No sooner was the Conference on the Constitutional issue at an end than misrepresentations were set on foot as to the cause of its failure to agree. The latest of them is that put forward by a halfpenny evening- paper to the effect that the Conference failed because the peers and their valets," as one Radical organ elegantly put it, "had decided to 'go it blind.' Of course, this kind of statement is an invention of the extremists who have been howling at the Conference from the beginning—the type of men who would have made it extremely difficult for such a Conference to agree under any circum- stances. The unpleasant feature of this and other lies which are being exploited respecting the Con- ference is that, either in their present or an altered form, they will presently be served up to the electors by responsible leaders on the side opposed to the House of Lords] just as were the ab- surdities about Chinese Slavery," No Pensions," "Black Bread," etc. Inasmuch as both parties in Conference have agreed to maintain absolute silence as to its failure, it is impossible to speak definitely as to the cause of the deadlock; but we are justified in forming concisions upon the first hint of it that was published. The hint came from MR. MASTERMAN, who, at West Ham on November 10th, said that if both parties con- ceded as many points as they could there was still an unbridgeable gulf between them." He justified this statement by tho reminder that Liberalism is Liberalism and Conservatism is Conservatism. But that is not so. Liberalism to-day is Liberalism in a Socialist pot, and set to boil on a Nationalist fire. That is perhaps why the Conference could not agree.

I THE country is now faced with the imminent pros- pect of a general election, and what is the real position of the so-called Liberalism which will make its appeal to the county? Is it that the Lords want to take an immoderate or unconstitutional share of the government of the country and have interfered [ unduly with the authority of the Commons? Is it that the Conservative Party, as MR. CHURCHILL declares, seek to hold a definite ahd permanent superiority in the Constitution over all other forms of political opinion? That is what MR. LLOYD ) GEOBGE will try to make the country believe, and doubtless he will succeed to a certain extent, but it is not the truth. Because th) House of Lords challenged a financial measure which was unex- ampled in the country's history, and sent it to the country to ascertain the will of the people, is it within a hundred miles of the truth to say that tha Conservative party want to hold a permanent superiority in the Constitution, and that they refuse equal rights .to their fellow citizens? I

WHAT public utterances will bo made by the Liberal leaders during this campaign, no one can remotely guess, because they will model their eloquence to suit whatever situation MR. REDMOND likes to create For it is MR. REDMOND who is the dominating factor in the politics of Great Britain to-day. It is he who is going to break up the ancient constitu- tion of this country. He wants Home Rule, al- though one half of Ireland will not have it, but still he wants it, and has been over to Amcrica and has collected American money which, he hones, will help him to get it. The ancient dignity and honour of the British Parliament is literally at this moment at the mercy of MR. RFD-IIOND and his bag of American money. He wants Home Rule, but lie knows he will never get it while the House of Lords exists as it does to-day. That is the real reason for the cry against the House of Lords-not because the Conservative party arc seeking to hold a permanent superiority in the country or are attempting it, but because the House of Lords stands in the way of Home Rule; and Home Rule the Government must concede because MR. "RED- MOND is in a position to dictate his own terms. It is a bargain/between him and the Government of a most humiliating character. MR. REDMOXD not only forces the Government to agree to the splitting up of the British Islands; but he also proposes to smash up our own Constitution. He is not satisfied with having a Parliament of his own, but he wants to break up the Mother of Parliaments, and leave it in a state of wreck. This is the plain iesue before the country, and it seems to us that at the* ooming general election the Conservative Party should sink all other questions in favour of it. It is the one vital issue which should influence tRe ^minds of the electors-not only whether they should allow Ireland to have a Parliament, but whether they should consent to their own Parliament being ruined beyond the reach of repair. The object of the Conference was to prevent this. That it has failed is not the fault of reasonable men on either side: certainly not the fault of the Conservatives as some of the Radical papers allege. Truth lies in the honest and outspoken opinion of the Radical 'Manchester Guardian" that "there is no reason to suppose that the attempt was otherwise than abso- lutely honest on both sides, and it has been carried on through more than a score of meetings with equal sincerity and persistence."

