The movement In England to have
all her colonies represented In an in
tercolonial ministry shows the de-
velopment Of the Democratic spirit.
Had there been no real sympathy
between England and her colonies
tho latter would not be fighting 90
vsliantly beside the armies Of the
mother country. A wrong statement
has been circulated that the colonists
are bearing the bruut Of the fighting,
but the losses on the west front show
the English troops arc losing over
20 per cent and the oolonists, Irish
and Scotch the other 30 per cont

Sour Stomach

Eat slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, abstain from meat for .
few days and in most cases the sour
stomach will disappear. If 1t does
not, take one Of Chamberlain's Tab
lets Immediately after supper. Red
meats are most likely to cause sour
stomach and you may find 1t best to
cut them out.

WILSON PEACE PROPOSAL
CRITICISED In CANADIAN
SENATE AS IMPROPER
NATIONS NEUTRAL AND
NOT MAKING SACRIFICES
HAS NO VOICE IN
NEGOTIATIONS

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 25-The
peace proposals of President
Wilson were criticized in the Ca
madam senate today by Senator
Pope who represents one of the
English speaking districts of the
province of Quebec and who has
been a member Of parliament
for many years.
Senator Pope offered a resolu-
tion providing that "in the Opin-
ion of the senate of Canada, on
ly representatives of nations
which have engaged in the pres
ent war should participate in the
negotiations for peace.
In support of his resolutions,
he said that the horizon of the
future has been broadened to
Canada's visions by the great E.
vents which had begun march
ing forward in Europe with the
declaration of war more than
two years ago and by the decis-
ion of Canada to do her part in
shaping those events.
Never before had any British
colony offered the sacrifices of
men and money which Canada
was making today, he declared.
Observing that representatives
of nations which had not seen fit
to participate in the struggle
were taking the liberty of max
ing suggestions as to the terms
of settlement of the conflict, he
said he thought it proper that
Canada, which was sharing in
the conflict, should express
the senate an opinion as
to who was entitled to pass upon
terms of peace.

BOSTON, Jan. 25.-Dominic

When he arrived recently in the

"Sing, then," challenged an in

Before the board of special in

STATE INQUIRY SURE
DESPITEPOSSTBLE VETO
PENROSE FORCES TO RE-
SORT TO CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION

HARRISBURG, Jan. 25-Gov
ernor Brumbaugh will not be
able to prevent a probe of his
administration by vetoing the
Sproul resolution. If the execu-
tive disapproves the resolution
when it reaches him within the
next two weeks, the Penrose
leaders say they will, by means
OF a concurrent resolution, Gre
ate a legislative investigation
commission and provide an ap-
preparation for the expenses by
some other measure. Such a
resolution would not require ex-
ecutive action.
The Sproul resolution must go
to the governor, as it carries an
appropriation. A concurrent
resolution cannot carry an ap-
preparation; therefore, if it is
necessary to put through such a
measure, another means must
be found of providing for the ex-
penses Of the investigation. It
could be put in the general ap-
preparation bill or carried in a
separate measure. However.
the governor would have the last
whack at them and could apply
his veto.
While the governors heuten-
ants have said the executive
will veto the Sproul measure,
others are inclined to believe, in
the light of recent exposures,
the governor will be compelled
to sign the measure or place
himself before the public as one
fearing an investigation. This
is one reason why the Penrose
leaders are placing such a reso-
luton before him. On the other
hand, if the governor signs the
resolution, the PenrOse leaders
viii name the men to do the in
yestigating.

SUPREME COURT MAKES A
SPECIAL RULING IN FA-
VOR OF HAINES

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-
The state supreme court in ses-
ion here in consideration of the
poverty of Ernest Haines, Is
years old, of Sprankles Mills,
Jefferson county, Pa, under SEN
tence of death with Henry Ward
Mottarn, for the murder of
Haines' father, had granted him
permission to file typewriter
copies af the lower courts pro-
ceedings, instead of the usual
custom of submitting the peti-
tion in printed form. The peti-
tion to file typewriter records,
filed by Haines' counsel, sets
forth that Haines has exhausted
all his money, 5000, in meeting
the expenses of his trial and the
TWO subsequent hearings before
the board of pardons, the cost of
his appeal to the supreme court
having been betrayed by his un-
Gle, w. w. Shaffer, of Phillips
burg, Mont.
The estimated cost of the
printed copies of the record of
his trial and the paper books of
counsel is in excess of $500. Re
Gently it is set forth in the peti-
tion, Haines' uncle and a brother
also of Phillipsburg, have for
warded him sufficient funds to
defray the cost of typwritten pa
pers bearing on the case. Haines
counsel, w. L. McCracken and
William T. Darr, have agreed to
him without charge.
The case is listed for argu-
ment February II.

after the war the seamen Of the

commission to try commanders and
crews of German vessels who have
murdered inoffensiye seamen, and
punish those found guilty.

"It is not worth while calling on
