SHALL ENGLAND LEAD
AMERICA IN PROGRESS
Mark Sullivan In Collier’*.
Professor Dicey, K. C., Is one of the
most eminent lawyers In England, and
his fame as a scholar and writer In the
field of constitutional law is Interna
tional. Last summer, Just after Dloyd
George secured his famous reforms,
Professor Dicey wanted to make per
fectly clear to everybody Just what had
happened. So he put some funda
mental facts concerning tho constitu
tional law of England Into tho simplest
possible terms, In form of a dialogue or
catechism. The reason this catechism
is Interesting to Americans will be ap
parent to those who give a minute to
reading it:
Professor Dicey, K. C.—My object is
to state in popular language the mean
ing of the Parliament act.
First Question—What are the legisla
tive powers of the house of lords as to
money bills?
Answer—The house of lords have no
legislative powers whatever In regard
to any money bill, and a money bill In
the Parliament act means, In effect,
any hill which the speaker of the house
of commons sees fit to Indorse as a
money bill.
It was this situation which gave Im
portance to the controversy about
whether the speaker or the house itself
should decide what was a money bill,
the speaker being traditionally a fair
and nonpartisan officer. Of course, the
house of lords has a sort of power of
protest, but Just how much this
amounts to Professor Dicey goes on to
explain in very clear language:
Tho power under the act of the
house of lords to discuss a money bill
and thus protest against It Is not legis
lative power at all; It Is a power pos
sessed by every debating society
throughout tho United Kingdom, and
the protest against a money bill of the
Trade Union congress will carry more
weight than the strongest protest of
the house of lords. (Parliament Act,
Section 1.)
In order to be more emphatic, Profes
sor Dicey then states the absolute pow
er of the house of commons In another
way:
Second Question—What are powers of
the house of commons as to money
bills?
Answer—The power of the house of
commons as to any money bill what
ever Is absolute and unrestricted.
Finally, Professor Dicey, to show how
impotent the lords have become, consid
ers what power they have left over a
bill to abolish their very existence:
But the lords can exercise a suspen
sive veto, which may delay such bill (e.
g., a bill for the total abolition of the
house of lords) from passing Into an
act for a little more than two years.
(See section 2-1.)
Fourth Question—What is now the
legislative power of the house of com
mons with regard to any public bill
which is not a money bill?
Answer—Tho parliament act gives to
the honso of commons, or, In fact, to
the majority thereof, for the time being,
power to pass Into law any such public
bill whatever, in spite of the rejection
thereof by the house of lords. Every
statute, past, present and to come, is
rendered subject to the sole despotic
authority of any faction which may ob
tain a majority by whatever mean* In
the house of commons.
Translated Into terms of American
legislation, this would mean that when
ever the lower house of congress should
pass a bill, It would thereupon become
a law, regardless of what the Senate or
the president might say or do. If we
had had this English system In Ameri
ca, the woolen schedule which the low
er house passed last session would now
be In effect, so would the farmers' free
list, so would the bill for the direct
election of United States senators
which passed the House with only
fifteen dissenting votes. The contem
plation of this will shock that class of
Americans who think that our system
of vetoes, of checks and balances. Is
the safeguard of civilization. Otner
Americans may be caused, by this little
exposition from Professor Dicey, to
wonder whether we have not outgrown
a system which was natural to cau
tious men setting up a new and untried
form of government—men who partly
were distrustful of democracy, and
Eartly were Justified In their caution
y the conditions of the time. When
the constitution was made there was
no railroad, no telegraph, no telephone,
no press In the sense that we know
today. The proportion of persons who
could not read or write was very much
larger. Do not the agencies that have
risen In a hundred years to make pub
lic opinion more readily Informed, to
give the Individual voter greater ac
curacy of Judgment, suggest that we
might profitably make the crystalliza
tion of public opinion Into statutes a
simpler matter than It now Is?
Professor Dicey has shown how sim
ply and quickly the subjects of a Brit
ish king can express themselves In sta
tutes; one American example, recent
and vivid In every mind, will show how
long and difficult Is the distance be
tween what the people want apd what
the law Is. The Payne-Aldrlch tariff
became a law on August 5, 1909. Every
body knows that If a vote of the people
of the United States had been taken
on the following day four out of five
votes would have been cast against
the bill. But people did not get a
chance to express themselves at the
polls for considerably over a year—un
til November, 1910. Then they showed
their opinion of the Payne-Aldrlch act
by electing a congress overwhelmingly
democratic. But that was only a third
of what It Is necessary for them to do.
