One of these publications, entitled

on the downfall of the British empire
n 1910, and is accompanied by maps
showing present political divisions of
the earth, followed by maps of the
world as it will appear in 1911. BY that
time, says the author, England will

Canada will belong to the United

BRITISH DEMOCRACY.

The task of self government becomes
all the harder when a tempest sweeps
the ancient landmarks away. In Eng
land, for example, the problem Of al
tering the constitution to suit the new
needs has been posed in the c1earest
form The hereditary principle, on
which the legislative prerogatives of
the peers are based, cannot survive in
this shape. How, then, is the upper
house to be reformed along modern
lines without removing all checks from
philosopher will answer the question
off hand, but the practical statesman
will think twice and thrice before he
breaks with ideals which have their
roots deep in the past. Admitting that
the hereditary legislator must go, what
kind Of legislator is to be put in his
place? And, assuming that no bounds
are to be set to the might of the COM
mons, what sort of safeguard are mi
nOrltleS to have? The Englishman,
finding his rights imperiled by the ma
jority of the hour, cannot seek refuge
in the courts, as the American can; for
the judges may construe, but may NOT
nullify acts of parliament, however alb
surd and oppressive they chance to be.
Thus the British democracy is face to
face with one of those issues which
transcend the largest issues which the
ordinary budget and the ordinary legis-
lative program present. At such a
crisis the depths of a democracy's soul
are searched. In peace. as in war. it is
the ability to take punishment that
counts and free people has some
times to endure those ills it has, rather
than rush to others that it knows
not of.

PENNY POSTAGE.

A striking plea for universal penny
postage is made by Arved Juergensohn
secretary of the Commercial Treaties
union, in his book, ''W'eltporto Re
fishing house. Mr.. Juergensohn advo
Gates the extension to all countries in
the postal union of the arrangement
under which penny postage has been
established throughout the British
Empire and between Great Britain
and the United States. The prime
motive which he assigns, however, is
not the mere cheapening of the mail
service so as to encourage its wider
use, but the conversion of the entire
postal territory of the world into one
domestic postal territory with one
schedule of charges, thus binding all
nations postally together, promoting "a
common speech of commerce and en-
couraging union and mutually the
world over. 1t is a praiseworthy in
tention that Mr.. Juergensohn harbors,
and sit is an ineontestably. rational one,
tending to more cnvenient relations
and more cordial understanding
among the races Ultimately, it may
be predicted with certainty, it's reali-
zation will come. The good effects Of
the harmonizing policy Of the Postal
union are well known and the broad

JURORS AND NEWSPAPERS.

During the selection of a jury in a
Missouri court a few days ago one of
the lawyers, with the evident purpose
of challenging, asked venireman if he
had read accounts Of the case in the
newspapers. The question is familiar
one, and may be heard in many courts
when there is a criminal case on trial
that has aroused a good deal of in
terest in the community. The Mis-
souri, judge in this instance would not
permit the venireman to answer the
question and turning to the lawyer
said: whats the difference if he has
read the newspapers? He'll make the
better juryman. TO say that a man
ought not to serve because he has read
the newspaper account is saying in eff
feet that jury of intelligence is OBJ
jected to. That is not justice, neither
is it law
1t sometimes occurs that jury of
Intelligence is not wanted. A tricky
lawyer with a poor cause will endeav-
or to get on the jury as many ignorant
men as he can, because ignorant men
are the most easily moved by spe-
cious pleadings. The position taken
by the Missouri judge might we'll be
assumed in other courts.

BLEACHED FLOUR
CASE Up
xR4x ~ I'LL

New York, Jan. 25.-A large Sec
ton of the public will await with in
terest the final decision in case
which came up for hearing before
here today. The case is the first to
come to trial that involves all of the
disputed points in the so-called
bleached -four controversy between
the millers of the country, on the
one hand, and the Department of
Agriculture, which is seeking to en-
force the pure food laws. That the
government expects hard fight is
evidenced by the fact that it has en-
ployed several special attorneys to as
sist the United States district attor-
ney in prosecuting the case now on
trial
The bleached -four controversy
began when DR.. Wiley, the pure food
expert of the department of agri-
culture, ruled that the process was
harmful to the public health and a
violation of the federal pure food law
The process, which has been used
for several years by the millers in
many sections of the country, con-
sists of treatment of freshlyground
flour in a machine invented by man
named Allsop, which through the
operation of certain gasses takes out
the moisture of the -four.
Unbleached flour, if placed in the
machine will dry out and become
white in short time, but flour
allowed to lie in barrels
never becomes entirely dry, and
while moisture remains, the flour
retains its COLLEEN yellow hue. 1t has
proved that the whittier the flour the
whittier the bread will be, and manu-
facturers who wished to hold the fav-
or of housewives who take pride in
the whiteness of their bread were
quick TO take advantage of Allsops
invention, which in a few minutes ac-
complished what would take months
of natural processes, and which al
ways insured absolutely white flour.
DR.. Wiley declares that the use of
gases in the bleaching process is
detrimental to health. Furthermore,
he alleges that the fight to retain
the process is made not by the mill
ers or the bakers of the country, but
by the manufacturers of the machin-
cry used in the bleaching process.
The manufacturers, declares Dr.
Wiley, have raised a fund of $780,
600 TO defeat the contentious of the
government.

BY Peter Powers.

In nearly every state in the Union
il. which legislatures are in session
this winter the organized working
people are making aggressive efforts
to secure the enactment OF laws to
improve the lot of the laboring class
In most of the states these demands
take the shape of further restricting
woman and child labor, passage Of
employers liability laws, inspection
of workshops and factories, better
sanitary regulations, etc.
In Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island new laws have just taken eff
feet prohibiting the employment of
women more than 81 hours a week
in manufactures and commercial es-
adjustments, and in Ohio and sever
al other states the unionists are en-
deavoring to secure laws fixing a
minimum of eight hours day for
women toilers. In the Buckeye state
children are already prohibited from
working nights, while girls under IS
and boys under 16 may not work
longer than eight hours in the day.

Similar laws have been gained in
New York state, and Missouri has
abolished night work for children
under IS ana arranged for a nine
hour limit for day work. Boys and
girls will no longer be permitted to
work on dangerous machinery, or
about acids, paint or white lead in

also being made in Iowa, Nebraska,
