HAVE PRESS MEN A CONSCIENCE?
HAVE PRESS MEN A CONSCIENCE? To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAR SIR,-Is it true that a certain press man sat down to dinner at a certain hostelry at Cad- oxton this week, (1) without being invited, (2) without having the courage to pay for his dinner ? I hope it is not true.—Yours, &c., A CRICKETER."
A HINT TO CYCLISTS FROM GENERAL…
A HINT TO CYCLISTS FROM GENERAL LEE. To the Editor o/ the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,- Would you kindly allow me, through your columns, to venture to suggest to the cap- tains of the various local cycling clubs the advisability of instituting an annual "roadmen's dinner," as is done in other important cycling centres ? I should be glad, as an unattached cyclist, to subscribe to what I am sure would be an acceptable acknowledgment of the services of a class of men on whose exertions cyclists are very dependent. It would also serve as an encouragement to further efforts in improving our road surfaces in this district.—I am, &c., The Mount, Dinas Powis, Oct. 7. H. H. LEE.
AN ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA.
AN ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,-While walking in the dark alonl" Court- road, Cadoxton, on Wednesday evening, the 30th ultimo, at a fewminutes past ten o'clock, I noticed a very brilliant meteor or comet shoot across the sky. It seemed to start from the constellation Pegasus, passing through Cassiopia, and disap- pearing in the neighbourhood of the Great Bear. It was intensely bright about half-way, and appeared as if it was falling rapidly downwards to the earth. I should like to know of others who must have seen it if any explanation can be given by them or our scientific astrologers as to its ex- ceptional brilliancy and how close to the earth would it be, &c.-I am, &c., BARRY DOCK."
A WARNING NOTE FOR THE BARRY…
A WARNING NOTE FOR THE BARRY SCHOOL BOARD. -I The following letter appeared in our Cardiff con- temporaries on Tuesday last, and we reproduce it on account of its local interest SIR,—It is reported that there are 300 applications for the head teacherships at Holton-road (Barry) new school. I hope, in justice to 297 of these candidates, that superior merit and not personal considerations will influence the minds of the Board in their choice. It is said that the actual nominees have already been selected for each post. Whether this is correct or not it is premature to state, but if rumour proves true on the election day it will be my duty to communicate certain facts to you, sir, which will place the Board in a very unenviable position.-I am, &c., Oct. 5th. A CANDIDATE."
THE MILLION MORE SCHEME.;
THE MILLION MORE SCHEME. To the Editor of the BAKIIV DOCK NEWS.' DEAR SIR,-I beg to solicit your aid and sym- pathy in the "Million More Scheme," which is propagated by the United Kingdom Band of Hope Union. The objects of the >sch«ine are to dis- tribute copies of the enclosed, circular at every house in the United Kingdom, and to secure a million new members before the close of, the year. From the circular you will be able to see the objects of the scheme more clearly. I hope you will oblige by referring to the scheme in your columns this week. We need 100 earnest workers on the 17th and 24th instant, to dis- tribute copies of the enclosed circular in every house in our town and neighbourhood. I shall be very pleased to give any information which may be required.—Yours truly, 9, Barry-road, Cadoxton, J. H. EDWARDS. October 6, 1891.
MISS JENNER AND CARDIFF INFIRMARY.
MISS JENNER AND CARDIFF INFIRMARY. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,—My most cordial thanks are offered to the kind and sympathising public of Cardiff. On Infirmary Saturday, October 3rd, commencing with the new market (where, no doubt, the present tolls interfered with the generous response made to me in former years), I went to the Exchange and the following hotels :—The Alex- andra, the Grand, the Royal, and the Queen's, and to the Philharmonic and the Exchange Restaurants. I left off at 10 p.m., having con- cluded by collecting in the streets. My takings amounted to £2 5s Id in pennies, and £ i 2s bd in iilver-total, JS5 7s 7d-which will be handed over to the proper party next week. On Friday and Saturday next my first visit to Barry Dock will be paid (D.V.) to inaugurate an "annual collec- tions there in behalf of an institution that calls so loudly for generous and ready support, and I hope before Infirmary Saturday of 1892 arrives to have organised a body of women collectors throughout Cardiff and its suburbs, including Cadoxton-juxta-Bairy, Barry Dock, Cowbridge, and Llantrissant, and a body who will not rest satisfied till the present debt is wiped off, and the grand usefulness of the Infirmary extended rather than retarded as at present.-Yours faithfully, Typica, Wenvoe. GERTRUDE JEXNER.
