Bluff and Hypocrisy.
Bluff and Hypocrisy. Throughout the entire range of British journal- ism, in so far as it is under the direct influence of the Liberal Party, Mr. Lloyd George's speech at Carnarvon, now that it has been considered at leisure, has produced the same sentiments of con- tempt and disgust. At one end of the wide range to which we have referred stands the "Spectator" which says on this subject:— "To listen to Mr. Lloyd George one would think that he had been the victim of utterly cruel and unfounded charges instead of having been most justly censured by moderate and patriotio persons for having been guilty of conduct un- becoming a Minister and gravely injurious to public life. This bluff and hypocrisy is really becoming revolting. In almost every speech he makes now he takes back the expression of regret exacted from him in the House of Commons. His effrontery is without limit. Mr. Lloyd George dishes up all the familiar stuff about rich landowners battening on the poor, while saying nothing about taxing the unearned increment of such Stock Exchange ventures as he indulges in himself. As for the nonsensical talk aoout a con. spiracy to defeat democracy, we ask any fair- minded person to judge on the face of it whether the democrats are those who try to withhold an issue from popular decision or those who say Let the people decide and we will accept their wishes unreservedly.' "Reform the House of Lords." At the other end of the journalistic range stands the Revolutionary Socialist "Daily Herald," which comments on the Carnarvon utterance in the follow- ing terms:—"Once more the political vales and dales of this land are to resound with the cry of Reform the House of Lords.' The heavy-headed male electors of Great Britain will stand a vast amount of nonsense, we know. But if they stand this last piece of political bluff, their reputation for sanity will be of small value. They will all be open for attention under the Mental Deficiency Bill. What is the position? A few years ago the Liberals made a desperate attempt to avoid real reform by raising the cry of Down with the House of Lords.' They were returned to power, and introduced and passed a great measure—at least they called it great'— named the Parliament Act." The Secret of His Success. The Daily Herald continues its little lesson in recent history, and its pertinent comments, in the following form:—" The world was informed that now, at last, by the heroic efforts of the great Liberal Party, champions of Liberty, defenders of the people (and other virtuous qualities), the House of Lords was for ever swept out of the way or advancing democracy. The Liberals had a huge majority. They had the whole game in their hands. They could draft whatever Bill they pleased. They drafted the Parliamnt Act. Now they have the infernal cheek to come and tell us that it is necessary to start on another campaign against the House of Lords which thjev told us they had smashed to pieces already. We begin to under- stand the secret of the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer's political success. He has more calm cheek than anyone else. If he can once more rouse the country to listen to this ancient political war cry, then he will. really deserve to win. And the fools who listen to him will deserve to lose." We seldom find ourselves in agreement with the "Daily Herald," but by way of exception we associate ourselves cordially with the foregoing apposite and justified comments on the latest Georgian philippic.

ANOTHER "MERRY WIDOW.Lovers of musio and all playgoers will have a special musical tre in store on Wednesday, August 20th, at the Assem- bly Rooms, Carmarthen, when Messrs. Robert Mic. donald and T. 'B. Young will present George Ed- wardgs' greatest musical success produced at Daly's Theatre, London. It is a greater success than -qe Merry Widow,' which held the record till the arrival of "The Dollar Princess,' which followed the "Merry Widow" at Daly's Theatre with greater success. So far as the two chief figures in the "Dollar Princess" are concerned, they are those of the "Merry Widow" again. In beauty of set- ting, continuity of story, and musical and saltatory charm, the "Dollar Princess' need fear no com- parison with any musical comedy of recent years. The idea of an American multi-millionaire, employ- ing as servants only members of the British peer- age and aristrocracy is very humorous. There is also a triple love story. There is so much of glitter and grace, so much of sheer brightness—not garishness-of colour, movement, sound and feeling that the whole becomes a joyous entertainment, calling for little criticism and much praise. This grand organisation of 40 talented artis'tes sent out by Messrs. Macdonald and Young will also have a special small orchestra, consisting of organist, cell- ist, pianist and violinist, to augment the local theatre orchestra. Everything has been specially made for this tour to visit these parts—lovely and beautiful dresses, and staging magnificent. Box office is one at Mr. E. Colby Evans', Guildhall Square.

