SHOCKS FOR THE EISTEDDFOD.
SHOCKS FOR THE EISTEDDFOD. Not even the National Eisteddfod is immune from the restlessness of the age! During the past fortnight shocks have been administered to it which we might hope—did we not know how secure are its foundations and privileg — would shltke it badly; but IhS eistfeddfod has Bur. vived many attacks, and doubtless will get over the last, and the ^o-rst; series of all. And yet we cherish the faith that whatever is siricere and disinterested in recent criti- cisms of the ihsfitiitibih may be al lowed to wbl;1{ unbpbosed Ictf the good of the national festival, for it stands greatly in need of ehsingO. The eisteddfod itself has degener- ated; and the public view bf it has become vulgar. The eisteddfod hfts become more than ever an enter- tainment platforrii, ttnd the geneHi view bf its. success is coloured by its financial results. Thu§ the Cbrwen irieeting is popularly acclaimed liugi triumph—-because it netted a great sum in ticket-money! Even so has the glory deported; the Philistine with the shekels has conquered.. We will let the scholars dispute over the discoveries of Iolo Mor- gan wg's alleged hoaxes and for- geries. If the iconoclasts are right, and the Gorsedd litany does not come tO us from the past, but is thA, I work of the misdireetevl genius of Ioloeven if the Gorsedd is stripped of its hoary tradition by modern literary explorers who have no in- terest to serve but that of naked truth; we will refuse to be miser- able. For there is much foolishness now veiling the Gorsedd that ought to be torn away* much nonsense tiiat e' £ gife§ tslifc laughter arid nor the respect of the modern man. It will be a. 9664 th-iiig if ruthless hands tear away the silly mysteries worshipped by Stone in the bardic circle. But criticism is also being directed to a more sferioUs matter: the ae?ual working î the eisteddtW itself. More .promising still, the Bpiritual failure of the emeddiod i? :Jih6.a.<SA"Jt.lY-.r-dA.ff > ,f" :) .It: J being declared by "those wh » love Wales and cherish a Celtic vtsion. We rejoice in this, because for years we have protested, with all the strength we can command, against the growing vulgarisation of the I eisteddfod, and against the increa.s- ing materialistic tendencies dis- played within it. And we welcome the pbwerful advocacy of The Welsh Outlook towards root and branch reform. What is the indictment? It is that the eisteddfod is "a material success—was not the Gorweri meet- ing hailed as a great success be- cause it took heaps of gate money! --but a spiritual failure. The Eisteddfod encourages vulgarity of mind. It is ignorant of its high function. It establishes no standards of tone and taste. It i6 unmindful of its fruits. It is a failure because it does not elevate. Hsirdly can it be said that it teaches. It merely amuses. A heavy charge; but we believe i to be a true one. For the eistedd- fod has no ideal. It has no ambi- tiori but to gather crowds, and sell ..as many high-priced tickets as pos- sible. Youth is not taught, nor old age cor- rected, and the reason is that the Eisteddfod has no faith, not even a creed. It has no knowledge. It defers not kno* thfe ingredients of the art to which it solely deditdtes itself. It do& not know where its poetry and its prose and its dramas and its music stand. It rewards its poetry, but never reads it. It hte no conception of the function of drama as an art. It ii oblivious of the musical possibilities of the country. And as for Welsh prose, it is unaware of its existence. And we might add that it has al- lowed eornfriereial interests to enter and to use the eisteddfod for its own ends. — What reforms ttre nfee&ssary? Mr. Beriah Evan?-?old enough in th'? service of Wales for his views to be received with thai thê Eisteddfod must net be permit- ted to degenerate into a great com- petitive concert, overshadowing or excluding all other forms of art-. I- Music, and musical ccwirpetitions, must, of necessity have a place, and a prominent place1, but not a. domi- nant, certainly hot tlie predomi- n6.fit, cer i ain' I Y n nant, place in the festival." And he protests, as e protested last year after the unlovely scenes at Neath, that the parasitic "Cyrnanta Gann" must be subjected to a a effective sutgical operatidtl; reliev- ing the body eisteddfodic for ill time from an ähèn cankerous growth which threatcris to feap its vitality. "Those who witnessed the