—;—Swansea Master Builders' Association receiving no sympathy from the Corporation over their letter to the Press. -In reference to tenders for work costing over £ 300 without bills of quanti- ties.? Y 00. The fact is, not only are. the specifications and detailed plans' open to inspection, but in the case of small proper- ties—like the Corporation houses—there is said to be no necessity whatever to supply bills of quantities. I am not a builder mv- self, but I do think the Association might well revise their ruies in this direction. Indeed, tho Swansea builders have them- selves to thank for the fact that outside firms have been imported into the district to carry out,the local housing schemes. -What a great part personality plays m elections. A greater part than policies or prin- ciples? -Perhaps not quite so great, but its influence is tremendous, nevertheless. Think of the Cardiff result. Personality played an enormous part in that election. Lord Ninian Stuart, a man of bluff, hearty, manly sentiments, a striking personality, had as an opponent a gentleman who can- not be said to possess those picturesque qualities, which appeal to the British pub- lic. And the inevitable happened. The man "with' a way wid him" won the con- test. Suppose it would bo difficult to esti- mate how many votes were given to Lord Nfniaji out of personal liking? Yes, but they were a good many, I'll warrant. Well, good old Cardiff, anyhow! Same here. -One thing has struck me very forcibly of late, and that is the marked ab- sence of heavy lists of charges in the police courts. Can't say that I have noticed it. -Comparatively speaking, of course. In the rural districts, more particularly, there appears to be a diminution of drunkenness and crime. -How do you account for it? The General Election? Possibly. People, perhaps, are too busy discussing the political .sitnation and awaiting election results than to gBt into trouble. brlt a more feasible explanation it appears to me is the approach of Xmas. A sort of feeling of good-will to all men existing, you mean? I L Not at «,)!. The festivities which Xmas brings in its trains necessitates a heavy outlay of money. Consequently the poor and middle classes are reserving all their surplus cash for the festive season, which proves a great strain upon many a purse, as ChrLstmas dinners, presents, trees, cards, etc., all have to be paid for. t Well it is a possible explanation. • » A crusade suggested, I see, against whooping cough and measles. -Very prevalent diseases that should be as rare as small-pox. -I quite agree with you, but strange to say, th3 general view is that measles is a mild disease which everybody must have, and that whooping cough is another child's complaint of no serious consequence. And the fact? Why, that both are most deadly dis- eases. According to the Reg; strar-Geii er returns measles is second only to whooping con in being the most deadly of all dis- eases. It causes each year on an average a\¡out 10.0CO deaths chiefly among children under one year of age. It is a wonder to me there is not a hospital for the treatment of measles and whooping coug'i. I am assure(i that the provision of one would save hundreds of lives, and perhaps be the means of stamping out. the disease. Why, there are several small-pox hospitals. And most often empty, I'm happy to say. Yes, and some serious steps should be taken to stamp out measles and whooping ,p o I cough. Anyhow, it is as well that it should bo made known that the ideas of most people respecting measles especially are absolutely fallacious. Do you rink? Certainly not, sir. Never touched a drop in my life. -1 said "rink." -011 I beg your pardon. Well, I can't say I do at present I used to a great deal at one time, but I find that I have not much time for it. What's your opinion of rolleT-skating ? -An excellent recreation. Exercises the body, whilst at the same time affording pleasure. Am very fond of it still, but, as I said before, I can't spare the time like I could once. --In other words, you have tired of it. You mav not think so, but it is a fact never- theless. Popular taste for amusement is notoriously fickle, and roller-skating, in my opinion, is declining rapidly in popularity. Can't agree with you. You have only to look at the rinks in the district on a Sat- urday night to see them swarming with people. But yon must remember that there was a time wheu on six nights and not one night in tho week that it occurred. The only reason why the craze has lasted so long is because it affords both sexes an oppor- tunity of intermingling, and a rink in con- sequence becomes a social centre. -You arc quite wrong. Rinking still continues popular purely on its merits. As to your theory about a social centre, that is an asset, it is true, but the pastime would still continue with practically unabated energy without it. -Every man to his own opinion. Swansea housing schemes should bene- fit by the appointment of a rent collector. Yes, providing he is given a fairly free hand. Being on the spot, he should know whether a tenant is good or bad-- likely to pay up or get deeper into arrear. But will he be allowed to exercise any dis- cretionary power? 1 think so. Well, I don't. The Housing Com- mittee—or at least the Labour members of it-are too sympathetic, and therefore prone to listen to everybody's tale of woe. But poor people deserve considera- tion. -In a senee, yes, but the Swansea Cor- poration is not the Board of Guardians, aud where there is no real attempt to pay rent I the Housing Committee should act accord- ingly and change the tenant. This is due to the ratepayers as a whole. -But they say that the working con- ditions are such that it is easier for some tenants to pay, say, once every three weeks than weekly. -Then make the collection accordingly. I am not, however, referring to the tenant that will pay, but to the one that hopes to remain in pos&ession rent free because he may not believe in landlordism, or is one of the don't-care-sort and never intends to make an effort to act the decent citizen. Meanwhile the house famine in Swan- sea is very serious indeed. It is; and whilst I agree with putting up proper dwellings, at the same time, if expense stands in the way, 1 then a few ot the superfluities might well be dispensed with. Cheap h .-i- j are wanted—and -vanted • vn Swansea.

