FIND STEAMER LONG BURIED

For some time past the Mersey

1t Is the remains Of steamer which
have evidently been embedded for
generations. Her date is long ante
rior to that Of iron shipbuilding. OF

doubtless is due the fact that they
still retain cohesion and shape. and
have 80 wonderfully resisted the forces

The vessel, cleared of superabundnnt
sand, Is not only visible. but accessible
at low water, and has been visited and
examined by many interested people.
The prevailing opinion is that she
is the William Huskisson. paddle

STOOD FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Jean Jacques Rousseau Had Right
Conception OF Conditions That
Made for Freedom.

Prof. Kenneth Colegrove Of Syra-
cuse university declares that world de-
mocracy is the sole basis of world
peace. Writing in the Worlds Work
he says:
In the year 1913, when the ambnssa.
dors Of the European powers we're en-.
gagged at the congress of Utrecht In
bringing to close the War Of the
Spanish Succession, the Able de Saint
Pierre was writing the finnl pnges Of
his little treatise called the project
for Perpetual Peace" He proposed
confederation Of the kings and princes
Of Europe, with congress or diet Of
ambassadors where oil disputes be.
tween the different states should be
settled by arbitration, and where gen.
eral rules should be adopted from time
to time for the purpose of promoting
the peace and welfare of each and
every realm. Rousseau criticized the
abbe's plan, declaring 1t contained one
flaw, flaw which vitlated the other
wise noble plan. He believed that
confederation of European states
could never be formed so long as
kings and princes ruled. For the es-
sence of kingship was nothing else
than the passion to extend its domin-
ion without and Its absolutism within;
and no plan Of confederation, Rous-
seau was convinced, would ever he
able to quench the old fires of rivalry
and despotism. But even II general
alliance of European monarchs were
possible, It was manifestly impossible
to guarantee princes against the revolt
Of their people unless at the same time
subjects were given guaranty against
the tyranny Of their rulers. In launch
ing this latter criticism against the
abbe's project the author Of the $50.
cial Contfnct" foresaw the contingency
Of the Holy Alliance Of 1915, when the
autocrats Of Europe called the 1ndivis-
ible Trinity to witness that, as broth.
ers Of the same family, they would de-
fend the doctrine Of the divine right Of
kings against the contradiction of rev.
olution wherever 1t should appear.
Yet more trenchant was the criti-
I cism Of Voltaire. "The peace imng-
ined by the Able de Saint-Pierre," said
the philosopher Of Fernay, "is CHI
mera which could no more subsist be-
tween princes than between elephants
and rhinoceroses, or between wolves
and dogs. Carnivorous animals rush
to attAck each other on all occasions"
The project for Perpetual Peace" &c.
cording to voltaire. was not absurd In
itself. but In the manner Of it's pro-
posal. There would always De w.::s
Of ambition and conquest, until peon,a
learned that 1t was only small pYn..

Dyspepsia Tablets and see how they
speed up the stomach. It's like stepping
on the gas. You begin to eat things that
used to worry you even to think Of
them, the rich things Of the banquet,
the savory home made sausage, the
toothsome pies and puddings and all the
balance of long list of eatables that
so many stomachs have been strangers
to.
\ Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after
meals relieves gassness, rumhlings,
drowsiness. sour risings, heartburn,
water brash. and the feeling of being
stuffed They contain harmless ingre-
dents which act with an alkaline effect
just as the stomach does when perfectly
healthy. Thus instead of milk or cheese
curdling into hard ball so you can
taste it all day it is broken up and con
verted into a substance for quick and
easy assimilation. 1t is the same with
those other foods which your weak
stomach has had trouble with. Get a
50-cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at any drug store, speed up your
stomach and thoroughly enjoy what
you eat without distress.
