I SA TURDA Y, MARCH 14, 1908. THE NATION OR THE TRADE. I The fight against the Licensing Bill is being carried on with a strange reckless- j ness of misstatement, from the placards displayed in the public-houses to the speeches of reverend Church supporters of The Trade on the public platform. II The most powerful monopoly in the country is thoroughly aroused. It threatens to stop at nothing to defeat I. the Bill. Already the trade has com- menced to break up meetings. This should teach the general public what they may expect from powerful monopo- lies. It is The Trade's interest first and last—there is no consideration of the country's welfare. Our trade our poli- tics is a piece of pure selfishness which is being exemplified in the present fight. Lord Rosebery was right when he warned the people that if the nation did not con- trol the liquor trade the trade would control the nation. There is to be no right of meeting, no freedom of opinion for] I those who oppose the trade. Members of Parliament and others are being threat- I ened with a boycott. The organisation of the trade is complete, and it proceeds on American Trust methods. There is no room or place for any who oppose the trade or refuse to vote for the rejection of the Licensing Bill. The good of the country, health and morality, the good government of the towns and villages are as nothing in the eyes of the trade de- I fenders. The Church is threatened, lest it should support the trade IN its opposi- tion to the Government. What is the cause of all the indignation of the people against the Bill ? The Licensing Bill I falls far short in its proposals of the things deemed necessary by the Licen- sing Commission which sat several years ago. On that Commission the trade had more than its share of representatives, but on the evidence laid before it the Commissop was bound to make many drastic recommendations, and the minority report probably more nearly approached the opinion and desire of the country on the question than the finding of the majority. The majority report con- chided that the number of licensed houses should be very largely reduced." Mr Balfour provided for a reduction of houses, which is going on, and the pro- posals of the present Bill are only slightly in excess of that number. Sunday closing, the distance for the bona-fide 1 traveller, the prohibition of sale to chil- dren, the control of clubs, and the sup- pression of purely drinking clubs were recommended by the report. The present Licensing Bill does no more than this. The time limit commended by the minority was seven years—the Govern- ment Bill allows fourteen years, and that seven years after the recommendation of the Commission. The fight is for the interests of a monopoly against the higher interests of the State, and we shall be much mistaken if the sense of the country does not support the State against the Trade. The State creates the monopoly and maintains it, and has the right of control in the public interest. That public interest has been defined by a Commission, and on the findings of that Commission are the Government pro. ceeding under the Licensing Bill

Quite apart from religious reasons or Church sentiment the Sunday question is of the greatest importance to the working men of this country, and they are well advised in resisting the extension of Sun- day labour whenever there can be shown a good reason, or any reason, for their opposition. At the meeting of the New- port Town Council on Tuesday it was proposed that the trams should be run on Sundays, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. during the summer months, The advocates of Sunday trams in Newport will have a difficult task to convince the opponents of the necessity for Sunday labour until such time that Newport is a much more extensive borough than it is to-day. The Council promptly negatived the proposal by a majority of 25 to three, and the whole of the tramway employees are against Sunday labour. In large towns such ag Cardiff, for instance, a need exists for facilities for Sunday travelling as much as Sunday trains on the local lines, but where that necessity is not proved we should be sorry to see Sunday labour increased, and that in the interests of the workers themselves.

Sweet are the uses of advertisement. The Tenby Council secured, quite unex- pectedly, a great fame and publicity by their action in excluding a Pressman from the meetings and fighting the case for their rights "of privacy np to the Appeal Court. They are entirely opposed to the spirit of the age, for Town Coun- cillors are the representatives of the public, the ratepayers, and not dictators with a right to keep their doings secretly from the ratepayers. On the other hand, the Llanwrtyd Wells Urban Council is eager for publicity for its proceedings, and at the last meeting decided to appoint A committee to deal with Press reports and the advertisement of the town generally. So eager are they for publicity for the town that when re. porters are not present it is proposed that reports should be supplied by the Council. Every possible support is to be given to the Ptess in the interests of the town of Llanwrtyd Wells. And Newport is exercised over the reports of the com- mittee proceedngs. Committees are closed to the Press, the news being picked up afterwards from talkative I or obliging members. Information was recently given from a committee which j enabled the Monmouthshire Council to forestall Newport, and at the meeting of the Uskside Council this week it was suggested that the meetings should be ¡ open or the reports supplied officially. Tlie Cardiif meetings are open to the Press, and the system works much better for Town and ratepayers than.the New- port method of the closed Committee.

