INDIANAPOLIS. Iet. 10. Indiana politics just now appears to center around two things: the talk of Senator James E. Watson and Governor Ja.mes P. Goodrich as probable candidates for the republican nomination for president in 1920, and the fact that the Indiana democratic stale machine got its death blow from President Wiison. Saturday, when he lefufced tl grant a pardon to Samuel V. remit t. former chief of police of Indianapolis, who was convicted some time ago of violation of the election laws. Terrott was one of the leaders of the democratic outfit that ran not only Indianapolis politics but Indiana democratic politics for years, and it was an outfit that ran things with a high band. The Ponn Roberts gfin at Terre Haule was a part of the same system, and practically all of the workers in that gang went to prison a couple of years ago for offenses similar to those of which Perrott was convicted. Along with Perrott. the Indianapolis inspector of weights and measures was convicted and is now in the Atlanta federal prison. Three officers cf the Indianapolis police force who helped Perrott ami others to violate the laws are now serving sentences in the Marion county jail. But -when Perrott was convicted a fierce fight was started by a number of his political friends here to save him from going to prison to serve the four years of his sentence. They made a number of trips to Washington to get a porrion for him. on the ground that his health would not permit bis imprison ment. Perrott has been in a hospital i three times since he was indicted, and he Is there now. But the showing In regard to th," condition of his health was not sufficient to convince the attorney general and the president st Washington that be was as bad off as had been represented. Th president granted a respite to rerrott three afferent times in order to have time in which to investigate the case, and the jBst respite will expire Tuesday. Dec. 11. and according to the present plan be must start for the A) Uinta prison on that day.

Mayor Bell remains ;-v he trid on ing into the Internal revenue bureau recharges similar to those on which-Per-i garding retailers who are using the war rott w;is convicted in the federal court, 'taxes on cigarettes, candy and other

Bell's trial has not yet been set. but It is sid that it will be held within a short lime. Bell and rerrott have long been political and personal friends and Bell Appointed Perrott chief of police. Indianapolis was under a police reign of terror while Perrott was chief of the department. Ionn Roberts, rerrott and the others convicted with them have been effectively eliminated from politics in this stste, and it is generally agreed that regardless of the Outcome of his trial in the federal court Mayor Bell Is effectively eliminated from democratic leadership. Just who will come to the front to replace the ReU-rerrott outfit as leaders remains to be seen, but it is generally accepted that they cannot remain in the front ranks of the party management. It is doubtful if stronger political pressure ever was brought to bear in j any ease than has been used in the effort to induce the president t grant, a pardon to rerrott. Prominent democratic lenders who always have been friendly to the machine used every possible ounce of their influence to save Perrott, but they failed, and they. too. probably will become back numbers in party niana gement. There has arisen in Indiana a healthy boom for Senator Watson for the nomination fer president, and another boom equally healthy and robust, for Govnor Goodrich for that honor. Watson has been making speeches in the state recently and it is said that be. will soon make a speech in, congress that will set forth his platform for the campaign for the nomination, provided the war is If the war is not over over before 1920.

by that time it is regarded as doubt ful ! botanists are now iiiiiinnn eiuiy ul n. if Watson will try for th" nomination,! 1 " but will leave it to some other man.; Enlist In The Woman's Army Wat son's boom for president has the gy Cor.servin.'.'

Watson i reg-irded as th leading exponent in this country of the high tariff theory, arid it is on this if'sue that hi supporter insist that he could make :i whirlwind campaign. A good deal of quiet boosting has been done by friends of Governor Goodrich in favor of him as the right man to choose for the nomination for president in 1920.

This kind of propaganda by his friends has attracted attention is evident from the amount of talk that is heard in fafor of the nomination of Goodrich. It is said that Will II. Hays will be j re-elected republican stale chairman i without opposition, and that in case of j the nomination of Governor Goodrich for j president he probably would be chosen j for national chairman to conduct thei 1920 campaign. Goodrich has the ui-j most faith in Ilttys and In his political judgment, and he knows, too, that Hays; is one of the most effective political I managers in the country. ; STIGUTZ PARK.

SUCH DEALERS ' UNSCRUPULOUS It is only the occasional unscrupulous dealer who is using the new war tax as on excuse, to put unnecessarily high prices on his goods. This, at least, is the claim made by several of the better class tobacco and confectionery store. This question came up as the result of an Associated I'ress dispatch from Washington a few days ago in which it 'was stated that complaints were pour taxed articles as an excuse for price advances far lr excess of the. taxes. It was further stated that the law department of the bureau was endeavoring to find legal means of storpfng this practice. Some local dealers are resentful of this accusation, stating that they believed such price-raising unpatriotic. A leading tobacco dealer stated that only nn unscrupulous and short-sighted dealer would try to make such prices. "Cigarette smokers are too keen," he said, "to be fooled ery long- in the dealer who tries this trick is sure to lose trade by it in the end." and there are n number of the latter In this vscinitq who are charging 15c for 10c boxes and 20c for 15c boxes. LAKE TURNING RED. More than 500 residents of northern Indiana have visited the now famous Huffman lake, near Warsaw, during the past week. The sightseers flock there to see "the waters turn red." Reports have been circulated throughout me state concerning the waters of this particular Inke and scientists from Purdue and Indiana universities have visited the lake in an attempt to solve the "ni.?tery." The reports say that the waters first turned a dark blue and that this winter they arc turning red. According to Rev. R. O. Roose, pastor of the Church of the Brethren of this city, who visited the lake Sunday, a portion of the water is turning a reddish hue due to excretions from a peculiar species of seaweed. He states. however, that scientists are unable to ! determine the name of the sHeed and ti Private and Confidential. 3 zsi&Es

"A man's earning eanar-ity is net of great interest to us in the time w).r n conservation Is the watchword." l.e continued. "It is his saving capacity wh'ch rates him as a desirable citizen. Ami this is even mote true of tie housewife in her kitchen. Food sn"'i means more to the hungrv French a-.i Belgians than money saved. "Why women are confused by the flood of advice given them about saving: Mrs. Jones says: 'And so Mr. Hoove- is going to tel trie hove to save? What does be know about saving? Haven't I been saving every cnt possible rnd don't I lave to save and sk.imp and go without now? let Mr. Hoover, before be tells us to have wheatless and meatless days, see that the men have smokeless days and beetles days. There are thousands who agree with I jIrg jr,nes They think they are being imposed upon by the Food Administration because all of its lessons are being sent out to women and none to men. They do not understand that our allies will not get sny more food as a result of their husband's denial of tobacco. Men ought to save. They should use less tobacco, they should be as thrifty in every way as their wives at home, and yet the saving they undertake vill not help Mr. Hoover. The situation may be onesided. To many women it may seem unfair, but the bald fact must stand that it is the women who save the slice of bread and the ounce of fat or a. little sugar who ar really giving the services the crisis demand. "The value of this service is not gauged by family incomes. The poorest w-oman can help with the richest. Her contribution will not be as large, but it is just as essential."