POLICY V. PRINCIPLE, AND PRINCIPLE…
POLICY V. PRINCIPLE, AND PRINCIPLE V. POLICY. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,-The past week has been one of great interest to those who study the liquor ques- tion. The brewster sessions' reports show how extremes meet; the teetotaler and the brewer- in certain instances making a common cause in opposing new applications for licenses-they both profess to act for policy and principle. In most of these instanceg. it is a difficult matter to con- ceive the wisdom*of such policy or the truth of such principle. In an age of pliabilitty these are synonymous terms, and mean nothing more than. the expedient. The licensee resorts to opposition because of the peculiarity of the trade," and the teetotaler because in the articles of his foible it is the panacea. These puny, narrow-minded rules of action are wrong in theory, injurious in prac- tice, and condemned by experience. Faction administration of whatever nature, whether it be teetotalism or jacobinism, will breed discontent and hatred and lead to contention. There is a kind of crusade impelled by fanati- cism—and resisted with rapacity—going on in our country. It is very questionable if there is any good being done by the ill-conceived methods of reform adopted by the temperance party. The Board of Trade returns prove otherwise. Legislation has beer called in to regulate "the trade," and check its growth by withholding licenses. Has this policy of protection—bjr license and duty-been the means to decrease the traffic in intoxicating drinks ? or has it curtailed its in- fluence ? or has it abated its deplorable conse- quences ? Consider these questions. (1) The national drink bill has ranupbyleapsand bounds. Such expenditure for drink is not known in the history of any great nation. (2) The influence of the trade is more powerful in local and im- perial matters than any other single business and greater than it ever has been. The various attrac- tions in the gin palaces are such that would be impossible without the British licensing laws. Up to the period when this crusade began, this de- moralising business was conducted as an hostelry in the roadside inn, in sup- plying the necessary wants of the traveller and posting the mail coach. The transfer of the business to a monopoly made the roadside inn a public-house, and converted the old tavern into the modern drinking castle, and the monopoly created increases its power and extends its in- fluence, and this in a large measure through the policy pursued by the temperance party. 3. If an account be taken of the immediate consequences of the liquor traffic it will be found still more deplorable and far-reaching than :\1i any ¡ past period in our national history. The curse of thousands of individuals, the reign of misery in many homes, and the blasting element in the nation's influences, has not been abated by the tinkering of fanatical license crusaders. I have now known what has been done in the name of I temperance for at least 30 years, and am con- vinced that urban districts;are faar more? (drunken, while rural districts shew an improvement for the better this view I believe is correct if applied to the resultsifof the working of the-Welsh Sunday Closing Act. The grocer's license and the out- door license were in the first instance granted by Parliament in the interests of temperance, but the end is worse than the beginning, and the discretionary powers of justices in grant- ing licenses is worse than the disease, being no other than a premium on the promotion of drink- ing clubs, and a bribe to illicit trade. This morbid effort in dealing with such a gigantic monster is so wretched that, unless a sounder policy and a better principle be adopted, it will eventually undermine and overthrow law and order," and paralyse the administration, and bring the state into contempt and its most vital interests into jeopardy. I have largely trespassed on your space, and this question being so vast and momentous, I think it advisable to defer further treatment at present. Well knowing that your columns are ever open to discuss any questions of public interest, with your kind permission I will send you another letter.-Yours truly, Holton, Barry Docks, IVOR HARRIS. September 30, 1891.
THE N.V.A. AND CONVICTED CRIME.