Are we beginning to realise as a people the value of simple and well-cooked food ? The cooking among the poor can scarcely be called cooking at all; but there are many exceptions where the wives of poor men, with no better appli- ances than are found in the average kitchen, can work wonders in cooking and in the provision of wholesome food I for large families at a very small cost. This is an art which might be taught to the people in the nation's schools, and would be far more practical than the ¡ smatterings of many things as now taught, I which are never applied in the experience I of nine pupils out of every ten. Mr J. C. Buckmastoi, of the South Kensing- ton Department of Science and Art, has reached his 90th birthday and "intends to reach 110. He is not a vegetarian, but eats sparingly of meat, well cooked, and declares that wholesome, well-cooked food, aye, and a few wild flbwera on the table, are greater helps to happiness and moral progress than many preachers on the subject." This is prac- tical commonsense, or everyday religion. Weare waking up to the national and J personal value of sensible cooking. The sea cook must be trained and the coming mothers of the race are to be taught prac- tical housewifery—whichincludes cookery and hygiene—in the schools. The building bye-laws adopted by the local authorities throughout the country were framed by the Local Government Board to safeguard the public health and to prevent the erection of the product of the jerry builder. By prohibiting certain forms of building the bye-laws have been found to hinder the very end desired. The restrictions have tended to make cottage building in town and country alike too costly. It was impossible to erect cottages at a price which would permit of a rental within the reach of the labourer. The science of chqap cottage building has arisen since then, and ex- periments have shown the necessity for removing some of the restrictions, thereby enabling the construction of ¡ substantial cottages and dwellings at a low cost. Many housing schemes have failed to relieve the pressure on the class most needing help, and at Merthyr on Monday the Housing Committee dis- cussed the plans of cheap cottages for the very poorest, which would help the Health Department very materially in closing slum property. A full report has been ordered on cheap cottages.

Swansea has indeed looked a gift horse in the mouth by her action over the PRESENTATION of an Art Gallery to the town by Mr Glynn Vivian. He has offered to build and equip an art gallery and present it to the town providing that the Corporation will maintain it. The cost of maintenance would amount to a farthing increase of the rates, and it is proposed to add this to the Free Library rate. But a demand has been made for a poll of the ratepayers on the proposal, and the ratepayers demanding a poll declare that a burden like this" should not be put upon them without a poll, because the rates are already high enough without any addition for luxuries." The provision of an Art Gallery is scarcely a luxury for the poorest, for in these days the value of the influence of good pictures is well understood. For the wealthy and the residents in artistic homes a public pic- ture gallery may be a luxury," but it is a real necessity for the people in a town of the character of Swansea. There are several Welsh towns thatwould not ques- tion a gift of this character, nor would they deem a poll necessary.

Mr Pritchard( Guardians' warrantofficer) made an application at Cardiff Police Court yester- day for orders against the Cardiff Corporation for payment of the cost of removal and main- tenance of fourteen alien pauper lunatics who had been admitted during the past twelve months and had no settlement or domicile in this country. The orders were made, the total sum in respect of the fourteen aliens amount- ing to £250. This sum has to be paid by the Cardiff rate- payers.

MR GRAYSON'S IDEAL Replying to theargument that Socialism will level down instead of up, and incidentally to a criticism for his appearance at a Manchester meeting in a dress jacket and five-inch high collar, Mr Victor Grayson, M.P., writes in the Labour Leader :— I view with unspeakable loathing The Simple Life.' I prefer the voluptuous glow of the fuil-facultied Dionysian. I do not want to be a sunbeam. I prefer the warm flesh and the flashing eye. I do not like the rough home- spun, nor the austerely simple dwelling. An honest heart may sometimes beat beneath a pleated shirt-front.' Under the regime fore- shadowed by our best men and women, there wiH be love, and sweet, sensuous mtBlc, art and poetry, and the exquisite joy of eating and drinking together. There will be gowns of graceful droop, a sparkling gem or two, a. brimming bowl or two, good food, fine linen- and culture. But it will be a banquet to humanity, prepared by dignified industry."

