THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
"THE TIMES" URGES REEOEM
(Received Nov. 29, 11,30 p.m.) London, Nov. 29. "The Times" admits that the House of Lords can be improved, anil Jiopes : it will be. Apart from tho obvious weakness of the hereditary principle, it is too large. Lord Rosebery's committee recommended one way of meeting this.- Moreover, though in many .respects the present House is thoroughly representative, there are important elements in the national life, such as the self-govern-ing dominions, labour, and Non-con-formity represented insufficiently or un-represented.Unionists will do a wise and politic thing which will be appreciated by the country if they take up the "reform of the House of Lords in earnest.
