How the Very Existence Of the House
Of Lords Is Jeopardlzed BY
the fight on the Brit.
lsh Budget.
BY JAMES A. EDGERTON.


MS the British house of lords about
to be abolished or radically shorn
Of it's power? That is the larger
question looming up behind the
fight over the budget in England. The
warning of Lord Rosebery that the
very existence Of the upper chamber
is In jeopardy was not an idle threat.
1t was given all the more force by
the fact that Rosebery himself is op-
posed to the budget. He would like
to see it defeated. but questions either
the right or the policy of the lords to
bring about that defeat. he regards
the stake as too great. In destroying
the budget they destroy themselves.
He was ably seconded by Lord Bal
four of Burleigh. who in plain English
told the peers that If they won in their
fight against the budget their victory
would be but temporary, while If they
lost the defeat would be permanent.
They would not only fail In killing the
budget. but would end their own
power. -.
In adopting Lord Lansdowne's mo-
ton to reject the budget pending an
appeal to the nation it is contended
that the peers are guilty Of a twofoid
usurpation of power-one against the
commons and the other against the
king Since 1858 the exclusive control
Of financial matters has been III the
house of commons. For the lords now
to assume the right to reject q finan-
cial measure is the first act of usurpa-
ton. Lord Lansdowne's motion re-
quires a dissolution of parliament.
The right to dissolve parliament, how
ever. belongs to. the crown. This is
the second act of usurpation.
The Day of Settlement.
The rejection of the budget is not
the first offense Of the lords. Several

men are gathering by the thousand and
cheering for the budget and David
Laoyd-George, its author, the Welsh
schoolteacher who, rose to be chancel-
lor Of the exchequer: They are sing
ing as the French sang the "Marsen-
laise'' more than a century ago, and
the burden of their song is that the
land is for the people. Lloyd-George
and Winston Churchill are ridiculing
the dukes with a sarcasm that is
spreading a grin over the three ma
tons. 1t reminds one Of the days when
Thomas Paine wrote his Rights Of
Man" in defense of the principles Of
the French revolution, in which he
scored the aristocracy in words that
ring yet. Paine has been dead q CEN
fury, but the truths he voiced are the
most living things in England.

ARE ENC[ANDS PEERS DOOMED 7
What the Budget IS and Taxes That
Caused the trouble
nary Debate That Has
Amazed q Nation.

Most Of them are never seen within
the precincts of the house Of lords.
They are not only absentee landlords,
but absentee legislators. The budget
! fight, however. brought practically all
Of them to London. They swarmed
out Of their castles as the rats swarm
ed out Of Hamelin town at the call Of
the Pied Piper. Hundreds of strange
faces appeared in the upper chamber
that never were seen there before and
perhaps never will be again. 1t was

ing to the defense when an attack on
privilege was threatened.
The ensuing debate is one that will
be long remembered in England, though
not for its brilliancy. 1t amazed the
nation. To call it schoolboy affair
would be to insult the schools. One
minister termed it babyish. Outside Of
a few men like Rosebery and Balfour.
Lord Salisbury and the Earl of Crewe
it displayed lack of grasp, breadth and
statesmanlike qualities. It was selfish,
personal. sordid. It was the whine Of
a spoiled boy. When not petulant it
was deadly dull. 1t was an attempt at
argument by men unfamiliar with in
tellectual habits. Yet the spectacle had
its educational value. It showed to
the British people their so called nobil-
ity in it's true light. It stripped off the
glamour of name and tradition. At the
disillusionment the people at first gasp
ed and then laughed.
The Feet Of Clay.
That debate doomed the house of
lords-if not next year, then In the
near future. 1t revealed these peers of
the realm as selfish and allied to the
worst elements in the kingdom. It
showed them to be not only common
clay. but as beneath the average in in
telligence and morality. Today English

Bowman, N. D., Dec. :, 22.-People
in this section of the state are get

blackmail that is being levied on the
homesteaders by set of men who
are out for the long green and care
not how they connect with it. The
reports for the month of November
show that out Of 153 proofs made in
this land district f1fty-three of them

there can be no valid reason for pro-

and this is further borne out by the

The Influence Of
A Good Example.

The Journal is pleased TO note that
the example which it has been trying
tn set for years past is having an in
fuence on others.
For ten years The Journal has been
publishing q detailed statement of its
circulation and during all of that time
its circulation books and records have
been open for examination by any ad-
vertiser. For FIVE years its new ser
vice has been furnished by the Asso-
ciated Press-the greatest news gath
ering organization in the world. Dur
ing all of this time, The Journal has
been the only Pensacola paper when
published a detailed circulation state
ment or which held membership in the
Associated Press.
But now-whether from the in
1uence of The Journals good example
or simply because of d desire to keep
pace with the progress of the city
itself we do not knOw-nOw, come our
two evening contemporaries and make
The Journals example general rather
than exclusive.
The Evening News a few days ago
announced that it had been elected to
membership in the Associated Press,
and the Review has within the past
week announced its willingness to pub
Iish any kind of a circulation state
ment that any advertiser desires and
give him the privilege, also, Of inspect
ing it's books.
This is al good and The Journal
congratulates its two evening cOntem-
poraries on their evident intention OF
keeping pace with the progress Of the
city and with the standard of pro
gressive journalism which The Jour
nal itself has maintained for so many
years.

THE DUTY OF A SENATOR.

Knowing that Hon. W A Blount Is

credit him with the desire to relieve
the cOmplexfty of the political situa-
tion in this state when he withdrew
his name from the list OF candidates
for the Senate and we hope the DeO-
pie viii appreciate at its proper value
