REGISTRATION REFORM.
REGISTRATION REFORM. One result of thu smart electioneering trick of the Government in appealing to the country in September last on a register twelve months old has been to draw public attention to the costly and unsatisfactory system of registration at present in force. It is simply astounding that a system so rotten should have been tolerated so long. Over thirty years ago, a Select Committee of the Houso of Commons, presided over by Sir Wm. Haroourt, made out a strong ca.su for reform, and various attempts have tanee been made to effect an improvement, but without avail. Registration reform is one of those mat- ters which onght not to be a party question. Conservatives and Liberals aliko should make it theiir business to see that registra- tion is made more effective and less costly. As a matter of fact, however, this is one of the questions which the Conservatives, as a party, prefer to leave severely alone. True, there axe Tories of the type of Sir Edward Clarke who consider that, when Parlir.rae;it has decided that a certain class of persons are to receive the franchise, it is their duty to see that there should be no artificial obstacles to prevent the enjoyment cf that right. But Sir Edward Clarke and those who think with him are the exceptions which prove tho rule. The reason for the e.ttitude of t)1e Conservatives as a bcdy is apparent. Those who have studied t'e question in all its bearings have ccme to the conclusion that one,very effective mode of simplifying registration is to introduce manhood suffrage rnd 'one man one vote," and these are reforms which the Tories w¡:1 do iSlelr very utmost to resist. As Mr Gladstone once said: -"The principle of Toryism is mistrust of the people, qualified by fear the principle of Liberalism is trust in the people, qualified by prudence. It therefore restf; with the Liberal par y to put an end to the anomalies of the pre- sent system, and signs are not wanting tn;\t "registration reform" will occupy a promi- nent position in the next Liberal pro- gramme. One important change needed is the shortening of the term of residence. Und Jr the present arrangement a householder may have to wait nearly two years on(I a half be- fore he is entitled to vote. Thus a house- holder whose tenancy commenced in August, 1900, cannot get his name upon the register until September, 1902, and that register will not come into force uncil o January, 1903. The result of this is that a very large number of householders through- out the country, whose circumstances neces- sitate a change of residence every two or three years, are permanently disfranchised. This state of things cannot be satisfactorily remedied, until a method is devised which will make it as easy for a household ;r to get upon the register as upon the iv.to-bock. We have already mentioned the subject cf "one man one vote." At the Ia.st general ejection instances, wero cited of men who voted in as many as six and seven counties, and the same thing occurs at every general election. The remedy tor this is simple. Let a man be registered in one constituency only, as is now the practice""hi the Unit.3d States of America. There, no matter how manyhonse-s a man nmy reside in, lie can vote but for one. Here, a man may have a dozen votes, if he happens to own or rent that number of dwellings in as many differ- ent constituencies. This is one of the many privileges of tfTek"upper ten" which in due course will be swept away. Li 1893, Sir Henry Fowler, on beh if of the Government, introduced a bill by which he proposed that registrars be appointed in every parish to take charge of the register of voters, these registrars to b? ippointcd and paid by the-Iccal authorities. The 1 ill provided for a three months' qualification, and also contained other useful clauses, but the provisions for the appointment and pay- ment of registration officials were not- acceptable to the majority of the House, and the bill was rejected. We understand that Captain Sinclair pro- poses to re-introduce in the coming ye-s'ou his Parliamentary Voters and Electors Bill, which provides for a three months' qualifi- cation, ''one man. one vete," and abolishes the disqualification of voters because of the non-payment of rate, and the receipt of relief. He also proposes tbot a vr,t!:r re- moving from one part of a divided county to another, ?-:i well a^ from one Hart of a divided borough to another, shall retain his qualification. In regard to lodgers, he sug- gest" the removal of the £10 limitation, and the restriction that two joint lodgers shail be entitled to be registered. It is too much to expect that a Bill whic" contains the provisions we have outlined will prove acceptable to a majority of toe Housa of Commons as at present constituted, b'.t its 'introduction, and a discussion upon if, will at least serve the useful purpose of 1 cepins; the question, well before the public, and we have every confidence that at no distant date the country will insist upon seine such measure of reform bémg placel upon the Statute-book.
