Caroline Bartlett. "a serious-minded young
woman with dreams" went to Kalama-
zoo, having been called to the pastorate
Of the Firs, Unitarian Church of that
city. Out OF that First Unitarian Church
she evolved the new creedless institu-
tional Peoples Church Of Kalamazoo.
She instituted manual training classes for
the boys and girls and classes and clubs
where backward men and women could
improve opportunities neglected or de-
MED them in youth: where ambitious men
and women could be helped to realize
their ambitions, and she started a kinder
garten, which, since there were no public
kindergartens in Kalamazoo then, be-
cause the school board didn't see the use
Of them, she opened to every child in
the city. She instituted a wcman's gym
nasium in the effort to solve the problem

NO CHILDREN SHINE SHOES.
Police Find Law Is Not Violated in
This City.

Because of the criticism by residents of
many eastern cities about the apparent
youth of persons employed in the shoe
shining parlors, Police Chief Sylvester
started an investigation in this city sew
eral weeks ago for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning If there were any violations OF
the child labor law by proprietors of such
establishments in this city. He visited
a number of the esta blishments and con-
versed with the employees of them; others
OF his force visited other such places.
Yesterday Chief Sylvester stated that
not a single violation Of law was discov-
cred. Not one boy under sixteen years
old was found. he stated. and only TWEEN
ty-nine such employees were under TWEEN
ty-one- years of age. The bootblac ks
work an average of fourteen hours a day
and receive from SO to SD a month and
their board and laundry work.
Seventeen of the twenty-nine bootblacks
under twenty-ene years of age paid their
own passage to this country. the police
learned. while twelve Of them had their
way paid by relatives. Many of them
attend night school, although there are
many others who dc not have time enough,
off for school or recreation, some of them
working every Sunday and on all holi-

paign OF Inconsistency because they re-
fused utterly
Liberals Rejected to have any
Program Of Reform. with the va
! rious reform schemes proposed by the
opposition From a political standpoint
the liberals had great justification for
their refusal to recognize the potentiality
! OF the word reform" With character
| istic English direction the liberals pre-
ferred the substance rather than the
| shadow of reform, and they knew that
the best way tp reform the house Of
lords in fact was to let it alone and
deprive it of it's power to do mischief
i'm the way of thwarting the will of the
people.
The liberals held that to reform" the
| lords. to abolish the exclusive hereditary
principle and to reconstitute the body on
basis making even the slightest conces-
sion TO modern democracy would result
in a tremendous increase in the prestige
of the upper body. They saw that a re-
formed house of lords would be able to
participate in legislation on equal terms
with the commensurate as the Senate of
the United States Is exactly coordinate
with the House of Representatives in the
American Congress.
Then, as there was no reason to believe
the character, personal or political, of
the upper chamber, the day when liberal
ideas might become law would be in
definitely postponed, probably beyond the
day OF an actual revolution. The United
States Senate is indirectly responsible
and every member of it must be re-elect-
ed at least once in six years. The house
OF lords. even as reconstructed according
composed of hereditary peers chosen by
other hereditary peers, of bishops and
other officers sitting ex-officio and Of a
few persons elected in some vague man
ner from the outside. 1t is possible in
the United States to change the political
complexion OF the Senate; in Great Brit
ain it would be impossible to change the
politics OF the great majority of the up
per chamber under the Rosebery-L ans-
downe reform schemes.

the legislative problems Of Great
Britain were purely political the house
of lords generally proved itself to be

more or less directly by the people.
On the other hand. 1t must also be ad-

the lords proved to be too shortsighted
and too narrow for their own or their

Being freemen of England, rejoicing
in a bounty of individual liberty greater
than that of
Common People Free any OF their
by Grace of Mobiles. neighbors,
the common people were expected to
keep quiet and to take whatever came
their way, and to limit their political
activity to the expression of a choice
between the two factions of the aristoc-
racy denominated as wings and tories.
Even this limited share in actual
political management was controlled by
the members of the house Of lords by
means of pocket boroughs and bribery.
When the time came that the people re-
belled and refused longer to submit to a
system of government by corruption, the
house of lords refused to give the COM
mons leave to enact the reform bill. Time
and again the question went to the coun-
try, but the wings then were as impotent
in the face of the tory majority in the
lords as are the liberals of today.
Finally Earl Russell and Lord Brou-
CHAM obtained from King William Nv a
promise in writing giving them the power
pass the reform bill, first calling up
peers eldest sons The threat of u
wholesale creation Of new peers was suffi-
cient and the lords passed the bill. That
was the beginning of democratic govern
ment in England.
The only way the present demands of
the liberal party can be made effective,
either after this election or some other
will be to force the king to appoint a
sufficient number Of liberal peers to pass
the veto bill. At this time it would mean
the wholesale creation of about five hun
dred mobiles! The absurdity of this thing
is manifest. but it is the only weapon
which ministry may use to bring the
lords into submission to the popular will
And perhaps the chief liberal objection to
the so-called reform schemes Is that
they would take away from the govern
ment even this clumsy and ordinarily i'm
practical means Of bringing the peers to
terms.

question must De ucCiucu. AhC oNOA
whelming conservative majority in the
house of lords makes any hope of agree
ment between the upper chamber and a
liberal majority in the commons abso-
luteIy impossible. If the people choose to
elect a liberal majority the liberal lead
ers contend that the liberal government
should have the power to make Its prom
Uses effective. That power they do not
now possess.
This is what the veto bill means. IL
II Is passed the house of lords will con-
tinue to exist in form as an upper
chamber of the legislature, but In fact
II will have only advisory and dilatory
powers 1t may hang up piece OF leg
islation for two years. but 1t cannot 90
more than suggest amendments to 1t.
The lords cannot bring about dis.
solution on it. They may devise ana
delay-nothing more. If the house OF
commons persists and passes the same
measure three times in period OF not
less than two years. then the Dill VIII
become a law.
The life of a parliament now Is limited
TO seven years, so that the electors
are guaranteed q chance once In seven
years to express their opinion OF the
government. whether there Is a disso-
tuition or not. In practice no parliament
ever has lived out It's seven years. The
new veto bill. however, shortens the
| life Of a parliament to five years. SO that

place at least once in five years. This

tically supreme power In the event the

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS
W-The Liberal Demands.
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

The liberal party does not desire the
reform of the house Of lords. 1t will
be pleased with nothing less than the
practical abolition of that body. 1t is
willing that the house of lords should
continue in existence as historical mon
ument to the memory of the Britain that
was, and that it should also serve some
slight useful purpose as check on the
impetuosity of the commons, but 1t Is
unwilling to continue the lords as CO.
ordinate branch of the lawnaking power
That is the intent of the so-called veto
bill, which provides that any measure
three times passed by the house OF COM
mons in a period of not less than two
years shall become a law, even without
the assent of the upper chamber. This
means that a liberal majority could pass
an Irish home rule bill. pass 1t once,
twice, thrice and that then Ireland would
have home rule despite every lord In
Burke's peerage. Unless this veto Dill
is passed the commons may grant ire
land home rule a hundred times and the
hill always will die in the upper house
What is true of home rule Is equally
true of nearly every cardinal principle OF
the liberal policy, education REFORM,
church reform. license reform, electoral
reform. social reform and all the rest.
