CARDIGANSHIRE AND THE SMALL…
CARDIGANSHIRE AND THE SMALL HOLDINGS MOVEMENT. AT the quarterly meeting of the Cardigan- shire Small Holdings Committee on Thurs- day, Sir Edward Pryse moved that a small committee be appointed to hold a public inquiry into the administration of the Act in the County. The sense of the meeting was strongly against such a motion, and Sir Edward having withdrawn it, Ir. D. C. Roberts' motion to appoint a committee to inquire into the financial aspect of the ad,, ministration of the Act, and any other matters calculated to Jacilitate its working" was unanimously adopted. There is a vast difference between these two proposals. They vary in form, and we ven- ture to think that the one is conceived in a. spirit totally different to that of the other. Indeed, Mr. Edward Jones, Ponterwyd, bluntly stated that he saw no use in Sii Edward Pryse's motion except to defeat the object of the Act." This view, we believe, will be endorsed by the great majority of those who have followed the proceedings of the district and county Small Holdings Committees in Cardiganshire. A similar move to that made at the county committee on Thursday was made at the Aberystwyth District Committee a few months ago, when I a sub-committee was appointed with the ostensible object of making inquiries into the working of the Act. But who has ever heard of that sub-committee since ? And what has it done to facilitate the working of the Act ? If some of the members of the Small Holdings Committee had been half at- industrious in administering the Act as they have been in finding fault with it, things would have gone on much more smoothly and successfully. It is intolerably absurd that men who have been entrusted with the working of the Small Holdings Act should continually sit in judgement upon its merits, and waste the time of meeting after meeting by indulging in Carping criticism Upon its provisions. What is really wanted in Cardiganshire is a much more vigorous application of the Act, and it is simply that and nothing more that some people do not wish to see I It is interesting to note how the oppon- ents of the Small Holdings Movement have to shift their ground from time to time, At first they assumed an attitude of stolid indifference and when, at last, steps were taken to put the machinery of the Act in motion, they urged that Cardiganshire was already a county of small holdings, and that, therefore, the Act was not required here. And now again, when signs of activity are multiplying, we are told that we are going in the wrong direction altogether, and that what the Small Holdings Committee should really do is to help the applicants to become peasant proprietors rather than small holders. We are afraid that the plea now put forward by certain members of the Small Holdings Committee in support of ownership must be taken rather as a dictate of emergency than as a conclusion billed upon reason and experience. If it is better to be a peasant proprietor than a small holder, will Mr. Peter Jones explain how is it that only a very small percentage of the thousands of applications made under the Small Holdings Act of 1907 have been for ownership tenancies ? The experience of this and other countries is that a grave danger attends any system of peasant pro- prietorship, and that is the tendency for the land to become overwhelmed with debt. What do we find abroad, as a consequence of an excessive extension of ownership, in contradistinction to tenancy ? Everywhere land is overburdened with debt. Mr. Henry W. olff, who is recognised throughout Europe as an authority on all matters con- nected with the machinery of small holdings, warns us of the danger that lies in the direction of peasant proprietorship. Our yeomen in Tudor days could not resist the temptation to take the money which the great capitalists offered, and to sell the in- heritance of their fathers, to be turned into sheep walks. That same temptation, says Mr. ,W olff, is only too likely to present itself afresh in modern times, and then, where will be the realization of the object for which the land was first forcibly taken from its owner? Surely, it would be folly not to learn wisdom from the trouble foreign statesmen areexperi- encing at the present day with the question of small ownerships. There is no such danger in tenancy. Full ownership carries advan- tages and creators of small holdings, of their own.motion? are perfectly free to con- stitute such holdings freehold plots. But- we should bear in mind that our small holdings movement is a new movement, and it would be wiser to proceed on safe rather than on ambitious lines.

