-------SATURDAY. FEBRUARY…
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 5. 1910. EDITORIAL NOTES. We were unable last week to make any observations on the electoral decision in East Glamorgan. Sir Alfred Thomas' triumph was, if anything, the most deci- sive and most conclusive against the Lords and for the Budget in South Wales. The Tory candidate and whole hogger for Tariff Reform cannot complain that he did not have the fullest opportunities to push his propaganda. Sir Alfred, as a faithful stalwart, was busy in the House of Commons during the autumn campaign, and really during the term of the Government since its advent into power in 1906 the Liberal and Labour members for South Wales were exemplary in their fidelity to the work at West- minster. During this time, Mr. Ga skell was continuously nibbling at the con- stituency, and to give him credit, he was the most assiduous of the Tariff Reformers in the county in working for a compen- sating result. For three years he was indefatigable in his electioneering indurt try, and no part or corner of this wide constituency did he leave neglected. Sir Alfred's enforced attendance in the House of Commons gave his opponent the full run of the district. Notwithstanding the splendid handicap which Mr. Gaskell received from the scratch man, he was miserably behind in the race, and there is very little comfort, after all his labour, in the fact that, the majority of his oppo- nent exceeded his own poll. It clearly proves that the constituency lacks nothing in the way of intelligent grasp of the real issue. And is it not positively insult- ing to the common understanding of a large democratic community to attempt to prove that the. black of an irrespon- sible House of Lords is "white"? The House of Lords has to be finished as a destructive legislative factor. The game of nolitics must be played fairly. No off- side will be again tolerated. The referee has blown the whistle and ordered the men off the field. Mr. Walter Long, while complimenting the Prime Minister, and that at a Con- servative gathering, reserved his choicest epithets for Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Winston Churchill. They were the real inspirers, and for once we heartily agree with him. These two friends of the I people are a, match for the most blatant Unionist speakers, though Mr. Walter' Long may be one of them. This distin- guished member of the gentlemanly party again trotted out the. frigid, calculated statement that Tariff Reform does not mean dear food. Does he know, as Mabon has put it, that bread is the food of the people? When one lives on a, table where, delicacies rule, bread is not much in sight; but on the worker's table bread is all-prevailing. If we put a duty on wheat, as Mr. Long wants, then bread will be dearer. If the contents of the miner's lunch box was statistically re- corded, the universality of bread would make it very obvious why miners will not dally with the proposed Food Taxes. This is a pressure of living; which Mr. Long, from his affluent heights, has not been able to understand. If he took-a month's course of living, and earned it at sixteen shillings a week, he would see that food taxes on such a rate of wages would leave him very little in luxuries. There were, he said, a vast number of things which made up the food of the people—sugar, tea, meat, cheese, milk and cocoa. Yet these, without cheap, bread, would have little comfort to theTiard-working man. He is not much forrader" if bread is taxed, for the great all-prevailing essential food nourishment of the family has gone. It is a great and solemn "fact which the Tories always avoid to recognise. Mr. Walter Long thinks that this is a poli- tical method to trade upon the sufferings, fears and anxieties of the poorest, to whom the difficulties are pressing. Here, again, he is uttering the veriest cant and presumes no contradiction, because it is uttered in partisan atmosphere of a Con- servative gathering. One would think, too, that the German and American, workers are in Paradise, since. Mr. Long cited that emigration here was stimulated by that picture. The fact is that in this country, with better wages and shorter hours the workers can command more hard cash to help them to spheres of a .J-11 1- _L1. i T rt 1"1 ISIJUl UeliDer xiope. xn Germany, tne worker has such a struggle for the neces- sities of life through the action of high tariffs, that there is not too much to spare for enterprising jaunts. Britain will have no Food Taxes, and not only that, she will have less of the House of Lords' intrusion of its tyranny of the feudal methods in our legislative aspira- tions in the future. The curfew has rung. Privilege and monopoly must with- draw. This week we have seen the beginning of another great scheme of Social Reform by the opening of the Labour Exchanges throughout the country. It will be. a very large experiment of the social forces of the country by a system of national labour exchanges. The Government has not delayed in putting the Exchanges into operation. The number opened is far short of the ultimate strength of these institutions, and the Board of Trade have had to requisition temporary buildings in all parts of the country, rather than delay the system by the erection of per- manent homes for the different branches which will be planted up and down the length of the land. Already a great deal of preliminary work has been done in a short time, and done with -business-like efficiency that gives rich and admirable promises for the future working of the Exchanges. The unemployed problem is a huge one, and we are glad to think that out of the Budget three millions of money is provided for solving it. The Exchanges, though they cannot increase employment, will, however, ensure that no work will remain undone because a workman cannot be found to do it. They can at once deprive labour of a useless mobility and give it a real mobility by ensuring that a man will not set out in the airless search for work where work is not, but that he will be directed to the spots where employment is likely to be obtained. This will be a very great reduction of anxiety to those who are compelled to move on account of sudden stoppages. It will be an untold benefit to all migratory workers in trades which are only temporarily located. These Exchanges will be the place for those out of work to register their names, and ateo where employers seeking labour will send their demands. The workman of good repute will always stand the best chance, and that at the minimum physical incon- venience. Even if the Exchanges dis- charged no other good function, they will j give us a great amount of very sound ] information about the. extent of unem- ployment. The rope also will tighten round the unemployable and the loafer. Altogether, better social times are upon us. I The victory of Mr. Edgar Jones in the Merthyr Boroughs was celebrated at Wattstown in a very 'demonstrative way on Monday night last. All along the route from Porth to the member's native village the roads were the scenes of extraordinary enthusiasm. This was no mere tribute to wealth and position, but the genuine rejoicing of tke people because of the meritorious achievement of one of their own rank and file in the people's army. It was valuable because I it was inspiring in its moral. It is more than luck that Mr. Edgar Jones is where he is to-day; it is the natural fruition, of good planting and seeding which has been going on from the first day he entered into the social life of tke dis- trict when he decided upon his real work as an active ordinary citizen. It is a lesson illustrating the maxim that hfe who labours faithfully in small things will surely emerge in time to greater things. The busy life of Mr. Edgar Jones in Wattstown reflects his industry with the Band of Hope, Temperance Societies, and especially the Relief Fund for the Watts- town widows and orphans. He worked in every conceivable capacity, and his record of actual spade and drudgery work is a, marvel of honest fidelity and per- sistency. The good folks of Wattstown knew this, and when this knowledge has been widened, it is no surprise that grate- ful people of every creed and sentiment made common cause in the jubilations of Monday night. The selfish young man who centres himself in one round of self- pleasures cannot hope and does no+. deserve to attain great distinction. Younp men who mean to win the best recog- nitions of their people must work while in the heyday of their physical powers. If they do this, and aspire for honourable selection, they must sacrifice in the humble opportunities of their earlier This is the story of great lives, and Mr. Edgar Jones, by making success obvious, has done something to hearten young workers who realise that life has its duties and responsibilities as well as its pleasures and recreations. He has accomplished a great thing—by being sent to represent the most important con- stituency in Wales at the early age of thirty, and doubly emphasised his entry to the House of Commons by the magni- ficent vote and majority he won.