SUDDEN DEATHS AT CARDIFF. The death occurred very suddenly yesterday of Mr John Pearce, of No. 9, Pontcanna- terrace, near Oandaff Fields. Mr Pearce got up at an early hour, but returned to bed, and died almost immediately. He had been ailing for some eight months, and had been at- tended by Dr. Hugh Williams, who, we understand, will certify that death was due to heart failure, brought about by asthma. Deceased, who was 58 years of age, had lived in the neighbourhood for about 40 years. He leaves a widow, five sons, and a daughter. One son, Mr Tom Pearce, is the well-known newsagent in Pontcanna-terrace. Shortly after noon to-day Arthur Wilson, a^ed about 54, residing in Richards-terrace, storekeeper at the Junction Dry Dock, Cardiff, WHS discovered by one of the officials lying face- downwards on the floor, having evidently fallen from his chair, presuma.bly in a fit. Medical and other assistance was at once procured, but life was extinct, The deceased had been in ailing health for some time.

PO LFCYTERJURYC ASE. At Central Criminal Court on Thursday two men. Sexton and Church, were each sentenced to nine months' hard labour for perjury in connection with a case that has attracted con- ¡ siderable attention. In August Sexton and Church were taken into custody, as the result of which allegations i were made leading to proceedings against Police-constables Jenkms and Adams for per- jury. The constables were honourably ac- ¡' quitted, and Sexton* Church, and the latter's wife, who were among the witnesses against them, were arrested. On Mr Muir intimating yesterday that he would take the opinion of the Attorney-General as to whether the prose- cution should continue against the woman, she was admitted to bail. The Common Serjeant, in passing sentence on the men, said a more malicious case of per- jury had never come to his notice.

GOOD DIGESTION ENSURES

GOOD DIGESTION ENSURES GOOD HEALTH. When your digestion is in sound working order it makes the food you eat ready for assimilation, and all the nutriment it con- tains goes into your system to become rich, stimulating blood each organ, nerve, and muscle is properly nourished, and you cannot well be otherwise than healthy. But when your digestion is imperfect your food lags in your stomach and begins to fer- ment and decompose, instead of being digested. This creates poisonous acids and wind or gas, which presses on the heart and lungs, causing palpitation and difficult breathing. The harm- ful products of decomposition are drawn into your blood, your system is weakened and the way prepared for painful, perhaps deadly, diseases. Mother Sergei's Syrup acts as a digestive tonic and assists Nature's own processes in I digestion and assimilat ion. Use it on the first signs of stomach disorder, and it will quickly put you right and keep you right. Says Mr Sharpe, Overstrand, 10, Riviera- terrace, Riviera Drive, Southcnd-on-Sea, in a statement, dated August 21st, 1907 :—" I was racked "with indigestion, afraid to eat or tor- tured with pain in the chest whenever I dared to do so. But at last I found my cure in Mother Seigel's Syrup." Mother Seigel's Syrup is now also prepared in Tablet form, and sold under the name of Mother Seigel's Syrup Tablets. Price 2s 9d per bottle.

The King's Holiday. I Biarritz, the Biscayan town where King Edward is spending his holiday, possesses a mild climate and is onjoyable all the year round. It was there that in 1S55, soon after their marriage, Napoleou III. and his consort erected the imperial villa on the foundations of which rises to-day the Hotel du Palais, the temporary residence of King Edward. Since taal time Biarritz has received the visits of many Royal personage". Queen Victoria' and Princess Beatrice, with the baby Princess I Blla, went there in 1883, -A- did his' Majesty, r- aK mm ii then Prince of Wales. It was a favourite resort for the late Empress of Austria and the late Kings of Sweden and Servia. Amongst the present-day Royal visitors are King Edward, the King of the Belgians, and King Alfonso, the latter of whom has special reasons for re- garding it with favour, for it was in the near neighbourhood that he wooed and won his bride. Often in the season he motors over from San Sebastian, the Spanish rival of Biarritz. Prince Bismarck.visited Biarritz a few ,days before the Franco-Prussian War. One day while swimming off the Grange Plage he was caught by a receding wave, and, powerfully-built man though he was, would probably have been drowned had he not been rescued by a plucky French bather.

THE COURT HOUSE, MERTHYR.

