FOR A SITUATION that is “not alarming” this influenza can get more public attention than a three-ring circus. CERTAIN favorite son candidates appear to have been rushing Groundhog day. Anyhow they have, seen their shadows and retired. UEJW HAMILTON can take some consolation from the fact that no one will regard the governor’s publicity agent’s opinion as of any weight, anyhow. AMONG THE THINGS the taxpayer will not benefit from will he the expenditure of $300,000 for the improvement of the department store operated by this administration as a city market GOODRICH’S WITHDRAWAL STATEMENT might indicate that in the next year he really intends to do something for the state of Indiana, but it is generally regarded as meaning that he Intends to do something to the Watson republicans. \, Goodrich Goes Overboard James P. Goodrich has admitted that personally he is as dead as a door nail in republican politics in Indiana. Camouflaged as it is, his announcement oi! his withdrawal from the preferential race for the republican nomination for president stands out as the final admission, that the party in Indiana, which he has controlled for more than three years, has at last revolted and repudiated him. Bitter as is the dose to the gentleman from Winchester, he has elected to take his medicine and retire from the arena rather than stand up and take the political beating that was in store for him. The retirement\of James P. Goodrich is yet another evidence that the “world do move.” He never was fitted to become a candidate for the presidency. He never was fitted to become governor of Indiana, but he masked that unfitness well and, since he has been in the governor’s chair, he has had such a wide range of control over the party, the administration and the newspapers of this state, that for two years he succeeded In masking from the people of Indiana the things in his administration that the people will never tolerate long. * During the last year the public of Indiana Awakened to the real purpose of Goodrich’s centralization schemes. They saw these schemes cover abuse of power, personal gain at public expense, infringement on their right to govern themselves, and they revolted. This revolt -was not sudden. The ground work for It was laid many months ago. There are men in Indiana who have worked day and night to gather the facts with which to lay the case of the People of Indiana vs. The James P. Goodrich Republican Administration before the voters of Indiana. In this movement The Times rejoices that it has been able to take a'part. Os all the papers in Indianapolis it is the only one which has had the courage to set forth, for public inspection, the facts it has found \ in the investigation of the Goodrich administration. It is the only Indian- j a polls paper which; up to the present day, has printed the story of how Goodrich and his “clcse business associates” unloaded the garbage plant ' on the citizens of Indianapolis for $175,000, after a director of the company had declared, under oath, that “you could not get SIO,OOO for it.” , The Times Is the only paper in Indianapolis that dared to expose the use of convict labor on the Globe Mining Company’s property, and subsequently the affidavit of a stockholder in that company that a block of stock had been given to James P. Goodrich “for services.” It is the only Indianapolis paper that has advised the public of the cement scandal in the building of state highways, the peculiarities of the ! bonding of road contractors, the interest in the state institutions’ coal contracts, the iniquities of the state tax board's work against the schools and against the small taxpayer. The culmination of the feeling against Goodrich, aroused by the bald statement of facts in connection with these things, which he has so long admitted by his Intense silence, came with the withdrawal of his presidential aspirations. Goodrich is personally done In the politics of Indiana. But t.he James P. Goodrich administration of the affairs of Indiana, with all its sius of commission and ommlssion still, stands. It is the administration of the republican party. It is endorsed, approved and defended by the republican slate committee. It represents the best efforts of the party at a time when it controlled everything from the governorship down to the political appointments of statehouse janitors. The collapse of Goodrich is an admission of the falsity of Goodrichism. The republican party today stands commltteed to Goodrichism. Tt can not escape the responsibilities of the maladministration of the Goodrich crowd by the mere expediency of throwing Goodrich overboard.
The County Chairmanship No man Is big enough to be chairman of the democratic organization of Marion county who is not big enough to represent more than a faction. No candidate of any one faction is qualified to be chairman for the very reason that makes him the candidate of a faction —inability to see that there must be no factions in the party. The democrats of Marion county t can not hope to win the coming election without a ticket composed of the highest grade men it is possible to present to the voters. High-grade men can not be induced to allow their names to be presented to the-voters if they feel that the party organization, on which they must depend throughout their candidacy, is controlled hy, or represents, only a part of the democratic party, whose whole support is necessary to success. There have been some ill-advised attempts, on the part of good democrats, who have allowed their enthusiasm to override their judgment, to create candidates for the chairmanship. As is to be expected, as a result of these efforts, there have been suggested for the position the names of several men who will not do. The disqualification of these men is in no way a reflection on their personality or their capabilities. By reason of the very motives that have prompted them to become candidates they are disqualified for the position to which they aspire. \ The democrats of Marlon county must select as their chairman a man who is broad enough to realize that he must not be the candidate of any clique or interest. He must not be nominated, or even considered, at any hack door meeting In which the voters, who comprise the party, have not ail had a chance to voice their views. The recent meeting in a hotel in this city, at which the name of Buck Carroll was presented as a candidate for the chairmanship, was a disadvantage to the party in the county for which the democrats have only themselves to blame. They have been so indifferent to the desire of enthusiastic democrats to Htart organization work that they have invited sporadic outbreaks from groups who can tolerate anything but inactivity. As the present chairman of the democratic committee, Adolph Emhardt has done nothing toward shaping the party for the coming fight It is generally understood 'that he does not intend to do anything. He does not expect to i-ucceed himself as chairman and his present attitude of indifference is preventing any one else from doing what is necessary to succeed. < Buck Carroll’s candidacy for the chairmanship is an expression of discontent among party wofkers who want to work. It is not to be conceived that he is under the delusion that as chairman of the party he could unify the many interests that comprise it or lead It to a victory. His efforts, however, to bring about enthusiasm and action are most commendable. If, by his stirring of the party, be succeeds in forcing an ho wttl have 4one-a good turn fosr-his party.