» — — NOTES AND COMMENTS. -11- "The Times" in a special article dealing with the condition of British crops, states, that, in spite of a late spring and a disap- pointing summer, the year bids fair to prove a fruitful one. -li- The trade figures for July ought to give complete satisfaction to Tariff Reformers, for they show an increase of two and a half millions in the exports of manufactured goods accompanied by a decline of half a million in the import of manufacturers. It is unofficially stated that it has been decided to hold the investiture of the Prince of Wales within his Principality. In view of this, auspicious event, the table we print on another page in this issue, shewing the Welsh descent of the King and the young Prince of 'Wales should prove of great interest. -[[- Earl Carnarvon, at Burton-on-Trent the other day, offered for sale the outlying por- tion of his Bretby estate, consisting of nearly 1,500 acres, and comprising a number of farms, and several small holdings. The earl's reason for the sale, said the auctioneer, was that he favoured the wider dispersal of land. Some of the farms were withdrawn, but the small holdings sold well. How many of the large landowners of Cardiganshire favour "the wider dispersal of land?" Ten thousand Alberta farmers on Friday placed their protests against protection be- fore Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian Pre- mier, who, in reply, declared that he was a free trader of the English school. This fact is an unpleasant one for the self- J appointed pioneers of Preference in Great | Britain, but they may as well face it. The truth is being more fully established every day that Canada does not want Preference. She does not need it. ■ If Few persons, (remarks the "Westminster Gazette") realise the progress that is being made in the process of ridding the country of superflous drink licences. Since 1905 they have been bought out at an average rate of 1,381 a year. In 1909 the probable reduc- tions will be 1,470. There still remain 94,000 on-licences, so that it can scarcely be alleged that the facilities for drinking hare as yet been seriously reduced. Yet there is a striking falling-off in drunkenness and in drinking, if we are to accept the laments of the brewing companies. The decline of 18,000 in the convictions for drunkenness has occurred in; a year of prosperous trade. The falling-off may be diie either to the re- duction of licences, or, as the statisticians suggest, to the heavier duties imposed by the Budget. The cause is not a matter of essential importance, but there can be no question that the lessened drinking is a gain J to national life in almost every direction. I At a meeting of the Assessment Committee of the Lampeter Union on Friday a member called attention to "The recent improve- ments at Derry Ormond Mansion which, he said, had cost about £3,000 two years ago, and had not been assessed" and observed that "if a labourer had made some improve- ment it would have beerf seen to long ago." As the Squire of Derry Ormond is a mem- oer of the Assessment Committee, perhaps he will be good enough to see to this small matter. -lI- The Cardiganshire County Council on Thursday granted en additional £ l,oOO to- wards the construction of the Lampeter to Abertiyron vadway. Mr. J. C. Harford, who gave a detailed statement of the financial position or the undertaking, stated that the l'ailway was now nearly finished. The per- manent rails are now within half a mile of Aberayron, and our local correspondent tells us that the inhabitants of that town have already heard the whistle of the engine with shrill delight. -J,f- Addressing a large gathering of miners at Durham, Mr. Keir Hardie, M.P., said he hoped to see the time come shortly when the organised working class would take its place in the politics of the world by declar- ing that on the day war was declared all tools and wheels would stop in all countries affected by war. Before this year was out, sa;d Mr. Hardie, arrangements would be made for beginning a great campaign against war by getting the working classes to de- clare that the time had come when the great working man Jesus of Nazareth should not have His name and principles disgraced and brought to nought by men murdering each other on the field of battle. A striking and munificent public gift has been made by Sir Ernest Cassel, the well- known financier, as a memorial to King Edward the Seventh. He has created an endowment of R200,000, out of which it is intended that poor English workers of both sexes seeking work in Germany and German workers seeking it in England are to be helped. The Berlin correspondent of the "Morning Leader" explains that the project is described there as not being meant for the poor as such, but for those who are try- ing to make a living and are without the means of finding a suitable opening. It will facilitate the employment of men and women of each nationality in the country of the other, and give them money help where this is necessary. -Jl- The Assessment Committee of the Aberyst- wyth Union on Monday reduced the assess- ments of the licensed houses in. the town by the amount of the increased duties under the Budget. This means, as was pointed out in a previous issue, that the tax imposed by the Budget on the Trade, has been shifted on to the shoulders of the ratepayers in general. This glaring anomaly will, no doubt, soon be put right. Another thing that should be made impossible in connec- tion with assessments is that members of Committees should not be allowed to be present when their affairs are being dis- cussed. If considerations of decency and honour are not strong enough to induce members of assessment committees to re- tire when they are interested parties, the aid of the law should be invoked to prevent their attendance on such occasions. -[[- The Board of Agriculture have issued the report of their representatives on the con- dition of the crops on August 1st, which shows that the wet and cold weather pre- valent last month in the southern part of the kingdom, has been unfavourable to the cereals, but the changes on the month are, for the country as a whole, slight, except in the case of oats. heat and barley are still expected to prove a. little over average in quantity. Speaking generally, the pro- spects of both have deteriorated in the souch and east, and improved in ""the north and in Wales. Oats have suffered generally, and are now considered as hardly up to the average, the decline in this crop having b^eil fairly distributed over the counjtry. Mangolds are also reported unchanged, while turnips and swedes are, very generally, healthy and vigorous, though mostly back- ward. Potatoes have improved considerably, and now appear to be relatively the most promising of all the crops; little disease is reported. Hay is generally abundant, ex- cept in Scotland. Much surprise was caused in Montgomery- shire on Saturday by a letter which Mr. Harrison, Welshpool, has sent to the mem- bers of the Standing Joint Committee, re- signing the appointment of Clerk of the Peace and Clerk of the County Council. This office has been in the same family for the last 63 years. Mr. G. D. Harrison has been Clerk of the Peace for upwards of 26 years, and for ten years previously acted as deputy. He now explains that fully conscious of the heavy and increasing work and res- ponsibilities which the Legislature has im- posed upon county council officials, he feels impelled, to the conclusion that the efficient discharge of these demands require- greater vigour both of mind and body than is at his, command. Mr Harrison's reason for resign- ing is a strong argument i nfavour of the contention that the duties of such important offices as those of clerks of county councils demand the whole time and exclusive ser- vices of their holders. )

THE EISTEDDFOD AND DRINK.
