SOUTH VALES I NOTES AND COMMENTS TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1910. The Swansea Welsh Society on Monday evening achieved the most noteworthy and conspicuous success of its career. It w; doubtful if even those whose unselfish la-bovir of love was responsible for a demon- stration of thrilling charm to the Cymric j heart, fully realised the full measure of their accomplishment—realised all the pos- sibilities opened out by a happy idea, most happily carried out. For they have blazed a trail which, followed with courage and patience., is capable of leading to a. goal com f pact with beneficial consequences to Wales and the Welsh. There is in this movement a. germ the evolution of which may power- fully influence Welsh Nationalism, giving it a new and upward dh"ectiom, aijd focussing the present somewhat disintegrated patriotic., impulses upon a common point, a, common purpose, concerned primarily with the fu- ture ot the race, but deriving colour, inspir- 11 ation and part of its impetus from the past. For the hour the festival of song might! seem to mean no more than is imported by the simple fact that a crowded audience, overwhelmingly Cymric in composition and sentiment, gathered to listen to the old bal-, lads of Gwalia being most musically trilled by a great choir of little lads and lasses, who had not only the inherited capacity for giving full valuei to the words of a language which, despite its natural euphony, prmentr, I almost unconque-rable difficulties to alien tongues, but also the inborn warmth and passion of the Oelt for vocalisation* Solos, duetts, pemllion sung to the mellow music of the harp, short addresses, all conforming to the requirements of a festival—literally a fea.st-on the eve of St. David's Day, these, collectively, provided a programme appro- priate and pleasing. But unless we misin- terpret the occasion, there was much more than- an entertainment in the event, and move er during rewilts axe to follow than the mere sense of pleasure, fading away nearly as quicLly as the rcmeirbrance of the cause. I The truth Is these pioneers are building far better than they know. In the exten- sion of the knowledge of the Cymric lan- guage, especially amongst the youmg, and the inculcation and the encouragement of pro-Welsh sentiments, the Welsh Society is marching over a well-trodden path. Lec. tures and dinners and classes for the teach- ing nf the language are mean* to an; end by this time too familiar to captivate the imagination, 100 rudimentary and obvious to open up any alluring vista. But the lim- itations which can be ascribed to these have no application to the new agencies of which Monday evening's demonstration was merely the forerunner. In the first place it seem a. if th. happy thought had flashed upon the mind of some member of the Welsh Society that the wisdom em- e, in tbe famous saying of Fletcher of Salt'Ou;n, Let me make the songs of a country; let who will make it,, la,,ws," had not passed away in the ccmrm of the cen- uries but has still a face value, especially in Wales, the home of a fragment of a once great race whose trials and tribulations in bygono ages have their echo in the sweet sadness, the underlying tender melancholy of its folk songs. Set almost invariably in the minor key, like the music of the Jewish siaves as they sat by the waters of Babylon, hey seem emanations of the soul-suffering of 3.1 race the vaguely articulated expression of humiliations suffered, hardships endured, griefs fougfet against in forgotten times. e old folk-songs of a people are vocal relics of experiences too remote to be re- corded on the tablets of history they per- sist in virtue of the mysterious law which passes on irom generation to generation, usages, beliefs, tendencies, having their or- igin in the distant past. It is good and' truly rational work to keep alive the old ballade to refresh a materialistic generation with the poetical inspiration, the pensive sweetness of the offsprings of an intense musical fervour, which in by-gone ages sought this mode of expression. It is poesible, in view of Mon- day evening's triumph, to conceive of development on thit; .side and that; the Education Authority, utilising its compre- hensive powers to make St. David's Day the reddest of red-letter days in the borough schools, by officially encouraging the teachers to emulation in devising means for helping adong the Cymric remaissanoe in the schools amongst the men and women of the future the Welsh Society, as guide and stimulant, a constant friend in Jhe background, the outcome of cooperation in Swansea so dazzlingly successful as to compel imitation tisrougbowt all Wefeh Wades. The true metropolis of the Cyiary is clearly cailed upon to give this lead. And out of such a, movement, modestly begun, may evolve a truer and more unifying conception of nationalism. In an adjoining island an "AAl-Ikiedaad paarty" aims at bring-1 ing together the members of every sect and party, and to bury deep out of sight, when the national interests aire involved, the distinctions that divide and eanbat/faer. Here the soil is more favourable for such an "entente cordiale"—there are no implacable vendettas, the growth of centuries, to com- bat. But the chief need at the outset is to keep out the poisonous virus of pairty politics, and forget the religious differences that break up the Welsh people. However much we may choose, with or with- out provocation, to ignore it, the truth nevertheless is that Conservatism, Liberal- ism and Socialism represent varying phases of political thought, absolutely divorced from true nationalism just as denominational distinctions are afeo outede its purview. An "all Welsh" movement, devoted to resea.rch into the past of the Cymry aoid the con- servation of aJl that is good in it, supple- mented with the wise direction of the generation springing up, and the diversion of its thoughts and activities into beneficial channels, would work untold good for WaJefi. The vineyards are many, and the labourers few. But a. bountiful harvest awaits the earnest effort made in the right way.