' - ■ 107 Age Record in Brooklyn Census BROOKLIN, Jan. 29. -“One hundred and seven," was the answer given by Bryant Drusilla. an aged negress, when asked her age by a census enumerator. The aged woman added that she was born in North Carolina during the war of 1812. She has the distinction of being the oldest resident in Brooklyn dls-. covered by the census thus far. The Armenian Fate A touching story of a 12-year-old girl, Herepslme Tavoukdjian, who was recently released from a harem, where for four years she was subjected to torture, is circulated through Indiana near east relief headquarters, 403 City Trust building. At Aleppo refuge barracks established by near east relief little Herepslme Tavoukdjiau Just a short time ago played with the first doll she bad had In her arms in four long years. Most girls, says the statement from headquarters, begin to sniff at sawdust babies at 12 or before. But this little girl cuddled the wax infant against her face which bore the infamous Turkish tattoo an-1 showed that the little Armenian maid had been an inmate of a harem. She was 8 years old, the best age for doll playing, when he was driven from her homo with her parents, her grandmother, four sisters and a brother. She saw her grandmother and her father die of starvation at Meskina on the march. Then she was seized by Arabs, put. on a barge and carried across the river as a captive. In the harem she was enslaved and tortured. She was beaten so much that the wounds on her body have become tubercular. Almost as soon as she was taken to tbe harem she was bound with thongs and tattooed. At-last, after years and months of suffering, she was saved by some fellow Armenians and brought to the refuge barracks in Aleppo, where her tubercular so res are being treated. Later she will be placed In an orphanage of the near east relief. Meanwhile the little girl plays with her doll.

IhcleMß A Column Conducted Under Direction of Dr. Rupert Blue of U. S. Public Health Service. Uncle Sam, M. D., will answer, either in this column or by mail, questions of general interest relating only to hygiene, sanitation and the prevention of disease. It will be Impossible for him to answer questions of a purely personal nature, or to prescribe for individual diseases. Address : INFORMATION EDITOR, U. S. Public Health Service* WASHINGTON, D. C. answers Q.—What Is empyema? 'How Is it treated? Has the Carrel-Dakin treatment been in use In such cases? is a disease In which there Is a collection of pus>ln the pleural cavity. It usually occurs during pneumonia, or following some infection such as-influenza or measles, or develops out of pleurisy. It may be due to an Injury to the chest. The treatment consists of such general measures as rest and support of the circulation, and usual’y necessitates at some period of the disease tbe mechanical removal of pus, either by means of a hollow needle, or, more frequently, by means of drainage tubes Inserted through Incisions. Coincidentally various solutions are frequently employed to aid in removal of pus and to prevent, if possible, Its reformation. The Carrel-Dakin fluid has been thus employed with varying success, according to different observers. Measures are then taken to cause the compressed lung to re-expand and resume its full functions. In some old cases extensive operations are employed to obliterate a large pus cavity which refuses to heal by other means. Q. —Is yeast of value for one who desires to gain in flesh? How is yeast taken internally? A.—Yeast has been used with success, especially In the treatment of skin diseases. 1 do not know how it ts used for the purpose you mention. In treating certain skin diseases the compressed yeast Is used, and the dose Is from onehalf to onAJjake, taken three times a day. The yeast can be stirred into a little broth, or can be used on bread like cheese. It usually has a laxative action and sometimes causes the development of considerable gas. Some physicians have used dead yeast, killing It by boiling in water. Q. —Will milk of magnaela make the blood thin? A.—Not so far as we are aware. Q. —Is it true that whole wheat aud brown rice contain all the necessary minerals of the body? A.—Practically, yes; nevertheless the addition of other foods is necessary in order to sustain the body in perfect condition. A mixed diet, especially one that Is varied, Is best.
