AN OLD TRUTH.

KxYHEN I'd impart moral lesson | spring it
wv many times; and so there's sameness I'm con-
fessn', in these uplifting rhymes. TIC old
tale must be repeated in lit and catch and rune,
or my intent would be defeated, for men forget
soon. These repetitions will not hurt you if they
should call to mind good old time substantial
virtue that you have left behind. 1t seems to me
all wasting, their coin they all unload with
merry steps I see them hasting along the poorhouse
road. A year two, when raging,
sailed wealth away; and talked, with faces
and aging, about the rainy day. But when the beast
ly over, with all its stress and din,
kicked around like mules in clover, and blew
money in And ever harder we are blowing our
little shining store; laugh like chumps to see it
going, and then blow in some more And people
say that l raving, and should take in my sign,
when I insist weekly saving, on putting coin in
brine. We're spending cash like drunken sailors,
orgy's Disgrace and some day we shall all
be walters down at the wailing place. Now is the
time, while moneys plenty, to make some assets
thrive; and out of every hard-earned twenty you
ought to five.

What Other Editors Say
VOTE ON IT!

VOTE CN II!
1t is predicted hat ,le pc4ce .rea,y vii be voted
on "by next Christmas
That is the forecast of Senator McCumber, repub-
lican, who favors ratification.
This is diseouraging
If the is to reject the treaty it should put
it to vote and end it, that the construction of a
new one may the earlier be begun
Some senator's, like Borah, for example, who an
nounced long before the treaty was drafted that
they would oppose it, whatever its provisions might
be, are doing their utmost to prevent vote
Others, conscientiousy, doubt profess to be
wiling to accept and ratfy the treaty providing
certain reservations made but they are apparent
ly not in favor of putting their reservation proposals
to vote of the senate while there is opportunity for
further clutterng the Congressional Record with
worthless oratory.
Still others, undoubtedly more numerous than
both of the foregoing groups combined, are in ia
Of ratification of the treaty as it stands-ust as
it has been accepted by the leading powers of Eu-
rope, but they hesitate about forcing
q final vote
There is not thing to be gained by any of
these elements by longer delay but for the country
whole there much to be lost
The senate must realize, unless it is inexcusably
stupid blind, Jhat the country mot possibly be-
come settled and readjusted upon a normal peace
basis long it is in state of suspense regarding
the peace treaty and long it is technically in
state of it must remain until treaties with the
erstwhe centarl powers are ratified and peace is pro
claimed,
Not single vote in the senate can be changed,
either for against ratification by further procrastn-
ton.
Then, why not vote on it
If the senate is determined to reject it, it should
go ahead and finish the job.
If it wants to make reservations, it should go
ahead and make them
But it should do something
The country wants action; it has had enough of
faultfndng and personal mud-slinging Atlanta Con-
stitution.

Money and Taxes.
A few departments of the municipality
were reported TO be near the limit of
their present appropriations, and a de-
partmental resolution was ordered to
second reading turning over certain sums
for those departments from the money
that may be in the treasury.
How to enable the city TO collect all
its taxes from persons who are prepar-
ing to go to their homes in foreign coun-
tries was a matter of finance which was
talked over at some length, it being re-
ported that quite a number were secur-
ing passports for the trip abroad. Alder.
man Alexander moved that the legisla-
tive committee look mp the matter and
see what steps can be taken to collect
the taxes of those who leave Barre prior
to Aug. 10. Ir is probable that steps
viii be taken to bring about the collec-
ton.
Mrs. C. G. Bickford Of Worcester

and the clerk was instructed to notify
Mrs. Bickford that no action could be

police committees, was accepted by the
aldermen, said report granting the Nor
mons the right to hold one meeting a
week at the bandstand on the City park
when the stand was not otherwise in use,
providing satisfactory arrangements are
made with the park commissioner. In.
asmuch as the Mormons have been petit.
tioning in vain for years for the right to
hold street meetings, the two mission
aries considered themselves well treated
and after thanking the aldermen and dis
tributing tracts they went out to find
the park commissioners.
A permit was granted w. r. Cameron
to build an addition to his store on the
corner of Washington street and Hunt

reported that it had been unable to get

the runs that they are on. No run Is
less than nine hours, so that under the
new schedule no car operator will receive