At 11.40 the procession started, headed by the Boy Scouts' Bugle Band, marching through St. Catherine-street, Lammas-street, Dark-gate, Blue-street, and the Quay, en route for the G.W.R. Station. Upon arrival at Ferryside, children and adults were soon at .ne water's edge enjoying the breezes which accompanied the in-com:ng tide. The chief attrac- tions were bathing, swimming, boating, and donkey- rides. These were freely indulged in by old and young. The Rev. J. Gwynfe Jones (curate) organ- ised a large number of races, which proved a great attraction. At 3.0 p.m. the first relay partook of tea.

Howell Davies (headmaster) acted as hon. sec. Everything was well organised, and all returned home feeling all the better for our trip to the briny sea. The day's enjoyment was slightly marred by an unfortunate accident which befel the little daughter, about six years of age. of age, of Mr. Wm. Evans, St. Catherine-street, Car- marthen. The child was playing behind one of the shooting booths at Ferryside, when a bullet fired by a young fellow, who was in front of the stall, pene- trated the sackcloth which closed in the rear of the shooting gallery, and entered the child's leg. She was conveyed by the next train to the Carmarthen- shire Infirmary, where the bullet was extracted. She was later discharged and is making good pro- gress. On the same day, and at the same place, were the scholars of the Babell Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, who were accompanied by the Pastor (the Rev. Samuel Evans).

The trippers, who journeyed in brakes, partook of a sumptuous lunch and tea on the Green. Favoured with a splendid tide and ideal weather, all passed a pleasant day.

Chapel had their annual outing- The party proceded by train to Ferryside. They were accompanied by Mr. Evan Evans, Abergwili- road (superintendent), Mr. W.

Before an enthusiastic audience on Wednesday, the Carmarthen Ladies' Choir, under the able conduc- torstip of Miss A. M. Buckley (out of seven com- petitors), carried away premier honours. Dr. Vaughan Thomas, in delivering his adjudica- tion, said that Carmarthen was the only choir that gave the pronunciation of the word "madrigal" correctly, and its singing had the proper delivery. There was a charming lift of melody, a charming unity of tone, and a very fairy-like delioacy of treatment, but the tone was not equal to one previous choir, and the climax was rather inade- quate for the rest of the performance. In the second work unanimity was a marked feature, both in tone and movement. The light staccatos were snatchy but properly resilient, and the gradation of tone was another welcome characteristic. It was a real interpretation of the work. The Carmarthen Ladies' Choir arrived home at 1 a.m. on Thursday (yesterday), and at that early hour were accorded a right royal reception. The crowd of delighted supporters, who had assembled on the town station platform to welcome them. As. the train steamed into the station, the crowd cheered vociferously, and when Miss Buckley alighted from her carriage, she was met by the Mayor (Councillor X B. Arthur), who shook her warmly by the hand and heartily congratulated her and the choir. Addressing the conductress and choir, the Mayor, on behalf of the town, extended the warmest congra- tulations to them on the great honour they had again done the ancient borough by bringing home the blue ribbon of the musical world for the second time. It was a grand performance, and Carmarthen felt justly proud of them. To win out of eeven competitors at the Welsh National Eisteddfod was a fine achievement, and their efforts must have been a grand performance (loud cheers). Carmarthen Ladies' Choir was one of the best conducted that ever stood on a nublic Dlatform (annlause'l. Buckley in a neat speech, thanked the Mayor and supporters for the kind and enthusiastic reception given them, and for the kind remarks the Mayor had passed about her. She wished to emphasise there was as much credit dug to the choristers as to herself. They had behaved like bricks, and done well (loud and prolonged cheers). The crowd escorted Miss Buckley to her residence, and gave repeated cheers outside. The Carmarthen Ladies' Choir was first formed by its present gifted conductress, Miss A. M. Buckley, and started its career by winning at eisteddfods- straight away. Afterwards Miss Buckley handed the- choir over to the care of Mr. H. F. Ellingford, the then organist of St. Peter's Church, under whosi" training it took second prizes at Bangor "National" and first at Llanelly. Miss Buckley afterwards resumed charge of the choir, since when it has risen to still greater heights, taking away the first prize in truly brilliant fashion at Colwyn Bay "National" aganist tremendous odds, and now at Abergavenny. It is probably the finest choir of ladies in existence to-day. Other local awards were:- Arts nad Crafts.—Plaster of model from life—J. T. Evans, Newcastle-Emlyn. Music.—Triple harp solo-2, Mrs. Davies, Pem- brokeshire.

In the course of his remarks, Mr. Jones stated that the Church Benefit Society during the last twelve months had opened over 400 lodges.