NOTES OF THE WEEK Recently we drew the attention of parents to the danger of leaving children of tender years in a room without a fireguard. Unfortunately, we again find it necessary to repeat the caution. A mother left her three small children alone in a room in which there was a fire burning, while she. visited a neighbour. She was absent only for about two minutes, but on her return found that one of the children, a boy of four, had fallen on his head into tho fire. He was severely burned, and ultimately died as the result of his injuries. May we again remind the public of the new law which enforces severe penalties for neglecting to properly guard fires to which children have access. — In our Welsh columns this week, we have quoted some remarks from the London Celt" RE the National Eisteddfod in Carmarthen in 1911. The newspaper in question says that things are not so desirable as we would wish. The bardic section has been criticised severely for selecting Edward VIT. as a subject of the chair ode; and the musical por- tion is gone "topsy-turvy." The chief difficulty is relative to the Eisteddfod Choir. The Committee has been so foolish as to appoint an UNPOPULAR conductor for the work, and that the majority of the local singers have kept aloof. Instead of having a choir of over 200 members, it is said (the Celt" did not quote the JOURNAL as its authority) that barely half that number present themselves at the practices. The best musical man might have been appointed, but the point in work of such kind is to secure a person of influence, and one who is liked by the singers themselves. Some want to say that the cause the choir is so unpopular is, because two Churchmen are at the helm." Our friend, the Celt, would have done much better, no doubt. He ought to have n engaged to run the whole thing. —♦>— The resignation of His Honour Judge Bishop and the announcement of Mr. John Lloyd Lloyd Morgan that he will not seek re-election for West Carmar- thenshire, coming as they did, almost simultaneous- ly, leave little doubt in the minds of the public that Mr. Lloyd Morgan is to be appointed in Judge Bishop's place. No sooner did Mr. Lloyd Morgan's retirement become known than several gentlemen who have for some time past been re- garded as probable applicants for a nomination by the Liberals arrived at Carmarthen with the appear- ance of being bent upon important business. Mr. John Hinds, of Blackheath, is one of the aspirants, and Mr. W. Griffiths, Chelsea, is another, and it is generally believed that the choice will lie between these two. Both gentlemen are natives of the district. Mr. Hinds, as is well-known, is a St. Peter's Boy, and Mr Griffiths hails from Pontyeates, and both are carrying on business in London as drapers. Other likely candidates have been men- tioned, among them being Sir Courtney Mansell, Bart., and Mr. II. Jones-Davies, Glynoiddan, but we do not think either of these will persist in claiming consideration. On Tuesday the name of the Rev. A. Fuller Mills, chairman of the Carmar- thenshire County Council, was freely mentioned in connection with the vacancy, and it was stated that he had offered himself as a candidate who would come out independently on behalf of the farmers. The i-etit-eiticitt of Mr. John Lloyd Morgan is a great blow to the. Liberals of the constituency, be- cause his hold upon the electors, both Liberals and Conservatives, was very great, and it is certain that the next candidate's chances at the election must be uncertain, especially as he will be opposed, in the person of Mr. J. W. J. Cremlyn, the Union- ist. candidate, by a very determined, shrewd, and able fighter, who has been conducting a vigorous campaign in the constituency since the last elec- tion. Mr. John Lloyd Morgan, K.C., is the youngest son of the late Rev. W. Morgan, who for many years was pastor of the Independent Church, Car- marthen, also professor of philosophy at Carmarthen Presbyterian College. Mr. Lloyd Morgan was educated at Greenhill School, Tenby", and Tatten- hall School. He entered Cambridge University, taking his B.A. degree in 1884. During that year he was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple, and shortly afterwards commenced to practice on the South Wales Circuit. With an attractive stvlo in addressing a jury, combined with a keenness in cross-examination, he coon became a prominent advocate, and appeared in many important cases. He took silk in 1906, and was appointed recorder of Swansea in February, 1908. Though he has not spoken so frequently in the House of Commons as probably his Welsh colleagues would have been glad to hear him, he has made himsehf very popular. He strenuously opposed the persecution of voluntary schools in Wales which Mr. Lloyd George's policy involved, ind his strong de- nunciation of Welsh Radicalism won him grateful respect from the Conservative party. On the other hand, his policy much annoyed the Radicals, and several of their prominent leaders appeared on the public platform to oppose him. Mr. Lloyd Morgan, however, courageously held his ground, and his disasscciation with the revoltors' policy had the obvious support of his constituents.