The senate and the president remain
republican, senators with terms of six
years and the president four. In order
finally to overturn the party that
passed a detested law, the people must
wait four years or more. And the peo
ple must continue In the same state
of mind for that length of time. There
Is always the chance that they may
get tired hating a law or economic con
ditions may change; a new Issue may
arise; a dozen things may happen.
This Is whnt the standpatters and the
beneficiaries of the tariff are Just now
eagerly hoping. And the recent elec
tion In Massachusetts proves that the
people of that state aro less bitter
against the tariff now than they were
two years ago. In England, an unpop
ular bill would be voted down In a
few weeks; In America, It Is time and
the standpatters against the people.
Picture Gifts fr
Ilenc Mansfield In Woman's World.
A dozen cards Judiciously chosen,
stamped and tied up attractively with
Christinas ribbons, make themselves a
most acceptable little gift. Who does
not know some invalid or elderly per
son who does not get out a groat deal,
to whom cards thus ready for the mall
box would be a convenience and a de
light? Select a few cards bearing New
Year's greetings, others with birthday
greetings; some that have pretty word
ed congratulations on the birth of a
baby, and the anniversary of a wedding
of simple thanks for a gift, and If the
person for whom the cards are Intended
lives In the same town. Include u few
local scenes of Interest.
For the friend of literary tastes one
might select a group of artistic cards
that have a quotation from some well
known author beneath a picture of him,
or, with a little trouble, one may search
out mottoes and quotations from the
author known to be a favorite of some
friend.
A sot of postcard blotters makes an
unpretentious but useful gift for a man.
From the regulation-size sheet of blot
ting paper, which comes In a variety
of colors, the red or green, however,
being preferable for Christmas usage,
you can cut exactly twelve blotters four
inches wide by nine and one-half Inches
long. Fasto a motto card, preferably
about a quarter of on Inch from one
end, and, If desired, one leaf from a
small calendar in the remaining space.
A dozen scarlet blotters, with the capi
tal letters of the mottoes touched up
with scarlet or green, a monthly calen
dar always at hand, and the whole tied
op with holly ribbon—anybody who
ever "takes a pen In hand" Is sure to be
pleased with a gift like this.
There Is no end to the Interesting
Dm Postal Cards
varieties of calendars that may be got
ten up with the aid of the postcard;
hobby calendars, pretty girl calendars, '
art gallery calendars, travel calendars,
kiddie calendars and calendars of
cheer-up philosophy, served a la carte.
.Six inches wide by nine inches long Is
a good size to make the leaves of these
calendars, which may be cut from
water color paper, thin cardboard or
any art paper suitable for the purpose.
Each leaf may he pasted at the bottom,
beneath the postcard small calendars
for one, two or three months, accord
ing to the number of leaves you wish
to make. These leaves are tied to
gether at the top with a bow of narrow
ribbon or cord. Very attractive are
those made from brown paper, each
leaf having one of the author cards in
brown tones pasted in the center of It,
and brown raffia used for the tying at
the top.
The same principles of selection may
be carried out in choosing postcards for
passepartout framing. Charming little
pictures may be made quite easily that
will be most acceptable for den or bed
room or nursery. One may buy, for
fifty cents, a passepartout outfit com
plete that contains six cardboard
mounts seven by eight and one-quarter
Inches, six cardboard backs the same
size, three rolls of the gummed passe
partout binding, a tube of paste, a glass
cutter and suspension rings. Or one
may buy cardboard in sheets and cut
it any shape desired. Three or six
cards mounted In panel form, on card
board of a color to suit the subject
chosen, make a good shaped picture.
The cards may bo simply pasted on
the board, or slipped behind apertures
that have been cut with a very sharp
knife.
The Business Duel
From Harper's Weekly.
The business duel Is the skirmish
that never makes a ripple In the gen
eral business world. It Is never heard
of outside Its own "line.'' The big
conflicts of big concerns, struggling for
pre-emlence In a territory that may
be nation wide, are not duels at all.
