The declaration of the poli in a contested election is, however, made at Dolgelly. Harlech has nourished in recent years, and there is nON a movement afoot to persuade the county council to meet there at least once a year.

Nodion Ned Llwyd. • LLOYD GEORGE FOR EVER!! Dyma'r gwron wedi cael buddugoliaeth ardderchog unwiith yn rhagor. Tybed na foddlona y Ceidwadwyr iddo bellach gael llonydd. LJawer ymgais sydd wedi ei wneud ganddynf i'w ddiorseddt1 ond y mae gatael y Rhyddfrydwyr ynddo yn mynd yn fwy o hyd. Er na chefais fyned i'r un cyfarfod politicaidd y waith hon, nis gallwn feddwl am fyned i orffwys nos Sadwrn heb fvned i ganlyn y dyrfa fawr oedd yn dis- guyl am ganlyriad yr etholiad. Pan y daeth y newydd rhoddwyn bonllef iawn o groesaw i'r newydd da. Naturiol oedd i bleidwyr y Canghe.llydd yn y gwahanol leoedd dorri allan mewn lief fuddugoliaethus, Lloyd Ceorge for ever." Nid wyf yn meddwl y rg, bu yr un etholiad ac yr oedd riban melyn yn cael ei wisgo mor gyffredinol ym Man- gor a Chaernarfon ag yr oeddynt dydd Sadwrn, beth bynnag am y lleoedd eraill. Ni anturiodd VI. Austin Jones i'r ystafell ile y cyfrifid y pleidleisiau. Rhyfedd iawn oedd hyn. Mae yn ddigon posibl ei fod yn ofm mai derbyniad anghroesawgar a gaw- sai. Ni welais i y gwr ieuanc o gwbl. Credaf nad hawdd fydd ganddo gymeryd ei berswadio i anturio i'r etholaeth hon eto. Ob leg id oes yr oedd o fewn cyrraedd i glywed y dyrfa yn gwaeddi Lloyd George foi ever," y tydi hynny yn adspiLio yn ei glvstiau tra bydd byw. Byddv/n oil bellach yn disgwyl gwawr a lhvyddiant. Un o siomedigaethau mwyaf yr etholiad presennal i mi ydoedd aflvvyddiant Mr. Caradog Rees. Hyderaf y daw yr adeg v gwelir ef yn lhvyddo i ennill buddugoliaeth. Byrr iawn oedd yr amser a gafodd 1 gydnabyddu a'r ,.th, Iwn Tei.nla et yn -,aloir,og ar gyfer y dyfodol. YN Y DE. Cyfeiriais o'r blaen at ymgeisiaeth y Parch. William F. Phillips, B.A., yn Rhanbarth Gwyr. Cefais Darian y ('.weithiwr y dydd o'r blaen, ac mi a wn y bydd yn dda gan ewyllvswyr da h. Phillips ddeall beth a ddywedir am ei ob- eithion. Dyfynaf ychydig frawddegau — Nid oes dim wedi bod yn gymaint help i F Phillips a'r gwrthwynebiadau plen- tvnaidd a godir yn ei erbyn gan Sosiahaid yn ffafr John Williams. Gwelsom gyfar- fodydd allasent for yn ddiddrwg ddidda pe cawsai Mr. Phillips lonydd i siarad yn di- weddu yn frwdfiydig o'i blaid, a'r lliaws yn gwaeddi Dyua'r dyn i ni." Y mae yn un o'r rhai parotaf ei atebion a wrandaw- som erioed, a'i wybodaeth a'i allu yn ddi- amhauol." Y inae ei ddeheurwydd yn taflu atebion fel tanbelenau i'r cwestijnau a deflir ar ei draws, a'r terfysgwyr