Tjdt. late criticisms of the Education Department on elsli schools have been abundantly answered It may be that most of them ha.d little or no jus- tification in fact, but experts are nevertheless aware that education in NWales, and in many' parts of England for that matter, is still a. long wuy from what it ought to L e. It is pleasant to learn that in Wiales at any rate there is to he an increase in the output of teachers, and that in- creased facilities for training young aspirants to the profession will be given in the near future. At Bangor accommodation is to be increased a train- ing school at Aberystwyth is talked of, and this project has received hearty support from the Car- diganshire County Council—a course of action, however, which the councils of Pembrokeshire and Brecknockshire have sternly declined to follow, j Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire have already sot about the building of two new colleges, and, on the whole, there is some promise for the educa- tional future of the Principality. The action of the Cardiganshire County Coureil is quite iii-tel- ligible because three-fourths if the money noces- | sary for building and equipment would be fur- nished by the Education Department, and some £ 7,000 a year would be spent -at Aberystwyth grants, fees and so on. Despite this movement for additional training schools and colleges, it must be confessed that the Welsh counties showing no burning anxiety to multiply trained teachers in their schools. Certainly there is no great rush for the appointments offered, and this being go, many people conclude that there is still dearth of teachers. The" Standard recently commented on an advertisement in the Schoo-- mas'er," showing xhat one Welsh authority was j offering a headmistress R70 a, year, and a head- muster jE90, whilst uncertificited teachers were being asked for at the rate of C45 per annum. No wonder, says our London contemporary, in re ferring to the Aberystwyth project, that one of the members of the Cardiganshire County Coun- cil expressed his views in a strong manner. He is reported to have said The scheme was idiotic and insane. Let them pass the scheme and send I it to Nelson's rronument in London, where there wer-o some 3,000 unemployed teachers, and see whvit they would do with it. What would the National Union of Teachers, when they came to Aberyst-vyth, say of the (scheme, seeing that thousands of teachers were ui able to et ap- pointments?" All this seems very phtSible, b; 11 there will be [In increased demand, we are con- vinced. for trained, as compartd with uncertifi- | eated, teachers in the'near future. And this ten- dency will be -ecelerated in our part of the coun- try by having additional provision for training them efficiently in Wales. We shall oe obliged, however unwillingly, to keep pace with other civilised countries, and necessity, if not common- seoise, will teach us that there is no saving in em- ploying inferior teachers at reduced salaries. Juni or classes, if badly taught, have to unlearn a good deal before they can begin a real scholarly training.

The funeral takes place on Saturday, at Peniel. THE CARMARTHEN POSTMASTER.—It has long been our practice to take some notice of the advent of new officials to the town, but a variety of other matters hes prevented us during the past few weeks from referring to the new head postmaster of Car- martben, Mr W. Evans, who has lately taken over the duties here in succession to Mr J. D. Jones, the present postmaster of Llandudno. Mr Evans, although be looks comparatively young, has bad a good deal of experience. He began his career in Bala, and afterwards went to Stockport, where he served uuderMr James, a former postmaster of Carmarthen, who is still well remembered here. After some years' service there, Mr Evans was in 1901 appointed postmaster at Holywell. In 1906 he was promoted to be postmaster of Holyhead, where be remained until his appointment to Car- marthen.

He leaves a widow and five children to mourn his loss. The funeral took place on Tuesday, at St. David's Churchyard. Mr R. B. Davies officiated at the house and the Rev Aldred Williams at the church and graveside. The chief mourners were-: Mr D. A. Daniels, Ferryside (brother) Mr W.

Mr Henry Jones, of Llandyssul. offered for sale, at the Wilkes Head Assembly Rooms, Llandyssul, the gardens and premises formerly known as Troedrhiwgribyn and Gate, but now known as and constituting Morris-terrace, situated in the parish of Llanfibangel-ar arth, Carmarthenshire, near the Wilkes Head Hotel, and bounded on the west by the road leading from Llandyssul to New Quay- road Railway Station. The property, which is freehold, was offered in one lot, and the four houses were withdrawn at £ 410. They were then offered in lots of two houses each. Nos. 1 and 2 were withdrawn at JE340, at which price also the second lot (Nos. 3 and 4) was withdrawn. Put up separately, Lot 1, starting at E80, was knocked down for X130 to Miss Rachel Rees, Pengraigwen, who also bought Lot 2 at £120.

