We have been hearing about it as long as1 most of us remember, but so far nothing definite has been done although some promises have been made: During the life of the last Conservative government many Senators died and their places were all filled with Conservatives. Since then vacancies have been filled by Liberals but the Conservative balance of power has not yet been overcome and the second chamber is still Conservative. The result has been that the present government has not been in a position to make any reforms. Possibly even when the Senate becomes Liberal it may hold out against being abolished or much changed. Most of the important reforms are brought about during national crises. The probability is that the same will happen in regard to the Senate. Some day there will be a battle royal between the two houses and the people of the country will be sufficiently aroused to rise and sweep the derelict old chamber off the mapj Weather does not affect a strong man.
