News & Views ê Sunday Closing Legislation. ,1 I in temperance circles, tnere is a I strong desire that Sunday Closing on reasonable lines should be handled this Session. "Forty Years May Not Be Enough. The Parliament of this country was 40 years purging the British tanil of its protective elements. The United States Congress is at the beginning of a task much greater. Forty years may I not be enough for America. insurance Extension. On Wednesday Mr. Clement Edwards will, under the ten minutes rule, introduce a Bill to extend the Insurance Act by levying an additional Id. on employers, to be devoted to death benefit. A Blow to Protection. I President Wilson has struck the I heaviest blow at Protection which has I been deuvered since Peel established Free Trade in this country nearly seventy years ago. —"Daily News and Leader." "Marconi" To-morrow. The Marconi Committee has ad- journed till Y\ ednesaay, when it will hold its fiftieth sitting. According to present arrangements, Mr. Godfrey Isaacs will be called on Wednesday afternoon WSiat Montenegro Would Take. Montenegro would take compensa- tion (4a2-s Mr. Harold bnder), but it must be territorial, and not financial. bue certalIlly will not be content with the few square miles of iiiarsii and bar- ren mountain which the Powers have contemptuously thrown her. She would, however, accept the sea-coast from Antivari nurthwards. Towards a Free Trade America. I I iiie text or President Wilsons Message on tito tariti, which he wili to-day by a notable innovation read to Congress in person, is to be coniineo to theory. Jtiut tile practice of his party is set out simultaneously in Mr. Underwood's BIll. It is (says the "Daily Chronicle") a bold step towards Free Trade. j Make ths Retreat Easier. Montenegro appeals to the sym- pathy or the world, if Great Britain and Germany can lielp to make her re- treat easier by showing her that she has that sympathy, and by giving it some practical form by way of com- pensation (says a ijiberai contem- porary to-day), they wiii put the crown on an effort for which diplomacy may Wv-ii claim enduring credit. Contrast in Dress. I The woman who has a keen sense of the beautiful cannot iail to appreciate the importance of contrast in dress. In a way, declares a fasliion. correspondent, it is as essential as harmony. For it is possible ior a dress to be perfectly har- monious and yet be dull and uninterest- mg; whereas, if but one happy note ot contrast be introduced, it immediately attains character and may readily reach the beautiful. The Education Bill. The "innes Parliamentary corres- pondent says that tnere was still un- certainty in Minic serial circles on the best educational policy when .Lord Hal- dane made a ratner unexpected contri- bution to the subject at Manchester eariy in January. This *>as the germ of the new policy which is now being Je I vised by a committee 01 the Cabinet,l, and it includes tne remedying of .Non- conformist gnevanoes as Hlcidental in a largo ?j?d comprehensive -Eill, which ?n Government would hope to p&ss witiiu>Jt the aid of the Parliament Act. The Position of Wheat. I A generation has passed since wheat growing occupied the portion of a special xeature in cur farming. A feeling is gaining grouna (nays the agricultural correspondent of the "limes") that it would be an advantage for the industry and true nation if wheat could be restored to its former pre- eminence. That it would be a good thing lor the country to grow a larger proportion or its foodstuffs at home goes without saying, but whether there would be corresponding benefit to the occupiers of the soil would depend upon the iorill the revived pursuit assumed.

COLLEGTOR GHAHGEP. RAILWAY CASE HEARD AT SWANSEA POLLE COURT. At Swansea Police Court to-day, Win. Scouriield, a ticket collector answered to charges as follows:—Em- bezzling the sum of 9s. 9!d" the monies of the G. W Railway Co.; falsi- fying an entry on an excess pad; em- bezzling tile sum of 16s. 2td.; falsify- ing an entry on 4n excess pad; em- bezzline two sums Amounting to 7s. 4d, the monies of the G. W. Kaiiway Co.; failsnying an entry on an excess pad. The offences are alleged to have been committed on January 15th, 16th, and 17th, and the case I had been adjourned a week ago Mr, Rupert Lewis prosecuted on be- half of the Great Western Railway Co., and Air. J. Evan Rowlands appeared for the defence. Mr. Hupert Lewis said the defendant was a collector, and it was his duty to issue tickets from an excess pad at the High-street G.VV.R. Co. Mr. Lewis al- luded to the method of entering the amounts received. The charges had arisen at the instance of the Auditor of Accounts at Paddmgton. Mr. Lewis explained that the pads acd the dupli- cates portion went to the Audit Othces at Paddington. The prosecution were taking th"ee cases as examples of the irregularities, but they could pro- ceed on others. The three in- stances taken were:—Carbon copy, Swansea to Paddmgton, Ids. o £ d. excess pad, Swansea to Cockett, 3d.; carbon copy, Swansea to Cardiff, 3s. 93d.; excess pad, Swansea to Landore, lid.; carbon copy, Swansea to Castle Cary, 10s.; excess pad, Swansea to Liansamlet, 3id. The copy was given to the traveller, and the pad with the carbon copy on it given in at the office. John Henry Bowen, a Swansea book- ing oeik, questioned by Mr. Rowlands, said no one wouid get the defendant's pad unless he was absent from duty. Charles William Mpor (London), &aid it was his duty to compare the excess notes with the money handed in and to see if they agreed. Finding that in these instances they did not, he re- ported the matter. Thomas Davies said he had seen the defendant and shown him three carbon copies of excess entries. He was asked for an explanation. He was also shown the top copies in the excess pads with the corresponding numbers. He identi- fied the pad as his, but was not cau- tioned. Lapse of Memory." I It must have been ctue to a lapse ot memory. I iiiun have been insane," said the defendant, and he was dis- missed. "Don't dismiss me for the sake of my wife. Make me a crossing- keeper at 14s. a week, but don't dis- miss me," the witness stated tnat de- fendant had said to John Rees (divisionid superintendent) in his pre- sence, when be was dismissed. Questioned, by Mr. Rowlands, witness said he had come down to Swansea in order to inquire into this case, an it was unique. Mr. Rowlands said the summons was irregular, and tha.t no jury could con- victi on such slender evidence. The case had been treated as a matter of ac- count. On the three charges taken the de- fendant was committed to Quarter Ses- sions. He pleaded not guilty. Baal "a. allowed. The other charges were then gone into. Seourfield was committed to take his trial at the Quarter Sessions, bail being allowed, on the three changes' of falsifi- cation Qi accuoiwti*.
