THE WANE OF PARLIAMENT
No greater or more far-reaching
change has been wrought by the war
than the serious decline of Parliamen-
tary authority in the British Isles and
in Canada. In both countriee that de-
cline is the direct result of a virtual
dictatorship to which Liberalism of-
fered, and still offers, the most de-
termined opposition,
In both countries the overthrow of
Parliamentarygovernment was. coin-
Cident with the revival of a reactionary
and rampant Toryism which has Made.
use of its vantage ground to thwart
the purposes of a triumphant DOnoc-
raey- .and to reap'', for the ,privileged
classes the fruits of a war which was -
fought in order that Democracy might
at last come into its own. The en-
trenchment of the Big Interests and
the virtual abrogation of represent-
ative government have gone" hand in
hand. e . •
Whatever differences of opinion rimy
prevail as to the best course to be
pursued rn a war of such stupendous
magnitude, the setting aside of Par-
liament even in war tinie may be just-
ified only by the results sought and obe
tainecl. It has yet to be shown that
the methods pursued by Mr. Lloyd
George and se slavishly followed in
Canadawere, under all the circum-
stances, the best possible methods and
the least likely to work permanent in-
jury to the delicate and sensitive
.ineehanism of free government.
The conflict between Mr. Asquith
and Mr. • Lloyd Geaege was not con-
cerned only with the conduct of the
war. Far-seeing statesmen like Mr.
. Asquith were bound to consider the
aftermath of the war, and the rev-
olutionary tendencies which, as the
experience a the past had shown,
invariably accompany such cataclys-
mic conflicts - Mr. Lloyd Georga lived
foe. one day. Mr, Asquith with keen-
er vision, administered with an eye
to the permanence and stability of
society. .Therein lay the divergent
viewpoints that led to the rupture be-
tween the two statesmen. Mr. As-
, quitia stoed by the Constitution, He
.sought to -maintain in war, as in peace
- the su rereacy of Parliament and of
the Cabinet as the Committe of Par-
liam-ent. Mr. Lloyd George insisted
upon a supreme War Executive, and
on its detachment from and independ-
ence of Parliament "I do not like
the word dictatorship," declared Me
Asquith. To Mr. Lloyd George- never
at any time a great Parliamentarian -
the rale of dictator was the line of
least resistance. This Democrat, who,
had hurled the most opprobious epi-
thets at the Leads, and who had suc-
cessfully challenged. its autocatic con-
trol of legislation through the exercise
of -the power of the veto,: now out -Cur -
zoned Curzonan his contempt for Par-
liamentary authority exercisedthrough
the representatives of a free people.
It will be said, no doubt, that the just-
ification for his conduct is to be found
in the defeat of the Germans, but the
revoluntary innovations which he
brought about must be tested in a wid-
• er field than that of a four yeas! war,
How have these changes affected Par-
liament, and the liberties that are
bound up with the maiatenance of
Parliamentary government?
The decadence of Parliamentary
government hae resulted here and in
the United Kingdom in the less of
control over taxation and finance -the
primary and main beainess of the
House of Commons. No effective re-
straint can be placed on extravagant
and wasteful expenditure until the
rights of Parliament, which have been
arrogated by the Executive, axe fully
restored. The &aline of Parliamen-
tary authority in Canada is seen in
:the closing of Parliament for all but
. two months in 191.8 and in, the sub-
stitution of government by Order -in -
Council for Parliamentary legislation.
The downfall of Parliathent is re-
flected in the outcry a,gainat party
government and the lack of respect
for Parliamentary traditions shown
by the Press, Step by step the Ex-
ecutive has usurped the functions of
Parliament and imposed upon its sup-
porters in the House a blind and un-
questioning loyalty. In Britain, loy-
alty to the Administration is pur-
chased bir the appointment of increase
ing nu -tethers of members of theHouse
to minor offices. Canada has followed
in the wake of British precedents in
this (respect'. Union Government
has been consolidated by a system
of bribery which enables the Executive
to multiply offices at the expense of
the public treasury.
The most serious result of this
decline of Parliamentary authority
is that the House of C01111110118 has
ceased to be an effective safety -valve
for popular discentent Were the tid-
al waves of European revolution to
reach- our coast there is no National
Assembly in which the voice of the
people may be heard. National unrest
• is no longer expressed through the
vehicle of Parliamentary discussion. In
thousands of meeting places through-
out the Dominion, shadowed by de-
tectives and Government secret agents
• the seeds of revolution are being •sown

