Synopsis
Excerpt from The Outlook, 1907, Vol. 85
Conservative majority; by popular agi tation against the present constitution, and possibly against the continued ex istence, of the Upper House, and, if things go to the full length, an appeal to the country on the question whether the House of Lords can longer veto the popular will. If this issue were pre sented to the country, and the country decided by a great majority against the Lords, and the Upper House refused to recognize the popular decision, the House of Commons might itself, as it has done before, ignore the House of Lords, or resolve that it no longer pos sesses the veto power. None of these alternatives are likely to be necessary. If the House of Lords remembers, as it probably will, the precedents of its own history, it will make a strenuous fight to the last moment, and when it discovers that the Commons and the people are resolutely against it, it will make the best terms it can by way of compromise.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book immerses readers in the complex events of January 5, 1907, when Congress considered a law to reinstate dismissed members of the Brownsville battalion. The author analyzes this incident within the broader context of racial tensions, military discipline, and the separation of powers. By examining indictments against prominent figures such as George W. Perkins and Charles S. Fairchild, the book explores the ethical implications of forging documents and violating laws to gain commercial advantages. The author also highlights the tragic death of Pennsylvania Railroad president Alexander Johnston Cassatt, whose devotion to his work is contrasted with the scandals involving financial speculators in control of certain railways. Additionally, the retirement of British Ambassador Sir Henry Mortimer Durand is discussed, as well as his diplomatic efforts and contributions to society in both England and the United States. This book delves into the intricacies of power dynamics, ethics, and the interplay between government and corporations at the turn of the 20th century, offering valuable insights into the historical and cultural landscape of the era.
