Glanant Morgan, who has accepted the call from Canaan English Cong. Church, commenced his duties, preaching morning- and evening. The occasion has been one of great re- joicing amongst the members, the church having been without a regular pastor for some considerable time. There were large congregations at both services, and the eloquent addresses of the new minister impressed everyone. The rev. gentleman is the third'son of Mr. and Mrs. Afanydd Morgan, Aberdare, and re- ceived his early religious instruction" at Siloa, the Rev. D. Silyn Evans's church, at the feet of Mr. Wm.

Under1 a SVIotop Cart. On Wednesday last week a boy of 11, named David John Garrit, of Whychtree- street Morriston, who had been hanging behind a cart on the Morriston road, let go, and was running across the road 11 r when he was knocked down by one of Messrs Bowen and Sons' (Aberdare and Morriston) motor carts. The lad was taken to Dr. Brice's surgery and thence to the hospital, but expired en route. It was not till some time afterwards that the boy, who was returning from school, was identified. The inquest was held on Friday, when the jury returned a verdict of "Accident- al Death," and added that the driver of the motor was not in the least to blame.

-----Pars en Passant.
Pars en Passant. BY "OUVBIEB." From the report of the District Council, I note that the Housing ques- tion was brought forward by Mr W. Harper, and that a meeting of the Housing Committee is to be held. How many times is the matter to be referred to the committees ? It is about time that the houses were built. The chief topic auiong trades union- ists now, since so many injunctions have been granted against different Societies, is how to get money to pay Labour M.P's. The voluntary subscriptions will, it is feared, be insufficient to meet demands. If the Labour partj" should ever be dis- banded, the loss will be to trades union- ists. and the gain to the capitalists, and I should think that that alone ought to strengthen and not weaken trades unions. They should think of the comfort of their families and fellow-men. Some leading members of our Trades Unions are in favour of the payment of Members of Parliament from the National Exchequer, but some are afraid that that would do away with the independence of Labour members. Others are in favour of making a levy legal. When Parliament meets we shall see what proposals the Labour Party intend bringing) forward. Col. Seely, the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, has already hinted that something will be done to help the Labour Party from their present unenviable position. The Chanclor of the Exchequer has been put in the balance and found want- ing, and the lady (?) went further to c describe Mr Lloyd George as follows The political genius of the Celt is for destruction, rather than for creation." But the right-thinking people of the country agree that the Chancellor has proved himself to be a creator of no mean ability.
I Local Winners at the East…