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION.
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION. To the Editor. O- ..t 1 I- :Dir,-ADOU,t HS months ago the Pro- portional Representation Society made an appeal through the press for finan- cial support. It asked for fired contri- butions for three years to enable it to carry on a continuous compaign. A con- siderable number of promises, amount- ing in all to £ 1,200 were received, and the total yearly income of the Society, which had previously been less than £ 700, was raised to £2,000, The first of the three years' campaign thus supported has resulted in a very marked advance, and the parliamentary work of the society has been crowned with notable successes. The House of Commons has accepted proportional re- presentation as the method. of electing the proposed Irish Senate, and, what is of greater importance, has by 311 votes to 81, adopted the same method for a number or constituencies for the pro- posed Irish House of Commons. Pro- portional representation can no longer be called a mere fad." The progress thus made is most re- markable, but the demands upon the energies of the society multiply with ita successes. We have done much. but the work pressing to be done increases con- tinuously. lie resources of staff and offices are overtaxed, and are inadequate. Appeals come in from all quarters for information, for advice, and for assist- ance. Correspondence is active and in- cessant with the many parts of the Brit- ish Empire where similar movements are on foot and also with foreiga countries, notably with France. Most important of all, the Parliament- ary work at home cannot be overtaken. A wide measure of electoral reform, in- cluding a redistribution of seats is among the declared objects of the pre- sent Government. When tnat comes proportional representation will assert itself as inevitably as it has done in the Home Rule Bill. It will be realised therefore how our labours are growing. Our organisation must be increased and further funds are essential if the society is to be rendered competent to deal with the work before it. We ask those who de- sire the success of our movement to lend their aid. A large increase of our in- come is indispensable. Subscriptions may be sent to the Rt. Hon. Lord Courtney of Penwith, 15, Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, S.W., or to the hon. treasurer, Proportional Represen- tation Society. 179, St. Stephen's House, Westminster, S.W. AVEBUBY, President.

THE HOUSES ON I. TOWN HilL.…
=_=-==== THE HOUSES ON TOWN HILL. (Continue fram Page 1.) iiviii. Some people talk about our failure at Baptist Well, that wa.s our I hrst attempt." An Acute Problem. Of course you agree that the hous- ing probiein in Swansea is a very acute cneh" Not only at Swansea, but all over the country, 'lake us herein Swansea. We are woring at the wrong end. We have open air schools for our children, and we send them back after school to those insanitary hovels. Tiiat's all I can call them. W hat we want to do is to start with the homes. I think that whe/e people can afford to pay rent they should do so: but take the case of an old couple who cannot pay a large rent. I trunk we should build suit- able cottages, and it we make a loss on the year, we should go to the powers that be and toil them e have done what you want us to. We have re- moved these people from insanitary dwellings, give us a grant towards the and 1 feel certain the Board would uc. so." "But you are of opinion that suit- able houses can be buut on Town Hill r" Fenygraig Quarry. "Certainly they can with the facili- ties we have at our disposal. You will remember we sent a deputation to the Forest of Dean to study the question' of developing our quarries, and we have spent a lot of money giving the unemployed work in these quarries. Now. on Town Hill we have the Peny- graig Quarry within a stone's-throw of the sites. Why don't we utilise that? If we are not going to make use of our quarries, all the money we have spent has been wasted. Is it suitable stoner Certainly it is, and it would be better than building these houses of brick. Here we have an immediate order for 50 houses and 250 to follow. That is 300. Wouldn't that go some way to pay for the expense we have gone to over these quarries? "Then what price rent do you think would be suitable? I think from 5s. to 6s. 6d., and then we would be within the Act." I Abolition of Ground Rent. J n view of the opinions of Aldermen Merrells and Payne, it is interesting to note that Alderman Merrells' suggestion would mean the abolition of a ground rent.. Mr. Albert Jenkins, the Borough Estate Agent, recently reported that the minimum ground rent, including the cost of roads and sewers and their maintenance would be about £ 22 14s., and, on the computation that has been made of 30s. for roads and sewers, that would work out at 1;1 4s. ground rent for twelve houses to the acre. In the majority of cases this cost, were Alder- man Merrells' suggestion carried, would fall on the Corporation.
