MR HEMMERDE M.P. AT RHOS --
MR HEMMERDE M.P. AT RHOS ROUSING MEETING. ENTHUSIASTIC SCENES. I Some rousing sentences in the speech I know you want your member to do work. The two by-elections of East Den- bighshire were fought and fought and won on the p inciplesof thE; Budget. The Chancellor of the Exchecqer's hands were strengthened by this con- stituency, when the Budget was being considered by him. We have an issue before us which will cause Liberal, Labour, and Social- ist parties to sink their differences for the common cause. You have returned me twice, and no one has ever or will ever reverse your majority. Liberalism will be slain unless the people deal drastically with the House of Lords question. I believe, not only in the revising of a second chamber, but in the complete abolition of the House of Lords. It is an outrage on civilisation that men like the Lords can thwart at will all Liberal measures. The people are the arbitrators of the future destiny of this country. We want Wales solid and we shall have it. There would have been no land clauses in the Budget at all, but for the courage and pertinacity of the Welsh leader. The Public Halt was packed with a dense crowd on Wednesday evening, when a Liberal demonstration was held to welcome Mr Hemmerde, K:C. M.P., for the first time in the division since his great victory in the by-election seven months ago. Mr Hemmerde was escort- ed from Johnstown by the Rhos Silver Band, and as passing through the village he had to respond to loud cries for a speech. When the Hall was reached shortly af- ter half-past seven, the platform was packed, and our member had to force a a passage to the front of the platform. He smiled his old smile when he saw the sea of upturned faces looking expectantly towards him, and took his seat amid a thunder of deafening cheers. The chairman was Mr W. M. Jones, and he was supported on the platform by Dr J. C. Davies, J.P. C.C., Rhos, Alderman Jonathan Griffiths, J P., Mr C. Morgan, Mr S. Rowley, Mr J. S. Jones, C.C., Rev W. B. Jones, Mr J. 0. Jones, Mr D. Davies. Rev R. Williams, Mr R Pritchard, Mr K. Wynne, Mr J. Rogers, Mr Tysilio Jones, Mr T. Lewis, Liberal agent, and others. Prior to the coming of Mr Hemmerde, Councillor J. S. Jones kindly volunteered to give an impromptu address, to fill in the time. Mr Jones in vehement vernac- ular and emphatic English soundly trounc- ed the House of Lords as being nothing but a huge sham. He was glad however to know that there was going to be an end to them-they were being bearded in their den by a Welshman. (Cheers). The resolution in support of the Bud- get was proposed by Alderman Griffiths who spoke in Welsh. Mr Griffiths said he was proud to propose the resolution because he believed this to be the best Budget ever passed by any Government. This was a Budget with the principles of religion in it. It lifted up the weak, cared for the poor, and provided for the unable. Referring to the land clauses in the Bud- get, he said he was glad to tell them that Mr Hemmerde had been instrumental in doing a great deal to get them through. (Cheers). Dr J. C. Davies, who seconded the re- solution, was greeted with round after round ot cheers, which told eloquently of his ever-increasing popularity. In a neat speech the doctor said he was glad and proud to second the resolution. He was sorry Mr Hemmeide had not the good fortune to be born a Welshman, and he was sure Mr Hemmerde himself also re- gretted that disability. As a nation, the Welsh people were pre-eminentjy poetic and artistic. He should like Mr Hem- merde to realise this fact by paying a vis- it to the annual Rhos Eisteddfod, where he could steep his soul in enough poetry to last him a year. (Applause). Con- cluding, Dr Davies said he did not think he could sum up the situation better than by repeating a few lines of poetry. Here they were Taffy was a Welshman Taxes would invent Taffy came to my house And stole my increment. I went to Taffy's house Taffy sworn to kill I took up my caucus And smashed Taffy's bill. Mr Hemmerde, who has been hard at Work speaking up-and down the conntry, was then called upon to address the meet- ing. When the rousing cheers Recorded him had subsided, he began by saying he was very glad -to find himself at Rbcs again. He explained that he had thought (it better to support the land clauses in the Budget in the House of Commons, and fight for them in other parts of the wi" try than to go down to East to preach to the converted (Cheers). From the end of July until the c L.) .