AIR. BALFOUR'S CHALLENGE. "I admit that this cSection, or any election psrhaps-ccrtinly this elec- ti--n--car,not bs dcacriiscd as taken upon Taritf Reform simpiy, and have not the cr-st objection to submitting1 t'ij principlas of Tariff Reform to a referendum." In these words Mr Balfour took up the iiadleal challenge, i.e., Mr Asquath's chal- lenge that Tariff lkform should be sub- jected to the great ref-arcndiun, and then threw it back ui their teeth by asking whette1 r the Governrfrent, on their pa.rt, would, if they were returned to power, refer Homo Utile to the people for them to say vca or nay. In a magnihoent specch at the Al- bert Hall, Mr Balfour completely shattered the sanguine hopes of the coalition. Headed by thoee would-be empire wreckers and social- ists, the "twin" Ministers, tie Radicals forced the pace with tho greatest confidence: the Constitution, House of Lords, and every- thing cl that stood in the way of their socialist and Home Rule policies was to be emashed up. "Give th.2 Lords another push and they will topple over," gleefully declared the Chauoellor at Cardiff, on Tuesday. The same evening, the nominal head of the Government, Mr Asquith, very dryly observed that Tariff Reform ought to be submitted to ix-fcrciidum. Both fu-ly unconscious of tho feet,Mr B-alfo-ur was, in another place, but at the eame time, slowly but 6urely d-e- molishing the trap so ingeniously set for him Ly the empire wreckers. "They think they Lave got me in a hole," he exclaimed, amid a burst of laughter, "but they have not." Instead of that, the Rredmondite Government are trapped themselves, right up to their n>eck-3, and now they are dumb-founded, panic stricken. The "twins" are gazing horror-struck at each other. Mr "Winston" has forgotten the Suffragettes; and tho8 socialist Chancellor is completely deaf to "the appeals of the multitudes who live grey lives amid squalor and dirt." They only hear, in imagination, the menacing tones of the Irish Leader, whose servants* and tools they are.

THE SCHEME OF REFORM.

THE SCHEME OF REFORM. The Unionist leaders and the House of Lords themselves have placed before the coun- try a. frank and honest scheme of reform. That scheme is now before the country, and with the country it re-sts to decide between reform and revolution. What are the main principles on which the Unionist proposals tor reform are founded? First, we must, liko, all other great nations, have a Second Chamber. Secondly, it must be a real Second Chamber, not a sham. Thirdly, while the Second Chamber must have power, in the interest of the people, to re-vise and check the most powerful Government, it must not dominate; the House of Commons must re- main the dominant legislative assembly. Granted these undeniable foundations, how shall we build up a reformed Second Cham- b-r, which shall be efficient and, in the best eeuse, popular? Reform must be grafted upon and harmonised with the immemorial traditions which have made our frc-e Con- stitution the envy of the world. By no sud- den breach of continuity can we achieve en- during success. Again the Second Cham- ber must be greatly diminished in num- bers. No man must have a plaoe. in it merely because he is a, hered itary peer; a.nd, on the other hand, room must be found for a full representation of our great pro- Consuls, Soldiers, Governors, Civil Servants, and persons of admitted public service. Therefore, the hereditary element, which to carry on tradition, must be preserved, must be a selected body of representatives chosen by the Peers from among themselves. A third element, too, must be introduced—"a third element," in Mr Balfour's words at Nottingham, "which should at least equal the other two elements together brought into the Seoond Chamber by some external machinery, elective or otherwise, but not by the Second Chamber itself, to repre- I ion. sent great bodies of external public opinion." Thus wo shall construct a Second Chamber winch must carry with it the consent and respect of all. And for the differences which must ar.i&0? If the two Chambers disagree, and if the question is of sufficient importance there is, and there must remain, but one arbiter—the people of the countrv. Minor disagreements and differences, no doubt, may be settled by joint conferences in most cases. For you cannot appeal to the people on everv small occasion. But to secure that the voice of the people, if there is any doubt about it, a-nd if the issue warrants the appeal, s-MH unfailingly be heard-that is a principle for which the Unionist Party has fought and will fight tiU victory makes it for ever secure.
"Cramming" for Examinations.

