The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

The Pioneer." Important Announcement. The sole management of the "Welsh .Coast Pioneer" will in future be vested in Mr J. S. Edwards on behalf of the new proprietors of this journal. All business -transactions will henceforth be conducted at the head office at Colwyn Bay (and not .at Chester), where editorial and business letters should be addressed. All business communications, how- ever, should be addressei to the Manager, and not to individuals by name.

OUR POINT OF VIEW. PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. WHXN last week the Labour Representa- tion Committee published its report, there was a hint that the Labour party would .ask Parliament for the payment of Mem- bers. There was a certain tangible induce- ment to move in this direction. The pre- sent subscription to the Parliamentary Fund yields about £ 4,500. Twen-ty-nine of the Committee's nominees were elected, and the Committee was face to face with the -necessity of providing twice that sum per .annum. The twenty-nine Members are do- iing the nation's work; let the nation pay! -said the report. It is worth watching to see whether the influence of example in Berlin will affect the Committee's propa- ganda. Payment of Members is already in vogue in the several State Legislatures -there, but not for the Reichstag. There the ,democracy was feared; but, curiously "enough, the wind is now blowing the other way. It is expensive for business men to sit in the House, and the consequence is that there is difficulty sometimes about a quorum. The Government, as a result, are considering the introduction of payment ,of Members, not as a Socialist move, but to strengthen the Centre in the House, a composite body which Bebel, head -of the Social Democrats, brands very comprehensively as one reactionary mass." The command of organised funds, it has been urged, at present gives the Social Democrats the advantage.

AMERICA AND THE OIL TRUST. THE Standard Oil investigation which is -dragging its weary length in America is not particularly interesting to English people, except by way of being a warning n -against the perils of monopoly which may well be taken to heart. But as observers ,Weocan extract some instruction from the attitude which some of the oil magnates have adopted towards the authority of the law. Mr. Rockefeller himself, who is wanted as a witness, is not unlikely to follow the example of the Vice-President and executive head of the Standard Oil, Mr. Henry H. Rogers, who positively re- fused to answer the questions put to him, "on the advice of counsel." The matter is not, of course, yet adjudged upon, but it is doubtful whether the position taken up by the oil magnates will improve the tem- per either of the Commission or of the American people, who thus see the authority of the law openly set at defiance. Even those papers which are concerned in the defence of the Corporation recognise that the demeanour of Mr. Rogers in the witness-box was an attempt to turn a legal inquiry into a farce; and it has an appear- ance of arrogance not pleasant to contem- plate. What seems certain is that the American public, though it has been slow to assert itself, is at last awaking to the full significance of the operations of the Trusts, and the attitude assumed by the 'heads of these corporations. Even in America a point may be reached beyond which oil trust millionaires will find it impossible to go in flouting the law.

RAILWAY VERSUS TRAMWAY. THE half-yearly meetings of the railway -companies usually provide food for a good deal of thought, not only to the share- holders, who nowadays assemble in dismal conclave sadly to contemplate diminished -dividends, but to the general public. Among the topics which have claimed at- tention of late at these gatherings the principal has perhaps been the effect of the development of the electric tramways in j suburban districts. Unquestionably the new tramway system in many cases caught the 'railway companies napping, and Dig decreases in the short-distance traffic re- sulted. But, judging from the reports pre- sented this month, the more .violent effects have now reached their limit and the rail- A ways, by instituting electric traction or motor services on local lines, have managed to some extent to stay the flood which threatened to sweep away their local traffic. Indeed, in the case of one northern rail- way the introduction of- electric traction 'has actually turned the tables upon a local tramway company to such an extent that the tramway has only managed to pay ex- penses and return no dividend to their shareholders. Perhaps these facts will in- duce the railway companies in the future to embark more freely upon that policy of modern development which is now proved to pay, but which they have neglected in the past to their seriovs disadvantage.

LUNACY STATISTICS. THE apparent increase in lunacy is a subject to which public men are prone to address themselves in terms which appear to imply a condition of affairs more than ordinarily alarming. But exceeding care is necessary in dealing with lunacy statistics and the Hospital says, referring to a state- ment made by Sir John McDougall re- cently, that the figures require to be con- sidered in relation to certain changes in the popular sentiment towards the public care of lunatics. The improvements in asylum administration and accommodation have been so great that there is not now the prejudice against sending friends or re- lations into the institutions which for- merly existed. Homes for imbeciles, as dis- tinct from lunatics, are provided, and into these the naturals," who formerly were kept at home by poor people so long as they were not violent, are sent. The regis- tration of a large body of whose existence the law formerly took no cognisance is therefore secured; and many other cases occur in which the inmates of asylums would not, under the old conditions, have been included in the statistics. That the whole of the increase can be attributed to these causes is, perhaps, not a reasonable proposition, but, for the most part, the in- crease may fairly be described as more ap- parent than real.