THE COURT HOUSE, MERTHYR. Histeric Associations. After having resisted the vicissitudes of time for nearly 800 years, the Court House, Mer- thyr Tydfil, has at last passed into the pos- session of those who will adapt it to pressing modern needs. The oid house, dating from 1150, and supposed to have been occupied by Ivor Bach, has been leased to a syndicate for the purpose of providing accommodation for artisans and other working men. It is to be adapted to accommodate 100 single men, and it will be conducted on lines similar to those upon which the Rowton Houses are managed in London. Cubicles will be placed in the 12 bedroms contained in the old house, and a big bathrom, containing six baths, will be intro- duced, while a big hot plate will be fixed in the kitchen for the guests to prepare their own meals the splendid reception rooms will be devoted to the comfort of the guests, while the lawns with the tennis court and quoit ground will serve for recreatioh purposes. There is great need for the accommodation which will be thus provided but the change for the former dignified splendour4 of the old house must seem to all who consider it some- thing of a tragedy. One of the earliest and most stirring inci- dents in the history of the Court House is the setting out of Llewelyn Bren, son of Madoc, and grandson of Ivor Bach, with his 10,000 armed followers to avenge the wrong done him by Payne de Turbervill, who depriyed him of the appointment he held under the Earl of Gloucester. After sundry exploits against A Bohun Llewelyn was at last defeated and captured about 1315, with his sons Griffith and Evan. The possession of the Court assed down through Llewelyn's brother Griffith, and coming at length to Rees Ywya ap Llewelyn I Fychan, who owned the Troedyrliiw estates as well, was given to his sou Philip, Troedy- rhiw going to his elder son Llewelyn. The house and estats passed to Edward Lewis, who lived in some splendour at Merthyr, until he took up his residence at the Van, Caer- who lived in some splendour at Merthyr, until he took up his residence at the Van, Caer- philly, in the 16th century. The Rees family of the Werfa, Aberdare, were the eventual 1 owners. The last Rees to reside at Merthyr left his widow in full enjoyment of the Werfa ¡ estate at Aberdare and the Court at Merthyr. She married Dr. Thomas, a surgeon practising at Merthyr, and on her death he acquired by purchase the Court House and estates. Dr. Thomas and his sons were great sporting meu, and kept a pack of fox hounds. After the house was given up as a residence by the Thomas family it was used as a ladies' school by the Misses Edwards, and now, after pass- ing into the hands of Mr Gomer Thomas, the house has been leased to a syndicate for the purposes indicated. As the accompanying illustration shows, it is a picturesque old house, very substantially built. The walls are in some instances six feet thick. In the cellar—between which and Mortals Castle by the way, tradition says there existed a subterranean passage—there was I found some years ago in a walled-up room, a splendid carved oak wooden bedstead, bearing the letters M. C. L. The bedstead is at present in one of the bedrooms of the house. There are hundreds of single men in lodgings in Merthyr, and the scheme now being started will probably be very successful.

A lady raiding in Kyveilog-street said that on Wednesday afternoon prisoner attracted her attention while she was putting up the blinds to one of the back windows. In order to inter- cept her little girls (who were about due home from school) witness hurried to the back door. Prisoner stood within a few vards of her. and in consequence of his conduct she called him a dirtv pig, threatened to thrash him with a stick, and to call the police. He then walked away, and she followed, keeping him under observation until she gave information to the police. Prisoner was taken into custody by P.C. Young, who said he gave two wrong ad- dresses. Prisoner now asserted with much emphasis that he was not in the lane at the back of Kyveilog-street, that he gave a wrong address because he was innocent, and that he was taken into custody merely because he walked up to a small crowd near Kyveilog-street. At the time mentioned by the lady he was walk- ing past Ho wells' School, Llandaff. The magistrate.; (Mr J. H. Hallett and Mr T. Watkin-Lewis) considered the charge proved, but reserved their decision until another charge had been investigated. The prosecutrix in the second charge was a well-dressed girl of about 18. who said that prisoner insulted her in Senghenydd-road at mid-day on January 6th last. She called him a dirty beast, and he then swore at her. He stood within a few yards of her at the time. Prisoner again set up an alibi, assenting that he was the victim of mistaken identity. The manager of the shop ia Frederick-street would be able to state that on Jan. 6th he (prisoner) did not leave the shop ii ntit theevening. W. H. Boucher, the manager referred to,was sent for, and said that up to the early paxt of January it was prisoner's custom to go home to dinner about 12 o'clock. Sutton then lived in Dia- mond-street, Roath. Mr Hallett said the magistrates were not satisfied with regard to the second charge, but the first was conclusively proved, and they sen- tenced prisoner to two months' hard labour. The lady in Kyveilog-street was to be com- mended fot coming forward. P.C. Young said that a lar £ e quantity of in- decent writing was found on the prisoner, and he asked for an order that it should be de- stroyed. The order was made. mmm

