The amount of secretarial work in connection with the club was enormous, and he hardly knew how Mr Roberts could find the time or the patience to do it. The club's thanks were also due to the auditors, Messrs L- Humphreys and A. ii. Richards.—Iu mov- ing the adoption of the accounts, Mr John Prichard made reference to the yeoman ser- vice rendered to the club during its first year by the captain, and in addition to this they were also indebted to him for the handsome challenge cup which he had pre- j sented to the club.—Remarks to the same effect were made by Mr A.

"HORRIBLY WRONG." DISCUSSION ON ANGLESEY SCHOOL INSCRIPTION. A meeting 01 the Anglesey Education Committee was held at Liangemi on Thurs- day, Mr Hughys Jones, Amlwch, presiding. .in interesting discussion arose over a motion by Air William Edwards, Holo- gwyn. to the effect that the inscription on the new Council School at Llanfairpwll be deleted. The inscription reads thus KCouncil School Llanfairpwll, Ysgoldy y Cynghor." One can imagine, said Mr Ed- wards, a German professor examining the inscription, he would incidentally get to know that Lord Sheffield an educationist of great repute, was ine chairman of the Education Authority, that Mr S. J. Evans, M.A., a well-known writer of Welsh books, was a member of the same authority; and that Professor Morris Jones, an authority on the W elsh language, was one of the school managers. The natural conclusion he would arrive at would be that this was tiie idioffatic way 01 writing these things. As a matter of fact, said Mr Edwards, the wording is neither idiomatic English nor Welsh. Mr S. J. Evans seconded Sir Hughes Hunter 1 do not think there is any need to change the wording. There are in it three separate inscriptions. Air J. H. Burton The English inscrip- IS-i granimatlca% correct because Council oc.hool Llanfairpwll'' reads quite as well as "Llanfairpwll Council School."

The motion was carried, but at a. later stage the Committee decided to leave the matter m abeyance, AIr Edwards havino- succeeded in passing a motion to the effect that all future -chool inscriptions should be in the Welsh .'anguage.
FOOTBALL
FOOTBALL CARNARVON UNITED v. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. After two hours' grim struggle, Carnar- von United and L'andudno Amateurs failed yesterday to decide which team is to meet Bangor m the third round for the Welsh Senior Cup. The game was not high class by any means, although it was throughout productive of very hard and very keen foot- ball. To the ordinary eye there was not much difference between the teams, but when the game was over, one could not but thmk that Carnarvon had been verv unlucky and that in ordinary circumstances thev shou.d ha-v8 won comfortablv. They were more aggressive than the LIandudno men. but the visitors' defence was sound to a degree, and one could Mi but think how different the game would be if the Llandud- no backs were placed in front of the Carnar- I von goal, and the Carnarvon backs h a.ns- jerredi to tyhe Llandudno territory. -And yet, despite their sturdy and consistent de- consi f fence, Stallard. the Llandudno goalkeeper, had much more to do than George, which is J sufficient, proof of the Carnarvon forwards' superiority. The Carnarvon forwards were handicapped by their defence, and on tJ,'& other hand the ILlandudno defence was ever- worked owing to the ineffectiveness of their forwards. I have eeld-om feen a more Ln- eaual team than Carnarvon—axeelient for- ward and half-back lines, but a most un- steady df'enee. and unless an alteration is made in the back line. the team will not go very tar in the cup contests. Both backs are extremely unsteady, and against their own forwards yesterdav thev would H ve been than usel^g. which demonstrates the inenur-lrty of the team. It is true that the Carnarvon forwards It is true that the Carnarvon forwards excelled more in initiating attacks vester- day than in front of goal work, hut one must take into consideration the heaviness of the- take into consideration the heaviness of the- ground which was responsibT-e for the, large number o! excellent opportunities that were missed. But even the front line can be improved bv the irQlut;-(,n of Huehie Roberts 'Land although he possesses several qualifications that go to nwke a good forward, is not steady enough a-srainst experienced players, and he is not quick to graso opportunities, elt is true that he .scored the only goal for his side yesterday, but any man in the posi- tion he was could have scored—the ball v as at his foot, and only needed a slight push to go to the net. To describe the game in detail would he tedious. Only two goal,, were scored in two hour8-a: goal for each team—but there I,5f a world of difference between tl-tm. The goal that was scored, bv Llandudno came from a corner, the result of a mis- take on the part of the Carnarvon defence, and the ball was driven into the net more by accident thnn purpose. The Carnarvon poal, on tn.:> other hand, was the outcome 01 good combination prevailing for once agamst sturdy defence. For fullv a minute the bah rolled among a dozen legs Vithin two yaTds of the goal, and a slight tap at the right moment rent it in. The goals scored illustrated the trend of the game to a nicetv —the Llandudno forwards once they passed the haJi-back line, had no one but George to beat, while the Carnarvon forwards ^.vere met time after time bv two backs who I were as rocks in their soundness.

