The Democracy of the English Gov ernment. 1t is mmI1ouncedl that King George of England has assured the ib erals that as soon as they make the re(Iluest adl subml)i the names he will raise a sufl ('eint numbler of commoners t< the p)eerage to make the p)assag< of the lords' veto bill certain ii the H ouse of L ordls.

In the miatter of democracy the world has seen nothing likt that which is being written int< jhe government of Great Britain The Commons, chosen by the people, will be the government, with absolute rule over lords and king. They will not be checked and limited to certain bounds by a court standing guard over a con stitution, as in this country. An act by it becomes a part of the constitution, unloss the same conflicts with other laws in a manner not intended by the par liament. No court can correct its errors; all the judiciary can do is to amend its oversights. The king shows by his assent to the programme of Asquith and Lloyd-George Involving the "padding" of the House of Lords, if necessary to the com pletion of their policies, that he represents nothing but a shadow of a once powerful throne. With the veto bill enacted, the lords will have surrendered the last vestige of their right to in terfere with legislation affecting the country at large. No legislative bod y in all the world is more amenable to pub lic sentimIent. than the ('om monls of England. Such a goverun nental status woild not prevail in any other place in the westei'n world. But. inl England 'where tradi tion and clistoli ontranlk the writteni law, it will be safe, As Herbert Spencer says, all humian intitutiolls are devel oped by the process of evolution. A perfect government cannot be made effective by statute it must be lived into being.