WHITMORE BAY SCHEME. A special committee meeting of the Barry Chamber of Trade was held on Thursday at Barry. Mr Alfred Jackson presiding, to consider the question of the proposed expenditure of £ 23,000 on the improvement of Barry Island. In the course of the discussion it was explained that this amount was made up :— £ 4,000 for the purchase of WliitDioie Bay, JEU,900 for making a sea wall and promenade, the remain- ing £ 7,100 being distributed over the proposed provision of concrete stairs,1,600 feet of seating accommodation, bandstands, fountains, shelters, railings, etc. Mr J. D. Watson said that the-scheme was in its infancy, because they as a Council had not yet said whether they were going to accept it or not. Several members of the chamber ex- pressed disapproval of such a large expendi- ture, as the return would be inadequate. The Island and Whitmore Bay, one said, could be easily improved for a few thousands. Mr J. Jones, Parkstone, said that speaking from a visitor's standpoint he favoured the idea of improvement, hut rather in the direction of Porthkerry Park. Owing to the smallness of the attendance no decision was come to whether the scheme should be supported or not, and the question was defirwsd.
=River Usk Navigation.I .
= River Usk Navigation. I NEWPORT IMPROVEMENT PROPOSALS. Harbour Board's Policy. At Wednesday's meeting of Newport Harbour Board, Mr G. F. Colborne presiding, Councillor F. P. Robjent, J.P., moved that with a view to ascertaining whether any, and if so what, improvements could be made to the river Usk, whereby navigation and the trade and commerce of Newport and the district I could be benefited, a special committee be appointed to vitfit the districts where river improvements have been effected, and tomake such further inquiries as they may consider necessary, and to report." Mr Robjent dealt at length with the river improvements carried out on the Thames, the Tyne, the Seine, the Clyde, and other rivers, and how the trade and commerce around those communities had subsequently increased. As for the River Usk., he said that for 20 years there had not been that rate of progress which they had a right to expect; the average of the revenues of the Harbour Board for that period showed that their income had remained practically stationary. While this was the case with the river, they had to note the great development which was taking place in their dock system. The Harbour Board's Act gave them powers to maintain, deepen, cleanse, scour, amend, and improve the navigation of the port and harbour for the greater safety and accommodation of the vessels using the same," but beyond the dredging of the river it was practically in the same state as it was in the beginning. In view of the powers they possessed, surely their duties ought to consist of something more than keeping the river in as good a state as Nature made it. Mr Robjent said his object that day was to ask them to consider whether the time had not come when a thorough, comprehensive, and wide-reaching system of general river improve- ment should not be inaugurated on lines com- mensurate with what had been done on the Tees or the Tyne or the Clyde. If, as had been said, the River Usk was the most valuable asset which Newport possessed, he would like to know where its direct financial value came in. Mr Robjent said he was aware projects had been put forward by the board, but he was afraid the matter had now gone to sleep. Mr W. J. Orders seconded. Mr W. Evans moved as an amendment that the matter be referred to the Dredging Com- mittee. Mr T. H. Mordey seconded, and said Mr Robjent might have brought this. matter first before the committee. He hoped it would not go forth that J>he board had been asleep. What they wanted was means to carry out practical suggestions. Mr T. E. Watson complimented Mr Robjent on his speech, and said he was glad to find a young member taking up this old question. Mr Robjent agreed to the matter being re- ferred to the Dredging Committee.

