A Political Statement from 1909

'...What measure of success he had attained - he did not say this boastfully, but to encourage others - was due to consistent hard work. He entered public life because he thought it the duty of every citizen to render some service to the parish or the town where he lived, and the greater the privileges they enjoyed in this respect the greater were their responsibilities.'
 
Cardiff Times, 27 March 1909, detailing a speech made by Alderman Lewis Morgan, Lord Mayor of Cardiff