SUCCESS.—Mr. Charence Brunei White, is to be congratulated on his success in obtaining first prize with h:s blue leghorn pullet at tne Crystal Palace show held this week. NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD, CARMARTHEN.—At a recent meeting of the Llanelly Royal Choir, held at Lloyd- street Schoolroom, the members unanimously re- solved that the choir should be re-organized in order to compete at the National Eisteddfod held at Car- marthen. They are also going to give a concert in aid of the King's Memorial Fund.. MR. Joseph Astlev, the Carmarthen mail contrac- tor, sustained a serious accident on Tuesday last. In order to effect some repairs in the backyard he mounted a ladder, which gave way under him. He was severely injured, fracturing several of his ribs. Astley a few months ago buried his wife, whibt only a week or so back his son was killed on the G.W.R. near Goodwick. DEBATING SOCIETY.—The Old College Debating Society met on Friday, the 11th uist., Principal Joseph Harry being in the chair. The subject of debate was, "Whether England attained her present Position by War or by Peace." War was defended by Mr. J. W. Kirkby, while Peace' round an advo- cate in Mr. R. J. Jones. This interesting question was warmly disputed; the meeting finally decided in favour of War.

Walters, coroner, held an inquest at Pencae. (Vm- rluad, Cor^wil, on the 11th inst., respecting the death of Evan John Rutter, aged 4, the son of Mr. Robert Rutter, Danvrhiw, CVmduad.—Mary Anne Rutter, mother of the child, gave evidence to the fffect that on the 3rd inst. she ]Oft the three small children in the house while she visited a neighbour. She had not been absent for more than two minutes when she heard the children shouting', and. on rushing in, she found the child had fallen on his head into the fire. She immediately picked the child up and applied sweet oil and ointment to his head. He appeared to gpt-on well. She sent for Dr. Evans, Llandvssul, on the 5th, and lie told her that he was afraid the child would not recover. It died on the 5th of November. There was no fire- guard. She did not know that the law required a fireguard. The jury returned a verdict of "Death from shock as the result of accidental burns." There has been a distressing frequency of these accidents in the Carmarthen district lately. LECTURE.—Tho Rev. W. D.

Lammas- street and vvater-street to the Cemetery, where tho. interment took place, at. about 12 o clock noon. Tho occasion was, by. the wish of the family, strictly private. or it is certain that many would have shown their esteem for the deceased lady and the sympathy with the mourners by attending.

Wreaths were sent by relatives and friends, and bv the stu- dents of the Presbyterian College. The service at the house and at the Cemetery was conducted by the Rev.