"Cramming" for Examinations. Professor J. E. Lloyd delivered a time-lv pro-test at Colwyn Bay, on Friday, against the practice of "cramming" for examinations. He had, certainly, nothing new to add on the subject, and be only repeated in other words what has been frequently said in Colwyn Bay and elsewhere during the past decade. But, iteration can have only a beneficial result ion this matter for it is to be feared that the evil is a growing one. County and Secondary Schools of various kinds arc multiplying steadily, and there is no gainsaying the temp- tation facing the teachers when competition is so keen. School governors, and possibly the parents themselves, are largely respon- sible for the practice, because they insist upon examination "passes" either out of pride for the reputation of their school or of ambitious desires for the temporary success of their children. We say "temporary" ad- visedly, because experience has taught most of us by this time that the "crammed" pupil's success is only too frequently evanes- cent; it is the pupil who doggedly ploughs through ail the details of his subject, and digests them, that attains permanent know- ledge. Professor Lloyd dwelt emphatically upon this fact. He might have added that the practice is equally reprehensible' on the ground that it almost invariably means "suc- cess" of the few at the expense of the many, for teachers devote more time and attention to the few "promising" pupils than to the majority who are only of average ability. Cramming is also open to criticism on the score of the physical strain it imposes ulitu the pupil. So 4ong as the examination sys- tern remains, however, there is little hope for the extinction of the "crammer," and we do not quite see how Professor Lloyd recon- ciles his views upon examinations with those he expressed upon tho cramming practice.
---:;;----Advsriising Colwyn…

Advsriising Colwyn Bay. A very satisfactory report was presented at the annual meeting of the Colwyn Ray Town Advertising Association, to-day week. Hitherto, the Association has been severely handicapped by want of funds, much of the member's' energies being spent in evolving schemes for collecting money rather than upon the administrative duties which should be properly theirs. By a wise action on the part of the Urban District Council, however, they have now been placed for the first time in a position to perform their work properly. We refer to the letting of the foreshore to the Association for certain purposes. Though they paid a rental of R,30 for the foreshore privileges during the six summer months, they were able to sub-Jet to such good pur- pose that they derived a nett income of over £1é0 from tAat source alone. This, of course, practically meant a levy of a halfpenny rate on the district, and if every halfpenny of the local rates produced the eame return the rate- payers would have no cause for complaint. It 'is high time that at least part of the cost of advertising the town were shared between the ratepayers in general. The other chief item amongst the receipts was £ 64, the pro- fits on the May-day demonstration and concerts, which is a proof of the continued popularity of th.e festival. It is gratifying to note that, despite an outlay of 1-65 on rustic stalls used for hiring purposes, there is a balance in hand on ten months' working of .£119. An- other noteworthy fact is that the whole of the secretarial work costs £10 only. The Asso- ciation will in future probably concentrate the greater part of their attention upon boom- ing the town as a winter resort.

Church Defence. That Church defenders in Wales are very I much on the alert at the present time is abun- dantly clear. The various branches of that most valuable and important organisation, "Tho Central Committee for Church Defence and Instruction," are showing the greatest possible activity, and meetings are being held throughout the Principality at which the local results of 1)ii-erdov.irient axe being brought home to the people with telling effect. In this connection a very useful syl- labus for the use of speakers has been adopt- ed both in North and South Waies, giving many points and much useful information bearing upon the subject. We note that in the Bangor Diocese arrangements am b::in' coillp-et.ed for lectures to be given in every parish during the winter "to expose the iniquitous proposals cf the last Disestablish- ment Bill." and it is suggested that incum- be-nts should prepare a statement f-ho wing how much of the endowments would remc„i towards the maintenance of religion in each parish if Mr Asquith's Disendow.mcnt pro- posals became the law of the land. It is certain that all this work wall put a great tax upon the Central Committee's funds, and we trust that the special appeal, which we understand is about to be issued7~will meet with a speedy and generous response.
Notification of Births.

Notification of Births. Passed with tie intention of reducing the high rate of mortality among infants, the Notification of Births Act does not appear to have obtained adequate attention from many local authorities. In fact, the Carnarvon- shire Council are now circularising Urban and Rural District Councils in the country urging them to reconsider the Act with a view to its general adoption. That a certain amount of misconception prevails with regard to the Measure there can be no doubt, and certain remarks made at the Llanrwst Urban District Council meeting, on Pri.day evening, o:A2rv to emphasise this fact. It appears to be more or less generally believed that the Act compels a parent toO personally notify a birth within six hours of too occurrence. That would obviously involve considerable inconvenience, if not hardship, in many, if not most instances in rural areas, because it usually happens that the medical officer, to whom the notice must be given resides some miles away. It should be made quite dear that no such regulation is enforced. The two material clauses in the Act re-ad thus:—(1) "In the case of every child born in an axe a in which this Act is adopted, it shall be the duty of the father of the child, if he is actu- ally residing in the house where tho birth takes place, at too time of its occurrence, and of any person in attendance upon the at the time of, or within six hours after, the birth, to give notice in writing of the birth to the medical officer of health for the district in which the child is born." (2) "Notice under this section shall be given by posting a prepaid letter or postcard ^1- dressed to the medical officer of health, at his office or residence, giving the necessary in- formation of the birth wiitbin thirty-six hours after the birth, or by delivering a written notice of the birth at the office or residence of tire medical officer, within the same time." Thus, there is no harsh or unreasonable fea- ture about the Act, ar.4, now that the public are 60 fully alive to desirability of profes- sional nurse service in these cases, local authorities shc-uld do all they can to save child life by adopting the Act.