yn rhy Iwfr i ofyn cwestiwn ar y diwedd, yn ei wneud yn arwr y bobl." Dyma dystiolaeth addawol iawn i'r cyfaill ieuanc. Mae pobl Penmaenmawr yn teimlo dyddordeb yn yr ymgyrch hon, oblegid fod Mr. Phillips yn un o fechgyn y lie. Carwn ei weld yn llwyddo. Y REI FERENDWM. Mae ami i stori ddoniol wedi cael ei dweyd yn ystod yr etholiad yma. Clywais un heddyw a ddywedwyd mewn cyfarfod. Dywedai yr areithydd wrth gyfeirio at y gair uchod ei fod yn methu deall beth a olygid wrtho. Yr oedd yn pen iddo feddwl am ddosbarth :'n yr Ysgol Sul un tro yn dod at y gair cythlwng," yn y lie y sonir am oliwng y dyrfa ymaith ar eu cj^thlwng. Liofynai yr athraw farn y dosibarth o un i un ar y gair, ac o'r diwedd y mae yn dod at hei frawd a dybiai ei hun yn ddigon o awdurdod i ateb pob gofyniad. Wei, John Roberts," meddai yr athraw, beth ydych ch^.i yn feddwl olygir wrth y gair cythlwng yma? Wedi casglu ei* fedd- yJiau ynghyd, dywedodd yr hen frawd yn ddifrifol Wei, meddwl yr wyf fi mai rliyw fath o gythiaul a olygir wrth y I sail. Ddywedai ddim ihagor ar hyn. PREGETH SEARCHLfGHT." Yr oedd hon yn ddoniol iawn. Mae gennyf finau n hefyd. Ac os bydd ham- dden ceisiaf ei rhoddi yn y rhifyn nesaf. ANONESTRWYDD. Fe ddywedir fod pobpeth yn deg mewn cariad a rhyfel ond yr wyf yn meddwl mai anheg iawn oedd gwaith, y Toriaid ddydd Sadwrn yn argraffu hysbyslenjri a'u gosod or y muriau yn dweyd fod mwyafrif Mr. Asquith wedi ei dynnu i lawr 1,200. Wrth gwrs, amcan hyn oedd tynnu i lawr fwy- afrif Mr. Lloyd George hefyd, ond nid ateb- odd y diben, gan i fwyafrif y Canghellydd fyned i fyny er eu siomedigaeth fawr. Rhaid fod swm yr arian a werir gan y Tori- aid ar adeg etholiad yn aruthrol, gan eu bod yn gorchuddio cymaint ar y muriau gyda •' posters a phob math o ddarluniau arnynt. P'LE Y MAENT? Yn ystod yr etholiad presennol yr wyf wedi bod yn holi lie mae Mri. Arthur Hughes, Samuel Thompson, a D. Rhys, oedd mor amlwg yn yr etholiad diweddaf? Nid wyf wedi gweled dim o'u hanes. Posibl eu bod yn meddwl fod cystal iddynt gadw o'r golwg. Cawsent hwy amser dedwydd y tro o'r blaen am rai wythnosau, os nad misoedd. Feallai y gelwir hwy i'r frwydr eto rhyw ddydd a ddaw. CAN DDONIOL. Byddai beirdd y dyddiau gynt yn hoff o gyfansoddi cerdd ar wahanol destynau, ac yinddengys i mi fod yr awen wedi disgyn ar un o feirdd y gwastadedd. Deallaf fod y gerdd yn gymeradwy iawn yn y cylch; am hynny yr wyf yn ei rhoddi yn y Nodion. Trigolion Llangwstenyn, Dewch yma yn ddioed, Cewch hanes chwech o ddynion Xa fu eu bath erioed, Yn symud o hen berllan, Anaml iawn ei ceir, Rhyw fwthyn digon brigus At glwydo lot o- ieir.