S!ing!1.e Chamber Government in effoot- such ia the substance of the Premier's pro rouncement in the House of Oommone on Monday that hiss proposals for deal- ing with the House of Lords were to be as follows: —The "veto" on finance to be abolished; the will '11. of the House of Commons to prevail within a single Parliament; the democratisation 01* t.he Upper Chamber to follow subse- quently. "Subsequently!" the House could he staffed with the inmates of a casual ward or a chance collection of hunger- marchers, for all- the useful purpose it would serve in the State. Mr. Redmond urged the impossible demand that tfie Premier should adhere to his Albert Hal policy; to ineiet upon guarantees for which he would j have no right to aslc, and the Scvereugn I would have no right to concede. But the crisis th-ue suddenly brought about had been robbed of its. open terrors for the Govern- ment and its secret terrors for other parties Ii bv the intimation of the Conserva- tives earlier in the day that they would take no active steps to secure the defeat of the Government; that they would abstain from voting, or even, if necessary, support t.he Government in their plan of action. Mon- day cfea-red away much of the mists over- hanging the crisis. Sunlight broke through a*. fe^t; the Government pledged itself offi- cially to introduce Single Chamber Govern- ment it threw down on the table its plan of campaign. The resolutions are to be sent up to the Lords; no time is to be wasted apon the passage of BiHs. Their fate ia foreshadowed. The SDeech was, in other words, the intimation of a General Election in summer or eafly autumn. It was a con- fession that this ghost of a Government had no mandate and no power to strive seriously to carry its wishes; a confession that its true function was to regularise the [ financial situation and give both parties breathing space in which they oould formu- Uate their plans, the Liberate for the destruc- tion, and the for the reform and strengthening of the Upper Chamber. 1- 1 Here at a fatap we strike across ,a diffi- culty, extreme to the verge of utter impracti- oability, of securing a single verdict upon a single Ü:.sue. A House of Lords election it is impossible to conceive. Granted the Con- servatives won on a single-issue fight, could they consider it as a mandate for the intro- duction of Tariff Reform? Did the Liberal's win, could they consider it a mandate for the •introduction of sweeping schemes of innova- tion and experiment with* the v§ry funda- mentals of the national v.7 ell-being? It is the difficulty upon which Mr. Balfour insisted in his first speech in the new Parliament. It may be taken veTy readily, and need not be postulated for the sake of argument alone, that very man-y people would vote for t.he stability and security which only a. real Second Chamber can confer, but would re- eent the implication that their vote could be used for Tariff Reform. It is the same factor which paralyses the present Govern- ment. Many of its seats were won upon the Budget; many were retained by the defend- ers of Free- Trade; and some upon the veto, though we have had Liberal confessions that in many districts their speakers discovered it just a waste of time to argue at all upon the Constitutional issue. The electorate would listen to nothing but the merits of Tariff Reform and Free Trade. An honest Government which had secured its majority subsequently to a House of Lords election could not do otherwise than dissolve imme- diately it had completed its work of reform- ing the Second Chamber or gagging and binding it. But this situation wooùd be in- toksrable. I Probably unconquerable necessity will ul- timately* thfruat this single issue into the background and the next election will resolve itself into a party struggle upon the ortho- dox lines and with the orthodox programmes. The House of Lords itself is (little more than the symbol of the actual conflict. The choice is between two poMoiee, one of the consolidation and strengthening of the coun- try, the other a policy which will transform the business of conducting the Empire into the business of the pacification of factions and faddisto, the bargaining for power and votes, the framing of the most flashily mere- tricious of baits for the electorate and for the supreme folly of a despotism of the de- mcarajqy, despite alll teaching that bids us learn that perfection is still to be sought, tha.t people are as fallibfle as princes, that the orroiB, the faNnjtga, and temerities of the unit are to be discovered also in the mass, that the crowd is as human in its non- immunity from human infirmftriee as the solitary man.