THE EISTEDDFOD AND DRINK. (To the Editor of the "Welsh Gazette.") Sir,—I was greatly surprised to learn from the report of the last Petty Sessions held at Newcastle Emlyn that the bench had decided that ten public houses should be allowed to keep their doors open till midnight on the occasion of the eisteddfod. Now, I should like to ask in all seriousness what need there is at Newcastle Emlyn for additional facili- ties for the sale or drink. And where are our local temperance reformers that they do not educate public opinion on this very im- portant question ? We ask for local option in licensing matters, but I am afraid that public opinion in Newcastle Emlyn and the neighbourhood is so very loose on temper- ance reform, that local option would work but little improvement. The two hours' ex- tension of time on the night of the eistedd- fod should certainly have been resisted by everybody who cares anything for the wel- fare of the young men and women of the town and district. Why do local ministers and their churches not protest against open- ing public houses at midnight P It is clearly their duty to do so. Then againt why does not the eisteddfod committee say it does not want drink sold after the usual hour ? It is claimed that the eisteddfod has for cen- turies been a great factor in the moral and intellectual life of the nation, but if we make every eisteddfod an excuse for selling more drink and for increasing the tempta- tions which beset young people we shall soon have to admit that the eisteddfod is not in our day such a blessing as we fondly imagine it to be. Nobody would dream of asking for an extension of drinking facilities on the occasion of a "Cymanfa bregethu" or even a cymanfa garni. Then why should an ex- emption be made of the eisteddfod? I hope the Standing Joint Committee of the county will take into consideration the wholesale granting of extensions by magis- trates. It is high time this matter was settled in the same way as the granting of occasional licenses was settled some years ag°" CASTELL EMLYN. I Newcastle Emlyn, Aug. 12th, 1910.
Rhydlewis Agricultural Show.
Rhydlewis Agricultural Show. There was a decided improvement m the I fourth annual show of the Rhydlewis and JUistvict Agricultural Society held on Tues- I day, the improvement being most marked in draught and light horses and shorthorn cattle, both of which would have done justice to a much larger show.

Correspondence
Correspondence TREGARON COUNTY SCHOOL. (To the Editor of the "Welsh Gazette.") Sir,-As a constant reader of the "Welsh Gazette," I read the report in your last ^,s meeting of the Tregaron County School Governors, with a feeling of admiration for the remarks of the chairman. i JiS +Vie7 !leas,uS parents of children to nna tliat there is one person in the county who is not afraid to speak his mind in public, and it is to be hoped it will have the effect of rousing the teachers of our county schools to realise their duties to the children placed under their care. Speaking of mediocrities, the Chairman's observations on this point are applicable to the scholars in all our coun:y schools. 'What about the Aberyst wyth County School? How many brilliant students has it turned out? In this school again, the pupils are dabbling in too many subjects, and specialising in nothing, and the result is that parents who can afford to do so send their children to other schools to be educated, and with beneficial results. It seems to be that the chief object of our headceachers is to keep children at the county schools for as many years as possible, in order to get good grants and capitation fees, and this is to the detriment of young persons who have not the advantage of being taught by teachers who infuse life and energy into their work. Let the managers of otlief county schoo's take a lessen from Tregaron, and see that the headteachers and assistant-teachers under their authority show more energy than is at present ex- hibited. AGGRIEVED.