NEWCASTLE-EMLYN.
NEWCASTLE-EMLYN. DEATH.-Late lust Monday evening the Rev. W.. Powell, vicar of Newcastle Emlyn. received a wire informing him that Mrs. Jones, wife of the Rev. H. Jones, vicar of Cenarth, had died near Marseilles. Àh. and Mrs. Jones were returning from a tour through Palestine and Egypt. Mrs. Jones, who was a. native of Ystradmeurig, had made a large circle of friends during her five years' stay at Cenarth. The sad death is all the more unfortunate as Mr. Jones's induction ser- vices to the vicariate of Llaugeler Henllan, were to have taken place on the 29th of this month. The body will probably be brought home for in- terment.
TUMBLE.
TUMBLE. SOCCER. "A League match was played on the People's Park last Saturday between the New Dock Albions and Tumble. In the first half the game was strenuously contested, the Albions being slightly the better team. The Albions opened the scoring after about ten minutes plav through Dig- by, tiie outside left. A little later the Albions again scored, this time through Robey. After this unexpected reverse Tumble improved their play. and eventually scored in a scramble near the Albions' goal just on half-time. Half-time score: New Dock Albions, 2 goals Tumble, 1 goal. Soon after the kick-off in the second ha f the Albions started pressing, and completely outplayed their opponents. Peynolds opened the scoiing in the second half for the Albions after beating about halfa-dozen of the Tumble men with a shot that gave the goal-keeper no chance. About the* minutes from time Price scored again for the Al- bions with a beautiful shot. Final score: New Dock Albions, 4 goals Tumble, 1 goal. Next Sat- urday the Albions play Pontardulais away, when another precious record will be at stake.

THE anticipations so general when we last ad- dressed our readers have been fulfilled. Parlia- ment is to be immediately dissolved, and the general election will be over oy Christinas. The contests in our own district will not be the least exciting of the elections. West Carmarthensliii o seemsto be a veritable. Eden in the eyes of poli- ticians, for it is attracting candidates from all parts. Mr. JoneS Cremlyn, no doubt, thought that, once Mr. Lloyd Morgan was out of the way. there would be a good opening for a Conservative, but then he has probably reckoned without the host of picked Liberals who are rushing in from London, Carmarthen, Pembrokeshire and else where. The electors of the West may well con. gratulate themselves on possessing such an, embarras de richesse." As we write the Liberal Association are about to hold a meeting, and it may be surmised that despite the plethora of candidates, they will not be long in inaking ther choice. Sir Owen Philipps, who is very popular all over the district, has announced his intention of jesigning his seat for the Pembroke Boroughs. and as it is understood that he is coming to live at Coomb, almost in the heart of the constituency, he wi'l be selected, we should say, almost as a matter of course. The Pembroke Boroughs are alresdy provided with brand rew candidates of both colours, and in East Carmarthenshire we shall this time hav-3 a real Labour candidate, who is by jio means likely to retire in the interests of either Whigs or Tories. There, too, the Conser- vatives will, doubtless, fight, although it is not certain who will carry their star dard, seeing that Mr. Mervyn Peel, who has been requested to champion the cause, has not, up to the moment of writing, given a definite decision. Mr. Mar- lay Samson, who contested the county of Pem- broke so vigorously at last election, has again consented to undertake the task of wresting the seat from Mr. Roch. Both are strong candidates, and the issue will be decided almost entirely by political considerations, because local and personal influences are pretty equally divided. Thus it will be seen that in our local constituencies there is every prospect of good hard fighting. [For once the gift of prophecy has failed us. Since the abo/e re (narks were penned We lftirn that the Liberal Association has selected as tkeir candidate Mr. Jchn Hinds of Blnekheath, who had a majority of two in the final vote.]