> he was forbidden to address any cii. at all, and then he started off on a e- ü- paign up and down the country tor twe- ty one days running. In that time h must have addressed 50,000 peope, and 1 there were only seven hands held up against the Budget. (Applause) The land clauses and the licence clauses v ere 1 the only two things that had induced the House of Lords to take the amazing s.ep j which they contemplated. The kn:; I clauses had put new life into Liberalism, I and they called upon the Liberal, Labuur and Socialist to sink their differences—u< j any rate for this election. (Cheers). He j noticed that the Tories of that constitu- ency were making much of the fact th*r j he could not speak Welsh. If that test I was to be applied to all the Tory cand- » dates in Wales, most of them would have to retire. (Laughter). In his last election address he had told them that every man j who voted for the Tory endangered the j stability of old-age pensions. And that I statement drew from Mr Balfour the state- 1 ment that the Tory party would never in- terfere with old-age pensions. Withio I the last three weeks he had received from I prominent Tories in the House ot Com- mons copies of a scheme of old-age pen sions which it was proposed to substitute for the present scheme. The issue of the coming election was far too grave for them to listen to mere hypocritical clap- trap, which some of Mr David Rhys' sup- porters had spoken recently. He, as an Englishman, was far better able to voice the aspirations or wales tnan any weista- man imported by the Tory party. (Cheers) After reviewing the list of measures which the House of Lords had either rejected or mutilated, he went on to mention that the the House of Lords had either rejected or mutilated, he went on to mention that the Duke of Marlborough, who had the hon- our to be born on the same day as him- self (laughter), had made, in the House of Lords, the vulgar observation that he is going to save the Constitution from the attacks of a Welsh demagogue. There was a man, typical of the House of Lords, who went to the same school as be (Mr Hemmerde) did and he was at the bottom of it for three years. He asked them what sense was there in sending people to Parliament at all if what they did was to be undone by men merely be- cause they were the sons of their fathers ? Men like Mr Lloyd George were to be called Welsh demagogues by these young sprigs of aristocracy. (Laughter). This was the. lastitouchof absurdity in our Constitution. For four years they had seen the Government's efforts at so- cial reform thwarted by the House of Lords, and now they found them thwart- ing the Government's attempts to provide for the national defence. What did this mean ? Take all the powers out of the House of Commons, and you abolished representative government in this coun- try. When they returned him at the next election, let them return him not only to fight for the abolition of the veto of the House of Lords, but to fight for what he favoured—the complete abolition of that partisan chamber, (loud cheers). It was an outrage upon our civilisation that ev- ery attempt at human progress should be thwarted by these men, who bad absolute- ly no claim to the dignity of sitting in any chamber of our Parliament. In the com- ing Parliament they wanted to see social conditions altered, housing reform, rating reform, rating reform, land reform in all its phases they wanted to see the Church in Wales put upon the same footing as the Free Churches in Wales (cheers). They would get none of these things so long as the House of Lords existed in its present form. Why keep them when we had abolished their veto as a revising ,oha-zisber ? They were not competent to exercise the functions of a revising cham- ber. If we had a revising chamber, let it be based upon the people's will let it be elected by the people, and let it be re- sponsible to the people. Then we should not have the absurd situation of a Free Trade House of Commons thwarted by i an Upper Chamber that hated the very mention of social reform. If we wanted progress we could only get it when the House of Lords had passed away and the people were masters in tneir own house and arbiters of their destinies, (cheers). The House of Lords had challenged the supremacy of the Commons. It was for the people to say what they thought of that challenge. Who was the challenger ? Who sounded the retreat ? Who was go- ing to lead them in the reactionary march ? Lord Lansdowne-the hero of the South African war-the man whose blundering incompetence as Minister for War made him the laughing-stock of the country during the horrible days of the war. His colleague was Mr Balfour. In which dir- ection would he lead his forces ? Did anyone know ? Did he know (laughter) ? They had got on the one side principles plainly expressed by the leader of the Government on the other side principles obscurely hinted at by the leader of the Opposition. If ever there was a leap in the history of this country it was the leap they were invited to take at the next elec- I tion if they were going to give their votes for Mr Balfour and Lord Lansdowne. The policy for which these gentlemen I I 1 ct-j-'vj -.vas for the rich to escape the p 7 j i«ciit of taxes, and to let the poor pay th^m. The policy of the Liberal party to put these new burdens upon the adders that were best able to bear j ■ u ;n, and he ventured to say this policy vld receive the overwhelming approval people of this country (loud cheers). he resolution was thei put to the U'e ting and carried with great enthusi- asm, Tr C. Morgan proposed and the Rev v B. Jones seconded a vote of thanks ■. ie speakers. 1. Hemmerde in responding, proposed vote of thanks to the chairman, and. • .J he would go back to the House of ".JOImons carrying the inspiring message Of' the people of East Denbighshire to his t; ."ud and leader Mr Lloyd-George. The meeting terminated with the sing- hy of the Welsh national anthem, Mr H, rnmerde joining heartily in the chorus.
