Notes and News.
Notes and News. THE Conservatives have invaded South Wales this week. There was not a single Welsh speaker amongst the lot; but there was the inevitable Scot in the person of Mr. Bonar Law. THE new labour candidate for Swansea is a Scot, named Stuart. It is scandalous to think that there is no Welshman good enough to come forward as Labour candidate for Abertawe. What with a Scot M.P. for Merthyr, and a Scot M.P. in Monmouth, and a probable Scot Conservative candidate in South Glamorgan, it looks as if the Harry Lauders are going to capture the southern portion of the Principality. THE Anglican Ritualists are making in- sidious attempts, in Glamorgan, to get the people back to the gross superstitions of the middle ages; but the people are showing their disinclination in an unmistakable manner. At Barry, for instance, one of these superstitious retailers was practically boycotted. SOCIALISM is making tremendous progress in Glamorganshire. Socialist candidates for the Rhondda, Cardiff, and East Glamorgan are the possibilities of the next Parlia- mentary election. ALDERMAN WILSON, the Mayor of Merthyr for the ensuing year, is a working collier living at Treharris. He is a native of Here- fordshire, but migrated with his parents when a boy to the Glamorganshire town. The Mayor is a Socialist. FORTUNE has favoured Mr. Leason Thomas with "a bit on both ways." On Saturday evening he was presented with a wedding gift by the Glamorgan Society, London, of which he is hon. secretary. While that ceremony was being enacted at the Holborn Restaurant burglars visited his residence at Acton. They were disturbed by the police and made off, but carried away some loose cash, a scarfpin, a watch, and a few other articles. MR. VINCENT THOMAS'S new opera, "Enid," will be the chief event of the coming week. All Welsh music lovers should pay a visit to the Royal Court Theatre to support this venture. DISESTABLISHMENT will be the principal cry on the political platform during the next few months. A bill dealing with the Welsh Disestablishment question is now being drafted for the coming spring session of Parliament. MR. JOHN REDMOND has been advocating Home Rule for Ireland" among the Denbighshire miners. Have any of our M.P.'s paid a visit to Ireland to advocate the cause of Welsh Disestablishment ? MR. REDMOND said that as Welshmen had helped to Disestablish the Church in Ireland .the Irish would help the Welsh to Disestab- lish the Church in Wales. THE statement which appeared in these columns some weeks ago as to a Tariff Reform candidate for Anglesey has been confirmed by the choice of Mr. R. 0. Roberts by the selection committee of the Anglesey Conser- vative Association. AT Bangor, on Friday last, Mr. Lloyd George received the honorary degree of LL.D. conferred upon him by the Welsh University. The right honourable gentle- man received a rousing welcome from the students on his visit to the town. SIR HERBERT ROBERTS, M.P., has given £1,000 towards the building fund of the Bangor University College. THE influenca of Welsh literature upon Welsh politics would make an interesting study. The late Tom Ellis loved Ceiriog and Morgan Llwyd, and it is said that the Member for Anglesey knows Alun Mabon by heart. Mr. Lloyd George, at Llangollen, quoted Ceiriog. One of the happiest points made by the Solicitor-General, at Carnarfon, the other day, hung on his quotation of a verse from loan Emlyn's famous Bedd y DynTylawd":— 'Nol hir frwydro a thrafferthion, Daeth i ben ei ingol rawd Noddfa dawel rhag anghenion Ydyw bedd y dyn tylawd." "We," added Sir Samuel," "would give him a refuge before the grave." Ceiriog and loan Emlyn little thought the time would come when they would be quoted by members of the Government, and when their verses would influence the counsels of the Empire. ABERYSTWYTH College still maintains its character of premier Welsh College. At the present time four-fifths of the number of its students are drawn from among the county schools of Wales.