ST. ASAPH ON A SUNDAY. (To the Editor of the "North Wales ChrC:1icI().") Sir,—I was much pleased with your remarks a week or two ago as to th.) disreputable state of St. Asaph on a Sunday. As for the police, they seem to be lamentably inactive; in Roberts the chandler's time the little city was a pattern of good order, but alas! at present, it is quite the reverse. On Sunday last, as a couple of ladies were wending their way from the Mount-road, about ten or a dozen blackguards were assembled under the piazzas at the Top Shop, the younger of the two ladies was obl'ged to step into the muddy road to oscape them, whilst her companion man- aged, after being rudely jostled, to get round the corner without stepping in the mud, and when rejoined by her companion, the worthies set up a loud "yaw haw," and passed sundry rude remarks; in fact, this style of things has beoorue an intolerable nuisance. I hope and trust you will give this a corner in your valuable paper, with the hope that the landlord of that establishment may see the pro- priety o'f stopping such uneernly doings in future. I feel persuaded it is quite out of the question, anticipating any interference from the police stationed in th's cltv.-I am, faithfully yours, A 1,0 VER OF ORDER. St. Asaph, November 28th.

After opening the YOllng Scots Club, at Edinburgh, on Satuiday evening, Mr Lloyd George tct off upon a tour through 1Ld- iothian, a constituency which, in his own phrof»?, is consecrated to Liberals by its associations with "tho Grand Old Man" of Liberalism. At a still let. r hour tho Chan- cellor motored through this combined coun- ties of Peebles and Selkirk, and at a. number of plooes in both constituencies he addressed meetings in support of the respective mem- bers and candidates, the Master of Klibank and Mr Donald Maclean. The tour proved to 03 a trying physical feat. Most of the meetings were held in the open air, and part of the route was covered with several inches of snow. The fir&t halt wad celled at Loajihcad, a. village on the rise of the Pentland Hills. Here, in the village street, a. platform had been improvised, and in their wild enthusiasm the villagers all but carried thair burly member and -the fur-clad Chancellor from the car to the rostrum. The party them proceeded to the village of Peni- cuik, where the entire population seemed to be awaiting their arrival in the square. The Chancellor's oar was practically by almost frenzied enthusiasts, and the two fœtAtid Yard men commissioned to see to his safety had an anxious time. Then the party drove on to the market town of Peebles, in Mr Maclean's constitu- ency. Here, at the burgh boundary, weae waiting a score of torch-bearers, who, form- ing in-to lino on either side of the car, es- corted the Chancellor to the Liberal dub, amid a perpetual roar of cheering. From the balcony of the Liberal Club, Mr Lloyd George addressed about 2000 people. A few jniles more of rapid motoring thiough the srow-oovered Scott country brought the party to Inverk'ithem. There, the enthusiasm of the electors found a new foriti of expression. The Chancellor's cer was held up on the out- skirts of the township, and a dozen stalwart Scotsmen fixed a rope to the car and drew it through cheering crowds to an open space in the main street. Here again a tew words of goodwill and encouragement were given, and ag<ain the Chancellor left, amid a tornado of cheers, for his final meeting, which was held in the Public Hall of the vii-LIOge of Walker- burn. Mr Lloyd George afterwards pro- ceeded with his host to the Master of bank's local residence, Jurtfcper Bank, where lie spent the Dght. The jnotor tour -can- braced a route of thirty-four miles.

