MUSINGS OF THE VILLAGE
DHACON


(We looked mtos the ssViIlage Dea-
con- column of the Osborne Farmer
of last week for something interest
ing and found that every paragraph
was just as good the one proceed
ing, so we decided to publish the
whole thing. Here it is.
A loud mouth doesn't always be
long to fool, but fool always has
a loud mouth.
It isn't the money a man spends for
cigars that does the damage; it is
the time he spends from his business
while looking after the cigar after he
has laid it down for brief moment.
I have run across a. good many
cooks in my time, but / have the first
one to meet who can fix up anything
to put on hominy that will make 1T
taste like something.
once knew man who said that as
soon as he was worth one thousand
dollars he would take a trip to Chica-
go. He got the thousand, but Chica-
go didn't seem much, SO he said he
would wait until he was worth five
thousand and then he would go to New
York and see a lot. He got the five
thousand, but by that time the lust
for gold was on him and he coynprod-
missed by saying that as soon as he
was worth twenty thousand he would
make tour of the world. In the
course of time he got the twenty
Thousand, but he was crazy for more
and worked day and night. A little
latter he was taken sick, and in due
course Of time a two hundred dollar
monument marked his last resting
place. That is all there is left of his
twenty thousand, for his family pro-
ceeded to blow it in right away They
had been made to crimp and save and
deny themselves things they wanted,
SO. when they got their fingers onto
the old mans gold they scattered it
right and left. The money for which
the husband and father sold himself
did them no good. In the end they
were poverty stricken The few brief
months of Sp1endor soured them for
life. Gold isn't all there is in this
world.
The first few weeks after a fellow
is married he tries alfred hard to
appear different from his former bach
elor associates. After that he doesn't
have to hang out any bluff to fool 'em.
You can always tell by appear
ances. Lots of times the smoothest
waltzer on the floor has to hustle like
b1azes to borrow the price of his

pleasure to look about and notice what

Wisconsin Senator Repudiates Party But Does Not Tell What He
 Will Do.

Madison, Wis, July 23-In a signed editorial in his magazine, Senator Robert M. LaFollette repudiates the republican party but does not indi- cate what he will do in the campaign. The editorial says in part:
 Popular government cannot long endure in this country without an aggressive progressive party. The republican and democratic conven- tions just concluded demonstrate that both these parties aIe completely controlled through political bosses by the great special interests, and that the election of either of their can didates means dictatorship of plu- tocracy and political and industrial servitude for the great mass of the people.
 Neither of these parties for years has willingly admitted a new or pro- gressive idea into the policies of the national government. They have shamefully deceived and ruthlessly betrayed the voters who have given them power. Having no other pur- pose than to protect the monopoly powers of the great financial interests. which are their interests, they have joined in permitting the merciless exploitation of the people and are rapidly converting the freest and most beneficent government of the world into a tyrannical despotism."

LLOYD GEORGE ASKS
 IRISH SETTLEMENT
Wants Parliament Committee to
 Give Assistance

London, July 23.-Premier Lloyd George today urged the parliamentary committee of the trades union con- gress to help settle the Irish question.
 He declared the government was not afraid to accept a truce but that it could not permit overt outrages and murders. It was prepared to go a long way to letting Ireland manage her own affairs if the necessary as- surance was forthcoming.
 In the house of commons Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ire land, predicted that the situation would become worse and asked all parties and creeds to support the government.
 T regret to say" he said, that parliament and the kingdom must brace itself to face a bitter period in Irish history as there will be a de- termined organized attempt to estab- lish an Irish republic by means of murder and intimidation" He asked the house to create tribunal super seding civil courts and to empower the lord lieutenant Of Ireland to es- tablish a tribunal to deal quickly with all criminal offenses committed in Ireland.
 Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster unlon1St leader, after declaring that ''in three-quarters of Ireland the British government has been entirely beaten," said:
 There are only two courses open for solution-either surrender to the Irish republic or organization of forces to insure the government is not beaten again."
 He asserted that what he had done in Ulster in the past he would do again. eff I had not done my part he said, Ulster would today be ground down under the heels of mur- derous ;lsSassins who now .are mak- ing Ireland infamous in the eyes of the world"
 Joseph Devlin, the Irish nationalist, was called to order by the speaker for an attack on Carson.
 T. P. O'Connor declared that mo- body had done more than Carson to create an extremist party in Ireland and he suggested that it was the Ul- ster movement which turned the va cillating mind of Germany in favor of war.
 Carson characterized this as "an unmitigated lie."

The committee also states that an order for books. school stationery and desks has been placed.
 Al the recent town meeting it was voted that tho school committee cx- pend s2.s0O for repairs of tho old schools. This amount will be used in renoyatinE ons Of the rooms in the Ledge school and Tn repairing tho Percival school building in the Blue Hills district. When both of these schools are repaired the crowded conditions will be somewhat relieved. Supsrintendent B. R. Showalter has issued a statement to the effect that although tho school situation Is not what it ought to he the school com naitteo will have to ret along this year with what housing space 1t has.
