SWANSEA'S TRIBUTE. I There has never been an occasion in the political life of Swansea to parallel last night's Úmdion at the Albert Hall. Since Reform flays wo have been represented in the HOllse of Commons by distinguisheil and good men for all but a short interval, by followers of the pro- gressive cause. We recall the ser- vices of Mr. Dillwyn. that watch- dog of the sturdiest Radicalism, the faithful pioneer in the long struggle for religious equality. We remem- ber with gratitude the fervent speech and the burning enthusiasm of Mc. Burnie, memory of whom still has power to inspire us when we attempt to carry on in the faith ill which he lived and died. And wo bring to mind with pleasure the genial representation of Sir George Xewnes, his political and business sagacity, his loyalty to Liberal principles and his many kindnessus to Swansea. The trio who were the chosen of the progressive element of the town over a period of many years have been gathered into their rest, and we honour their names. Sir Nfoiid foll()\A, them as the member for a constituency whose political traditions are not small, and we 1 ink his name to theirs with pride, for he has worn worthily the mantle of Dillwyn. For close on ten years now lie has represented, first the I own, and since the redis- tribution, the west constituency and last night we think Swansea showed him very plainly that it was not un- thankful. Sir Alfred Mond, for five of the years of his representation, has been member for Swansea during the most critical days througn which the empire has ever been oil to iN, c, r e years tit at demanded much of us, the best wo could give. Patriots laid their utmost upon the altar of service. Thousands offered their all. We were fortunately placed in Swansea, for we had as one of our members a Ulan of gifts that were peculiarly [ in requisition during the struggb. There was war upon the long line from the dunes of Flanders to the mountains; and there was not a less real. war waged upon the home front. In the memoirs that Ger- man commanders are pouring out on the world, there is one common cry: Oh if our home organisation had been equal to the craft of our soldiers! Wo do not accept their excuses; the Boehe was beaten soundly on the field. Hut it s nevertheless true as a principle that behind tho warriors in modern war we must have amassed the brain power of our political and business leaders, or also the bravery of the one is undone. We won our war because the land was organised thoroughly for the seniee of the field, and for the feeding of the- suldicrs-in munitions, in cheer, in confidence—by the political and. business men who directed the struggle on the home front. They held up the arms of our wonderful men, and they never tired. It would be a twice-told tale if we enlarged here upon Sir Alfred Mond's services in the latter direc- tion. They have, been attested by competent critics, by the greatest I)v tlte ,,t-(.tzAtc?'t leader*. Tt was not a fortnight ag > that Moulton first told the country had meant to the Allied cause. A year ago, when Sir Alfred was. heavily beset, he wrote to the constituency a mes- sage in which he spoke just as generously, although not perhaps under such dramatic conditions as his second appreciation! It was knowledge of his unexampled work for Britain that brought around him December sut- h an array of wit- nesses. The wonder of .it is now— dS we look bne k to the electoral con- test—that the volume of their evi- dence, the strength of it, the con- viction in it, did not at once silence those who set themselves to mini- mise his great services. Well, we may regard the incident as closed "—closed in such com- plete triumph for the man attacked that the occasion is surely unique in political life-in Wales at any rate. We have a habit of loyalty as Welsh people. We are net forgetful, un- grateful. We like to tell a man who nns -served us well that he has served us well. That was what Swansea West said to Sir Alfred Mond last night. It gave him its Well-done And in doing so we honoured ourselves as much as we honoured hiui. jt

"Ob, no', it 's because there',s only one" n in it," replied the joker. Now thn' our Bradbury's are h' coming Fishers." it is natural that the "sharks" should turn their atttntion t'J them. So i„ behoves all to take the warn- i'l: of the" Tei(lor night 'xnd loot o. for counterfeits. — m t— A Greek sponge merchant who did re- cently, stated in his will that he did not leave hid relatives any money because 110 considered legacies an insult. We know thousands of people would willingly pocket such insults. -:0:- Stop the Was'e!" shrieh the placard of a Sunday paper upon the .Swansea tram-cars.

How- ever (a correspondent points out) tilt m is room for improvement here, as tl 'et-o is in many English chapels as well. A poster in a Wind-street window pane seems to want some explanation. There is a picture of an excited man in Piccadilly Circus, with a note-book and red pencil in his hand. and the wording is, To ?ecomptish this, use one of So- and-So's silk (ii,VN'tiv the same thing could not he done with the aid cf a. penny scribbling pad and a two-ar penny pencil is not clear. — :e: — Many married men are seriously alarmed at the proposal of the Swansea drapers to start their winter sales en January !Ith. 1920. The main objection, it would appear, is that, they consider the da te too soon after the Christmas holidays. As one of them remarked yesterday: X'1 sooner will be getting on our feet, fl* it were, after, the Christmas expenditure; than onr women folk will be rc,,)rtin, fe) their usual ante-sale tactics, with di" trous results to onr pockets!" The habitues of the Church Club, Mumbles, toked very disconsolate on Fri- day evening.
