" HE most serious constitutional
controversy that has arisen in
Great Britain since the days OF
the revolution under oliver CromWeH
is being decided by the British electors
in the general elections now being held.
Whether the final result is a Liberal
or conservative triumph, tthe con
stitution of Great Britain never again
will be the same.
The fate of the house of lords hangs
in the balance. No political party in
Great Britain publicly champions the
continued existence of the house OF
lords in its present form. The min1ste-
rialist party, composed of a coalition
of Liberals, Irish Nationalist, Labor
ties and Socialists, is fighting as unit
under the Radical ensign to end the eX-
istence of the house of lords as a CO.
ordinate branch of the British legisla-
ture. The opposition party, technical
ly an alliance of Conservatives and Lib
eral Unionists, and having the support
of a few disaffected Liberals and NAL
content Irishmen. is fighting as a unit
under the Tory banner to mend the
house of Lords.
Hereditary Principle Doomed.
But whether it be ended by the Rad
icals, or mended by the Tories, it is
certain that the house Of lords as leg
islative body basing its powers solely
on the hereditary principle-the acct
dent of birth-cannot longer endure.
1t is the only purely hereditary legisla-
tive assemblage now existing in any
first class nation. 1t is an anachronism
and the time has come when it must
fall before the advance of democracy
Everybody in England, at least as
far as public utterances are concerned
is in favor of democratizing the house
of lords Everybody is agreed that the
hereditary principle no longer shall be
the controlling factor in making up the
personnel of the second and upper
chamber of the national and imperial
legislature. If one could take the
stump speeches of all the candidates
together and cut out the details he
would find that everybody was commit
ted to the same principles with respect
to the chief issue-those principles be-

again. Poor child, What a test for you
for your love, You1l get sick of 1T
soon, Ell? Having a helpless invalid for
your life's companion. 1 shall be drag

He was speaking in a bantering tone.
but she could guess how II hurt A
wave of depression settled on her.
when she went TO the mantel shelf. and
taking the cigaret down she had rolled
placed 1t between her husbands lips
and struck the match.
He sighed contentedly. and the cloud
OF smoke rose between them. She was
glad of it, for it hid the tears in her
eyes from him, and the pallor of her
cheeks.
God bless you, little Kit, What a
treasure you are, What should 1 do
without you, now
DON'T
The smoke had cleared away, and he
saw the letter she held towards him.
He glanced at her for moment, sur
prised; then took it, and, she stepped
over to the window and looked into the
street below.
He opened out the sheet with trem-
bling fingers. What could it mean !?
Something wrong, for he had seen her
face change, and she had avoided his
eyes.
He had read it through to the end,
and the cigaret fell from his nerveless
hand and rolled upon the carpet. 1t
was a half strangled exclamation from
him that caused her to turn
I've dropped my cigaret," he said
there was nothing in the tones to de-
note what he felt-nothing; they were
calm, almost monotone.
She stopped and picked the cigaret
up, and, before he could twist his
head, she caught a glimpse of his eyes.
You'll take it, kit" he said It'll
mean lot to you a tremendous step
up the Thespian ladder And it's a.
he swallowed-"ft's a part you've al
ways wanted to play"
It'll mean my leaving England, and
you, for six months"
What does that matter child? It's
nothing. I'm sorry 1 can't come with
you, naturally; but the time will soon
pass"
She was glad he'd taken it like this
He was a brick,
She went over to him and kissed him
full upon the lips.
When are you to let him know? he
asked, smiling up into her eager face.
Tomorrow, at the latest"
His cigaret had gone out; she reach
ed for the matchbox, he shook his head
No, thanks" he said
She looked at the clock. Half past
five, She had no idea it was so late
She was stepping on air: she hummed
a tune as she ran upstairs to slip into
her outdoor things; she'd be too late
for the theater If she didn't hurry
Goodbye, Jack, old boy" she shouted
TO him.
Goodbye. Kit" Then. as the door
closed behind her. the smile died away
and his arms fell Imply by his side,
and as he turned his head the tears
were coursing down his cheeks

ing an acknowledgment OF the neceSS1-
ty of a second chamber, a reputation
of the hereditary principle in the con-
stitutiOn of that chamber. and the ne
cessity of bringing the members Of the
upper house into more direct contact
with the people
The proverbiaI man from Mars might
find it difficult TO determine why,
when everybody is agreed in principle,
there should be such a tremendous
battle about the details of the legisla
ton intended to make those principles
effective. AS a matter of fact, the de-
tails are all important and the princi-
Piles simply as principles, amount to
nothing.
Nearly All Tories.
The house of lords now is composed
Of something more than 500 hereditary
peers, of whom all but about three
score are Tories-Tories in politics, To-
ries in religion, and Tories in society
When the electors of Great Britain are
pleased to elect a parliament having a
Conservative majority, the Tory minis
try formed under, and responsible to,
that parliament, has no difficulty
whatever in making up Legislative
program, secure in the certain knowl-
edge that the government proposals. as
passed by the house of commons, Will
be approved by the house of lords
On the other hand, when the Liberal
party has carried the country, when
there is a Liberal majority in the house
of commons and a Liberal ministry is
advising the crown, then the govern
ment never is sure that any one of its
measures has even a remote chance of
being enacted into law. In the past so
years the house of lords has rejected or
mutilated not less than so important
government measures which had been
duly passed by the commons In the
same period Of time the lords have
never rejected, nor have they amended
in important detail any measures sent
up by a Tory majority in the lower
chamber.
In other words, the British constitu-
ton now permits the people qualified

