This phase of the conflict between the progrcssiyes and the con-
servatves in Great Britain is the more interesting because in this coun-
try the opposing parties hold contrary positions. In the United States
the argument is that the referendum deprves wealth of its power and
gives the common people n chance to enforceitheir will in legislation
against any corrupt combination Of trusts and bosses,
Different conditions, of course, produce different results. What
is bad in Britain may he good in America. Still it is n striking illus
tration of the contrarietes of politics that the demand for the refer

America and the Lords Of Great Britain.

laws regarding Chem are not generally understood. 1t does not appear
on the face Of things to be a matter Of any concern to the public
whether a given man and woman have been legally married or legally
divorced. Therefore it is difficult to arouse any resoute public senti-
ment on the subject. The desired reform is passed over from year
to year simply because of a lack Of popular interest in it.
But to many individuals the present conflict of laws has brought
gftevous wrongs, some of them amounting to outrages. 1t is time
to put a stop to them. Let us hope the Governors will remember
their agreement and not let the conference pass as mere talk at a