"RIGHT TO WORK." I.L.P. BILL DEBATED. MR JOHN BURNS CAUSES UPROAR. "Detusion and Snare." In the House of Commons yesterday Mr Whitwell Wilson (L., St. Pancras) moved the second reading of the Unemployed Workmen Bill, the object of which is to impose the ob- ligation on local authorities to find work for every registered unemployed person in their areas, and, failing this, to provide free main- tenance for himself and those dependent upon him.PQwer is alsogiven local authorities to com- puLsorily detain for a period of six months any such person who refuses to work. Mr Wilson declared charity had failed to relieve distress caused by unemployment, and that soup kitchens, however useful they might be to Cabinet Ministers wandering about in Windsor uniforms—(laughter)—were altogether inade- quate to meet* the necessities of the case. The Bill contemplated coming to a man's assist- ance hefore he lost IÚs self respect and slipped down into the gutter Mr Ramsay Macdonald ( Lab., Leicester), in seconding the motion, said the Bill had behind it the combined forces of Labour in this coun- try. The Labour party stood for the right to work. Some hon. members fancied that in this measure they heard the rumble and tumble of Sccialism and saw a doleful and melancholy procession of some King going to the Place de la Concorde, where was a man, wearing a red cap, ready to chop his head off. (Laughter.) That was a mere nightmare vision. Mr Fred Maddison (Lab., Burnley) moved, as an amendment, that the House could not entertain a measure which, by wasting the resources of the nation, would throw out of work more persons than it could assist, and I' would destroy the power of organised labour but hoped that the Government would give immediate consideration to the recommenda- tions in the forthcoming report of the Poor Law Commission, so far as they deal with un- employment. Those, he said, who had pan- dered to the thoughtless, thriftless, and de- moralised would better help to solve this problem by talking sense outside than nonsense inside the House. It was a fallacy to suppose that to cultivate land required no skill. (Oppo- sition cheers.) He would sooner go to jail than go on the land, and he would serve his country better. (Laughter.) There was nothing in the Bill but ruinous land schemes. It would de- crease employment, and strike a. fatal blow at i organised labour. Mr Vivian (L., Birkenhead) seconded the amendment. He said unemployment could only be remedied by dealing with its causes. The Bill would lower wages, weaken Trade Unions, and intensify unemployment. Mr W. Brace (Lab., South Glamorgan) said the measure contained a principal which was the rallying ground of all reformers who wanted to deal with unemployment in a. way that would carry hope into the homes of the people. Mr Hemmerde (L., East Denbigh) contended that the promoters of the Bill were beginning at the wrong end. He would decline to vote for the measure until every other remedy had failed. Mr Grayson (Lab., Colne) said if the Gov- ernment could find no way of solving the problem of unemployment they would be affording the strongest argument for bringing abouttheir speedy superannuation. (Laughter.) If this Bill passed, they would still be con- fronted by the organic problem of unemploy- ment so long as the present chaotic system of industry continued. If the present Govern- ment could not find a solution of the problem they should resign. All that was wanted was money. (Laughter.) That money should come from the bursting bags of unearned in- crement which the Government were too timid to tackle. A Storm. Mr Bums (President of the Local Govern- ment Board) maintained that the Government had done all that oouldtbe reasonably expected to mitigate the condition of the unemployed. If they had made any mistake, it was that they had exalted fustian and corduroy above silk hat and frock coat. They were getting to closer grips with the problem. Hardly one of the ex- periments similar to those contemplated by the Bill had warranted faith in them and the money spent and the time wasted upon them. The Act of 1906 was passed in a hurry. Let them not commit the folly of passing a worse Act in a greater hurry. It would place upon him the responsibility of dotting every district in England with costly relief works like those at Hollesby Bay. Mr Crooks (with heat): It is untrue. (Cries of Order, order.") I repeat, even if I am suspended, it is untrue. Mr Burns That is a kind of interruption I had^bpst ignore. (Hear, hear.) Tine boiv gentSteman continued his Observations atnid a running fire of angry comments from the Labour benches, in which Mr ^rooks, Mr Jowett, Mr Gurran, and Mr Macdonald took a prominent part. The right to work prin- ciple had practically no support from local authorities. Relief works did the workman more harm than good, and per- petuated tne very chaos in industry they were supposed to remedy. If the Bill were passed, the lot of the poor in our cities would be,infi- nitely worse than it now was. (Opposition cheers.) Because the Government considered the Bill impossible, unworkable, and a delusion and a snare, they intended to vote for the amendment. (Cheers.) Government's Pledge. Mr Asquith said the Bill contained a novel principle, and so far from remedying unem- ployment it would vastly aggjavate it. The Government would not fail to bring before Par- liament some measure to deal with the ques- tion. He deprecated any attempt to solve the unemployed queestion in a comprehensive fashion. The House divided when there voted ;—For the second reading, 95 against, 241. The Bill was therefore rejected.