----I IS if AUTOCRATIC?
IS if AUTOCRATIC? CRITICISM OF THE COUNTY EDUCA- TION COMMITTEE. (SPIRITED DISCUSSION. At the Carnarvonshire County Council yesterday, a spirited discussion ensued upou a proposal made by Mr J. R. Hughes, that the pow-erti delegated to the Education Committee be withdrawal, and that in future all the minutes of the Committee be sub- mitted to the County Council for continua- tion. He hoped, at the outset, that all those members who criad "down with the veto of the House of Lords" would prove their sincerity by voting for the resolution (cries of Oh," and laughter). Of course, he could only expect that from some of them. He characterised the Education Committee as the most unrepresentative belonging to the Council. Only half the members were drawn from the County Council, consequent- ly he maintained that a large proportion of the Council was disfranchised in the matter of education. Am^>ng the members were also nine aldermen, who. although they might I have done service to the county, for which. they were all grateful, were not directly res- ponsible to anyone. To show the extent to which the Committee carried out its autocracy, he pointed out that certain mem- bers of the Council were not allowed to serve as managers of any of the schools in bers of the Council were not allowed to serve as managers of any of the schools in the districts in which they resided. For instance, in the Lianrug rfistri-^t, where there were four schools, no councillor from, that district was a school manager, whereas they all knew of the large amount of money spent on the Bontnewydd School, because certain members of the Committee resided in the parish (laughter and hear. heair). If his friends professed that they trusted the. people, it was high time that they practised what they preached (hear, hear). Mr C. E. Breese. in seconding, declared that whether the fight 'be iong or short, those who believed in the rule of the demo- cracy must persist in their policy. They had it admitted some time ago by the charming personality of one who was casting his shadow over the chair that the principle on which the representation rested was all right, but that it was subject to party exi- jancies. That was said in a brutal, open manner, and a more disgraceful admission he never heard (hear. hear). Mr Breese went on to say that he was not a manager of a single school in his district,—("Shame") -and when a revolt recently occurred there and matters appertaining to it had to be inquired into, they had to imroit a member of the Education Committee there. (A Voice: "Dumping." and laughter). Well, it was a most disgraceful thing. He wished to bring it home to every number who, I prided himself upon the principle of demo- cratic government, and upon no other exi- gency. to stick to the principle thirough thick and thin, and do nothing for the sake of merely securing a cheap victory for one side or the other. He felt very strongly up- on this matter, and there was throughout the county a feeling that owing to the pre- sent position of the Education Coanmittee- I the power had been used autocratically which might have been used to better i d- vantage. Whether a man be a Radical or I Tory in politics was no reason why he should be debarred from expressing his opinion up- on matters appertain;;>g to tho administra- tion of the county (hear. hear). I, Alderman R. Roberts thought that Mr J. R. Hughes ought first to .reform the ald- ermanic system before he attacked those who, not from their own choice, had been made I aldermen of that Council. If Wales had a voice in the matter, he felt sure that there would be no aldermen (hear. hear). But as long as a'dermen were recognised. they ought to he permitted to render all the ser vices they could to their fellow-countrymen (cheers). i co Mr William George invited the Council to vote against the resolution, and he did so en the most democratic principle (laughter). He wanted the government of the people by the people (hear. hear). Amd when the people of 'Carnarvonshire in County Council assembled had within the last few .months ) thoroughly deiscus-s-ed and come to a decision ci that question, he did not think it was I democratic to bring the same question