Editorial Notes.
Editorial Notes. The present Government is not im- proving with age. It flounders away with painful consistency. It has been emas- culating itself of all strong personalities; and what strong ones remain, their love of office is more dominant, than respect for consistency of principle. Lord Curzon is the last that has been shed. At one time he was a heaven-sent Minister. Very few of this much-proclaimed origination remain. A Ministry of all the talents has already been substituted, in piece- meal fashion, into a Ministry made up of Mr. Balfour and the necessary number of ciphers to make up a Cabinet. Lord Curzon's contention is that once appointed to boss" the Indian Empire that his suggestions should have the premier con- sideration by the Home Government. It is a very reasonable request, and is really the necessary condition in securing hearty service. He was to inaugurate a new system of military protection for India. He wished for General Barrow as his military adviser. "I may reasonably expect," he says, "that I should be allowed to suggest the officer whom I consider best qualified for these purposes and, secondly, that, in the absence of any strong reasons to the contrary, my suggestions should be favourably enter- tained." Though this, a domestic quarrel among the heaven-sent family, there is nothing vulgarly obtrusive in a man of this world giving an opinion that what the superior person" (as Lord Curzon was styled in the House of Commons) argues for is but just and fair. He surely knows more about Indian affairs than any member of the Cabinet. Every reason- able nerson will concede that the man on the spot should be the most competent to make the right suggestions. We think Lord Curzon right, in claiming, as he does, that the person most competent to advise you (the Cabinet) as to a, mem- ber of Viceregal Council is the Viceroy himself." And here we have the kernel of the quarrel. Lord Curzon, in India and administrating it on the spot, is told that Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Brodrick, in London, cannot agree that the officer chosen by the Viceroy is the most suit- able man. As we have already said, the incident is only one more illustration that Balfourism is an exhausted Administra- tion: and if there was true, unselfish patriotism animating this office-loving Unionism, the country would have a chance to express its desire to turn out the whole lot for a long season of mental repletion and contemplation. -+--+-+- Our national Drink Bill is declining. All right-minded citizens will ferveully say Amen" to this. The heavier our drinking the more certainly the national down-grade. This principle is surely pos- tulated when we find that legislative re- strictions are finding lessening resistance from all sorts and conditions of Parlia- mentarians. The Rev. Dawson Burns and Mr. Rowntree have been giving the coun- try illuminating statistics on the Trade. The brewing interests are in difficulties. The champions of the beer interests con- tend that these difficulties are not due to diminished trade, but to bad investments and unsound management. If the latter is the correct view, it is a colossal mis- management which can explain the loss of seven millions in seven years by Allsopn. Limited. It is possible that mis- management is an element; but it is more likely that investments were made upon an estimate of drinking habits which no longer prevail, and which did not, anti- cipate a national awakening to the fright- ful evils of drinking. That there is a decline cannot be doubted, for the last Budget Speech also recognised the fact that a wave of temperance was passing over the country." Even in the Rhondda this pleasing feature is obvious. Looking back over 25 years, evidence of this decline is plain. It Is true, too, that during the lajst five years this decline can be proved by national statistics. This indicates, says Dawson Burns, the spread of enlightened sentiments, and the increase of moral self-restraint among the great bod- of the people." -+--+-- The death of Mr. David Morgan, Tylors- town, deprives the Local Jliducataon Authority of one of its most experienced of lieadteachers. lie had given many years ot solid service to the district as an educational trainer of the youth of Tylorstown, Not only was he a man earnest and enthusiastic in the school; he tilled also a large part in the social and public affairs ot his immediate dis- trict. Every public movement designed to better the social advantages of Tyloxs- town found in him a sterling worker, upright and sincere at all times. During the mourning days of the explosions which came upon the district he was first in the movement for relief, and ungrudgingly gave his best energies to the work of