..,...,¡... DOAN'S INQUIRY…
.¡ DOAN'S INQUIRY RESUMED. ANOTHER RUABON REPORT. The representative specially commission- ed t" investigate the cures of kidney and. biadder troubles by Doan's backache kid- ney pills, reported during the past few i..ars. forwards the following statement by a Chirk man. et Doan's pills cured me after all else had tailed, and I have had the best of health ever since. I shall continue to recom- mend the medicine." So replied Mr J Phiiips, of 91, Chirk-green, Chirk, nr Ruabon, to our representative's enquiry as to whether the cure, which had been reported over j years before, had proved a "astitag one. ¡ When giving the details of his case, af- ter his cure, Mr Phillips said P feel like a different man after taking Dban's backache kidney pills. For years I suf- fered from rheumatism and sciatica. I had terrible pains in my back and across I my loins, which were so bad that I could hardly get about. The pains in my back, right hip and leg were so severe that j sometimes I couldn't sit down. I got no rest, day or night. a,nd in the morning f felt just as tired as if I hadn't been to bed at all. There were also urinary disorders and sediment. I had bad headaches and got very giddy. I I was attended by a doctor, and three years ago I was in a convalescent home j tor a month but Doan's backache kidney pills have done me more good that any- thing else. "It was a friend who recommended me to try Doan's pills, and from the first they did me good, and now I feel so much better that I could jump over a stile. I j am entirely free of pains in my back, and the sciatica does not trouble me. Three I boxes of Doan's pills were all I needed to make well me again. I shall do all I can to recommend them. (Signed) J Phillips." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and nine pence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster-McClellan Co. 9, Wells street, Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr Phillips had.

FOOTBALL. ST MARTINS' CUP SECOND ROUND RHOS RANGERS v JOHNSTOWN The above cup-tie was decided on the ground of the Rangers on Saturday last. The meeting of these rivals for the first time this season attracted a splendid gate. Both teams turned out the best possible for the occasion. The home team had the choice of direction and elected to kick down. The opening was slightly in the I favour of the visitors,ithe home :defence clearing badly. Rhos had several smart runs but were kept from penetrating the well guarded area. A rush on the right by Johnstown resulted in the Ran- gers losing the most trusted player in the team, in John Davies, who had his knee injured after ten minutes had been played. I With ten men the Rangers played a real hatd game, and nearly got through more than once. Johnstown opened their account after twenty minutes play. Wat- kins made a fine run on the weakened wing of the Rangers winding up with a lovely cross which gave Morris his chance and with a low shot from close range beat the Rhos custodian. Rhos after this made strenuous attempts to equalise, hut the Johnstown backs and half-backs were in fine clearing form, and slung the ball out of the danger zone. Rhos still played a plucky game and;although handicapped they had quite as much if not more of the game for the rest of the half. The last half the strain ..f I he hard play was to be seen in both Mdes, but they slowly recov- ered. A penauy was awarded Johnstown Bob Davies saleiy converting. This goal brought rounds of cheers from the John- stown supporters. Rhos were not hope- less and played pluckily on, and were it not for th splendid work that Adam did in defending the Johnstown goal the re- sult might have been different. H Cave at this point of the game had to retire ow- ing to an injured head and knee, thus leaving the Rangers with nine men, but

