BODY TRAVELLED 100 MILES
Remains Of Car Ferry Captain
Drowned Last December

Niagara Falls. n. Y. April S.-A
body believed to be that of Captain
John Mcleod of the Marquette Besse
mer car ferry, which foundered be
tween Conneaut and Port Stanley on
December 10, has been found in the
intake OF the Niagara Falls Power
company
The body was badly decomposed
and battered by the long journey un-
der the ice and through the swift cur
rent of the river, but the clothing
was intact and in the pockets were
found 1926 and bundle of docu-
ments. One of the car ferry's life
belts was attached to the body
While the identification is based
almost entirely upon the papers and
clothing there is little doubt that
the body is that of Captain Mcleod.
The car ferry sank off Conneaut so
that the captains body has travelled
considerably over one hundred miles.
Thirty-flye lives were lost when the
ferry foundered

HOW TO CURE A
TERRIFIC HEADACHE.

Many people suffer with an aching head
week after week, occasionally getting relief
from so-called headache powders and nerve
Supplying drugs. They never get cured
because they start wrong. Such people
should do little commonsense thinking.
Headache is simply the result, a warning
signal, of far more serious trouble. Usu-
ally it means bad blood poisoned by an in
active or sluggish liver. Headache suffer-
ers are often nervous, cross and irritable.
Their sleep is disturbed and digestion inn
paired. The liver doesn't do its work right,
and the bile elements poison both nerve
and brain.
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills
remove the cause Of headache They are
Natures true laxative, and give tone to
liver activity, are positive specific for bill
iousness and torpid liver Get your liver
right by using Smiths Pineapple and But
ternut Pills and your head won't ache,
your nerves won't weaken, nor your food
distress you. Physicians use and recon-
mend. They form no habit. You should
always keep them on hand. These little
Vegetable Pills will ward off many ills.

traffic department were responsible.
 We, therefore, recommended that a rule be taken requiring those of fiCers 10 show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of the injunction. We did not recommend MT. Morton or any officer, but rec commended proceedings against them all alike
 The president after much shilfy- shallying delay and insistence on our proceeding against the corporation only and none of the officers, finally flatly refused to allow us to take any other course. We then both re. signed because we considered that suJh a course would be mere nockery of justice. In the conre, ton We used the phrase, Guilt Is always personal
 "TheTeupon MT Roosevelt direct, ed the Attorney General to proceed against the corporation alone, and a subordinate in the department of justice vas sent to meet the formid. able array of counsel which such a company always puts forward. He managed the case so well that the judge set aside his own injunction.
 Not a particle of evidence was taken. yet the judge went out of his way to white-wash Paul Morton. He was a judge after Mir. Roosevelt s own heart. As soon as he had dealt out justice after this fashion the judge went off to Florida in the private car of the attorney of the railroad company
 MT Roosevelt and his attorney general thereupon exchanged felici tations by letter because the govern ment had lost the case. Morton soon afterward resigned to become president of the Equitable Insurance company, and took with him as treas urer, at s25,000 per year, the assist ant attorney general, who had charge of the injunction suit when MT. Jud son and I made the investigation and report
 The full correspondence has beer officially published, but MT. Roose selt did not care to consult it be fore talking about it He always says what suits his purpose, and il his does not agree with the facts so much the worse for the facts - COurie: Journal

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The Alaska Citizen wishes every man, woman and child ill Alaska the merriest of merry Christmases, and extends the further wish that the happiness engendered at this season will be continued indefinitely. Christmas comes but once year, it is true. but there is no good reason why it should not be with us in spirit, at least, for the other 364 days. Whether or not it shall be depends very much on ourselves, for simple following of the rules laid down by He whose natal ami versary We celebrate will very surely induce that real happiness, and Peace or Earth, Good Will to Man spirit which many of Us find time to think about only on one day of the year

ABOUT MR. ROOSEVELT.

In some of his speeches in Ohio, MT Roosevelt undertook to criticise Governor Harmon about his connec- tion as receiver with the c. H. X D. R. R. Co.,, and made some reference to the matter of the Santa Fe rail road relating case
 The facts in it do not reflect credit upon MT Roosevelt, and show how he used the powers of his position to protect the petted favorite of his tennis cabinet" MT. Paul Morton. It furnishes another illustration of his method and characteristics as "a reformer," and as Governor Har mon states the facts so well in recent speech, we give them as he gave them:
 MT. Roosevelts word is not good enough to add anything but wider circulation to these lies, and he ought to be ashamed to do that.
 The government had obtained an injunction against the practice of re- batting in which the Santa Fe rail road company was engaged.
 The Interstate Commerce Com mission, after thorough investigation, reported that the railroad company had continued the practice in favor of the Colorado Fuel, Coal and Iron company, one of the most offensive trusts in the country.
 AS Paul Morton, then a member of MT. Roosevelt's cabinet, had been the head of the traffic department of the railroad during the period covered by the report, the matter was the subject of much newspaper comment and criticism in congress, MT. Roosevelt appointed two Demo cratic lawyers, Mr. F. N. Judson and myself, to investigate and report what course should be taken.
 After careful consideration and reading the evidence taken by the com mission we advised that the injuuc tion had been violated, the period of offense was two years, the rebates amounted to more than million dollars, and that both in law and in fact the officers in charge of the

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.

By tho energy of Lord LansdcWne and his associates from both par ties in the house of lords the issue to be decided at the general cleo ton forced upon Great Britain by Asquith's government has been made clear and definite. It is not a question between views on which Liberals and Conservatives differ, notwithstanding the elaborate pro- gram of intended reforms with which MT. Asquith accompanied the an nouncement of the coming dissolu- tion, or the defense of tariff re form that MT Balfour gave as his answer England is called upon un- equivocally to determine whether the parliament which governs 1t shall consist of two houses with CO., ordinate powers or of one absolute representative chamber It is a mat ter of the constitution and not of party, though it Is disturbed by one foreign element, the knowledge that it is presented at this time and in an irregular shape because the Liberal party must keep its prom ise of home rule to the Irish rem- bers who maintain 1t in office.
 The lords attitude is this: they fn oiu | tary privileges and to acquiesce in the formation of new upper house constituted on a basis of merit and service regardless of birth, and some form of election. The Rosebery plan, clumsy as it is, serves to inGicate new far they will go; it should have heen modified and put into shape by the conference committee, if that body had done its duty. As It is 1t stands for a wholly reformed l.ouse of lords; its details are hard ly worth discussing in the campaign
 Moreover, as regards the relative powers of the two houses, the lords acquiesce in the view that money bills are within the exclusive prov ince of the commons unless politi- cal riders are attached to them; they ask for equal powers in legislation for the upper house, and suggest the mechanism by which the two houses may meet cases of disagree ment. Their proposals are, to be sure. pretty formless and vague, which Is again the fault of the con ference committee, but it is evi- dent that they have in view an ef-