THE N.V.A. AND CONVICTED CRIME. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,—It is interesting to find that so many of the readers of the Barry Dock News have real sympathy for a poor convicted criminal, but for An Old Sailor to expect that the Barry Dis- trict Branch of the National Vigilance Association will blow hot and cold is, to say the least of it, Utopian. The fact that educated men occupy- ing respectable positions in London Society are let off with paltry sentences of six and three months each for systematic and long-continued adulterous conduct with children under age" should lead An Old Sailor," and all who see with him, to call the attention of the Home Sec- retary to the many cases in which the sentences are ridiculously light, and out of all proportion to the character of the offence committed. For the information of "An Old Sailor," and all the readers of the Barry Dock NevtsJ. will here insert the law relating to the offence of which the man Concannon was found guilty. Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1885, sec. 4, says-" Any person who unlawfully and carnally knows any girl under the age of thirteen years shall be guilty of felony, and, being convicted thereof, shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be kept in penal servitude for life, or for any term not less than five years, or to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years, with or without hard labour. Seeing that the prisoner referred to could, according to the Act just cited, have been sent to penal servitude for life the sentence passed cannot be considered extreme. One of the efforts of the National Vigilance Association has been to try and strengthen rather than weaken the hands of our judges in relation to the protection of young girls and women, and for the Barry District Branch of the N.V.A to carry out the suggestion of An Old Sailor," and others, would be to cover its work with ridicule. The Barry Dock News was foremost in drawing our attention to the immoral condition of some of the people of the neighbourhood, and we are certain will not be behind in seeking to have full justice done to the oppressors of the young women and girls of Wales. <:> THE SECRETARY. South Wales Branch of the National Vigilance Association, Cardiff. Our respected correspondent has laid par- ticular stress upon the fact that Coneannon was liable to penal servitude for life. Would it not have been just also to underline the fact that he was equally liable to one hour's imprisonment OH/y ? —ED.
THE CONTINUITY THEORY.
THE CONTINUITY THEORY. To the Editor of the BABRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,-As regards the three creeds-the Apostles', the Nicene, and the Athanasian-all three, if believing them is made an article of faith essential to salvation, are thereby con- stituted additions to the Word of God in the Holy Scriptures—additions to the last boo!: of Holy Seripture, namely, the Revelation. And of such additions it is written :—"And if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book." (Revela- tion xxii,18.) I, therefore, ask your correspondent, Owen C. H. King, this question-Does the Church of Rome make belief in these three creeds essen- tial to salvation ? Hereford.
THE CONTINUITY THEORY.
THE CONTINUITY THEORY. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,-My Romanist correspondents have put so much value on my letters, and have kindly sent me such a number of their pamphlets, leaflets, an 1 magazines, that I cannot leave them without a word of acknowledgment. These have, I am sorry to say, been quite useless to convince me of my errors, in fact, I find them singularly wanting in logic and argument. I have no doubt they answer their purpose with non-informed readers. It is jtterly impossible for me just now to con- tinue the correspondence. May I, however, point out that though 1 was myself unwilling to attack their peculiar tenets, yet the letter of "Catholieos," though they may affect to despise it, has touched the very matters which must ever prevent intellectual educated men joining them in any number in these days. The retrospect dogma of infallibility, for example. How can we sub- scribe to it when we think on the disgraceful papal abuses of the boy Pope, Benedict IX, or that monster in human form, Rodrigo Borgia Again, as to mariolatry, though Mr King says the quotation of Augustine is nothing to the pur- pose, he does not deny the truth of the quotation. Christ and His Apostles knew nothing of Mary, as Queen of Heaven. Paul, writing to the first Bishop of Ephesus, says, "There is one God and one Mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus." Romanists say "Oh, no; there are a vast number, and at their head, Mary." The Church of England has purified herself from these and like doctrines. She has never been fidly in bondage to Rome, and though the ex- treme Ritualistic cult appeared for a time likely to, in fact did, take some of our weaker brethren to Rome—like my correspondent, Mr Fletcher, who tells us he used to burn incense before service to make the church smell Catholic," and so on- still I trust and believe that we are now entering on a more solid course. Rome asks us to believe too much-for instance, eleven thousand virgins in a small continental city, with possibly half that number of inhabi- tants, and so on. Mr King is scarcely courteous or complimentary to the knowledge of your readers in making such cock-sure assertions as to Barlow's consecration and the Apostolic succession. Rome herself makes out a very poor claim to this from the shadowy Linus and St. Peter down to far graver doubts. All things in these days must prepare for the strong light of examination and scrutiny. I am fairly well read on both sides of the question, and without the least bitterness to my Roman brethren I say emphatically that to me it appears the Anglican Church has far and away the best of the argument for continuity. For any sake do not let us have all the fearful mediajval Romish and Protestant abuses recapitulated for your general readers.—I am, Sir, vours obediently, Barry. W. B. WHALL.
