POINTED PARAGRAPHS

From the Chicago News.
 The crooked life should be we'll oiled.
 Perhaps the good die young because the young always die good.
 If vanity fails to catch man in one dis guise it assumes another.
 Politicians are sometimes called dark horses because of their shady records.
 Hard luck sticks to some men like grease spot on g pair of new trousers.
 Every one should have something to do, something to love, something to hope for.
 Any man may forget to wind his watch, but the flight of time goes on just the same.
 He who takes time by the forelock is the only who realizes that time is money.
 If pays girl few compliments she is very apt to feel hurt when he suspends payments.

DisdaIn irish Responsibility

tBy The Associated frcSS)
Dublin. June "i.--"The shooting of
Sir Henry Wilson was not done at re-
publican instance or Of the Irish RCpuh-
lican army II II were the Irish Re-
publican army would acknowledge the
fact" says a statement issued by the
publicity department Of the diSstd"nt
army At the Four Courts headquarters
early this Saturday morning.
The death OF Wilson is to he de-
because II occurred apparently AZ the
hands OF lrishmen. but because h" was
victim Of the imperial policy pursued
by the British government in ireland.
There Is no use trying 70 saddle the
responsibility upon Ireland or any group
OF the Irish people. The responsibility
must rest where thc in"Sorahl" finger
OF history will place IL. on the govern
ment that has tried to carry on tho
policy Great Britain las continuously
and consistently adopted in it's relations
with Ireland for centuries.
These have been the British govern
mcnt methods in the past. They are its
methods today The scenes ot outrage
and carnage in the north are the result
OF British insticatiou. British conntv-
ance. and British dupliclty.
In all this Wilson played part that
time will define and h" played not for
Ulster but for his imperial masters. 1t
would be hypoCr!tical to condemn such
actions Of the shooting Of Wilson while

ity whereby Premier Hughes was re-
elected to parliament in tho federal

but says that tho outstanding results
from doubtful constituencies may alter
the position.