col- lection and distribution through the years of its administration. It was one of his characteristics that what he under- took he did it with an enthusiastic energy which far exceeded his constitutional powers. He dedicated himself to Tylors- town with a devotion and loyalty which should inspire every teacher living among the people. The same spirit dominated the late Mr. Morgan in his religious asso- ciation. The church at Ebenezer found in him the all-roundness of characteristics which told that he viewed life as an oppor- tunity to "do unto others as he would have done unto himself." A school- master who circumscribes his programme of duty to the inside of the school only, misses a wide field of experience and in- fluence. The more parents see of the life of the teacher, the greater grows their confidence in entrusting to him the edu- cational moulding of their children. Mr- Morgan, like all teachers who live among the people and participating in their aspiration, gathered influence which fructified in the best and most enduring returns. He will be missed in school, church, and village. His successor has been left a wealthy inheritance of respect for the teacher's position and prestige in the community. Without this, it is im- possible to do the best moulding in the schools. Mr. Morgan has gone, but, his life is a living one in the highest and noblest sense of existence. We deeply and profoundly condole with Mrs. Morgan. Her loss is concentrated because also domestic, but her comfort and solace will ever be present in the history of the good and noble work which will long remain a record in Tylorstown. Mr. Stewart, chairman of the Allsopp and Sons, Limited, had a warm time of it at the recent general meeting of the company. Trade depression formed the burden of his apologetic deliverance. And this trade depression is responsible,, for less beer drinking on the part of the working man, who is the backbone of the trade." And this temperate wave applied to dividends means a falling off of 7 per cent. in the value of the beer sold. Mr. Stewart, as a representative of the brewing interest, had not the courage to blame the" backbone of the trade" for this fit of self-restraint, but he did kick at the intemperate abolitionist" nevertheless. Good tradej according to this gentleman, is good drinking. The two districts where leSS drinking had been conspicuous were the Potteries and Wales. What has been the influence of the Revival Mr. Stewart did not say, but harped away at, his favourite bugbear, "trade depression." At anY rate, Allsopp, Limited, has a problem to stay the £ 1,000 a week loss it is now sus- taining, and in trying to solve it shareholders had a long, disorderly acrimonious discussion over it. This, 1,1 the history of a beer concern, is truly marvellous to relate. The Primrose League Fete at Llandaft passed off with much athletics and very little politics. These gatherings are to be commended as picnics of the most harmless kind. The leading company present were for the most part represen- tatives of the county's hupper suckles- The West Wyndham habitation is locate1 in very congenial atmosphere; there no lack of money to make gfuil,oU of the little politics that habitations. Of conrao Colon0' \V>ncl Quiu was the great man of the + r and enjoyed himself very much bette than he does at T'onyrefail or Cynnnei • The people of the»se places know something of politics, and they have the inconvenie1^ knack of asking questions which disturb the Habitation Dames. A P° tical speech at a Primrose League is good one, if it is well laid with gene''a ities and innocent platitudes. He stf with the hope that the Habitation wou j when the day of battle came—and it wo" come by next June—work for his retui as zealously as in the past. The Col0.1,' can rest assured of this, for the Hah1 tion has always done so. The D;,rll.e. were made to understand that the sent Government would hold on, as had no need to give up power as l011? 'lf they had the consistent support of tj1 followers in the House. The ga$ Colonel made no reference to the vfc(Le defeat and to the anxious efforts of this Government Whips to maintain 111d "consistent support." Very little cOrw be made out of the work of the Gove It ment in its present moribund state- the had passed an Aliens Bill, which td Colonel hoped would be satisfactory j the other record was that" somet lot had been done towards giving elllP ØW ment, to deserving workmen." The "so 0 thing done" is a very charactei1 analysis of the utility of the Pjeiel's Government. Beyond this, the trump card was that the Govet-5ti, had remained in office." The best t monial that the Colonel could give t°' 0 Government was that it sat tight, o1}r the power in order to look after foreign affairs.