BARRY (U.D.) SCHOOL BOARD…
BARRY (U.D.) SCHOOL BOARD AND THE TRADES COUNCIL DEPUTATION. To the Editor 0; the" BARRY DOCK NEWS." SER,—The importance of our communication is our apology for asking you to kindly insert this letter in reply to that of Mr Symonds published in your issue of September 25th ultimo, regarding the above deputation. In the first place, we, the deputation, desire to disarm Mr Symonds of any intention on our part to cast any reflection, or aspersion, upon him as a contractor, or as to the character of his work in the erection of the Holton-road Schools. To prove this, we beg to say that we prefaced our remarks with the words We do not wish to attack any individual employer, but simply to attack what we consider an unfair method of employing labour. We shall now deal with each point as set forth in Mr Symonds' letter. 1st.—Concerning Mr Harper's remarks he (Mr Symonds) seems to have either misunderstood, or wilfully misconstrued, the nature of his statements, as Mr Harper did not deal so much with the fact of what the sub-let. contract of the Holton School amounted to, as to the fact that a certain sum of money was expended out of the district in which the schools were being built. Mr. Harper is also accused of ignorance of the subject he was speaking upon, but our opinion is that Mr Symonds came to such a conclusion owing to his inability to comprehend his accusers' meaning. According to Mr Symonds' own confession he admits that Mr Harper knew a little of the matter he was talking about, as he himself admits having sub-let a portion of this work to the Cardiff Steam Joinery Company therefore, the difference lies only in the sum paid for the work done. 2nd-Again, Mr Symonds accuses Mr Harper of being in error in saying that we were only asking for what had been already granted in Cardiff. Mr Harper's version was quite correct, but it would not appear so in the light it was set forth by Mr Symonds, that of disallowing any steam joiner to carry out any of their work. There is a clause inserted in every contract let by the Cardiff Corporation that all firms who undertake their work, whether it be made in steam joineries or elsewhere, must recognise and pay the trade union rate of wages. Regarding Mr Codd, a master plasterer of Cardiff, we may here state that the deputation made no reference to him therefore, we shall simply leave that irrelevant matter, by merely stating that Mr Codd does not pay half- penny per hour more than any other sub-con- tractor of plastering. 3rd-Mr Symonds agrees with Mr Rees as to let ting contracts to local men, but is at a loss to know where Mr Rees draws the line. He draws the line here. Mr Symonds having taken the contract for the Holton-road Schools, should, in all fairness, have the greater part of his work done on the premises, or in the district where he has his contracts, and not, as Mr Symonds shows in his letter, send it to Cardiff to be partly done in his shop, and partly svt>-let it. Neither is Mr Symonds a resident. True, he is entered as an owner of property, assessed at JM90, but does that constitute a ratepayer? Emphatically uNo," though he boasts of paying morej-ates and taxes than any single resident contractor in the place. Mr Symonds' tenants seem to us to be the most fortunate residents in the district: no rates to pay, no taxes, that is, if we accept Mr Symonds' version of things. 4th-Undoubtedly, he has misunderstood Mr lhomas' words, as he made no mention whatever of paying train fares from Cardiff, much less imply that Mr Symonds did so for his workmen. What he said he still maintains, viz., that local contractors hawe more interest in doing their work well than a contractor from a distance, as the letting of future contracts would depend upon the manner they had executed the former ones. In a great measure, this would apply to a strange contractor, with this very great difference, that local men tender much oftener than any other, thereby would run the risk of the tenders being more often refused. In conclusion, we beg to thank Mr Symonds for the compliment paid us of dealing in general- ities, as we did not meet the School Board with the specific object of dealing with his contract at the Holton School, but sub-letting generally. Hoping Mr Symonds will require no plainer language than the above, we remain, yours, &c., W. HARPER, vice-president; G. BROCK, treasurer; J. REES, secretary; T THOMAS, assistant secretary Members of the deputation. Cadoxton, October 7th, 1891.
