's plan to "joost abolish sin"
when 1t was found that the existence
OF evil wa3 tough nut for theology
to crack. Abolishiug the house Of
lords Is not. however, an original idea
with the labor men. The commoners
Of England have often talked that
way. but the upper chamber Is there
yet with power to obstruct legislation
"of the people, by the people, for the
people"
The particular act of the lords which
raised the ire Of the British working
men was their refusal to bar foreign
laborers from the English markets
when there IS Il strike on. The labor
ties threatened to appeal to the coun-
try on this single issue unless the gov
ernment should take action to Gust the
lords from power, 1t IS not at all
probable that the house of lords Will
ever be abolished at the hands of labor
or any other factor in British politics.
England would not be England with
out Its lords any more than without
Its crown. So the labor men and ali
the commouers who stand for aboli-
ton Oh general principles must make
the best OF it and look upon the lords
evil as the orthodox world does upon
the mission of sin something to keep
good people busy,
