Letters to the Editor. PENRHIWCEIBER AND EDUCATION. WHITE SHIRT PARADE SUGGESTED. Dear Sir.—After following the dis- cussion on the above subject I am of opinion that the mystery deepens. Not only have those organisers kept back the accounts, but they have not come forth to complain that they are having unfair treatment at the hands of those who comment. If they so crave for public work they must also be prepared to accept public comment and criticism. I consider that "Pro Bono Publico," as his nom de plume implies, does public service. If the persons con- cerned are not prepared to respond to the fair and right demands of the letters I humbly beg to suggest that they have the same treatment as was meted out to the non-unionists about 3 weeks ago. Take out the white shirt and cry out. "Clear up!" It will be well for some people to hear the echo of their own sentiments or trumpet. I hope, now that Pro Bono Publico has commenced his campaign, he will carry it on to a finish, thereby affording the public an opportunity of preventing a re- currence of such business by keeping these people well in remembrance. Hands off, please !—I am, etc., READER.

ABERDARE BLACKLEGS IN AMERICA. Dear Mr. Editor,—We have read in your valuable paper a letter written by Mr. T. C. Richards con- cerning a strike in Cumberland, Vancouver Island, stating that there are three young men who came from Aberdare last March guilty of scab- bing or acting as blacklegs. It so happens that we are natives of the same county, and left for Canada last March, and iourneyed to a friend who has the honour of belong- ing to the same county. We regret to state that we are believed to be the three guilty scabs. Now we are anxious to say through your columns, with your permission, to all our friends and associates, and also to all those who believe us guilty of such a charge, that such a stigma cannot be truthfully applied to us, as our love for the Union is equally as strong as when we were members of the South Wales Miners Federation, and we have no desire of forsaking its principles. Triisting you will allow us space for this explanation. We remain, yours, etc., I D. ROBERTS. S. DAVIES. J. HENRY. Commerce. Alberta, Canada. October 10.

WHEN YOU ARE LIVERISH." To feel liverish, or to have a liver," simply indicates that the liver is not doing its work properly. Liverishness gives some people throbbing headaches; others have blurred vision or see double, and many are troubled with sleepless- ness and depression. A sluggish live-r is also a common source of bad temper and irritability. As a liver corrective and tonic there is nothing better than Mother Seigel's Syrup, and as it is such a simple matter to take thirty drops in a little water after your meals, you, need not con- tinue to suffer from liverishness or biliousness, or from indigestion or constipation. In this simple way thousands of people avoid these dis- tressing complaints. Many of them would not be without Mother Seigel's Syrup at any price.

The Valley Council. Mishtor Iditor,— The first mateing of this Council was held at Messrs. Rabiotti's, Ox- ford Strate, on Tuesday of this week. It was a mosht injoyable mateing at which each member gave vent to his faleings in viry forcible an' ixpressive language. There was a viry good attendance of delgates, an' the pub- lic gallery was crowded. Oi musht ixplain the counter was converted into a gallery spicially for the occa- sion, an' the audience was viry patient an' sympathetic in their at- titude towards the Council in the viry thrying an' ardous debates which ensued. The following members were pris- int:—Spud Murphy in the chair. The other members were Messrs. Mike Dunavan, Con Daly, Dennis O'Shea, Pat Rafferty. Dan Regan, Mishtress Bridget Maloney an' Char- lottee Hennessey. A foine spache by the Chairman opened the evening's injoyment. an' during which he sent a viry small bhoy to Mishtor Herbert's for a packet of Force, an' he wint a trate after that. (Grate applause.) Admit Press. Con Daly proposed that the Press be admitted Mike Dunavan seconded, whin Biddy rose to move what they call an ammendment, an' thin the fun stharted. The Chairman called for a bucket of icecream to cool their tempers.-For, 3! against, 2. Enter Bolger wid a grate big exer- cise book an' a viry long pencil, an' as thire was no room on the seat or in the gallery, Charlie gave him a pop box to sit on. Shure, an' he reports for the "Ynysybwl Gazette," an' the short hand he does is mosht awful. Spud Murphy fkleing the importance of his posishtion on the grate occasion paid for a halfpenny wafer all on his own for the Press. The bell rings (bicycle) to business in earnest. Dennis O'Shea asked the opinion of the Council as to the advisability of erecting seats in the Square at the Mount for the inspection com- mittee who frequent it during the evenings, also a balcony on the Bank at a height not to exceed 5 fate, so that they may be out of danger of all traffic. A viry long discussion followed, all the members taking part, an' Bolger writing viry hard. Finally it was left over for the Aber- dare mating at Bracchi's in a month's toime. Rafferty asked for information in regard to the Canal Bridge in the Mount. The Chairman in a mosht able an' well thought out spache said Mishtor Lloyd George was out at prisint on the Land Question, an' he thought that a deputation should wait upon him. Charlottee proposed an' Biddy did the other thing That we purchase twopenny worth of squibs an' blow it up.-For, seven; against, nil. Jist here, sor, Dan Regan ordered a bob's worth of wafers an' some chips. Bridget proposed that shelters be provided for courting couples in Dyffryn Woods to protect them from being injured by falling acorns. Charlottee charged Biddy wid being in Luv. Biddy asked Charlottee if she knew what Luv was. She said it was something which Lloyd George could not tax. It was decided to convert the Tump in Newtown into a Park for the people for all toime. A long discussion ensued over a suggestion by Mike that a footbridge be erected from Aberdare Road to the Drill Hall. The Chairman pointed out the grate ixpense an' unsurmountable difficulties which would arise. Just here, sor, Bolger left to buy another book, an' we had refreshments. Enter Bolger looking trihumphant wid a red book. A viry heated argument batwane Biddy an' Charlottee over a sug- gestion that the police should put the children to bed while the parents were at the Empire or the Hall, an' in the end was left over to the tender mercies of the District Council. This ended the agenda Miscellaneous. It was resolved to send a deputa- tion to Paris to attend the Confer- ence on Lame Fleas. It was unanimously deceided that telephonic communication be in- stalled to the houses at Old Aber- cwmboi to warn them of the ap- proach of strangers. It was pointed out that it was a better way than hitting the fireplaces wid the poker. A vote of sympathy was carried unanimously by Bolger to the front ;¡-- .J al. r'1. .t_ 1. i UUU.1 wm (life \~llctirLUilll LUl Ills lietv- ing to provide the refreshments of the evening. Rafferty suggested that it was an ill omen for clocks to strike at Prim- rose League Meetings. It was deceided that the Council be given a free thrip around Aber- dare on the Cars an' that Spud Murphy pay the cost of same.—For, seven; against, nil. It was proposed an' carried unani- mously that the Aberdare Council be notified of the fact, an' that they be asked to reserve a Car, an' to mention a date convenient to thim- silves, an' that a certain Militant be asked to accompany them an' ixplain the different places of interest. Bolger goes for another book. it was deceided that Katterty be sent to the Drill Hall on November the tenth an' that his ixpenses be paid out of the Funds.—For, 6; against. 1. It should be stated that Pat is wating for to know, more fully about the growth of roses an' go one step further. Patrick proposed a vote of thanks for the Roses which arrived quite safely. The Chairman declares the mate- ing closed, an' Bolger goes to the 'phone. Oi am, sor, Your obadient servant, PATRICK RAFFERTY.