THE question, of how the country wishes the House of Lords to be dealt with will form the chief issue at the coming election, and it is well to ask ourselves what is wrong with the Upper Chamber, and how the wrong is to be remedied. As might be expected, a lot of rubbish is, through ignorance or wilful misrepresentation, being talked and written on this subject. When cer- tain people tell us that the question of the hour is whether the Lords or the people shall govern, we can only echo Mr. Burchell in the Vicar of Wakefield," and cry Fudge." The idea of Single-Chamber Government is too monstrous to be entertained or discussed, and one of the main functions of a Second Chamber, as we all know, is to delay legislation when that course seems to be the safest and most desirable to pursue. Many highly democratic measures hav3 been carried in recent years, several of them on the initiation ot the present Government, and they would not be law to-day if the Lords had not passed them. To talk of the Lords thwarting the clearly expressed will of the nation is absolute nonsense, which should not deceive the veriest babe in political knowledge. Yet it cannot be doubted that the House of Lords calls for radical reform. The fault of the Upper House as at present consti- tuted is not that it blocks legislation unduly, but that it is disposed on most occasions to block the measures of a particular party. The Peers are certainly a patriotic body of men according to their lights, and wish to promote the welfare of the country, but they have come to be regarded as party men rather than patriots. There are some grounds for this impression. Mr. Balfour's Government may send up a measure containing very Radical clauses—such, for instance, as Mr. Ritchie's County Cotncil Act, and Mr Balfour's Education Act of 1902—-and the Lords will pass it through with very little demur, or none at all. On the other hand, when a Liberal Government asks their consent to a Bill which might appear less objectionable from a Conservative standpoint, the chances He that the Peers will say, Oh, we can- not pass anything so revolutionary as this unless you appeal to the country again, and oltain t. special mandate from the constituencies!" This is one of the chief ways in which the Second Chamber needs to be reformed. It should con- tain a large element of Liberal or non-political men, sufficient to save it from the reputation of being a, mere party tool. In any case, it is most desirable that candidates at the coming election should be prepared to say exactly how they and their party intend to treat these" respectable and well-meaning Peers," as Mr. Churchill has lately termed them. It is the interest of Lib- erals especially to be explicit on this point, for already prominel t members of that party, like Mr J. D. Rees and Mr H. B. M. Coutts are deserting the old camp, owing to a belief that we are in danger of having the Second Chamber abolished or reduced to a state of perfect im- potency. Mr. Coutts says he cannot vote Liberal until he knows that there will be some real. and not sham, Second Chamber. In fact, he says, "I would rather have Lords and Veto than an tm- controlled and uncon.trollable House of Com- j mons." Every student of history knows what a House of Commons without any check may come to. Even Oliver Cromwell himself felt obliged on one occasion to bundle the people's supposed re- presenta,tives out of the House in a body, bag and baggage. Mr. Coutts is not. the only Liberal who will require to know clearly before voting for them, what the new Liberals contemplate doing in this great constitutional matter, and all eancli- i dates, as we have said, ought to be ready to speak on this point very plainly and definitely.

THE Carmarthen milk-sellers have, vulgarly speak- ing, made a mess of it. By attempting to extort fouvpence a quart for their- produce they have not only inflicted much damage on the population of the town, but have seriously injured their own interests as well. Most of them have already lost numbers of their best customers. At Burry Port the milk-ielling farmers formed a little co- operative society, or a ring," lather, and raised" the price of milk to 3-Jd. per quart. The Carmar- then men tried to beat this record by charg- ing fourpenee a quart, or sixteen pence a. gallon, although they are well aware that neighbouring farmers who send by train to Swansea and other markets receive only 6jd. a gallon in summer and 8d. in winter. A few of the milk-sellers had the sense to stick to the old price of threepence per quart, and the best customers are naturally going to them for their milk supply. The worst fea- ture of the case, how ever, is that the whole trade is suffering, and that the consumption of milk in the town has gone down to an extraordinary ex- tent. One of the vendors with whom we have spoken on the subject, sorrow-fully admits that he has already lost the sale of nine gallons a. day. Grocers and provision dealers are only too de lighted at the turn which things have taken, foi there is a tremendous increase in the demand for condensed milk and preparations of that nature oil the part of people w ho never tried them be- fore, but had long bought two quarts per diem from the milk-sellers. From what we have heard in the poorer parts of the town and in Johnstown and other outlying quarters, we should venture to say that hundreds of poor children are now be- ing deprived of the small daily quantity of milk which their parents endeavoured to procure for them up to the time of the rise." The poor are the real sufferers, for the well-to-do will man- age fairly well by using condensed milk and other substitutes. In the long run the -mlk seller s themselves will suffer, and in fact they are, as we have said, finding that out already. Sooner or later the local milk-vendors will have to return to the old price, and the sooner the better.