LOVE OR DUTY
(By T. A. PIummer.o

NHE carefully snatched a cigaret pa
ner from its packet, then. with
~ tremendous precision, inserted to-
bacco. rolled 1t with the fingers OF an
expert, and placed it on the mantel
shelf, a match by its side
She was a remarkably beautiful wo-
man. not tall, but with that eXactneSs
oe proportion so pleasing to the eye OF
tbe artist; and yet even her dearest
friend could not have called her Tea
lures regular, indeed, their irregularlty
was their greatest charm, the asset she
was endowed with did not rely on IN
dividual perfectness she possessed the
beauty of personality, that best OF all
gifts the gods can bestow, and-she
was in the chorus!
That is to say she had been IN the
chorus when he first met her, but they
had been married two years (and,
strange to say, were still in love with
each other), and two years can give
birth to stars" and leading ladies and
bring stars and leadies down to the
bottomest rung again
She moved softly across the room on
tiptoe and looked long Into the race
of a sleeping figure stretched full
length on the couch. She shook her
head slowly, and there was -the sus-
picion of a tear in the corner Of her
eye.
Dear old boyw she breathed, then,
as an afterthought, she added: Poor
Jack, Poor Jack"'
This morning she was restless, and
she knew the cause OF it. She took q
letter from the bosom Of her dress. and
read tiff the ninth-or was 1t the
tenth?-time pausing over each WORD.
She slipped 1t back and pressed her
fingers to her throbbing temples.

stretched his arms and the lips parted
in a smile. She bend down and lightly
pressed hers to them.

The voice or caress disturbed him.
he twisted his head and slowly the
eyes opened and rested upon the wo-
man beside him. Their expression
changed from that Of the pain racked
sufferer TO love
Did 1 dream it,, he said, or did
you really kiss me-"
Again she bent her lips, and the
mans arms went about her neck and
held her face to his. She did not try
TO release herself, she just rested there.
DO you ever regret marrying use
less log?" he asked wistfully.
You were not a useless log'-re-
peating his words-'when 1 married
you, until that accident"
That accident, that accident. It's
like a hideous nightmare, and has been
for over a year" He stopped, then ad
ded with a tone of bitterness in his
voice. do you know, Kit, yet? Has

He broke off. his lips refused to
frame the words: In his own heart he
had known right from the first, when
they had lifted him up he knew there

but he had never breathed his fears to
her.
Yes dear" she answered, gently
sweeping the hair from his hot brow.

For I've been a naughty girl, MUM
sie-a naughty, horrid girl.
Mr. sinclair was at the Grays and
II hate TO confess it even to you. but
I am afraid 1 flirted with him dread
fully.
l really didn't enjoy it one bit. but l
was cross and unhappy and wanted

Now I'm afriad that Mr.. Sinclair mas

girl. 1 wish [ could help you.
looked at him in such surprise
that he dropped my hand and SAID
rather bitterly, "At your old trlcks'
Reggy. 1 feel almost sorry for Caton'
poor chap"
Woman's Logic.
Now Mumsie wasn't that horrid OF
him? 1 suppose he meant that was
flirting, but it was a very vulgar way
of putting it, and he needn't think 1
was flirting with him for amusement
L was simply teaching DOUDH q AO'SO---
I'm very sorry that l ever looked at
Mr.. Sinclair, for Eleanor Peckham was
there, and 1 fully mean to make
match between those two And now,
suppose, I've spoiled it. for time at
least Men are so stupid, Mumsie-
Bobby never mentioned my talking
so much with Mr.. Sinclair, except to
say once in, oh, such a cold tone:
Peggy. don't you think that you
are making yourself rather conspicu-
Gus, considering you are bride OF
three months?"
By that time 1 was sorry and ready
to creep into his arms, and be for
given. but some horrid little spirit in
me wouldn't let me say so. L just
laughed and walked away.
That was last night, and We have
hardly spoken since. Bobby took an
early train to town this morning and
came home in the motor Mr. S1pcla1r
asked if he could drive me home in his
car. but 1 said no.
And when 1 got home, Mumsie, 1
found your dear letter.
Every word you wrote is right