in practically the same form up again. It seemed to him to savour too much of the policy of another assembly which was wear- ing the country down by frequent elections. He much preferred, the straightforward and businesslike motion proposed by Mr Breese some time ago. for the result of the present resolution would be to subject everyp matter to a full discussion of the Council after having previously received full con- sideration by the Education Committee. He denied that it was correct to say that mat- ters coming bé"r? thp Education 'Committee could not be brought up for discussion at I the County Council. He appealed to the Council to leave the Education Committee tlone to continue its work for the present. I There was at the present moment under con- sideration the question of reorganising edu- cation in the county. In fact their system was prooc.b y on the way to the melting pot. Mr R..icnes Robe:t- pointed out that at present the arrangcrncn:? were quite in ac- cordance with the Education Act. Alderman J. R. Pritchard observed thaf to hear some of the references to the alder- men was almost enough t:) make the latter lose their self-respect as members of the- Council. He had been a member o; tfc* Council from the 'beginning, and it was to hi? seat that Mrr J. R Hughes succeeded aF a councillor (laughter). Mr H. Pritchard (Pwllhe'i) moved that in view of the prorosed reorganisation in the county the proposal of Mr J. R. Hughes be deferred Mr W. George -demurred. Mr H.

V 1 ~r"~ FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1910. EDITORIAL NOTES Mr Lloyd George's majority was 130 mare than at the January Election, in spite of the decrease of 272 in the total number of votes polled. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr Austin Jones was not so enthusiastically supported as Mr Vincent was, the Conserva- tive party nevertheless voted straight. In comparing the results of the two elections held this year something must be allowed for Mr Vincent's local associations, and when we consider the heavy turnover at >Bangor together with the decrease of 272 in the total poll. it is surprising that the votes cast for Mr Austin Jones come within 201 of the number cast for Air Vincent in January. Mr Lloyd George's poll was less by 61 than it was in January, but there can be no doubt that a great number of electors who voted for Mr Vincent on that occasion gave their votes to Mr Llovd' Goerge last Satur- day. The percentage of votes obtained by each candidate out of the tlttal poll. works out as foli tows January Lloyd George 60.2 Vincent 39.8 20.4 December Lloyd George 62.1 Austin Jones. 37.9 24.2 It will thus be seen that while Mr Lloyd George had a majority of 20.4 per cent of votes polled in January, he had a. majority of no less than 24.2 per cent in December, his poll having increased from 60 per cent- to 62 per cent of the votes polled. This is as satisfactory a result as could be wished. We hope our friends the enemy will take the lesson to heaxt. There is really no reason why Air Lloyd George should be opposed .in Carnarvon .Boroughs. It is a matter of impossibility to turn him out. and with a steadily increasing majority the Tory prospects are becoming gloomier' and gloomier as the years roll by. Air Lloyd George gave the people of Car- narvon Boroughs a straight answer to a straight question when they asked him how many more elections were necessary to settle the question of the Lords' veto. Not one," was his reply, and the enthusiasm which his words evoked showed how anxious the people are that the veto .should forthwith be abolished. The public has scarcely real- I ised the fact. that the House of Lords will never again be able to mutilate or reject every measure demanded by the Liberal Party. The news is too good to be believed. 