The results in connection with the Neath Municipal bye-elections were declared on Thursday evening, and they showed a de- cisive victory for the Conservative candi- date in the South Ward while Mr. Brin- ley Richards made a very creditable fight in the North.

Aft.pr "the declaration of the poll in the South Ward the successful candidate was chaired and carrie.d in triumph through the princi- pal streets of the town.

YSTALYFERA CORRESPONDENT AND ¡ MR. PHILLIPS. Mr. W. H. Stevenson (Ystalyfera) writes): —"From reports that Have appeared in your excellent paper, I gather that Mr. W. F. Phillips (Liberal candidate for. Gower) denies having been a member of the- I.L.P. Mav I point out that he has subscribed to the" funds of the Newport branch of the I.L.P. ? That shows he is not averse from helping financially a body for whose political ideals he professes such abhorrence. ideals he professes such abhorrence. Rev. R. Silyn Roberts, M.A., of Blaenau-) Ffestiniog, declares that at Bala Mr. Phil- lips was a much more 'fiery and extreme' J Socialist than he (Mr. Roberts) ever was, that lie was the founder of the branch of the Fabian Society at Bala, and that he was an ardent disciple of Bernard Shaw and Sydney Webb. Both the Fabian Society and the I.L.P. are constituent sections of the Labour party that Mr. Phillips now at- tacks with a jaundiced bitterness that com- pares very unfavouraibly with the emphatic, but none the less courteous, criticisms by Mr. Siirmer aft the last election. Mr. Phillips is an ex-Socialist,

UNIONISTS LEADING. MINISTERS' MAJORITIES SHEW BIG REDUCTIONS. Polling took place on Thursday in 40 constituencies, returning 43 members of Parliament. Twenty of these constituencies were in England, four in Wales, ten in Scotland, and five in Ireland. The results were declared last night in seventeen of these constituencies, with twenty members between them, which in the last Parliament was divided between the parties as follows:- Unionists 5 Radical 12 Labour 3 The Radicals gained a seat at Bedford, where Air. W. A. Attenborough, who cap- tured the constlt-uenoy in Ja-nuary by a majority of 169, was defeated by a major- ity of 20, the seat having previously gone Radical in 1906 with a majority of 493. The three two-member boroughs which polled yesterday all :went Radical. At Southampton Colonel Ivor Philipps, with his colleague, the Hon. Dudley Ward, re- tained his seat, Sir George Armstrong, who left Pembroke and Haverfordwest for the purpose of fighting the Southern seaport, failing to make any marked impression on the majority. At Dundee Mr. Winston Churchill, with his Labour colleague, Mr. Alexander Wilkie, was again returned, but by a maj- ority barely more than haif that of Janu- ary. Mr. C. P. Trevelyan, the Parliamentary Secretary of the Board of Education, was returned by a reduced majority for the El- land Division of Yorkshire, and another of- ficial Ministerialist, Mr. Mr: K inn on Wood, the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, secured re-election at Glasgow, College Division, by a reduced majority. A re-count was necessary for the Cam- lachie Division of Glasgow, where there were no fewer than four candidates, includ- ing a Suffragist Tariff Reformer, but Mr. H. J. Mackinder, the official Unionist can- didate, retained the seat. At South Bel- 4r fast the recognised Unionist, candidate also beat an Independent Unionist in the per- son of Mr. T. H. Sloan. The stubbor character of the contest was again illustrated in a number of instances, the majorities on either side showing a I diminution. For example, the Unionists retained their bold on the Chip-Denham Di- vision of WiltG by only 26, North Dorset by 32, and South Hants by 248: while the Radicals held the Gainsborough Division of Lincolnshire by 80 and Mid -North amp<ton- shire by 250. On the other hand, the Unionists bettered their majorities in Berks (Abingdon), Devon (Tiverton), Lancashire (Ohorley)—although it was already over 2,000—Warwickshire (Stratford-on-Avon), and Derbyshire (West), and the Radicals similarly improved their position in North Norfolk. The result of yesterday's declarations is to leave the Unionists with a net gain cf 'two seats, counting four on a division. I