THE" DREADNOUGHT." So much rather hysterical matter has surrounded the launch of the Dreadnought that it is a relief to read the sage common sense of Sir William White's judgment upon the new departure, based upon the details which have leaked out. Sir William protested against the statement that the new battleship will be equal, as a fighting unit, to two or three earlier battleships as being "crude and misleading." Her heavy armament of ten 12in. guns is, it is true, more than twice as strong as that of her immediate predecessors, in which only four 12in. guns are mounted. But to ob- servers the principle upon which the Dreadnought has been armed, though in some sense it is the embodiment of the lessons of Tsushima, does not appear yet to be adequately proved; and this de- parture is necessarily in the nature of an experiment against which, even before it is put to the test, there are many practical objections to be urged. Sir William dis- sents from the view, apparently held in Admiralty circles at the present time, that only heavy guns will count in future en- gagements and he draws attention to the comparatively small supplies of ammuni- tion carried with heavy guns-a serious point where the area over which the British Fleet would be called upon to fight is considered. These matters are, perhaps, of rather technical interest; but it is well that the public took both sides of the 4estion. ♦

The Proper Direction. Those who have given the matter a little consideration have, no doubt, been impressed with the gradual, yet pronounced, change there has been in the musical taste of the Welsh nation during the past few years. Week by week our columns have been betraying the fact. The old order changeth. Eisteddfodau and competitive meetings are being superseded. The people are slowly, but surely, realising the charms and ennobling influences of the educa- tion gained by devoting themselves to the more elevated departments of musical culture. Years ago every town and village boasted its eistedd- fod, whereas the performance of a stiff, classi- cal oratorio or cantata was practically un- known except in well-populated towns. To- day we find most of the comparatively small centres of life in North and South Wales pay- ing the most painstaking and ambitious atten- tion to the masterpieces of Handel, Mendel- ssohn, Gounod, Mozart, and the rest. And, what is more, this is done with ever-increasing success, btoth from a popular and educative point of view. It has been a long time coming, but the staging of a classic in a Welsh town to-day proves as great an attraction as any form of entertainment, and, though there is less noise at such gatherings, the enthusiasm is quite as great as that evinced in an eistedd- fodic contest. We have naturally no intention to decry our fine old national institution. "Hir oes i'r Eisteddfod" by all means. But we can- not help feeling that the present trend in our musical tastes is in the proper direction. Here we may congratulate Rhyl and Conway upon the triumphant success of their choral organ- isations. On Wednesday night the ancient borough revelled for the first time in history in the performance of "The Messiah" by a choir composed entirely of local talent. On Thursday evening "The Creation" was most successfully given at Rhyl.

Sunday Golf at Llandudno. "Lord Mostyn has placed at the disposal of the Llandudno Golf Club a fine stretch of golf- ing ground, on which will be laid out a new course, much nearer to the town than the pre- sent one, and where golf may be played at any time." This was the announcement made to Llandudno residents on Wednesday, and there is no denying the mixed impressions prevail- ing in consequence. On the one hand, most golfers are naturally jubilant, while a very large number of influential people in the, town, who have regarded this matter from the broader standpoint of freedom of action, re- joice in the overthrow of a clique whose meddlesome fingers have to a considerable ex- tent retarded the real progress of the place already. On the other hand Puritans bewail the distressing fate of their machinations. With the latter we have no sympathy. In- deed, we could not help participating in the pronounced sigh of relief with which the play- ers themselves ascertained the news. Apart from the objection to Sabbatarian bigotry-an element which appears to permeate certain circles in Llandudno with deplorable effect-it would be gross inj ustice/to deprive local golf- ers of the liberty they have hitherto enjoyed. In the first place, the club includes amongst its members a number of gentlemen who, by rea- son of race and creed, do not hold orthodox views on Sabbath observations. Jews, for in- stance, regard our Saturday as the Lord's Day, and it stands to reason that they should not be restricted in their legitimate actions on the Britisher's Sunday. Moreover, Roman Catho- lics the world over disagree with most of us on the same point, and if our vaunted freedom counts for anything, we are not qualified to dictate to them in these matters. Then, again, it .should not be forgotten that the arguments of the most clear-headed Puritans have abso- lutely failed to dislodge the broader-minded man from his position, even when the point is discussed on Biblical grounds, pure and simple. Finally, Llandudno can ill afford losing the £20,000 per annum spent in the town by the golfing fraternity. Lord Mostyn deserves not only the thanks of local sportsmen, but those of the inhabitants generally for providing a way out of a considerable difficulty.