MR BONAR LAW IN LANCASHIRE. I A CONVINCING- CANDIDATE. There is no doubt, as every Unionist there is happily convinced, that Mr Law's methods are very effective, though quiet, with Man- chester. He is, in fact, the despair of spe- photographears now in Manchester, who try in vain to find him in fierce actlion- shouting hotly from a wagon in the street ob paying special attention to slum babies. Mr Boiior Law dees none of these picturesque tilings. He is a very busy man all day, but ho does not waste too much energy m the streets. He has no idea. or intention of mak- ing a personal canvass, and there arc prac- tically no open-air meetings. He has found a better way of delivering the message be has brought to Mianchester. It needs broader treatmecit than that of talking to individuals, and at every large meeting he has addressed on the subject of Tariff Reform he has found enthusiastic audiences and plenty of willing converts. The people want to hear about Tariff Reform and Mr Bonar Law is giving it to tlwm in the way they want. If Mr Bonar Law wins the seat-and his position seems to improve every dav-the. vic- tory will be due to his par-soneil popularity as much as to anything else. In spite of his quiet methods, and Mr Churchill's exhorta- tcon to Manchester to vote for Sir George Kemp and ignore the stranger, North-West Manchester has taken very kindly indeed to the fighter from Dulwuch. They like his simple, direct manner. As Manchester says, he has no affectations. We know the story of the men who said: "I'm not arguing with you; I'm telling you." Mr Bonar Law is exactly the opposite. He comes to argue and remains to convince.

THE TWELVE APOSTLES. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, tie re- ported elsewhere, Epolce on Saturday in Edin- burgh, and olios more his spcoccl1 was adorned by fjomie choice flowers of rhetoric—more or less accurate. Lord Curson, he told hie hear- ers, had 6eid that the best work in the woiild had been done by aristocracy. The Chan- cellor added: Lord Curzon evidently did not think much of tho Christian religion. He would have thought more of it if it had been pro- pagated, not by twelve Galilean fishermen, but by a dozen dukes. Ties, again, after denouncing the House of Loetvis as "a purely indefensible institu- tion," the Chancellor added: Take the majority of the Peers. What about thean.? "The curse of man has never sprinkled their brow. The earning of bread by the sweat of their brow its un- known to them. They are born within that magic circle —- cherubim with flaming swoirds that 'guard' the paradise where plenty is obtained without labour." The good taste of the frequent Scriptural referenees is at least questionable. But is Mr Lloyd George accurate in his allusion to "twelve Galilean fishermen?" It would be interesting to know on what autho- rity the Chancellor of the Exchequer has assigned the calling of fisherman to all the Apoetles. We know that Peter, Andrew, James, and John were fishers, for they left their nets and followed Christ. But was Matthew a fisherman as well as a tax-col- lector? Was Judas Iscariot a fisher man as well as treasurer and traitor? And Paul, who was called an Apostle after the death of Judaea was a tent-maker.

FROM THE CONSTITUENCIES. NO FORM IV. IN IRELAND. "The Government has not dared to issue a. single copy of Form IV. in Ireland. Why? Because, when they were framing the Bud- get, they forgot the hundreds and thousands of peasant farmers in Ireland, who, by the Imperial credit, and 'by the security of Eng- lish money, had been made owners of their own land through the policy of the Unionist Government (cheers). I venture to think t,hat unless they were to eend an army be- hind the process-server the Government dare not send a single one of those forms into Ire- land. They -had form—the publi- can's form.

To prevent this loss of through traffic the penny stage to Craigydon was abolished, as well as another penny stage in the .town. The Urban Dis- trict Council of Llandudno endeavoured to secure the restoration of the stages, but un- successfully, and after considerable negotia- tion they made a representation to the iioird of Trade to the effect that the Company were not carrying out their Order, which requires that there shall be penny stages of not less than half a mile each or fares at the rate of a penny per half mile. Mr Ivi'innes, the manager, now announces- that the penny stages are to be arranged. The Llandudno terminus is to be removed to a loop a little distance nearer the shore at West Llandudno, and the first stage will end at Deganwy-street, instead of at tiie Mostyn- etrcet corner. The next stage will be from Deganwy-street to aughan-street, and tho third from Vaughan-stieet to Queen 's-road, Craigydon. At the Colwyn Ba.y end, the first etage will be from Station-road to B romp ton- avenue, which is a little shorter than the pre- sent one, and the over-lapping stage w,il.i be abolished. There are to be ten stages al- together. Two of them terminate at loops in the fields to which there is not very direct access, and one ends at what seems now to be generally known as "Budget Toll gate," near the Rhos golf-house. If t-ue pen-ay stages are adhered to in lieu of the existing through fares, the cost of the journey from Vaughan- street, Llandudno, to Station-road, Colwyn Bay, will be Sd, and from one end of the line to the other 10d.