NODION Llywarch Hen. Bravo Drefi Arfou, yn codi mwyafrif eu harwr. Ni synasom ddim at waith y Ceid- wadwyr yn ei orfodi i yrnladd brwydr arall. Casant ef vn anuwiol, ni fedrant un ymddyg. iad boneddigaidd ato, ni fedrant lefaru un gair da am dano. Nid pawb o honynt chwaith, ond dyna'r gwir am lu o'r arwein- wyr. Rhoddir y bai am ddwyn allan Mr. Austen Jones ar ddau Arglwydd. Rhaid rhoddir bai ar rywrai yn nhywle. 0 bosibl fod un o'r rhai hyn a Did yn ei falchter, weled o hono wr syml vn Ganghellyd y Trysorlys, yn rhoddi yn dda, ac yn cael gan roddi at -,efvdliadau nes bvddo C-A("eir- wyr eu synod yn diflanu i Ir cvsgod. Pobl fawr uwchlaw cenfigen! Oferedd yw meddwl felly. Ynddynt hwy caiff licn ddaear fras, a thrwyddynt hwy v medr hi bethau nerthol. Nid ydym yn gwarafun iddynt eu gorchest oblegyd y mae Mr. Llovd George uwchlaw cardota iddo ei sedd, gwell iddo ei chael yn ysbail brwydr. Rhyfedd pethau mor amwys yw pynciau etholiad, y maent fel cwyr, todda'r pleidiau hwy wrth eu tan gwleidyddol, a phlygant hwy i'r ystum y chwenycho eu calon. Dinistrio Ty"r Arglwyddi, hyn a glywir ar bob llaw. Nid oes dim yn rhaglen y Blaid Ryddfrydol yn son am newid iota yn ei gyfansoddiad, chwaethach ei ddinistrio. Ni fwriadant ddim mwy na chael ffordd i basio mesurau y byddo'r wlad yn gofyn am dain- ynt. Pan ddaw'r Veto i rym, ni ddaw i arfer, ond ar ychydig nodedig o weithiau: a hynny bron yn ddieithriad pan y byddo Ty'r, Bobl yn rhoddi ei law ar yr Ar- glwyddi eu hunain. Nid a mesur "Un dyn, un bleidlais," trwy'r Ty Uchaf ond trwy rym y Veto. Ni rydd yr Arglwyddi eu hawl i bleidleisio dros ddeg neu ugain o weithiau i fyny, ond ar eu gwaethaf. Ni cheir ymyr- aeth a'r Dafarn, ond trwy'r Veto. 0 her- wydd y mae masnach John Heiden yn dwyn cyfoeth i'r boneddwr, a deiliaid i'w blaid. Yn wir ymgyrch ddoniol oedd ymgyrch etholiad Trefi Dinbych. Danghosodd y Ceidwadwyr ymlyniad wrthi, a awydd ang- herddol am ei chadw. Dygasant eu gynau mawrion i'r gaer i'w chadw, a gwnaeth y Rhyddfrydwyr i raddau yr un peth. Enill v gaer oedd am-c.an y Rhyddfrydwyr, a chadw'r aelod, y mae'n ddiau, oedd amcan y Ceidwadwyr. Argrafhad llogell o Mr. F. E. Smith yw Mr. Ormsby Gore. Gwr pert a galluog ydyw. A ddaw ef a Mr. F. E. Smith yn hoelion bras eu plaid ar fyrder? Oni ddywaid rhywun ei fod yn anfoesgar, ac iddo lefaru rhai pethau anheilwng am ei wrthwynebydd yn y frwydr hon. Nid yw dynion galluog yn ddoeth bob amser ac y mae rhyw amser yn nhyfiant talent y tybir fod pob lach yn ffraethineb. Fe gaiff Mr. Balfour drafferth i gadw'r ddau yn y rhych, a chadw eu traed o fewn y tresi. Y maent yn bobl lied anibynol eu hysbryd a'u barn. 'it This one sided and rotten system yw darnodiad Mr. F. E. Smith o Fasnach Rydd. A chred ef y derfydd am yr aflwydd pe un- waith ei rhoddid o flaen y wlad trwy'r gogon- eddus Referendum." Ni wn am ba nerth- oedd cudd y meddyliai ef, y cadrodau fedrai alw i gamarwain y bobl: ond os rhoddir Tariff Reform i'r wlad fe'i gwrthodir a mwy- afrif mawr. Cyfreithiwr yw Mr. Smith, ac yn ol ei arfer a'i anian pleidia ei ochr ei hun boed gaan boed gymwys. Da i ni ddeall nad yw areithiau gwleidyddol rotten a one sided yn meddu dim nac yn cloffi hoywdra llwyddiant Masnach Rydd. Llithro ym mhellach, bellach, oddi wrth eu gilydd y mae'r ddwyblaid. Hen a Newydd yn nheulu Beirdd C'ymru; a phrin y mae breichiau cryfion heddwch yn ddigon i'w cadw rhag taro. Y mae'r Hen Ddosbarth. fel eu gelwir yn wyr o dalent, gwnaethant eu rhan i godi Cymru, a char y werin roddi iddynt