They are great campaigns of many
battles fought by armies. A small
group of men. It may be only two,
make up the real business duel. One
of them, or perhaps several, falls by It,
precisely as a man goes down In a
field just after sunrise with a bullet
In his brain or a rapier passed through
his throat.
Two obstinate firms, who make boil
er stoking equipment, are operating
close to New York today. "Good times”
have prevailed during the past nine
years for those who have wanted the
product of either concern. All any of
them have had to do has been to hint
to one firm that the other stood a very
excellent chance of getting an order.
These tactics have been played over and
over again, but tho concerns have
never seemed to see It. Jealously they
have kept on reducing prices, "meet
ing" their rival's quotations. It has
been an easy thing to get that prod
uct so close to the cost of production
that time and again It has actually
been sold at a loss.
The skill the two firms have shown
In financing themselves has been
worthy of a better cause. Both are
still affoat, though with pitifully small
actual assets. It haB been a real per
sonal duel that they have been wag
ing. It started In a dispute over a
patent. Rather than thresh the ques
tlo out at a joint meeting or go to
law about It. the wrangle has been
allowed to rankle, and each firm has
steadfastly tried to “kill" the other.
It will not take long now. Mutval
friends have long since given up hope
of getting cither of the parties to list
en to reason.
The Hidden Hoards of America
From Harper’s Weekly,
i None can estimate the wealth hidden In
I civil war times. Down mountain slopes,
1 across the great plantations, and along
■ tlie streets of cities of the south are the
■ trails of lost fortunes. On the Mississippi
river the shanty-boaters tell tales of ket
* ties of gold coin and money that were
* hurled in the brakes or revealed in the
| caving bank of the Mississippi by a cas
cade of coin rushing lown the crumbling
[ slope Into the flood. Now and then some
oharp darky appears with a handful of ,
* old gold.
, A muthemat'clan might estimate the
quantity of nugget gold hidden by the
r'lacer miners. the loggers, tinkers,
ramps, soldiers—all the kinds of fortunes
* that are tucked away in useless and
wasteful neglect in all parts of tne ccran
r try—in stockings, mattresses, old clothes,
garrets, cellars, hollow trees, hovels, man
i «toas, cache# o! desperadote, hidings of
foreigners. If only one In 10,000 hides $100
that Is never found—and In every village
and town the proportion Is larger, among
farmers and back country people, much
larger—the loss will amount to JS00.M0.
The chances are that there are $W$>0»MOO
of hidden fortunes In this country now
gold, silver, precious stones, and paper
wealth. Many a farm, many a trtty prop
erty, goes into neglect and decay be
cause the heirs never know of It.
Although the United States has the
smallest foreign going merchant ma
rine In the world It possesses the most
perfectly equipped and elaborate light
house service to be found on any coast
line. During the last half century this
service has cost $150,000,000, and Its
.maintenance calls for the appropria
tion of about $7,000,000 annually.
WESTERN CANADA
FARMER SECURES
WORLD’S PRIZE
FOR WHEAT
_
A ROSTHERN, SASK., FARMER
THE LUCKY WINNER.
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy of the Ca
nadian Pacific Railway ofTered $1,000
in gold as a prize for the best 100 lbs.
of wheat, grown on the American con
tinent, to be competed for at the re
cent Land Show in New York. In
making the competition open, the
donor of this handsome prize showed
his belief in the superiority of Ca
nadian wheat lands, by throwing the
contest open to farmers of all Amer
ica, both United States and Canada.
The United States railways were by
no means anxious to have the Ca
nadian railways represented at the
show and a New York paper comment
ing on the results of the competitions
says that they were not to be blamed,
as the Canadians captured the most
important prize of the show.
The winner of this big wheat prize
was Mr. Seager Wheeler of Rosthern,
Saskatchewan, and its winning has
brought a great deal of credit on the
district. The winning wheat was the
Marquis variety, and received no more
attention from Mr. Wheeler than his
other grain, but he is a very particu
lar farmer. His farm is one of the
cleanest and best kept in the Ros
thern district, and this year he won
first prize in a good farm competition
which included every feature of farm
ing and every part of the farm. Last
winter Wheeler was a prize winner
at the provincial seed fair in Regina.