A Case for Enquiry. From the evidence adduced before the Ruthin justices on Tuesday, it would appear that Bumbledom still retains its old characteristics. The magistrates were told that two tramps had been refused admittance into the work- house on the ground that they were too late, it being then between 9-30 and 10 p.m. Con- sequently they had perforce to submit to the rigours of a tempestuous winter's night in an open cart, where the rain soon reduced their frail clothing into a pitifully sodden condi- tion. It should be stated that they had pre- viously applied for tickets in the usual way, and the police state they were at that time "soaking wet, appearing on the verge of star- vation." When refuge in the workhouse was denied them, they returned to the police sta- tion, but the police were, of course, powerless under the circumstances. There was thus nothing for it but to resort to the offence which brought them before the justices, name- ly, sleeping out. The Mayor of Ruthin, who presided over the court, described the action of the workhouse authorities as "a great shame," but, before we echo his sentTm°nts, the case for the other side must be heard. We all know Weary William is prone to pre- varicate, and in justice to those in charge of the "big house," we must guardedly accept the statements made until all the facts are known. Meanwhile, however, the Guardans of the Union should spare no efforts to ascer- tain the whole truth. The character t: the officials impunged, no less than justice ta 'he rejected wanderers, demands this. »

Personal and Social. The Duke of Westminster left Grosvenor House yesterday for Oakham. The Marquess of Anglesey left Euston on Monday afternoon for Beaudesert, Lichfield. The Earl and Countess of Powie left Euston on Saturday afternoon for Powis Castle,Welsh- pool. Lady Berkeley Paget, who has been suffering from a bad attack of asthma, is now making good progress. Mr Lloyd George, President of the Board of Trade, has appointed Mr A. C. McLaren. M.P., as his private secretary (unpaid). Lady Magdalen Williams-Bulkeley is still confined to her house in Portland-place, Lon- don, but is approaching convalescence. Lord and Lady Penrhyn left Bangor for London yesterday. They were unable to arrive in time for the opening of Parliament. Lord Carrington claims that since 1868 only 18 of the tenants who hold the 23,000 acres of land he lets for farming and other purposes have left his estate. Mr W. J. Owen has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the Bangor and Beaumaris Board of Guardians, caused by the resignation l of Mr ,A.)C. Downs. The Duke of Westminster, who was present at the opening of Parliament, left on Tuesday for Eaton Hall, Chester. The Duchess of Westminster left on Monday for a few days' hunting before returning to Eaton Hall. The President of the Board of Trade (Mr Lloyd George) was on Thursday night the guest of members of his own profession, the Incorporated Society, at a banquet held at the Law Institute in Chancery Lane. Flags were flying at half-mast at Penrhyn Castle, the University College of North Wales, the coastguard station, and other places in Bangor, on Sunday, on the occasion of the funeral of the late Kin-g of Denmark. The Rev John Williams has declined to with- draw his resignation of the pastorate of the Princes-road Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church, Liverpool, and will close his ministry there on the last Sunday in March. Mr G. Hay Morgan, the new member for Truro, and a native of Hay, Breconshire, preaching at the City Temple, said some straight things regarding the worship of money in the Christian churches at the pre- sent .day. "Men," he observed, "sell their birthright for money exactly as Judas sold his I Master, but then they come and take up prom- inent positions in God's house, instead of hav- ing the decency to go and hang tlieiiiselves." Mr David Davies, M.P., who recently bought the Hotel Cambri-a at Aberystwyth (built at a cost of £ 50,0000), has offered it as a gift to the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Connexion for a theological college, in which the present insti- tutions at Bala and Trevecca would be com- bined. If Bala College declines to amalgamate, it is understood that it will be offered to Tre- vecca College. According to the returns furnished to the returning officers in Carnarvonshire, the total election expenses of Mr D. Lloyd George, M.P., at the recent contest in the Carnarvon Bor- oughs amounted to J3461 13s. Those of Mr Bryn Roberts, M.P., who was elected unoppos- ed for the Eivion Division, were JB94 14s. lid., of which L35 10s. represented the returning officer's charges. His interest in the debates of the House of Commons and his desire to have the earliest intimation of the views of the Government with regard to the amendment of the Educa- tion Bill, took the Bishop of St. Asaph early on Monday afternoon to his accustomed seat in the Peers' Gallery. Amongst the visitors in the special gallery were several mining re- presentatives from Denbighshire. Wales "supplied in the person of Sir Leoline Jenkins, who was born at Llantrisant, a Sec- retary of State to King James II.'s Govern- ment. A distinguished scholar and a man of rare attainments, Sir Leoline Jenkins is cred- ited with founding the famous Grammar School at Cowbridge, and to him is due the honour of materially aiding in the second founding of Jesus College, Oxford, originally founded by Hugh Price, of Brecon. A correspondent states that London Welsh- men of all parties are in a state of indignation at the opposition from the Conservative ma- jority on the Cardiff City Council to the pro- posal to offer Mr Lloyd George the freedom of the city. The incident is referred to as a fur- ther instance of the anti-national feeling which prevails in some quarters of Cardiff, and add it to their stock of arguments why that city should not be considered the'capital of Wales. 0

