FUTURE SECOND CHAMBERS.
“The Second Chamber that we need J is o lie which would conceive of its j lunctinn not as that of checking d'emoc- j racy and engaging in pitched battles | with it. but as that of educating it and j steadying it with the knowledge that fighting politicans ignore or despise. This idea may seem remote, but some-
bow or other if we want security we must learn to think rather of educating democracy before it has acted than of correcting it after it has acted. Quite probably.in the future the Second Chambers will be First Chambers preparing the ground and educating" the public for the legislation which is to follow.”—“ .J.A.5..” in the “Westminster Gazette.”
