risdiction, the third was when a change
in the mode of electing the president
was made necessary by the jefferson
Burr incident, and the fourth was when
the results of the Civil war were in
corporated in the fundamental law
In practice, as far as politics is con-
cerned, the difference is that in Eng
land there is responsible party govern
ment and that in the United States there
is rigid constitutional government
sometimes controlled by party and
sometimes not, but never directly re-
sponsible.
The Reform Agitation
The agitation for complete reform of
the house of lords began in England
four years ago, and became acute 13
months ago. Already the people have
had the opportunity to decide the cues
ton for themselves. Serious agitation
for the reform OF the United States
senate on the proposition of electing
senator's directly by the people was
begun a little more than 20 years ago.
The constitution provides that when
three-fourths of the states shall petit
ton congress-, congress shall call a
convention to submit proposed amend
ments to the states for ratification.
During these 20 years three-fourths Of
the states by their legislatures have en-
dorsed the proposition of the direct
election of United States senators, but
as these resolutions were not uniform
in wording, there is no prospect that
anything will come of it. Americans
may think that some of the methods
employed to reform the house of lords
are absurd, but they would do well to
remember that the task is infiaitely
more simple and direct than a similar
undertaking to reform the senate would
be in the United States.
AS a matter of fact, the British con-
stftution permits the voters to have a
very much greater direct influence in
public affairs than does the American
constitution. The suffrage is limited in
England to greater extent than it is
! in America, there are special privileges
| legally enjoyed by wealthy and noble
persons which would be repugnant to
American institutions, and there is a
caste system wholly foreign to the es-
sential democracy of the great republic.
/ But notwithstanding these limitations
! the British elector has the right moi
| only to cast his vote on one side or the
| other Of a great political controversy
but he also has the right to demand
/ that his will be carried into execution
! Immediately
! Up until this. time this right has been
! qualified and limited by the fact that
one party has had an overwhelming
majority in the upper chamber of the
/ legislature and has therefore been ena-
| bled to block legislation on subjects

On the Difference Between
Love and Friendship.

sweetheart and through my silly be-
havior, lost my friend
1t is too bad that a man and q girl
cannot enjoy a friendship without one
or the other overstepping the bounds.
It cuts off the man unabley to marry
from all feminine society II he seeks
girls society, he Is blamed for pay
ing her misleading attentions
If he seeks married woman, he is
accused of flirting.
A friendship with a girl is a splendid
thing for any young man 1t develops
his gentleness, manliness and chivalry.
young man cannot be expected to
go through life with but one friend
ship-that of the girl he eventually
marries-
So far as the girl is concerned. a sim
cere friendship. free of al sentimental
ity, is the best thing in the world for
her.. especially If she has no Brothers
He can save her from making many
little mistakes through advice given
and taken in a friendly spirit.
1t largely rests in the girls hands
to keep the situation on the friendship
basis.
If she sees the man is growing to
care for her, and she feels only friend
ship, she should end matters at once.
1t is the kindest thing to do. II she
finds herself inclined to take matters
too seriously, she should pull herself
up sharply
Her common sense and feminine in
tuition should tell her the true value
OF the mans attentions.
The fact that a man finds a girl a
charming and delightful companion
does not necessarily imply that he is
in love with her. Remember that, girls,
and don't overestimate a mans atten-
items.

a YOUNG woman married the man
~ Of her heart, and after few
brief months discovered he
had been playing a double game with
her from the first Polygamous by ma
ture, he had carried on an affair of
long standing after his marriage
Now the young woman is divorced,
and she proclaims herself a pessimist
for life. She believes in no one; bu-
man nature is all base; there are no
good men or women, no true-hearted,
clean-minded husbands, and any one
who believes i in anybody she calls a
fool.
OF course this state of mind is a
disease resulting from the mental shock
she received And, like many sick
people, she thinks her decisions are
the real occurrences.
But she refuses to be helped by any
more wholesome line of thought She
will not listen, or read or think; she
will only harp upon the baseness OF
humanity.
Greater miseries await her unless
she changes her mental methods
She is making her own character
into the likeness of that which she
believes is universal
It is a phase of conceit to, imagine
that because we have been deceived,
all men are deceivers-
We should ask ourselves, Have WE
been deceitful?"
If we can answer truthfully in the
negative, then why should we imagine
there is no other soul but ourselves on
earth to be trusted?
The idea is insufferably egotistical.
Instead of looking for other people
who will deceive you as you have been
deceived. begin to look for others as
honest and trustworthy as yourself.