Rhyl Choral Society. Fine Performance of The Creation" at the Palace Full List of Those Taking Part. THE Rhyl Choral Society is one of those iusL- tutions in the town which have llot-t:, use a vulgarism-Hgone under." It is a notorious fact, that few societies exist in Rhyl without a break for more than a few years, but the Choral Society has now been most successfully carried on for six years, and has done much to improve and cultivate a love for music. This success is undoubtedly due in no small degree to the genuine interest which its mem- bers take in it, and to the fact that it has a president who is something more than a figure- head. In Mr W. J. P. Storey the Society has a president who, in season and out of season, does what he can to help it, and who is as enthusiastic in attending practices and com- mittee meetings as any individual member. Then again, in Mr Richd. Bromley, the Society has an ideal conductor. He -is not one who runs counter to everybody, but while main- taining a thorough command and strict atten- tion when wielding the baton, Mr Bromley is most considerate, and there is not a member of the Rhyl 'Choral Society who would not make every effort to please him. There is throughout the ranks a spirit of unity which augurs well for the Society's future. The splendid rendering of Haydn's "Creation," last evening, was a really fine production. It is not to be supoosed that such success has been attained without hard work. The members have been most painstaking in their study of the work, and, as a member remarked to our representatives before the concert, "The Rhyl Choral Society has never had such a wonderful season as that through which we have passed." As in former years, a platform was erected by Mr Torkington for the performance, and the decorative work was entrusted to Messrs Rhydwen Jones and Davies, while the hundred and one details which have to lie attended to in a performance of this character, were most faithfully carried out by Mr A. W. Lewis, the hon. secretary, who was assisted by a very good working committee. As we have said before, one and 'all worked with a will, and the increased interest taken in the Society by the general public is in a great measure dne to the unselfish work which the officials and members undertake. Mrs R. Bromley has been most energetic as accompanist, and her deputy (Miss Mabel Hughes) has likewise helped in no small degree. The committee had been most fortunate in their choice of artistes for this concert. In Miss Grace Hamilton they had a soprano who has won golden opinions wherever she his appeared. She has a beautiful voice, and ren- dered her solos in splendid style. All expected a great treat from Mr Evan Williams, the deservedly popular tenor, and in this they were not disappointed,, He sang with a power which held the large audience spell-bound, and on every hand were heard congratulations and ex- pressions of satisfaction that the committee had engaged such an able vocalist. Mr Ernest Groom. the baritone, was also a great favour- ite. His fine voice was heard to great advan- tage in the Palace, and he met with a hearty reception. In Mr Herbert R. Clac,, the audi- ence had a clever solo pianist, and he too came in for most appreciative applause. The first, pirt of the programme was as follows :-Ha'dn's "Creation:" Introduction. "Representation of Chaos;" recit. Mr Ernest Groom, "In the beginning;" chorus. "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the Waters;" recit, Mr Evan Williams. "And God saw the light;" air.