PENABTH^CtOaSIE
PENABTH^CtOaSIE CHEEK Who the Dickens is "The little Don," and who the Dickens gave him leave to monopolize a seat on the reporters' bench at last Saturday's football match ? Some people are blest with a vast amount of assurance, at any rate! The committee will see, in future, that only press men sit at the reporters' table, and there isn't the ghost of a chance of any man, except he be a reporter, plant- ing himself there again. PENARTH WATER. There is a great deal of private discussion going on about the Penarth water. Some people would have us believe it is perfectly pure, whilst others contend it is altogether unfit for drinking pur- poses. According to one gentlemen it is excellent -but excellent only as a means of affording a good study of insect life. TEMPERANCE. And so the Church of England Temperanee Society is likely to succeed ? Yes, sir. Very likely you see the platform is broad. They admit abstainers and non-abstainers. Some very experienced and energetic workers have joined the movement, and this augurs well for its future pros- perity. "How is the Blue Ribbon movement get- ting on in Penarth ?"Dead, Sir-dead as a door nail."—" And the Good Templars ?" Living, but comatose."—"Ah weH, let us hope that the Rev Mr Roberts will succeed. May he breathe lifeintothedeadbonea ot these almost defunct societies and cause them to live. Good night! My best wishes for success." OLD STAOISB." What right had Old Stager to go out of his way and devote such a large portion of what should have been a description of Saturday's match to unlimited abuse of some of those who were keeping order on the Penarth new football ground ? Surely the club committee have a right to appoint whom they like, and as many as they like, to assist themin having things carried out in a decorous and decent manner ? And, because a man gives a guinea to a club, it doesn't follow that he is a "notoriety hunter." And, because a certain number of the Penarth F. C. committee were walk- ing about keeping the people from getting under the wire rope, it doesn't at all follow that they were frantically endeavouring to connect themselves with the show. Let Old Stager mind his own business, and leave the Penarth foot- ball committee to look after theirs. A description of the match, my boy. No more abuse of officers in future.
HARVEST FESTIVAL AT PENARTH…
HARVEST FESTIVAL AT PEN- ARTH PARISH CHURCH. The harvest festival of the Penarth Parish Church was held on Wednesday evening last, the sacred edifice being beautifully and tastefuily decorated for the occasion. Mr Curthoys kindly supplied flowers; Mr D. Rees, the bread and Mr H. Snell, the fruit, grass, and evergreens Miss Greenhill took charge of the pulpit decorations, Miss Sweet-Eseott and Mr S. Biggs of the pillars, Miss Thomas of the font, Miss De-Santory of the choral stalls, and Mrs Proctor and Miss Thomas attended to the work of ornamenting the west end of the Church. The musical portion of the service consisted for the greater part of Garrett's Harvest Cantata. This, upon the whole, was capitally rendered, the only weak part being the work of the tenors. The cantata opens with a bass recitative, which was taken by Mr Quintrell. Then came a full chorus by the choir, and a semi-chorus, by the sopranos. Master White went through his reci- tation in a most creditable and efficient manner. The church was crowded long before the time fixed for the commencement of the service, and many could not possibly obtain admission. The Archdeacon of Monncouth was the preacher, and his impressive sermon was listened to with great attention by the large congregation.
