MAJOR CARLTON DEAD
HEAD OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.

Informa ton of the death. of Maj. James
C. Carlton, president of the National Asso-
citation of Mexican War Veterans, at Bed
ford, Ind. last night, was contained in a
telegram received here today by Mrs Moore
Murdoch of Texas, secretary of the ma
tional association, and national comman
dant of the Danes of 1916, who is stopping
at 2006 G street northwest
Mrs. Murdoch, who came here from Texas
in the interest of the bill for the increase
of the pensions of the Mexican war veter-
ans, said that Maj, Carlton had been presi-
dent of the national association for about
two years, and that he Is one of the most
influential citizens in the section of Indiana
in which Bedford, his home, Is located. He
was born in Kentucky, and would have
oeen seVenty-five years old at his next
birthday. He moved to Indiana early in
its statehood, and is regarded as a pioneer
there.
AT the outbreak of the war with Mexico
he was but sixteen years of age, and ran
away from home to join the American
amy of invasion. He served in the Third
Indiana Volunteers.
Maj. Carlton was a frequent visitor to
Washington, and had many friends here.
He was a particular friend of former Pres
lGent Cleveland. and was appointed post
master at Bedford under his admnistra-
ton. He was leading merchant and i'm
porter, and spoke Spanish f1uently, and
was on terms of friendly intimacy with
President Diaz of Mexico. Major Carlton
frequently visited Mexico, and on the oc-
casion of the recent national meeting Of
the Mexican veterans during the exposi-
ton at ST. Louis President Diaz sent Senior
Nuncfo as his personal representative to
convey his best wishes and attend the ses-
sions of the men who defeated Santa Anna
and his hosts in 1916.
The bond of friendship between President
Diaz and Major Carlton was strengthened,
said Mrs. Murdoch, by the fact that Diaz
when youth about the same age of Carl
ton ran away from his home also and join
ed the Mexican army at the front

FAILING EYESTGHT

Writers who live skdentary lives and who use
coffee are apt to be Troubled by faulty VISION

they are sometimes fnistaken is proved by the
following statement from Al old newspaper man;

Canada Views With Alarm

The United States war department
mas adopted plans for the establish
ment OF great military post at Fort
Niagara, at the mouth of the Niagara
river, opposite the village of Niagara
on-the-lake. 1t is rather curious that.
while Canada has dismantled and al
lowed all her fertilization along the
border to fall into decay. the United
States should adopt a menacing policy.
The United States papers are full OF
declarations that Canada has nothing
to fear from the proceeding. but If we
had set to work to build a similar fort

lingering survivais In this country OF
an old and hated system of settling
election contests.
In all minor matters we have agreed
proper way, which is by judicial hear
ing. The courts pass on the evidence,
order a recount of ballots IL necessary,
and title is thus finally established.
With reference to the more important
places we still cling to the old ideas.
which lend themselves to partisanship,
passion and every kind of abuse. For
instance, election contests in the house
OF representatives are still decided by
that body itself, instead OF being re-
ferred to a court. The result is that
men are almost always seated or un-
seated by a strict party vote. frequent
ly in defiance of the strongest evidence
and as a reward for the most glaring
frauds So wherever there exists any
law that gives to the legislative body
the power to name an executive, in
case the popular verdict is in doubt,
the very foundations of popular gov
eminent are shaken.
Colorado is so deeply sunk in dis
grace that one item more or less can
scarcely matter. The example of Colo
RADIO in this single particular how
ever, ought to speak to us all. Such a
precedent led us to the verge of civil
war in 1876. We have guarded against
that one contingency. but everywhere
in the nation and in the states the old
system of deciding contests should be
wiped out. In every case such disputes
should be referred to the proper court
for the taking Of evidence and a judi
cial determination based upon that
alone.