lamentary freedom is reflected m the
rise of the Forum, 'farmers' Mass

Sunday labor meetings, and the ina, etery and was followed by a large
vasioti of the pulpits by social re- 5 number, of . sympathizing relations and
formers. Parliamenrhas ceased to be '
-the grand inquest of the nation. While
autocracy has been wealc,eried in Eur-
opean countries, Canadians, have been
taught to look to Parliament as the
Duncan and Samuel, of McKillop. The

idence, in Egmaitidville, on Friday,
April 11th, to the Maitlandbank Cem-

with contempt as an institution that
has fallen from its high estate and
which no lor4ger stands between the
country and oppressive laws. Let
our statesmen take heed to the •wern-
ings of the Set. To impair the_use-
fulness of Parliament and to weaken
its authority astheinstrument of the
people's will is to open the door to
revolution. The'immediate restoration
of the authority of Parliament is the
best antidote 1 to national unrest and

pelled to give over his acadeinic/car-

and that faith in the "overruling prov-

he never lost his grip, he gave way
to other duties ap.d other tasks with
a cheerfulness, which was a surprise
to many. •While his plan of life was
changed, he may have exercised as
great an influence in a little rural
community, as. in college halls.
Mr. Richardson was temperamen-
tally as well" as spiritually a deeply
religious man. He had the soul of
a mystic. In his outlook on life, he
combined the poetic and philosophic
temperaments in fine proportion. He
marked the footprints of God in na-
ture and life and loved to trace them
Whither they led.
He wrote. a great deal of excellent
poetical verse, which hit friends
were wont to urge him to let see the
light of day, but here as elsewhere
his quiet, shy, modesty shunned the
glare of publicity.
,He had an indomitable faith in the
controlling guiding hand of Provi-
dence. His faith was, best exoressed
in the last word e he heard from his
mother's dying lips and which he
caused to be carved upon the family
menument: "Oh Lord, thou alone
canst help ,for we are , as nothing- be.
ore Thee.e
The commtmity where kr. Richard-
son' spent the last years of his life
loved him as a brother and in many
ways looked to him for counsel and
guidance.
His duties as clerk of Stanley
township for the past six years, were
discharged with that same, conscient-
ious regard and thoroughness which
he manifested in all his undertakings.
In , his, death, the township has sus-
tained the loss of a most valued of-
ficial and the country at large one
who could have filled. any position
Within its gift.
Mr. Richardson was much in de-
mand at public gatherings and poli-
tical meetings,. where as speaker, his
incisive wit, gentle raillery, and fund
of common sense often threw oil on
the troubled waters.
He will be missed in St. Andrew's
church, Baetfield, of which he was a
member and where, as a loyal helper
in the choir, his' fine tenor voice of
remarkable range and sweetness add-
ed greatly to the effectiveness of, the
'eevice of praise.
His work here is done, but he has
passed within the veil to the temple
where the lord's servants serve Him
day and night withoeit weariness and
where the talents we have multiplied
here cepens up to us unlfinited possi-
bilities in the future for the exercise
of all our gifts. In the lines of Ten-
nyson' s In Memorian;
"Nor Blaine we death •
Because he bore the use of virtue out

His death, though sudden, was te
him not unexpected as he often spoke
of its imminence but to us who sor-
row, we feel like saying in the words
of the author of "In Flanders Fields"
in his little allegorical poem on
death called "Mine Host:" "We had