11 We have lived so long under the terror of the Peers' veto that it is hard to realise that w.0 are now on the eye ot being emancipated. At last we are going to have fair play in Parliament. The will of the people, is to be paramount. Wales is piling up o huge majority against the Peers' party. Only two eeajfcs have elected Tories to represent them, and in one of these cases the majority was so imigni ficant as to be almost negligible. In Cardiff there was a fairly large turnover, but Car- diff is not a Welsh town, and Cardiffians am not in sympathy with the ideals and aspira- tions of Welshmen. All the other Welsh constituencies have remained true to the "people's cause, and we stand now where we stood eleven months ago. Wales should gain as much as any other part of the king- dom in this fight for liberty. Time -iftot- time have we demanded Disestablishment and Disendowment, local option in licensing mattjers, isdlf-goverjimen't in pdueatUm, a. fairer system of land tenure, and so forth. .These and other reforms would have been secured long ago, but for the veto of the "House of Lords, and now that this veto is to be abolished, we cherish the hope that the reforms which have so long -been with. held from us will at last be granted. We should like to know why Holyhead t-Oouncil d,ecidedi to call attention to the .question of the sale of Sunday newspapers. .Further, we should like 'to know how many 4of the councillors read newspapers published on Alondav. Do these people realise that Monday's newspapers are produced by Sun- day labour, and that Sunday's newspapers,or at least the newspapers sold in Holyhead on Sunday, are all printed on Saturday night? To be consistent, these people who object to Sunday newspapers should also decline to look at any newspaper published on Mon- day. We sympathise with all attempts made to preserve the sanctity of the Sab- flbath, but when it is a case of eft-raining at a gnat and swallowing a camel, we beg lea re :-to protest. The Rnyl Urban District Council has de- cided to eliminate all betting news from the newspapers taken into the reading-room. "It would be well if all local authorities were to emulate their example. It is unnecessary ,at this time of day to point out the evils of I | betting and gambling. Scores of men are ruined every day in consequence. Some day, perhaps, a tlaw will be passed making it unlawful to publish betting and gambling news. With a view to encouraging visitors and adding to the attractions of their district, the PenmaeTImawr Urban Council acquired a golf links; and, if all we hear is correct, the course has already proved most bene- ficial.* Unfortunately7, however, the ques- tion of Sunday golf has disturbed the equi- librium of the good people of Penmaen- mawr, and they have protested against the desecration of the Lord's Day. There- fore. to safeguard thedr consciences, the local arathortiy has inserted a clause in the agreement with the club to the effect that/ Sunday golf will be prohibited. except. with the consent of the Council. The report of the district auditor on the Cútwyn Bay Council's accounts for the. year ended March 31, 1910, is an instruc- tive document. "It will be observed." says the auditor, "that the overdra-ft on the re- venue accounts has increased from £ 10,044 at March, 1909, to JM.1,452 at Alarch, 1910, and the aggregate deficiency in the general revenue (after taking into account outstand- ing debits and credits) has increased from E4676 to JB6062 during. the same period. Tha net overdraft, as we stated a few weeks ago, is £ 16,722.. But about £ 11,450 must! be deducted, be- cause it is on capital suspense loan accounts, for which a loan will be obtained. We are pleased that the Council has decided, at last, to face the prdblem, and that they are making an application to the Local Go- vernment Board for permission to extend the payment of their liabilities on revenue account over a period) of five years from April 1, 1911. On the revenue account tfchere vis ant ovtejrdraift ojf £ 11,42J5, but D2989 of it is on the electricity concern and £ 3871 on the gasworks. The electri- city and gas concern may be expected to clear the respective) deficits.. As we have maintained, time after time, Colwyn Bay cannot afford to sell its gas at the present price; it is unremunerative. If these con- cerns can clear their deficits the general district rate will have to bear only JB4564. an equivalent to an increase of 4d in the £ in the rate for the next five years. The local authority can make out a splendid case, ana Mr John Boras, as a shrewd minister. will, eventually—possibly after a good lecture— accedo to their request.
