I MR. WORRELL S DILEMMA! MORE CASES THAN HE CAN POSSIBLY DEAL WITH. WILL THE EYE SPECIALIST STAY ANOTHER WEEK? It may be because a big London Special- ist does not often visit Swansea, or per- haps it is owing to the remarkable per- sonal magnetism of the man himself, but the fact is clear to all that Mr. Worrell. tho famous sight testing expert, is the man of the moment in Swansea. So enthusiastic has been his reception, so great has been fche demand for his services, that last night-with only two days of the week left, he confessed that he could not possibly deal with all the cases requiring his attention. The one question now is, Can he be persuaded to stay another week, or are hundreds of Swaneea people to be disappointed? Mr. Worrell looked, I thought, a trifle weary last night. The continual strain is beginning to tell. But there is such a fund of energy and vitality in his nature, and he displays such astonishing keenness in his work, that his ardour remains un abated. I hardly know what to say," he ad- mitted. 1 am bound to pass over some of my applicants. It is uot as if by working quicker or harder I could k^lR- Blatters. The work caunot be hurried. Eaet test must. be taken quietly and patiently just as if there were no others waiting. That I am amaned and* astonished at the way I Swansea has accepted my offer goes with- out saying. It grieves me to have to dis- appoint a single person, but I really Jo not see a way out of it! There is one way out of it, Mr. Wor- rell," I suggested. Why not stay an- other week ?" "WILL HE STAY?" That./ said the great man, will re- quire serious consideration. It is an alto- gether unlocked for situation, and I confess I was not prepared for it. My arrangements are mado for months ahead, and it woulrl 1),e a serious matter to alter them. But the urgency of the case has not escaped me. As I say, I will tbink it over seriously, but really I cannot hold out any hopes at present." Those whose eyes are in any way troublesome are advised to be at THE CENTRAL HALL, Orchard Street, Swansea. early to-day. It is the only way of ensur- iug a consultation with Mr. Worrell. He will give you the best of advice free of charge, and you will have an opportunity of purchasing for about 3s. beautifully made lenses, the quality and workman- ship of which are of the very best. Why not go there now? There is no time like the present. Mr. Worrell's hours of consultation are from 10 to 1 and 2 to 7. Special appoint- ments can be made.

THE DRIVE TO HOME RULE.-
THE DRIVE TO HOME RULE. The Llartdrindod Conference of s comic memory has, we suppose, gone on its way towards the forget- fulness which overtakes all projects foolishly conceived; but though w-3 hear little more about it-Pnd at least one of the Swansea nominees to the ready-made executive is un, willing to act—we have not finished with Home Rule for Wales. It ? one of the most extraordinary de- velopment's of ollr own domestic life within the United Kingdom, and the larger span of empire rule, that an academic demand put forward occasionally over many veal's by ad- vanced political thinkers- in Wales, is brought within our grasp nob by the force of public opinion from the inside, but by a combination of cir- cumstances operating outside our- selves. There is not now, and there hu not been since the Cymru Fydd days, a popular agitation for sell- government in Wales. Our poli- tical energies were exhausted in the fight for Disestablishment, and be- fore this battle had concluded the war was upon us. Home Rule is a comparatively new question. And it is not an easy question to solve. The Irish problem, despite the Ulster difficulty, is compara- tively simple, from an administra- tive point of view, when put up ugainst the Welsh. The lines of demarcation between Bnglund and Wales are not clean exit; we have no St. George's Channel between us, only H..Dyke which is to-day a curiosity visited by the historian I nnd the holifUy-rtial'tr. We are bijund to England by n thousand ties that will be difficult to sever, j We are not sugge&tmg these diffi- lenities ot cooling enthusiasm for tue rause of Home 1 Hule, but in ordei to secure the dts- passiouate con.-jidjn'al.ion the piæi- it ion thr.t bf csseotml if we arej I" T W 4 J affairs with "success. Llandrindod ¡ conferences and the lite can poetise about our natioiial unity, our cap- acity for greatness, our idealism. I Taking these things as read—and we have talked of them long enough-we must now become con. structive.' Home Rule, at its core, is a very matter-of-fact business. Whilst our poets climb to the stars, whilst our orators rhapsodise in the hwyl, more pract-ical minds will have to see into such matters as the £ s. d. of division, questions cf police, taxes, public health, and a dozen and more other unromantic but important matters. We cannot leave the question yjitil after the war," for there is much to be done eveIL now to pre- pare Wales for the ine-vitable changes in government in that