Y Ddyfrdwy, o'i Tharddiad…
Y Ddyfrdwy, o'i Tharddiad i'w Hymarllwysiad. Wedi gadael Llyn Major deuwn at hen Bont Cysylhe. Yr ydym yn cael ar ddeall fod y bont hon wedi ei hadeiladu yn adeg teyrnasiad William a Mary tu3. y flwvddyn 1097. Mae i'r bont hon ddau fwa. Uwch ben i'r bont, ar ochr Trefor, ceir hen fforgi, gelwid hon yn Forgi Isa. Mae yn sefyil ers llawer dydd bellach er colled fawr i'r ardal. Ychydig yn is i lawr ar y Ddyfrdwy ceir pont h uarn ardderchog Gallaf ddweyd fod y bont hon yn un o brif gampau ei harchadeiladydd. Adeiladwyd Pont Aqua- duct Cysyllte pan oedd y B m George III yn teyrnasu, ar gais taer Rirh^.d Myddleton, Yswain A S, o Gastetl y Waen, ac amryw o foneddlgion blaenilaw efaill, pa rai a fuont yn llwyddianus yn eu hymdrechion. Mae i'r bont hon 190 fwau. Nid oes os o amheuaeth nad y bont hon ydyw y cywrein- waith penaf sydd genym yn ein cymydog- aeth ni Cafodd ei chodi er mwyn i'r gam- las redeg drosti. Y dydd yr agorwyd hi ydoedd Gorphendf 2ofed, yn y flwyddyn 1795. Heb fod yn mhell oddiwrth y bont ceir Foundry y Cefn. Adeiladwyd y tawdd-dy hwn er mwyn toddi y bwau i adeiladu yr Aquaduct. Ychydig yn is i !awr yr afon ceir llyn mawr o'r enw Llyn Llewelyn Gwelais hanes ychydig o amser yn ol i hen wr deg a thriugain i nofio ar draws y llyn hwn. Gorchest fawr i wr mewn oed mor fawr oedd hon yn siwr Yn is 1 lawr, wrtn uern cycnan, aeuwn at bont arall o faintioli tebyg i'r bont ddi- weddaf y soniasom am dani. Cafodd y bont hon-y Viaduct-ei hadeiladu gan Gwmni y Great Western Railway, a thros y bont hon y mae eu prif linell o Gaer i Lundain yn myned. Y dydd yr agorwyd y bont ardderchog hon ydoedd Hydref i3eg, 1848. Mae i hon 190 fwiiu, ac fe ddywedir ei bod Ya 500 o latheni o hyd, a'i buwchder yn 47 o latheni yn y He uwchaf. Yr ochr isaf i'r bont hon yr oedd hen forge, yn cael ei gweithio flynyddoedd lawer yn ol, ond erbyn heddyw nid oes bron ddim o'i olion yn aros. Yn y Cefn Bychan ceir gweled olion hen bont, yr hon oedd yn croesi y Ddyfrdwy. Mae yn smlwg fod gallt serth i ddyfod o 'di- wrth y bont hon i'r brif ffoidd. Rhyw ych- ydig o latheni yn is na hen bentan y bont y soniasom am dani ceir pont ragorol wedi ei thaflu dros yr aibn, a gelwir hi wrth yr enw Bont Newydd. Awn yn is i lawr a deuwn at y fan lie y mae afon Ceiriog yn ymarllwys i'r aton Ddyfrdwy. Mae afon Ceiriog yn afon o gryn faintioli. Yna deuwn at le a elwir Erbistock, lie hardd a rhamantus ydyw y fan hon. Ceir yma gwch i groesi yr afon, ac yn nyddiau haf ceir gweled deithriaid yn talu ymweliad a'r lie, obiegid ceir yn y fan hon olygfa brydferth, ac adloniant i'r meddwl Wrth ddilyn gwely yr afon deuwn at le a. elwir Overton. Yn y fan hon ceir pont hen- afol yn croesi'r Ddyfrdwy. Nis gallwn ddweyd i sicrwydd yn mha gyfnod yr ad- eiladwyd hi. Yr ydym yn cael mai enw person ydyw Overton, a chawn fod y gwr hwn wedi adeiladu amddiffynfa yn y fan hon, ond aeth Castell Overton Madog yn llwyr gyda llif y Ddyfrdwy, fel nad oes dim ohono i'w weled. Yr oedd wedi cael ei adeiladu ar lecyn o dir oedd yn tertynu rhwng Cymru a Lloegr gan Madoc yn y flwyddyn 1150, ac oddiwrth hyn yr ydym" yn cael fod y lie hwn yn wir henafol. [I'w B ARHAU.

even with that number they gave the Johnstown defence some hot work keeping the red boys out. Hughes the home left back played a rattling good game and considering the fact that two of has nalf- backs were absent he was without doubt the best player on the field. The football was not by any means of the standard quality. R Davies and Adam Jones were the Stars of the visitors. These teams have met times since they have been formed and Rhos have only been defeated on three occasions. Considering the way the Rangers were handicapped they did remarkably well in surviving such a light defeat. Final.—Johnstown, 2, Rhos, o.