FOOTISALL.—WHITLAND V. PEMKBOKE.—This West of Llanelly League match took place on Saturday last, at Whitland. Pembroke won the toss, and as soon as the ball was put into play it was evident that the visitors were beut on playing a rushing game, and thus forced Whitland to act on the defensive Whitland, however, relieved by smart kicking on tiin part of the baefcs, and play waged around the half-way line. Much scrambling play was indulged in, and then the Whitland forwards showed their capabilities by fast following up and un- erring tackling, much to the dejightoi the crowd. From this to half-time the Whitland youngsters were not to be denied, and experienced haid luck on more thah one oceasioa. It was the safe play of the full-back and two centres of the visitors that averted a score. Half-time, came with no score on either side. On the re-starr Pembroke, being much the heavier iot, penned Whitland in their own 2o for quite a quarter of an hour, and it speaks highly of the keen defence set up by the Whitland backs that no s^ore wai registered in the mean time. However, by clever touch-rinding, contri- buted by Legge, Griffiths, and Rees, Whitland secured footing in the visitors' 25, and from this juncture play waxed hot and some (lever and exciting move- ments were witnessed. Eventually, after persistent attacks on the part of the Whitland three- quarters Maurice Rees secured, and after eluding two or three opponents gave a splendid pass to Pieton, who grasped the opportunity and, sprinting a few yards in a determined fashion, crossed the line about three minutes before the whistle went. The phee kick failed. Result: Whitland, 1 try; Pembroke, nil. Whitland forwards and backs played the best game of the season. Practice alone is needed, and then more successes will be gained. Play up, and beat Llatigwm next Satur- day ORGAN RECITAL. —A grand organ recital took place last Monday evening at the Tabernacle, Whitland. It was given by Mr Donald Lott, Swansea, on the occasion of the opening of the Tabernacle after the renovation and the building of a new organ. The meeting was ably presided over by Mr Alfred Howells, Swansea, who, we understand, assisted materially both in the arrangements and financially. The Rev G. Higgs, B A., in introducing Mr Howells, spoke of him as a Whitland boy who had not forsaken his mother's church and native place. The chairman stated that be had the greatest pleasure in being amongst his old friends, which brought bask memories of joy and sorrow mingled together, and that made the position he was in that night more difficult to fulfil, and also he was not much accustomed to that particular sphere of life. The new organ is a beautiful instrument, and will prove a great boon to the singing at the Tabernacle. The brethren at Tabernacle have been particularly energetic during the last few months in collecting towards the organ fund, and have ucceeded in raising sufficient to pay for the organ. with a sum of JElO surplus, which has been handed over to the treasurer to be utilised for other purposes. The foliowiug was the programme — Overture, Mr Lott; solo, "Soldiers of Christ arise," Mr Amos Jones: solo, "Hear ye, Israel," Miss Lewis organ, Piece Legere," Mr Lott sole, Father of Heaven," Miss Stephens duett, What have I to do with thee, 0 man of God," Miss Lewis and Mr Jones organ, Fantasia upon Ewing," Mr Lott; organ, Internesso from Cavelleria Rusticana," Mr Lott; solo, "OrNiwl ir Nef," Miss Stephens (en- cored) ",olo.

The following were the artistes: Soprano, Miss Maggie Lewis (" Lliuos Arlw,.dd"), Waunarlwydd: contralto, Miss Winnie Stephens, Llanstephan; bass, Mr J. Amos Jones, Llanelly. The usual vote of thanks to the artistes and chairman was proposed by the Rev. Wm. Thomas, who made complimentary remarks regarding the artistes, and especially the chairman for bis kind support. Great credit is due to Mr Tom Davies and his friends for their untiring perseverance in bringing the project to have an organ at the Tabernacle to a successful issue. What they said at the football mat-,h Whitland v. Pem- broke, which was played at Whitland on Saturday last That Mr Joily, of Neyland, was one of the fairest and fastest referees who has ever refereed at Whitland.

That J. Berry was knocked out by the ball from a flying kick catching him on the mark That Mr Evans, of Nantyreglwys, who has seen, many a fine game of football in South Africa, was-very pleased with the display given by the Whitland backs, although he would have liked to have seen a more open, game. That Hughie Phillips (captain) once got through the scrum with the ball at his toes, when the best dribble of the day occurred. That the try which Whitland scored was got in the following manner. The forwards heeled out smartly in their opponents' 25. Tim Lewis, instead of throwing the ball as usual to his outside half, slung it to D. M. Rees, who, after drawing the defence on to himself, gave a grand pass to Tommy Picton, who took it in fine- style when on the run, and gaUoped over near the corner flag with a grand try. That the cheers which followed the score could be heard at Crynga Bach about two miles off. That all the Whitland forwards played a good game. That L. Jones, the outside half, has a safe pair of hands. That Clement, the full back, had but very little to do. That he did that little well. That the Whitland tradesmen don't patronise the game as they ought to. That those people who denounce everything but their own depressing and farcical prayer meetings were not present. That the final result was:-Whitland, one try Pem- broke, nil.