SECOND EDITION .< "Don't Interrupt, Sir!' SIR JOHN WILLIAMS & LORD JUSTICE WELSH COMMISSION SCENE. When Mr A. H. Waipwright was giving evi- dence before the Welsh Church Commission II yesterday on behalf of the Nonconformists of Radnorshire, Lord Justice Vaughan Williams ruled out as irrelevant all comparisons made by witnesses between Nonconformity and tha I Anglican Church. We have not asked you." said the Judge, to give us Church figures. We have had Church figures from Churchmen. Later his Lordship asked that some genera witness should be called to speak for the work done by the Quakers in Wales. Sir John Williams took vigorous objection to the chairman's ruling that temperance work was outside the scope of the inquiry, and not included in the terms of reference. Why," said Sir John, "temperance is one of the virtues, according to St. Paul's, and you will accept this authority, sir." The Chairman, however, emphasised his ruling. Sir John You yourself have examined wit- nesses as to co-operation between clergy and ministers. The Chairman Yes, co-operation in religious work. Temperance in these days seems a matter of politics. The Chairman, in the spirit of charity and all religious feeling," asked witness whether it was not an invidious thing to do this compari- son between Church and Nonconformity ? Witness did not think so. Sir John Williams questioned witness as to an occasion when the Dean of St. David's and the Dean of Hereford visited Llandrindod to J: address a temperance meeting, the rector of the |) parish declined to co-operate with Noncon- •. formists. } The Chairman ruled that this question was ■* not within the terms of reference. Sir John I wish you would not interupt*s sir. The Chairman repeated his ruling, and added that he would instruct the secretary and i the shorthand writer not to let these particular questions and answers appear on the notes. Sir John Williams: Oh, I don't object to that.

Welsh Labour Premier. m j FIGHT WITH THE UPPER HOUSE South Australia's Prosperity. Renter's representative had an interview on Thursday with Mr Price. Prime Minister of t South Australia, which has been in the throes oi a constitutional struggle between the Upper and Lower Legislative Houses for some time past. Our Legislative Council," the Premiersaid, is rather like your House of Lords. It only springs into life during the presence in power of a Liberal or Labour Ministry. The present jj dispute has arisen from the Government's policy of closer land settlement. We wish to see large estates which are lying to a great extent idle cut up, settled, and developed. Thfr Bills tending to achieve this result have been rejected by the Legislative Council, which. is largely composed of land owners. At present the measure at issue between th&- two Houses is the Progressive Land Tax Bill, i If the Upper House continues to reject it the* dissolution of the Assembly will ensue. Should the Labour party be returned to power again, and should the Legislative Council persist in. its attitude the dissolution of the Council as well as of the Lower Chamber would follow. The matter might also be settled by the two Houses sitting and voting together. I think, however, that a settlement of the question will be reached. Turning to the general condition of the country, Mr Price said that the outlook for the year was most encouraging. The present posi- tion was very satisfactory. There was not a willing man unemployed throughout the colony. Good rains had fallen, and the harvest promised to be excellent. Morever, the figures relating to the export of every kind of produce exported to Great Britain and the Continent- showed increases. The railways were now being improved and were producing revenue In every way the outlook was hopeful. Mr Price intends returning to Australia at the beginning of June.

Ed- wards, who had sustained a fracture of the skull, said that on the evening of the 24th February he was in the back-yard of his house at Quarrella-street when Reeves rushed outo of his own house and struck him with a stone. He had had no quarrel with Reeves.—Cross- examined by Mr Alfred Jackson, who defen— > ded, Edwards said that his brother threw a stone at Reeves, and that was the beginning of all. Dr. Draper said that Edwards sustained a fracture of the base of his skull, but was now almost well. Harriet Edwards, prosecutor's mother, said. her husband came out as her son lay on the ground wounded- She cried out, As you have killed my son I will drop this brick on your head," and he did so. Her husband was now charged with wounding Reeves. A number of witnesses were called for the de- fence of Reeves to show that the missile was not intended for Richard Edwards, but for his brother, who had run away and escaped the blow. Several witnesses were called, and after & lengthy hearing the Bench decided to commit Reeves for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, and allowed him bail. Richard Edwards, senior, was then charged with wounding Reeves. This was reduced to common assault, and he was fined 10s or seven days with hard labour.

Gough is alleged to have had altogether over £9.<XX>. Mr Marshall Hall, for the defence, claimed the t acquittal of the prisoner because the Crown had failed to prove his guilt. Prisoner was a man who had practically realised £1,200 by his patent right. Gough believed Dymock had given him away to the police, as Dymock was the only person who knew where he had gone' to. Gough, declared counsel, had taken all the money, and had hidden it somewhere where he could get it on the expiry of his sen-, tence. The jury found Dymock not guilty, aad ha was discharged.