Scraps.
Scraps. BY "THE SCRIBE." With regard to the investiture of the young Prince of Wales, it has been sug- gested that the ceremony should take place at both Cardiff and Carnarvon. This reminds me of the Cwmaman pro- posal that King George should be pro- claimed at Cwmaman as well as at Aber- dare. Thus saith the Globe"Nowhere do we find the Celt able to create. He can only destroy, or remodel by the process of attack. He summons no Parliaments, he reforms no religions, he lays down no far-reaching legal principles, he can rebel but he cannot conquer, and he tends always to accept his institutions from without, and then to devote himself to their destruction. Mr. Lloyd George is, we believe, proud of being a typical Celt himself. Would anybody call him a constructive statesman? His present ob- jects are the destruction of the House of Lords, the destruction of the Welsh Establishment, and the destruction of the Act of Union." I suppose that the icono- clast Keir Hardie, M.P., would be another typical Celt. This is the silly season for the daily newspapers. Parliament is "up" so they have to find something to hold the people's interest from day to day. The method usually adopted is to allow the readers to discuss some topic of absorb- ing interest. During the past seasons we have had all manner of fascinating subjects, among them being, "Have we lived before?" "Do we eat too much?" Do we believe ?" etc., etc. A Cardiff paper just now is opening its columns for letters on Should married people spend their holidays separately?" while a Lon- don Daily asks, "Can a man marry on £ 200 a year?" Regarding the former subject the con- census of opinion seems to be in favour of "separation." The writers think that a temporary absence from one another is healthy and leads to a fuller appreciation of each other's company when they return. This view is held by such persons as the Bishop of London and Annie S. Swan, who aver that there would be fewer unhappy marriages were this rule observed every year. "Can a man marry on £ 200 a year?" If this question must be answered in the negative, then I pity the Registrars of Marriages and the people who are con- stantly worrying about the decrease of weddings in proportion to the population. If Y-200 were even fixed as a minimum on which a man would be allowed to marry, this land would perforce be filled with happy (?) bachelors and contented (?)' old maids. How many miners could afford the luxury of a wife and a home? How many teachers, clerks, and how many shop assistants could manage it? This will never do. We must reduce the minimum. And yet a great propor- tion of those who participate in the con- troversy say that it is impossible for a family to keep out of debt on zC200 a year. One writer places the cost of food for a family of three at £ 100 a year, or about £2 per week. This works out at 13s. 4d. per person per week. Surely this is high living and high calculating with a vengeance. What is the menu in this person's houce, I wonder. Any ordinary family of three ought to manage a grub at 20s. per week. If this cannot be done, then heaven help many a South Wales parent of 6, 7, 8, or 9, and even more, who has to find rent, clothes, and a hundred and one other things, as well as food, on a wage of about 30s. a weak. The publicans are deploring the pars- ing of Lloyd George's Finance Act. They say it spells ruin for them. The coal- owners are also curing the Eight Hours Act, which spells the same word for then?. The Meteorological Office in London is moving. Perhaps they will be able to give us better weather now. What, Ministers receiving only 15s. a week! Yes, but they are not Cabinet ministers, but Calvinist ministers. London's belated spring-cleaning.—Big Ben's face and Cromwell's statue are now undergoing a cleansing process. Crippen, it is said, reads his Bible dili- gently, and is a most devout worshipper. "Not guilty!" Such a pious man could never have committed a crime. The Chairman of the Brecon & Merthyr Railway says that the future of that line is only commencing, and the only thing needed is to exercise patience. Well, as a matter of fact, the passengers have to do that already. Once more Cardiff and Carnarvon seem to be running a dead heat. Previously it was for a national library. Now it is for a iational Prince. How is it that Aberystwyth is not in the running this time ? The other day it was reported to the Guardians at Swansea that the South Committee had granted relief of 5s. a week to a woman who had been deserted by her husband, and that the relieving officer had flatly refused to give the re- lief thus ordered. Miss Dillwyn drew at- tention to a case where a relieving officer had been surcharged under similar cir- cumstances, and said the officer seemed to be between the devil and the deep sea. If as relieving officer he paid the money he was liable to be surcharged, and if he did not his committee would be angry with him. The relieving officers of the Merthyr Union will doubtless sympathise with their brother officers in SweCsisea. The officers of the former Union are often placed between the Pihahiroth of the Re- lief Committee and the Baalsephon of the L.G. Board. They often find them- selves ;n a dilemma with regard to a cer- tain type of applications for relief. Visions of charges, surcharges, and dis- charges arise before them. If they make a grant which the regulations of the L.G. Board state is illegal they may share the fate of the poor Welsh Territorial who was court-martialled on a charge of disobedience the other day and severely punished. On the other hand if the officers dare to disobey their majesties the Guardians they will also find themselves in hot water. They will be accused of in- humanity towards the poor and insub- ordination against the Board. This queer position of the Relieving Officer has caused many a scene at the Merthyr Board meetings, and we may look for- ward for more if this dual control is to be maintained. Dual control will never work on any II public body or authority. We have seen its failure with regard to education. It would be well if it could be decided who is the real U bos5 of the show "—the L.G. Board or the Board of Guardians? If the former, why should the officer be bullied? If the latter, why should John Burns' department interfere? Let us have a clear definition of the power of the respective authorities.