The many friends of Mr. Arthur Howel Crapper, 25, St. Heien's-road, Swansea, will be pleased to hear that he obtained a mas- ter's certificate (upon his first attempt) at the Board of Trade examination of masters and mates held in this port last week. He was fully prepared by Garpt. Dixon, High- street, Swansea. 766f.5-1

f EX-SOLDIER HANGED FOR THE MURDER OF SWEETHEART. George Henry Perry (27), ex-soldier, was executed at Pentonville on Tuesday morn- ng for the mwrder of bis sweetheart, Annie Covell, at Ealing. Perry, incensed at not being invited to a wedding at which the girl acted as brides- maid, fatally attacked her with a knife.

SWANSEA WEDDING. MR. WALTER SHORT AND MISS OLIVE ROBERTS. The wedding took place at Mount Pleasant Chapel, Swansea-, on Monday, of Mr. Walter Short (iof Messrs. Davies and Short, -hosiers, High-street) and Miss Olive Roberts, 5, Brunswick-pliace, third daughter of Mr. G. Roberts, carver and gilder, Oxford-street. The bride was accompanied by two brides- maids. Mr. Tudor Austin, supported by Mr. Charles Davies, was best man. Rev. J. E. Maunder (pastor) officiated, amd Mr. David Thomas presided at the organ. After the wedding breakfast, at the resi- dence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Short 'left for Bournemouth. There were many presents.

SALOON TO SWANSEA. CARDIFF ELECTION ECHO. At the close of a lectisre a.t Cardiff Liberal Clulb on Sunday, Mr. H. C. Allgood, the Liberal agent, was aaked by one of the members why it was that Lord Niman Stuart was able to send a saloon carriage to Swansea to fetch voters to poll at Cardiff in the recent election, while he (Mr. All- good) refused to do likewise. Mr. Ailgood replied that. assuming the facts were true, as stated, they could bring a.n action against Lord Ninian, and one of the penalties would be that he would be unable' to stand for Cardiff for seven years. The Conservative agents of Lord Ninian, however, know nothing about the saloon at all.

SOCIALIST S RIGHT TO ARGUE. BIT NOT TO TRESPASS: YSTRAD- GYNLAIS CASE. At Ystradgynlaii, on Monday, John Lewis Rets, Abercrave, ex-student of Ruskin Col- lege, and a Socialist- speaker, was summoned for trespassing on the Neath and Brecon Railway. W. Cartwright, Gilfrew, ticket-collector, said he caught defendant getting over a fence. He had not a pass. Defendant be- came abusive and threatening. He and Sergt. Morgan turned defendant back, but they faw defendant again cross the line. Clerk: Did you speak to him again?— No, he ran across a tield and we couldn't catch him. (Laughter.) Defendant denied that he had used bad language all he said was they would soon have to go around in aeroplanes! (Laugh- ter.) belgt. Morgan said when witness Cart- wright askt'd defendant for his name and addiess he replied, I don't see whv 1 should give my name and address." Cart- wright said he was an official of the Neath and Brecon line. I won't give you my name said defendant, and went to- waids Cartwright in a threatening attitude. Defendant (excitedly): I can't stand this, your Worships; let's have the truth. Witness said he told defendant he would have to lock him up if he did not give his name and address. Then he gave it. Defendant said that he was not in the habit of swearing, and did not do so on this occasion. He only exercised his natural right of arguing, even wit.h a policeman. The colliers of Waunelawdd paid Is. a year to the occupier of Waunelawdd Farm, and j he understood that gave him permission to cross the line. The "summons had been taken out of spite. A fine of £1 and costs was imposed. I Defendant: Thank you, sir. I
