NEXT PRESIDENT WILL FACE MANY PUZZLES-WATSON To Confront a Disorganized Country, Says Senator News of Washington. By W. rTpOUNDSTONE. WASHINGTON. Sept. 29. "It Is entirely too early in the season to name the next presidential candidates, but It Is not too early to state that the next president ol the United States will encounter the greatest tasks ever confronting a chlet executive In the history of the nation," Senator James E. Watson informed a Washington interviewer. "In nearly thirty years of public life," the Indiana senator continued, "I have never seen any period approaching this for momentous issues and puzzling problems. While there Is no gainsaying the fact that many difficult situations arose during the war, the president had the country solidly at his back, advancing in a compact phalanx to meet and vanquish the common foe. "The next president will be confronted with the task of uniting a country split into many rival factions, each pulling in a direction calculated to benefit itself. Capital and labor

questions must be settled. The high cost of living must also be definitely settled. Great international questions will be constantly arising, calling for the utmost skill in handling, 'ine Mexican question is still demanding solution and must be dealt with. Jim. 1 . - M . 1 inese are rougniy sumo ui mw uis things the next president must deal with, and no one can forecast what may arise during the next four years. "It is a foregone conclusion in my mind, that the next president -will be a republican, and I am confident that he -will so handle the difficult and dangerous problems of the reconstruction period that American will go on to a greater and more glorious future, befitting the first nation of the earth." There will be a time when it will be In order for an appreciative government to erect lasting memorials in honor of the patriotism and valor of the sons of the republic who served in the world war, but, in the opinion of Representative Richard N. Elliott of Indiana, before that time comes something of a more substantial and beneficial nature must be done for the America soldier by the congress. Representative Elliott so expressed himself a few days ago at a meeting of the Public Buildings and Grounds committee of the House, of which committee he is a member, when a bill appropriating $5,000,000 for the erection of a triumphal arch in the national capital was up for consideration. Up to this time, It is recalled, the only reward the gallant doughboy has received from his country has been a paltry bonus of $60. "Before we begin to spend millions of dollars on victory arches I want the men who fought our battles to receive more generous treatment at the hands of the government. These boys cannot live on victory arches." Elliott said. Amone the recent callers at Renresentative Elliott's office were P. H. Wolfard, deputy secretary of state of Indiana, and Lieut. It. L. Strain, both of Newcastle. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Amos and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Winship, both of Rushville, who have been on a month's motor trip through the east and are now enroute home. Phillip Schenkel, of Connersville, who is in Washington visiting his son, Harry, who is employed at the Bureau of Standards. Midshipman Harold Krick, of Richmond, has just returned to the U. S. Naval Academy, where he is a student, after a month's furlough spent in Richmond; and Herbert S. Weed, for merly secretary of the Richmond Y. M. C. A., has recently returned from France after a long service as a Y. M. C. A. worker with the famous First Division, A. E. F. Mr. Weed marched with the First Division In its triumphal parade re cently held in Washington. The parade was led by General John J. Per shing. Weed is no sojourning with relatives in Connecticut but expects to return to Richmond in the near future. The utilization of water power in France has increased by more than 150 per cent since the commence of the war. V1RS. SANFORD'S MESSAGE TO WORKING WOMEN Laurel, Miss.

(All articles for this column mast not exceed ftOO words. Contributors must sign their names, although the name -will be withheld by the management . at the request of tha writer. Articles having no name attached will be thrown Into the waste basket.) J Editor Palladium: I have read with lnterst, the men's opinions on the League of Nations, for and against. But it seems you have cvedlooked the women. We all know Indiana is a back number when It comes to suffrage for women, but let us hope that enough western Btates will ratify the amendment for women's suffrage without bothering our legislature, so we women can have a vote on vital questions now and ever. Why not let us hear from the mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts of the men they sent away to war, some never to return. They are the ones to help say whether we shall have any more wars or not, and not the men, or persons that have made fortunes out of the war and only want another one so they can benefit themselves. As the mother of two boys, I am for the League of Nations as a means and first step to prevent future wars. You know we are living in 1919, not in 1776, as some people still believe. They are far behind the times. Mrs. Charles Worth, 322 North Seventh St. The Palladium: There Is being a great deal said at the present time about this League of Nations. I didn't get any ticket so I could vote, but I feel like writing my sentiment Just the same, so I say, "cut off from it at once." Let the other nations run their business and the United States run hers. Speaking of our President, he has already had too much rope, so I say pull it in, and if he don't want to come, cut the rope and send him across to England and let him stay there as he seems to be trying to do more for England than he is for the good old United States. It seems queer to me that the people of America would want a man from some other country for their leader, at the least, there is where his heart and mind seems to be. He should have been let down and out of the president's chair when he first went across the water. I believe Tom Marshal would be a better president than Woodrow, as he made a good governor for us. I have lost one son on account of Woodrow's ruling and I don't want any more of it, and I am sure there are thousands of mothers and fathers who have lost their noble sons, who would 6ay the same. We don't want any Kaiser here and that is what he would like to be. He has asked for one man power long ago so he could do as he wished, and now we can see his wishes are wrong for America. I think he has been president too long now, so take him out before his term is out. Two high school boys were talking last winter and one of them said 'Woodrow's name would go down in history.' The other boy spoke up very promptly and said: "So will Kaiser Bill's." Get he point. I think one history would do for both." Dr. J. C. Franklin.

Walsh, his grandmother, intends to devote the rest of her life to making clothes for the children of the poor. Mrs. Walsh has just returned from Bar Harbor and is at the Waldorf for a few days. There she is giving a pri vate exhibition of her work, of which she is the originator. It consists of collecting old stock ings, blankets that have outlived their usefulness, discarded sweaters, gloves, old curtains, billiard table covers, and leather pocketbooks and making them into clothes for children. She explained how it was done and had samples, one of which she said was valued at $75 by a coatmaker. Seven pairs of silk stockings, lined with kid gloves, make a coat for a child of 4. A curtain taken from her house in Bar Harbor and lined with billiard table cloth fits a child of 8. A bed blanket makes a suit for a boy of 10. By taking some rag bag scraps and leather postcards she made a fancy vest for a boy. Mrs. Walsh has turned out more than 4,000 coats. Most of these were sent to children of Belgium and France. In her home in Washington she employs 100 girls to make garments for the poor children of this country. ft Y" and "Caseys" Ousted From Atmy Cantonments; Government Takes Charge CAMP DIX, N.

Thomas A. Edison gave hi3 famous Tone-Test last Wednesday night in The Washington. He had Miss Ellerman sing in direct comparison with the RECREATION of her voice by the New Edison Then he had the Fleming Sisters Instrumental Trio play in similar direct comparison with the Re-Creation of their art by the New Edison.

Music lovers were completely baffled. Their ears were unable to distinguish the RE-CREATED art from the living. You have never heard any phonograph that approaches the New Edison.