Wheeler Is a firm believer in sow
ing clean seed of the best quality pro
curable, consequently his grain is
much sought after by the best far
mers for seed purposes.
Wheeler is an Englishman. He is a
pioneer of Rosthern, coming here fif
teen years ago. In the last six years
he has done much experimenting, par
ticularly in wheat varieties. His farm
resembles an experimental farm. A
long driveway, lined on both sides
with trees, leads to a modest house,
the home of Wheeler, a modest, unas
suming man with the appearance of a
student rather than a man engaged in
commercial pursuits.
There are now no free homesteads
to be had in this district, and farm
lands are worth from $20 to $40 per
acre, which a few years ago were se
cured by their present owners, either
as a free gift or purchased at from $5
to $8 per acre.
It is not many miles from Rosthern,
where the farmer lives, who secured
the first prize for wheat last year at
the National Corn Exposition at Co
lumbus and West of Rosthern, about
130 miles, lives Messrs. Hill and Son,
who won the Colorado Silver Trophy,
valued at $1,500, for the best peck of
oats, also awarded at the National
Corn Show at Columbus in 1910.
Not contented with the l.igh honors
obtained in its wheat, Canada again
stepped forward into the show ring,
and carried off the Stillwell trophy
and $1,000 for the best potatoes on
the continent. This time the winner
was a British Columbia man, Mr.
Asahel Smith, the “Potato King,” of
that province. The exhibit consisted
of one hundred and ono varieties
drawn from all parts of the province
aggregating in weight one and a half
tons.
At the recent Dry Farming Con
gress, held at Colorado Springs, and
at which time It was decided to hold
the next Congress at Lethbridge, in
1912, the Province of Alberta made a
wonderful showing of grains, grasses
and vegetables.
“At the Congress, Alberta got more
prizes and trophies, ten to one, than
any state of the Union,” said Mr.
Hotchkiss to the Edmonton Bulletin.
“We brought back all but the build
ing with us, and they offered us that,
laying we might as well take all that
was going. We would have brought
<t along, too, if we had had a flat car
to put it on. Alberta captured nearly
50 first prizes, 20 seconds, 3 thirds, 9
cups, 40 medals, 50 ribbons and 2
sweepstakes. The grand sweepstake
prize, for the best exhibit by state or
province, a magnificent silver cup,
was presented to us with much cere
mony at a reception to the Canadians
in the Empress hotel. The presenta
tion was made by Prof. Olin, chair
man of the judging committee, and
the cup was received on behalf of the
province by the Hon. Duncan Mar
shall.
Resigned.
The sick man had called his lawyer.
“I wish to explain again to you," said
he weakly, "about willing my proper
ly."
The attorney held up his hand reas
suringly. "There, there," said he,
"leave that all to me.”
The sick man sighed resignedly. “I
suppose I might as well,” said he, turn
ing upon his pillow. “You’ll get It,
tnyway.”

WAVES AND BILLOWS
ON THE ATLANTIC
BY PASTOR RUSSELL.
* * ----.>4
Nov. 19.—"As well
as ever, thank
God,” was Pastor
Russell's message
to the millions who
read his sermons
weekly In the secu
lar press. His text
was from Psalm
*111, 1-8, especially
the words, “All thy
waves and thy bil
lows are gone over
me.” St. David
spoke of his own
experiences, h 1 a
own tribulations;
but prophetically
he represented the
Messiah—Head and
Body—Jesus and His saintly few gathered
during this age out of all nations, sects
and parties—“the Church of the first
borns, whose names are written In heav
en.”—Hebrews xii, 23.
m Love, iNot in Anger.
The Prophet’s experiences—wave after
wav? of trouble, disappointments, etc.—
he knew were not evidences of God’s dis
favor, but contrawise—proofs of the Heav
enly Father’s love and care—evidences
that he was being taught by God, in prep
aration for a work which he was to do.
He was pursued by Satan’s devices and
was like an antelope in the chase, fam
ished for water. “As the hart panteth
after the water brooks, so panteth my
soul after thee, oh! God;” “My soul thirst
eth for God, for the living God*. When
shall I come and appear before thee, oh!
God?” When will my trials, my testing
be finished? When shall I be received into
everlasting fellowship as the son of the
Highest? My tears have been my meat
day and night while they continue to
say unto me, "Where Is thy God?”