glod a safle. Y Dos- barth Newydd yw'r ysgolorion gore, a hwy heb os yw meistri'r iaith. Nid da yng ngolwg pawb eu dull o ddringo'r ysgol. Beirniadant weithiau eu gilydd, a chyhoedd- ant heb floesgni na phetrusder eu rhagor- iaethau, gan roddi eu gilydd y naill ax ol y Hall yn brif feirdd y Genedl. Fel rheol y maent yn agos iawn i'w lie yn eu gwaith, ond mai harddach fuasai i eraill roddi'r clod. Yn ol y clorianiad ddiweddaf, Elfed yw'r gore o'r Hen Dosbarth. Heb os y mae Elfed yn y rhes flaenaf; ond pan lewyrch- odd gyntaf, yr oedd mor newydd, nes ofnai rhai mai goleuni gwlad Germany oedd ei oleuni. Omd yw'n barddoniaeth yn myned trwy rhyw adeni ofnadwy. Hi heneiddia mewn undydd unos. Ni sonir fawr am Geiriog ond y mae'r wlad yn ei ddarllen a'i ddysgu yn fwy na neb arall. Dyna sail mawredd Wele eto un yn rhagor o ymladd gampau Esgob Llanelwy ym mhlaid ei Eglwys. Gogoniant ei areithiau yw ei ddiffyg medr ofnadwy i drin ffigyrau, neu ei fedrusrwvdd dieithr i greu ffigyrau a ffeithiau i'w bwrpas ei hun. Yn ol yr Esgob Z121,000 yw swim y degwm yng Nghymru, ond yn ol Adrodd- iad y Ddirprwyaeth y mae yn £ 135,000. O'r bobl sy'n taiu degwm yn ein gwlad, nid oes o honynt ddeg y cant yn Ymneillduwyr, ebrai'r Esgob. Yn union fel arall y mae, oddeutu go y cant yn Ymneilltuwyr ac oddeutu 10 y cant yn Eglwyswyr. Dan rai amgylchiadau y mae cant y cant o'r rhai sy'n talu degwm yn Ymneilltuwyr, o herwydd y mae rhai eglwysi plwyfol yn ein gwlad heb gymaint ag un Cymunwr ynddynt. (Gwel Adroddiad y Ddirprwyaeth.) Ym- resvma'r Esgob, a siarada am y Methodist- iaid fel yr enwad cryfaf yng Nghymru.— But what percentage of the population did -they think the Calvinistic Methodist were in the counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth, which contained half the population of Wales. Why, they were not one in twenty, and the same could be said about the Baptist." Gallasai'r Esgob ychwanegu: •• The same could be said about the Church of England." Tawodd gan adel i'w wran- dawyr dynu camgasgiiad. Yn ei frawddeg dawyr dynu camgasgiiad. Yn ei frawddeg nesai arweiniodd hwy ar gyfeiliorn-" The fact was that the Church was everywhere, whilst the Nonconformists were only strong in oertain patches." Dysg yr Esgob yr ehud i gredu fod Morganwg a Mynwy yn certain patches y mae'r Ymneilltuwyr yn wan, ar Eglwys wrth reswm ym mhob man. Ilona'r pethau cyfeiliornus hyn ar bwys Adroddiad y Ddirprwyaeth," ond er ein syndod dyma ddywed hwnw am ddarpax- iaeth grefyddol yr Eglwys a'r Ymneilltuwvr gogyfer a myrddiynau Morganwg: — Mynwy.—I'oblogaeth, 298,076. lusteddleoedd eglwysi Eglwys Loegr, 50,465.

( ymumvyr yr Ymneilltuwvr, 203,070. it Onid yw'n rhyfedd fod gwr o safle'r Esgob yn cainanvain pobl rnor nfnadwy. 0 Ad- roddiad y Ddirprwyaeth Eglwysig y mae'r uchod wedi eu cymeryd, ac nid oes gan yr Esgob un esgus dros ei waith rhyfedd. Ni chaniata gofod i ni fyned ar ol amryw beth- au anhygoel eraill a lefarodd. Hwyrach yr esbonia'r Esgob y tro nesaf y ddau adrodd- lad anghyson roddwyd am ei Esgobaeth- dau adroddiad am gymunwvr ei Esgobaeth, a'r gwahaniaeth yn dros chwe mil. Wrth reswm yr adroddiad neilltuol i'r Ddirprwy- aeth yw'r uchaf ei rif. Os na fedr am- ddiffyn ei Eglwys yn deg, gwell gadel iddi o herwydd y mae amddiffyn un o golofnau'r gwirionedd a throsolion anwir yn rhyfedd i feddwl am dano. Onid yw'n rhyfedd fod Eglwys, yr unig Eglwys o Olvniaeth Apos- tolaidd, yn amddiffyn ariangarwch a gau resymau. Cwyddom oil nad yw cariad at gyfoeth yn fendith ar olyniaeth.

