Ik T Notes and News. The Lords are going to reform themselves —in order to strengthen their authority in British politics. After the Easter vacation the battle royal between the two Houses of Parliament will commence in earnest. Mr. Rufus Isaacs, M.P., who succeeds Sir S. T. Evans as Solicitor General is a member of the Jewish community, and a personal friend of the Rothschilds. This explains the absence of a contest in the division when he had to seek re-election. Mr. Lloyd George is a keen motorist, and he has recently been elected a member of the Automobile Association. The Rev. Sylvester Home's maiden speech in the House of Commons was a fine ora- torical performance, and was listened to with much interest by a crowded House. Dr. Forsyth is a violent opponent of the New Theology teachings, and his criticisms of the new movement at the recent Free Church Conference, at Hull, were couched in the language of the gutter and in the spirit of the Inquisition. One of the most promising young bloods" among the Irish Nationalist Party is Mr. Nat Keating-a native of Mountain Ash, by the way. He speaks Welsh fairly well, and is a staunch member of the Welsh and Irish Clubs in London. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday, or Flower- ing Sunday" as the masses of the South Wales people call it. The graves in the churchyards and cemeteries will be elabor- ately decorated with flowers and wreaths, and thousands of sightseers will flock to see them. Palm Sunday commemorates Christ's entry into Jerusalem. "After all said and done," writes our South Wales correspondent, Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, who is standing as Labour candidate for Mid Glamorgan, is a better Welsh Nationalist than men like Sir Henry Norman, the rejected member for Wolver- hampton, and whom many Liberals wanted to run. Welshmen do not want rejected English Liberal M.P.'s." The Rhondda Valley has witnessed many sad disasters these last few years. The flooding of the hillside village of Clydach Vale, on Saturday, was a particularly tragic event. The one bright feature was the bravery and heroism of the school teachers. They displayed great presence of mind under very trying circumstances. Enthusiasm for football is very pronounced in South Wales. Over 2,000 Welshmen went over to Ireland on Saturday to see the Wales v. Ireland Rugby match, whilst 20,000 spectators were present at the Wales v. England Association match at Cardiff on Monday. Co operation is growing amongst Welsh farmers In fact, Welsh agriculturists are now invited to address farmers in England. We observe from the West oj England Observer that Mr. H. Jones-Davies (chairman of the Carmarthen Farmers' Co-operative Society) gave a capital address to farmers at the New Inn Hotel, Gloucester, the other day. The meeting was held under the auspices of the West Midland Farmers' Association. Mr. C. Bathurst, M.P., who presided, complimented Mr. Jones-Davies upon his address. A very able Welsh clergyman is the Rev. D. H. Griffiths, M.A., vicar of the beautiful and historic church at St. Woolos, Newport. Mr. Griffiths is a native of Aberystwyth. His Men's Services" on Sunday after- noons are particularly instructive and in- spiring. At last Sunday's service he spoke on Celtic Christianity: its History and Romance." He holds his audience well together. A correspondent in the South Wales Daily News says that the recent note in the CELT that there were more Welsh street names at Newport than at Cardiff is incorrect. It is evident that this correspondent is not well informed. The death of the Rev. Hathren Da vies, of Cefn," writes our South Wales correspon- dent, "removes a lovable figure from our midst. He died with tragic suddenness on Saturday. I knew him well, and was always interested in what he said, for he had read widely and could converse ably on any topic -theological, literary, or political. For many years he edited the Ymofynydd, and his Welsh articles were characterised by great force and literary flavour. He was a native of the beautiful Vale of Teify, a valley which has produced more Unitarians than any other valley in Wales. To know Hathren Davies was to respect him, and in common with many other Welshmen, I deeply regret his death."