The people in general could not under
stand how Divine favor could be with
one so tempted, so tried, so beset by per
secutors, so maligned; as he said, “Mine
enemies speak evil of me. When shall he
die and his name perish? If he come to
me as a reporter he speaketh falsely; his
heart gathereth iniquity to itself when he
goeth abroad he telleth it. All that hate
me whisper together against me.”—Psalm
xll, 5-7.
Full of faith St. David could not be
overwhelmed. His faith would outride the
storms. He would learn his lesson. He
would thus demonstrate his faith, his loy
alty to God. lie says. “The Lord will com
mand His loving kindness in the daytime
—(in the coming day of the New Dispen
sation); In the night His song shall be
with me and my prayer shall be unto the
God of my life.”
The Greater David—Beloved.
Pastor Russell declared the most im
portant feature of St. David’s career cen
tered In the fact that he typified the Mes
siah-Head and Members. The name
David signifies Beloved, and Messiah is
the beloved Son of God. lie Is the Chief
or Head over this house of sons, all of
whom are God’s dear children—Beloved.
Thus the prophecies of the future In which
David figures prominently are properly
understood to refer to the great work of
Messiah’s Kingdom—the throne of David
will be the throne of Messiah which will
be established under the whole heavens.
The waves and billows of trouble which
passed over the Prophet David, typified the
trials and difficulties of the narrow way in
which Jesus and His faithful followers of
the new creation must walk to attain the
promised glory, honor and immortality.
St. David’s trials of faith and loyalty to
God typed the faith and loyalty of Christ
Jesus and the Church and the severe les
sons and disciplines of the present mo
ment, which are the Divine means for the
W’orking out of a “far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory;” they prefigured
the trials that will come with the end of
the present night time ushering in the
New Day, In which Christ will reign in
righteousness for the overthrow of sin
and death: “Weeping may endure for a
night, but Joy cometh in the morning.”—
Psalm xxx, 5.
The Groaning Creation’s Hope.
Although the world may escape many of
the special tribulations sent upon the
Elect, nevertheless the Pastor believes
that the trials of life rest more heavily
upon the world than upon the true
Church. This, he said, Is because the
Church has an Advocate—through whom
she receives exceeding great and precious
promises that buoy her up and permit her
to sing in “the valley of the shadow of
death”—in the night of weeping.
The w’orld not only lacks knowledge of
God and has no basis for a future hope,
but it has no hope-as an anchor, sure and
steadfast, entering within the veil to Jesus
the Fore-runner. The world endeavors to
make merry. It pursues pleasure and
strives to attain happiness, but the end is
vanity and vexation of spirit. “There Is
no peace to the wicked, saith my God:”
yea, and even to those who are seeking
righteousness the peace of God cannot
come except through its appointed Chan
nel, Christ.
Our Mission Now—arid Then.
Sin, the fall, degradation and selfishness
have had the effect of hardening the
hearts of mankind. They are stony-heart
ed by reason of the prevalent selfishness;
the tender-hearted, who love righteous
ness, are bruised—wounded—broken. This
heart-breaking is not injurious.
The broken-hearted are the more ready
to receive the message of God’s love and
mercy. It is of this broken-hearted class
that the Lord Is making up His Elect
Church: “Come unto me all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.” So far from its being the mission
of the Church to break men’s hearts it is
the very reverse—it is theirs “to bind up
tho broken-hearted.”
It Is from this broken-hearted class that
the Church is being developed. Each one
who receives the blessed Influence of the
Holy Spirit, justifying and begetting him,
becomes an ambassador cf God to pro
claim the same blessed opportunities to
others—and so the work goes on. Not un
til the end of this Age will the Church of
Christ have thus “made herself ready.”—
Revelation, xlx. 7.
Then will come tM Church's future
work, for which all of her present ex
periences are preparations—overruled by
Divine providence. Present experiences
with trials and difficulties, battling with
tho waves of trouble and obtaining Divine
assistance to surmount them, will all be
valuable preparations of tho Church for
her future work of glory. Then she will
be perfect with her Redeemer on His
Heavenly throne. How much her own
present experiences will serve to make
this class sympathetic and merciful
priests of God In the Age to come none
but God can foretell.