"His Pets Defeated." To the Editor of THE WEEKLY NEWS. Sir,—I was amused at reading a letter under the above heading in your last issue anent the Llandudno-Colwyn Bay cup-tie at Llandudno, when Colwyn Bay were the vic- tors. So-called Fairplay" asks Whait will Vigilant have to say? as to the de- feat of Llandudno. What I have said ap- peared in the cold print of last week's is. sue, and I am somewhat honoured by the Colwyn Bay shower of praise which has followed my report. The statement of FairpJay" that I was anxious to evade all supporters of the Colwyn Bay Club is a wicked invention. Councillor Purdy and Mr. J. O. Davies can vouch for the fact that I was art the headquarters of Colwyn Bay-the Avondale—for a long time, and kindly asked by the first-named gentleman to join him at tea, which on principle I de- clined. Further, I was in the company of Colwyn Bay friends until late in the even- ing. The question really is, Was Fair- play," as he styles himself, at the match at all? What I have said regarding the ground of Colwyn Bay being in my opinion from a gliance jfroan the it and najrrciwer at one end than another is an opinion shared by more persons than myself. But more than this I will not say, but that the least said about the dimensions of (the Colwyn Bay ground the better. He should surely be a little more careful about his facts is a piece of advice given to me that evidently would eminently suit Mr. Fairplay." VIGILANT.

Rhyl Police Court. MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL AS REFORMER. MAKING THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME. A HUMANE DOCUMENT. At the Rhyl Police Court on Tuesday, before Mr. T. D. Jones (in the chair), Mr. J. H. Ellis and Mr. J. Frimstone, Mr. Gamlin, the Clerk, submitted an important circular letter which has just come to hand with refer- ence to the question of committal in default of costs. The circular was as follows Sir, I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that he has under his consideration the ques- tion of the committal to prison of offenders in default of the payment of penalties which consist mostly of costs and especially of fees pa>ableto Justices' Clerks. In a particular case which has come to his notice he finds that a first offender convicted on two charges of a trivial kind was ordered to pay costs, amounting on each charge to 10s. The fine imposed in each case was is. and a term of imprisonment to be served in default was seven days. Being in a humble position and out of employment. the defendant was unable to pay the full amount of 2 2«r., and in lieu of distress committments were issued against him, for which in each case a further fee of 3s. became due. The cost of his conveyance to prison, for which he then became further liable, amounted to 4s. 2d. Such a case as this appears to Mr. Churchill to constitute an ACTUAL MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. When the offence proved is of such a charac- ter that it may properly be expiated by a fine, the payment of the fine is clearly preferable in every way 10 the committal of the offender to prison if he is made to pay the fine, with the full amonnt of costs added. Not only is an offender subjected to imprisonment when a pecuniary penalty would be more appro- priate to his offence, but the county or borough fund to which the fine would be paid loses the benefit of it, and the cost of the offender's conveyance to gaol and his maintenance there falls on the taxpayer. Mr. Churchill is aware that the total amount of costs up to and including the conviction, or at all events the amount of the court fee, de- pends in the first instance on a fixed scale, which the justices have no power to modify, and that it is a common prartice to treat the costs and the fine as together forming the penalty, and to impose a merely nominal fine when the amount of costs is high. He cannot think this practice leads to satisfactory results. He entirely agrees with the view expressed in the circulars issued from the Home Office on the 23rd day of March, 1891, and 31st day of December, 1906, that it is likely to lead to serious misconception and excite disatisfaction with the mode in which justice is administered. He is further of opinion that in many cases, such as the case referred to above, the imposition on a con- victed defendant of the full amount of costs may in itself constitute a penalty that is quite disproportionate to the offence if it involves a committal to prison in default. The t justices are expressly vested with power to remit in whole or in part any fee for which their clerk has to account, and this may be done for poverty or other reasonable cause." It seems, therefore, clear to Mr Churchill that when a defendant is convicted of an offence punishable by a fine, it is the duty of the court in the first instance to consider whether he is in a position to pay the