MR. VAUGHAN DAVIES. THE Cardiganshire Conservatives have meanly and dishonestly tried to represent this paper as opposed to Mr VAUGHAX DAVIES, the Liberal candidate, and have quoted from an article which we wrote eleven years ago. We loyally accepted him when the Liberals of the county elected him, and we assert without reservation or qualification of any kind whatever that he has, in cur opinion, amply justified their choice and fully de- serves a renewal of their confidence which we hope and believe he will receive to-day at the polls.

WEST BRISTOL LIBERAL WOMEN Mr. T. J. LENNARD, Liberal, and his sup. porters played what we deem to be a low game in reference to the West Bristol Women's Liberal Association and the enfranchisement of women. He has been beaten by his Conservative opponent by 365 votes. If he had been loyal to the Liberal women we believe he would have won easily. Liberalism can do without him and wq look upon his defeat as the greatest victory women have achieved for many a long year. The women of West Bristol have been true to themselves and hve vindicated their power in a way that will be felt by women throughout the length and breadth of the United King- dom. It is a most inspiriting fact that Mr 1. J. LENNARD has been beaten notwith- standing the great wave of Liberal enthu. siasm that is passing over the oonstituen- cies and has made itself strongly felt in Bristol. The Liberal women of West Bustol will come to their own again and the next Liberal candidate wrilli not, we imagine, play fast and loose with women's enfranchisement. Mr. T. J. LENNARD'S defeat is, in our opinion, one of the great- est Liberal victories of the day although a Conservative retains the seat.

I THE PROGRESS OF THE ELECTION. IT is now absolutely certain that the Liberal Government will have a substan- tial majority. How great that majority will be it is impossible to say, but there can be no shadow of doubt that the people are thoroughly sick of Mr. CHAMBERLAIN'S protection, of war, of waste, of Chinese labour—slavery—and, in Wales, of Church of England ascendancy. Every day the record of Radical victories is al- most incredible. The great trust that is being put in the Liberal Government is a very grave matter. After the victories will come the stupendous responsibility of iegislation. Will it be met adequately? Will the House of Commons, as under the late Government, dribble and dribble until August and then hurriedly pass one or, two measures, or will the work be grap- pled with at the start? We shall see. It is as yet too early to count gains or to draw final conclusions. We are in the very midst of the battle. Victory is, so far, with Liberalism in a measure which shows how the people are always forming judgments and are not deceived by clap- trap. There is another important thing made evident by the Liberal victories, namely, that popular freedom is the great safe- guard of national existence. The people are able to speak at the polling booths and they are speaking in ways that save these nations from disaster. After all, Liberalism is the greatest of Conserva-j tive forces. We trust that everywhere Liberals will' take their victories caknlv and will re- member that those who differ from them are also citizens. Let there be no offen- sive exultation. It seems as if the elec- tion of 1906 was likely to be the most remarkable for two hundred years. This election compensates for many dreary days of despondency.