scenes at Birketihead, and still riiore emphatically at Neath, he sáys, "cannot fail to have realised that the cymanfa ganu wfes held not so much to the glory of God as to the on of man. The indietrrierit is earned 6n by thé Rev. Datid Davies. of Penarth, who Wlls an aniazirig story of suc- cessful essays that year by year re- main unpublished, and. asserts that the writers are told that they have no right whatever to the returh of their manuscripts although they re- tain the right of pÜblietltiorl after a lapse of a certain tiiliê; There must surely be a misunderstanding here! i The éourl 4 Chgntcery in bldfeti days," he sâÿs i I Woii an unenvi- able notoriety, as being the final testing place of everything en- trusted to it for just distribution or settlement. The National Eistedd- fod Assocíâtiori has (pre-eminently during the last decade) bidden fair to outrival that Court ifi its power to provide A burial beyond all hope of a resurrection to thj great bink of essays entrusted to it for publica- tion. It háS hêéome increasingly, and will be known to posterity as the National Eisteddfod Mauso- leum- The strenuous efforts made to stimulate the best brains of the tiatiorij iri producing Works which shall enrich our literature, are utterly paralysed by this huge colossus of aft Association, that in stantly squats dowii upon the pro- duction as a dfead Weight, econceal- ing them for ever from the light of day beneath its ilriWieldly and crushing haunches. With the thinly-veiled attacks upon persons we will have nothing to do until we heat the other side of the story. It is hard to crfedit ohe assertion that the Association is thooè mala business the critics allege it to be. But we är at oo; with them iii their condemnation of the Vulgarisation of tha eistedd fod. It has bee&ne a speetacie, atl aritertainriierit, ari amusemenl; everything and anything but an in- stitution to fericotlrage democratic culture; and the sooner the better the young mferi^ of Vv ales brave the Wtath of the traditionalists and thr; ritualists and the conmi'ercialists, and change the entire atmosphere surrounding it. .t:oJ.UC,I.r
IVISèoNT GREY.
IVISèoNT GREY. I Special Mission to Washington. I As announced in our last edition yes- terday, and foreshadowed earlier in the week, Viscount Grey has accepted the in- vit.ation of the Government to go on a mission to Washington to deal specially with the questions arising out of Peace. This announcement -vas made in the House of Commons on Wednesday by Mr. Jioaiatr Law, who also stated that this arrangement was to be pending the ap- pointment of a permanent Ambassador to the United States, which would be made in the early part of next year. Mr. Law's statement, which was mad" in reply to (Lionel A. Murray (Co. L., Kincardine) I was as follows:- I PEACE PROBLEMS. Fending the appointment oi a perma- nent Ambassador to the United States of America, which will be made in- the early part of the year, Viscount Grey of Fallodon—(cheers)—has consented to go on a mission to Washington 'to deal especially with the question arising out of peace. The Housè of Commons will, I am suM, sliar-, in the warm apprecia- tion which is felt by his Majesty's Gov- ernment at this patriotic action cii the part of Viscount Grey, which will, in the opinion of the Government, be of the highest value in its influence on the re- lations between the two Governments and peoples. (Cheers). Commander lvenworthj (L, Hull Cen- tral)—Cannot this distinguished states- man be appointed permanently ? i GOVERNMENT'S GRATITUDE. Âh. Bonar Law I clo not think an answer is reAlly The Govern- ment would be only too glad if he could have accepted the post permanently, but anyone who knows the disability under which Viscount Grey labours will share the Government's gratitude for the work he has undertaken. (Cheers.) Mr. T. P. O'Connor (I.N., Liverpool, Scotland): May I join in heartily con- gratulating the GMerIIient on obtaining the services of such a distinguished statesman, and may 1 ask if one of the instructions to Vifecbunt Grey will be to improve the relations between this country and the United States in regard to the Irish qucstioh? Mr, Bonar Law: Viscount Grey -frill, I am sure. do all iii his power to improve the relations Itetween the two countries.

Owen elicited from the chairman that the cost. with sewers, etc., might be 31550, and the loan would be repayable in about fifteen I vears.