costs already in- curred and to aim at making such an order as will impose on him a pecuniary penalty which is not disproportionate to his means The severity of the punishment which a pecuniary penality carries with it depends entirely on the means of the offender the same penalty may to one man be unappreciable to another it may involve a serious pecuniary sacrifice, while to a third it must if enforced eventually lead to a committal to prison. To secure EQUALITY OF PUNISHMENT. Therefore, it is very necessary that courts should carefully consider the means of the defendant before making any order for the payment of costs or imposing a fine, and that they should bear in mind that the costs which a convicted defendant can be ordered to pay under Section 18 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1848, are only such as may seem to the justices to be "just and reasonable." Mr. Churchill feels sure that there are many cases where imposition of the full amount of costs constitutes in itself a punishment that is more than sufficient for the offence proved. In such cases only a part of the costs should be im- posed on the defendant, and the remainder should be remitted. Mr. Churchill believes that the views expressed above are incontro- vertible, but he regrets that so far as he can ascertain they are generally disregarded in practice, and it is. in fact, rare for a convicted defendant to be ordered to pay anything less than the full amount of costs, however large that amount may be. He will be glad, there- fore if you will bring the matter specially before the justices of your Bench as one of serious importance. He observes with regret that of the total number of persons fined the proportion that go to prison in default of pay- ment increases every year, and that many persons for trivial infringements of the law which Parliament has considered to be pro- perly punishable by fine are sent to prison solely on account of their inability to pay the full amount of the costs.—I am, &c., EDWARD TROCP. Mr. J. H. Ellis said that it was A VERY GOOD CIRCULAR, and he thought that they in that court had always acted in accordance with the spirit of it. Mr. Gamlin said that he quite agreed with Mr. Ellis, seeing that on several occasions they had remitted part of the costs. It was a strange co-incidence, but that morning they would have the opportunity of applying the principle laid down in the circular to a case which had to come before them in the form of an application for process against a young donkey-driver, 17 years of age. who had been fined some months ago for touting on the Promenade. The defendant however had not paid either the fine or the costs, and had showed no gratitude for the leniency shown him. What were they to do under such circumetances ? Were they to send the defendant to gaol—thereby increasing the expense-or were they to wipe the matter off the books and let the whole process be a perfect fiasco ? Mr. Ellis pointed out that in view of the fact that the lad hnct left the district it wcpuld reqire more money to go after him to effect his arrest than the affair was worth. He would feel inclined to wipe the matter off. Mr. Gamlin This circular is simple in theory but DIFFICULT IN PRACTICE. It was decided to hold the m atter in sus- pense by adjourning it sine die.

In the unavoidable absence of the vice-president, Mr Simon Williams, the chair was taken by Mr Parsonage. SALEM LITERARY SOCIETY. The Rev. O. Evans, Colwyn Bay gave a very interesting and edifying address to this society on his sojourn in America. The members were highly gratified, and expressed their appreciation by close attention and a warm vote of thanks. UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY.— already there exists in Colwyn Bay a great "deal of proverty, chiefly owing to the lack of employment for heads of families engaged in season work. There are, for example, married men shop assistants who can only obtain work during periods of pressure in their particular trades, and who therefore find themselves unable to support their families during the present inclement time of the year. Poverty is no new thing at Colwyn Bay, neither is charity, but it is full time that the work of relievi*»# tin, neecty -SHouId be placed on a better basis. At Llandudno and Rhyl, the relief work is organised on a businesslike plan, which produces many great advantages. For the want of such a system at Colwyn Bay, there are some destit ute families who receive nothing whilst their neigbours receive more good things than they know what to do with. The relief of the starving should not be left to the churches and chapels, but should be a town's affair, and suct. an organisation as we snggest would be more just both to those who give and those who receive. But if any movement of this sort is to be taken in hand it must be done quickly. (Continued on page 11.)
