LIBERALS PLANS
PROVE UNPOPULAR
Irish People Are DiSinCIined
to Support Premier As
Quith in Election

DUBLIN. Dec. 27.-Though the ma
tionalists have agreed as a party to
support the liberals in the coming cleo
tion, as a result Of Premier Asquith's
promise of partial home rule, the rank
and file of the Irish people deem the
premier's pledge wholly insufficient. and
are urging a more explicit state
mont from him.
II was Asquiths reference to safe
guarding the supreme and indefeasible
authority of the imperial parliament" in
his pledge which the Irish leaders re-
gard with suspicion. They say that
such a pledge simply means that the
liberals, II successful. will work for a
home rule parliament for Ireland en-
titled to make all the laws it likes. so
long as IL let's foreign and colonial af-
fairs alone, subject to the veto OF the
English parliament.
The veto limitation. the Irish say.
practically nullihes the whole thing.
Moreover. they might want to say
something about foreign and colonial
affairs, which. they think. interests
them as vitally as they interest Eng
land. Above all else. the Irish want to
handle their own financial affairs. while
the premier has argued in several Of his
recent speeches that the Irish cannot
support themselves, and that the Eng
ish must always aid them, and are,
therefore. entitled TO do it in their own
way.
While it is generally believed the
premier has stopped a long way short
of what Ireland wants. the Irish lead
ers will take what is offered on the
theory that it is a step in the right
direction. There is one contingency in
which the Irish party may stand a bet
ter chance in the next session OF par
lament than politicians are counting
on. If neither the liberals nor con-
servatives should have a majority Of all
the members of the house of commons
the combined Irish and socialists would
hold the balance of power.
Tho liberals have combined with the
labor party in which are many social
lists The out-and-out socialists. how
ever. refused to combine. and indica-
tions are that they win be strong in
the next parliament

AS MANY DOGS As
MEN In THIS TOWN

Probably the doggiest town in Great
Britain is Haverfordwest, in Penn
brokeshire.
There are many men in the town who
live wholly, and make a good living
by breeding. buying and selling dogs.
Although the population is only 600O
at least 5000 dog licenses are issued
annually and there are also a large
number Of exemptions
Almost daily there are more dogs
than people in the public streets. though
valuable animals are never allowed to
run loose.
Tramps and itinerant hawkers do not
/ find Haverfordwest attractive and un-
known postmen often complain Of torn
clothes and bites, while occasionally
letters are delivered in an erratic
fashion.
Rural postmen invariably carry
stout sticks, cyclists and motorists must
slow down or risk broken necks. and
compensation claims which would spell
absolute bankruptcy are continual.

these things: For this ahliction the
dogs were treated with carbolic acid

SPECIAL CARE FOR

Trainmen are warned that is a pas

precautions to guard his safety ant
that of other passengers. The com.
pany counsel says
"The carrier is not required TO ac.

mental OF physical infrmity are I'M
capable Of properly caring for them