College XV. came off on Saturday last. The wea- tner was very wet, and the ground was in a [Juor condition. The game, however, was strenuous and exciting. Aberystwyth maintained a slight superi- ority throughout the first half, and a try was scorad for them by Ernie Williams. After some give and take play in the centre of the field, a fine attemni at dropped goal was made by one of the Training Col- lege men. Half-time came with the score:—Aber- ystwyth, 1 try Training College, nil. In the second half Abeiystwyth was still keeping the nlav m the Carmarthen half of the field, when Watts got possession near the half-way line, and after a hno run passed to Hanson, who outpaced his opponents and scored in the corner. Watts converted with a splendid kick, the ball" failing on the bar and toppling over amidst cheers. After this reverse Aberystwyth attacked, and a try was scored in the corner by Oswald Jenkins. The whistle blew leav- ing Aberystwyth College the victors by 1 noint. Score: Aberystwyth College, 2 tries; Carmarthen College, one cnilverted goal. FeXERAL OF MR. T. MORRIS.—The funeral of Mr. T. Morris builder), Carmaithen, reference to whoso death appeared in our columns last week, took placo on Friday, the 11th inst., the interment being at the Cemetery. The cortege left th9 house at 11 a.m. and was very largely attended by local gentle- men. Before leaving the house the Rev. Ungoed Thomas, 1 abernacle, read a portion of Scripture, and the Rev. Dyfnallt Owen, Lammas-street, prayed. At the chapel the Rev. Dyfnallt Owen officiated, and also referred to the many sterling qualities of the deceased, whilst the Rev. Waldo Lewis, B.A.. Penuel, engaged in prayer. The last and solemn rites were performed by the Rev. Dyfnallt Owen at the graveside. The following were the mourners: Mrs. Morris (widow): Mr. T. Morris (son); Mrs. Walter Phillips and Mrs. S. M. Jenkins, Neath (daughters); Mrs. Matthew^, Ferndale (sister); Mr. D. A. Woozley. London (brother-in-law): Mrs. Gn- ffiths, Carmaithen (sister-in-law): Mr. Walter Phillips: Hey. W. Lloyd, Manchester, and Mr. S. M. Jenkins, Neath (sons-in-law); Mrs. T. Morris (daughter-in-law); Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Tumble Hotel, niece and nephew); Mr. T. Matthews and G. Davies, Ferndale (nephews): Mr. D. Morgan (Gorse) (ccusin).

Rogers, The Stag and Pheasant; Mr. and Mrs Davies. Brynawel: from the employees of the deceased, and a friend. The bearers wero Messrs. W. Davies, D. Jones. T. Rogers, D. Har- ries. R. Davies, and T. Lewis, contractor of this town. The widow and children greatly thank all who sent wreaths and sympathised with them in their sad bereavement. BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the Carmarthen Branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held, at the Guildhall on Tuesday evening. The chair was occupied by the Mayor (Mr. W. Thomas). Mr. R. A. Brockie, the treasurer, presented the accounts, from which it appeared that a sum of £26 had been remitted to the Parent Society during the year. Mr. T. Thomas (Harddfan) in moving the adoption of the report. congratulated the Mayor in being the first public meeting which he had attended during hi3 year of office. The Rev. G. E. Edwards, B.A.. in seconding, aho congratulated the Mayor on making h.s first appearance in connection with this particular society.—The Rev. D. Eurof Walters, M.A., Swan- sea. the deputation from the Parent Society, also expressed his pleasure that the chief magistrate of the town presided at the meeting. He was looking forward to taking part in a meeting at which the Lord Mayor of Cardiff would preside. It was necessary to emphasise „;the fact that this was a missionary society. The various Protestant churchcs had all their separate organisations, but behind them all there was this great society supplying them all with Bibles fur their several fields. We are all now more or less anxious about German invasion, but this society was founded over a hundred years ago when there was a very real danger of a French invasion. It was an outcome of the idea of equality —that all men whether black, white, or yellow, were equal before God". The story of the translation of the Bible into the hundreds of languages was a veiitable romance. It stood to-day for a new doctrine of Inspiration. The Bible hnd been trans- lated into 424 languages and dialccts. What other Book had been so translated. The Pilgrim's Pro- gress had been translated into 111 different languages, but if all the Scriptural quotations were taken out of the-Pilgrim's Progress there would be little left except the covers. ALLEGED THEFT OF A WATCH. On Wednesday last, before the Mayor. Mr. William Thomas and Mr. Henry Howell, William Henry Davies, labourer, No. 38, Watc^r-stieet, was charged with having stolen a. silver watch and chain from Enoch Evans, collier, Penygroes, near Cross Hands. Complainant, in giving evidence, said that on Monday night ho went into the Butchers' Arms, accompanied by Llewelyn Jones. Four of his companions in there started fighting, and he attempted to separate them. While doing so lie felt someone, who was a stranger to him, clinging to his watch-chain. On missing his watch and chain he reported the matter to the police. About 11.30. on Tuesday morning he saw tho defendant in the Butchers' Arms.