GAS AT ABERYSTWYTH. THE project is dead for purchasing the Aberystwyth Gas Works by compulsion; and paying for it any price, however ex- orbitant, that might be fixed by an arbi- trator together with the heavy costs of ■ arbitration. This is satisfactory, and the] inhabitants, together with the committee J of five ratepayers, are to be heartily con- gratulated. The wise decision of the j ratepayers against oompulsory purchase: does not mean, however, that they are! averse to purchasing the Gas Works. We hold that at a reasonable nrice, and after careful investigation as to structures, plant, capital, and revenue, and with the full knowledge and approval of the mem- bers of the Council, it would be wise to buy. At Tuesday's meeting of the Council, Mr. C. M. WILLIAMS, with curious un- consciousness that he was playing into the hands of those opposed to compulsory purchase, read an old speech delivered in the Council by Mr GIBSON in favour of purchase. The speech is a good one and puts the case very well, but however good the speeches delivered at the Coun- cil may be it is somewhat rough upon the silent members that they should have to h be listened to twice over. We are not going to try to fathom Mr C. M. WIL- LIAMS'S reasons for reproducing that speech. He probably thinks there is something in it which nobody can see ex. cept himself. All that the repetition of it proves, as far as Mr. GIBSON is concerned, is that he was in favour of purchasing the Gas Works. He is still in favour of purchasing the Gas Works. Very well, then, where is Mr C. M. WILLIAMS? We do not know, except that he is opposed to Mr. GIBSON, and with astounding lack of mental penetration, thinks that the speech he read serves in some way that opposition. He is pursued by extracts." The town would be wise to purchase all the local means for lighting, heating, and motive power subject to conditions. No- thing that has been done by the ratepayers prevents or hinders this from being still accomplished. The majority of the Council unwisely resolved some time ago that they did not want to know the information which was placed before a committee. It is well and inevitable that small committees should be appointed to make investigations, to pre- pare reports, to take evidence, and to do other things, but we contend that it is utterly wrong and would tend to municipal ruin if the majority of the Council should drift into great works while they remain in ignorance. We could have understood the representatives of the ratepayers act. ing without giving the whole bqdy of rate- payers the full information on which they acted, for they are the people's represen, tatives, but that a great undertaking of this kind should be taken over with eleven of the sixteen members of the Council in ignorance is so utterly ridiculous and dan- l gerous that it is difficult to believe the proposal was ever made and acted upon. The ratepayers saw both the danger and the absurdity of this position and have expressed their opinion. A great measure of the Council's wrong position in reference to the Gas Works is due to the fact that there are individuals in the Town Council—-a They "—an Old Gang "-who impertinently presume to sit in judgment on the fitness or otherwise of certain re- presentatives of the ratepayers to be entrusted with the affairs of the town. Nobody in the Council has this right. The members are equal, and if the ratepayers elect anyone who is unworthy, the rate- payers themselves must take the conse- quences. It is not for any members of the Council, however confident of their own superiority, to sit in judgment upon the other members. There has been a great deal too much "They in the A her. ystwyth Town Council. There is one other point that is of im- portance, namely, the attitude of the ( Company. It is said that the shareholders do not wish to sell. It is also said that they are anxious to sell. The course for the Company to take is not for either the Council or the ratepayers to decide, but it is quite clear that if the shareholders are willing to sell they will have to say so. The march of science is not towards greater profit in gas works. At any rate, time is on the side of delay as far as the ratepayers are concerned. The way is now open for further development.

POOR LAW REFORM. (No 7.) THAT the problems of poverty are compli- cated will doubtless be frankly admitted but, perhaps, our readers will not so frankly admit that it is not considered to be the duty of Boards of Guardians to attempt to solve those problems, or even to understand them, but rather to evade them and to temporise with them. The duty of Boards of Guardians is said to be to relieve destitution and their chief aims in discharging this duty are, first, not to increase pauperism, and, second, o avo d any expenditure that is not absolutely R h,ether thi* definition of the duty of Boards of Guardians is wide enougn, and how destitution is to be de- fined, are questions which we do not now propose to discuss.