! NOTES OF THE WEEK
NOTES OF THE WEEK Welshmen were startled when they read, 011 Friday last, the announcement, made "on the highest authority," that it had been decided to abandon tho title of Prince f i ,aios,' at least so far a.s tiii, present generation is concerned. Wo cannot be- lieve that any such decision has been come to. Although it would suit the v-k ws of some politicians to see th title discontinued, such a stop—so far as Wales concerned—would be extremely un- r In the first plico, tho title dates back to the birth of Euwaru II. in Carnarvon Castle, in the year 1284, -o that on the score of antiquity it deserves to be re- tained. Another reason for its retention —and this appeals in a special manner to Welshmen-is the fact that it acknow- ledges the existence of Wab < w, a separate n;< ticnality. As one writer p1.C" it, tke title has, in some way, been looked upon as a pledge of special treatment, and as an acknowledgment that we are a separate nation and are recognised as such." To us, it is incredible that one of the nrst acts of the new King, whom we han so long known and honoured as Princo of Wales, has been to direct the discontinu- ance of a title which Welshmen — than whom there are nu more loyal and patri- otic subjects—v-jlue so highly. The var- ious puoiic bodie-s throughout the Princi- pality will doubtless take the matter up without loss of time. Sir Edward Russeii, in The New Liberal Review for February, has been trving his hand at Cabinet making, and his "fix- tures "-to say the least of it—are inter- esting. He assign, the Premiership to Lord Rosebery, and transfers Sir William Harcourt to the. House of Lords. Lord Kimborley is placed at the Foreign Officor with Mr. Buxton as his Under Secretary; Sir Edward Grey at the Colonial Office; and Sir Henry Fowler is suggested M Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Home Secretaryship, or, in the alternative, the War Office, is assigned to Mr Asquich. Lord Spencer is placed at the Privv Coun- cil, with Mr Bryce as Education Minister; and Mr Morley at the Indian Office. Helped by men such as have been named, Sir Ed- ward predicts that Lord Rosebery's second period of office would be lone, prosper- ous, ameliorative and glorious.1* The news from the seat of war is any- thing but encouraging. Four months ago we were told that the war was practically over;. now it transpires that the Com- mander-in-Chief doe? not contemplate the possibility of withdrawing a single soldie*' during the next twelve months, ard the House of Commons, early next Session^ will be asked to vote a further sum of £ 70,000,000 in addition to the largo sums already voted. That the ultimate war- bill will amount to an appalling sum is evident when we remember that the ex- penditure at the present time approximates f2,000,000 per week. "Y C'ung "Wales' fcr February ocntains an- interesting article by the R.ev. Griffith Ellis, M.A., on "The Religious Development of Wales during the Nineteenth Century," in which the writer takes a fairly optimistic view of the spiritual condition of the Prin- cipality at the present time. Mr T. E. Hamer ha3 two contributions—a review of Dr. Herber Evans's bic-graphy, by the Rev. Elvot Lewis, and an account of an inter- view with the Bishop of St. Asaph. Alder- man J. M. Howell writes enthusiastically on "The Welsh County Councils:, their re- cord and their possibilities and these ar- ticles, together with an instalment of "A Maid of Cymru," and "W'Jsh Literary Jot- tings" by Mr Robert Bryan make up all excellent number. At the last meeting of the Carnarvon* shire Joint Police Committee, attention was called to two matters of considerable im- portance—the pay of the Carnarvonshire Police Force, and the practice of placing the county town under tho charge cf raw recruits. If what was stated at, too mooting of the Committee is correct, it in obvious that the members of the force are underpaid. It is unreasonable to expect capable men to join the force at the wages now offered, and the sooner the present scale of pay is reasonably increased the more efficient will be the police force in the county.
South Carnarvonshire Notes
South Carnarvonshire Notes (BY DELPHOS). The opposition to the proposed Pwllheli and Nevin Light Railway collapsed completely at the enquiry held last Thursday, and the Light Raiiwav had no difficulty in approving of the scheme in its entirety. This Light Railway will, doubtless, be a great acquisition to the dis- trict, and the promoters are to be congratulated upon their success Not. a discordant voice was heard last Satur- day when the funeral of our late dearly 00. loved Queen took place. Nonconformists and Conformists held solemn memorial services, and grief und mourning were evident on every hand. The sincerity of the various demonstra- tiona could not be doubted for a moment. At Criccieth. Pwllheli, and Portmadoc, the Nonconformist united together and held ser- vices which will not be forgotten for many a year. The largest chapeis were used, and these were crowded. There was buried last week a minister who took an important part in C'alvinistic Method- ism in Lleyn and Eifionvdd many years a go. I refer to Mr. Jarrett, Kevin. He left Pen- mount Chapel, Pwllheli, and started another chapel at Penrhydlymog. A few of the mem- bers went out with him. Little did the rem- nant that buiit Tarsus chapel think then that they would become a great church, oveu great- er than their old mother church, Penmount. But Fud: is the fact to-day. Tarsus church has become Salem Church, which ie one of tbo most flourishing belonging to the Connexion. It was expectcd that the messages from the Churches respecting the i ase of the Rev. W. 0. Jones would have come before the Monthly Meeting at Bodvcan last Monday, but other matters took up the time, and they had to be adjourned. It is very strange that everything m ccnnecticn with Mr. Jones' case is put at the end of the agenda in these meetings. Whether this is in attempt to stifle discussion on the case or not, I cannot say. This I know. that a great deal of time was wasted with mat- ters that could easily have been postponed. The question of total abstinence came before the Monthly Meeting ')!I Wednesday. Mr. Wiiliam Hughes, Ty Ewicyn, moved that no deacon should be elected a member of the Month!y Meeting who did net promise to be a total abstainer, rtnri who declined to give up any interest he might have in the liquor trade, cr any rents received trom public house*. Eloquent addresses wore delivered in support I of tho motion, and the ideals put before the meeting were very high niuccd. But the effect I on my mind was that even if the motion wero ( passed, men would not keep their promises any more than they do now. There is a great deal in what Mr. J. T. Jones said, viz., that there, were other sins as glaring as those referred to in debate. Mr. E. R. Davies most eloquent- ly emphasised the duty of true Christians to suffer even loss for the sake of their religion. I There were solicitors belonging to the Connex- ion who lost considerably by declining to act I for publicans and brewers.