happy time. Irish policy may pro- foundly affect Welsh life. Devolu- tion all round may yet be the solu- tion of a trouble that has broken more political careers than any we have ever known since the days of Elizabeth and the Pale. But there is another way of approach to Welsh Home Rule. Lord Brassey, speak- ing at the Royal Colonial Institute on Wednesday—to a resolution urg- ing the separation of the control of Imperial matters from that of the domestic affairs of the Mother- country, and expressing the view that the settlement of the future coaistitutkai of the United King- dom was an essential preliminary to the discussion of the future govern- ment of the Empire &t the special Imperial Conference which was to be summoned at the conclusion --kf the war—said that the system under which the Empire was governed was a menace to its future I permanenoe. The field which they had to survey was so vast that it was impossible for any body of legislators or any Government to give sufficient attention to all the matters which came before them. Until the Mothcr-couiitry had solved the Home Rule question in some way or other, it was impossible effectively to discuss what precise form the future government of the Empire was to take. Let our readers mark well the terms of the resolution, noting that they are in accord with the thought of those who are studying this prob- lem of Empire government. The settlement of the future constitu- tion of the United Kingdom is "an essential preliminary to the dis- cussion of the future government of the Empire at the special Imperial Conference which is to be sum- moned at the conclusion of the war. That is to say, we ought to have our plans of home governm,&nt-f(-)r the control of domestic affairs as distinct from Imperial matters- ready before the great Empire con- ference meets. This, it seems to us, 13 an effective answer to the people who want to put off con- sideration of Welsh Home Rule until the conclusion of the war. At the end of the war we shall have to build an imperial governing edifice that will fit this wonderful empire of ours. Great Britain will call her children, by blood and adoption into real counsel. Into their hands will go all these questions of imperial concern which we have too long monopolised within these islands of the north. Ireland, we believe, will have had the desire of her heart granted her even before this empire council meets. Scotland will want to follow in her steps. Will Wales be satisfied as part of an England and Wales parliament for domestic affairs? Surely not. We are glad to think that con- structive minds are at work, in Wales and out of it, on this ques- tion. The Welsh members were taboo to Llandrindod, but they are devising machinery for the investi- gation of the practical side of Devo- lution. There are a hundred diffi- culties to overcome. The objec- tions to the separate Welsh In- surance Commission objections urged by good nationalists—the break-down of the Nation a Council of Education 6heme--the. greedy demand made by Mr. E. T. John yesterday at the Liberal members' meeting that Wales should have larger powers than those accorded in the Irish Bill—-indicate the dangers that will meet us on the path to local government. Intri- cate matters are involved and jn some departments of public life J may be found that separation will bring weakness and no compensat- ing gains. Welsh Home Rule has to be considered by calm heads, and the spirit of chauvinism must be exorcised if we are to make working plans. Easy enough indeed to cry Home Rule for ever! Hard enough to devise means of bringing it into effect and at the same time retain- ing those advantages of association with England which only the foolish will depreciate.
MUMBLES COUNCIL CLERK.
MUMBLES COUNCIL CLERK. Resignation of Mr. J. H. Robinson. At a special meeting of the Oyster- tVouth Urban District Council on Thurs- day, Councillor John Harris presiding, Mr. J. H. Robinson tendered his resigna- tion as clerjc to the Council, he having ao- cepted an appointment as secretary to a largo firm doing business in South Wales and the West of England. The resigna- tion. wis accepted with regret. Mr. Robinson was appointed clerk to the Mumbles Council in 1900, after having acted as assistant to the late Mr. T. W. James ifl the same capacity for seven vcare. During the 25 years Mr. Robinson lias been associated with the local autho- rity lie has discharged his duties with efficiency. Mr. Robinson, returning thanks to the m-f-inters for their kiud wo-mie, said be would be pleaded to render any assistance It) bis -or wben required, ae he did Dot propose leaving the district for some I time. The appointment of his succeesor will j probably be made at a special meeting ¡ of the Counoil on Tuesday next.

He attributed it to the caste system, which has crushed out the natural buoyancy of child life. U What joB the coll-eotion for?" aeked the chairman at the annual meeting of the Sunday School Union.