The peüDle demand tha It and how shall it be done? Kiblic feef mg is no longer content that the old should be allowed to starve simply be cause they refuse to be cast into\L.i, houses where all sorts of human failures and misfits are crowded together—-th* profane, the idiotic, the epileptic, the thriftless, and the obscene. What is needed first of all in Poor Law reform is the elimination from the lower ranks of the people of those permanent cases which are for ever recurring and which ought not to have to be discussed over and over again hundreds of thou- sands of times as at present. Take, for instance, the epileptic. There ought to be some place, not a workhouse, to which this sort of case could be sent once for all. The patient might be able to earn his living under direction. The sort of colony to which he is sent should be more in the nature of a village than a hospital. Poor people over sixty or sixty-five years of age ought to be provided for on the mere ground of age if they apply for relief and make the plea of poverty. There ought to be no argument about their claim, but if it is found to be an unfounded claim then there ought to be severe penalities for fraud. The aged poor should be relieved outside the work- house. Destitute children are another class about whom there should be no argu- ment. They should be relieved, not in workhouses, and every possible care should be taken to prevent the taint of pauperism being acquired. Methods of dealing with children are difficult, but they ought to be kept absolutely clear of workhouses, where all sorts of dissolute, afflicted, and incapable people are gathered together. There is, again, the problem of illegitimate children and their mothers. This is a subject that has never been dealt with thoroughly and that we do not propose to discuss, as it does not at present seriously affect pauperism. Imbeciles, and the mentally deficient, who can hardly be classed as imbecile, but who are nevertheless unable to earn their living without direction, ought to be sent without question to some sort of labour colony and should be treated apart from the sane. If the young, the old, the imbecile, the physically and mentally incapable, and the sick were provided for bv the grading of workhouses, the establishment of labour colonies, out-reiief, and boarding, out, then the way would be cleared for dealing effectively with drunkards, work- shies, imposters, vagrants, criminals, the victims of disasters, epidemics, and fluc- tuations in trade. If the charitably-disposed were once assured that the deserving were provided for without undue degradation or humiliation under the Poor Laws by Boards of Guardians, there Avould be a practical cessation of that demoralising charity which now serves the purpose of the very lowest and most undeserving section of the people. The able-bodied skulker would then be unable to batten on the charitable, and the story of the criminal who excused his wrong-doing on the ground that he could not obtain work would receive no credence. It is the fear of the kind-hearted that applicants for charity may have been wrongly dealt with under defective Poor Laws ineffi- ciently administered that brings about the great waste which the Charity Organisa. tion Society, which is almost as brutal in its methods as Poor Law administra- tion, has tried in vain to check. If a creature is starving there is no time for long official investigation before supply- ing food and shelter. Able-bodied wastrels, and there are tens of thousands of them. ought to be sent to strictly-managed labour colonies and should be forced to do really re- munerative labour, for which they should only be provided with bare maintenance. These worthless wretches could not be more severely punished than by making them realize that thev were earning more than they were paid. These are the people for whom there should be severity —graded severity—which should lead up to freedom, remuneration and, perhaps, emigration. From a sort of prison the able-bodied skulker should be taken step by step, according to his own progress, to less severe discipline and more kindly oversight. If he revealed mental or physical deficiency then he would be pas&d on to another department and would receive altogether different treat- ment. The three or four great facts that stand out clearly in all investigations into pau- perism are, first, that public feeling has greatly changed and is changing in re- ference to the treatment of the poor. The well-to-do are no longer content that the destitute shall either go into the present dreaded workhouse, or starve; second, that the poor are made up of widely differing sections and that the.y must be sorted and must be treated according to their condi- tion; third, that the present alternatives of out-door or indoor relief, indiscrimin- ately applied, are utterly inadequate and do not meet the situation; fourth, that the Poor Laws and the Poor Law system are utterly inadequate to grapple with the profound and complicated problems which Boards of Guardians have to deal with. (To be concluded next week.)

THE CARNARVON BOROUGHS. WHAT will be the force of the decision of the Carnarvon Boroughs on Saturday? It has already been made abundantly clear by decisions all over the oountry that the electors of that constituency cannot save the Conservative Party even if they could return Mr. R. A. NAYLOR. We never like to presume on a victory that has not been won, but we think it is not unreasonable to expect that Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE, who has been so often chosen by his country- men, will not be rejected on this excep- tional and memorable occasion, when as Mr GREAVES said at Pwllheli h. bas- brought so much distinction to the Car- narvon Boroughs. We do not think it is unreasonable to ask all the electors to join together to do honour to themselves by giving Mr LLOYD-GEORGE a larger majority than ever he had before. This enlarged majority would add nothing to* Mr LLOYD-GEORGE'S security or reputa- tion, but it would teach a lesson to Eng- land and woukl be appreciated by the Welsh people in every part of the world- There is nothing whatever for the Conser- vatives to lose by voting for Mr LLOYD- GEORGE, for Mr. NAYLOR is nobody and nevr has been anybody, and to vote against him on this occasion is not an act that will have any poHtical or other signi- ficance whatever. What we want is a sort of Welsh majority for Wales's first Cabinet Minister. This it is in the power of the Carnarvon Boroughs to give and for the sake of Wales we trust it will be- given whole-heartedly on Saturday. If the Boroughs do not come out well on Saturday they will lose an opportunity that may never occur again in their history. We do not think they will lose the oppor- tunity, but we always fight every battle as. if we were going to lose. The strong course taken by Mr GREAVES, a course that might easily be mistaken or miscon- strued. is an indication that others of his- way of thinking may follow his example. We take it for granted that Mr LLOYD- GEORGE will be returned; what we are- pleading for is that the Carnarvon Bor- oughs will vindicate themselves—do hon- our to themselves—and utter the thoughts- of the Principality. The time for argu- ment is past. L There is nothing for it now but a last appeal—and it is not an appeal for existence, but for honour and glory, Votc, for LLOYD-GEORGE, the President of the Board of Trade and the first Welsh Member of a Cabinet.
