HOOVER IN INDIANA

The campaign managers of
 Secretary Hoover are entitled to
 much commendation for the decision
 10 enter the Indiana primary, where
 Senator James E. Watson needs to ! be shown his place.
 Senator Watson, q politician of the
 old school. has been injured by the i ku klpX hlan exposures in his state.
 Being the political boss Of the
 Hoosier commonwealth, he had been
 able to further his presidential anl- bitions as "favorite son." thus contributing to a nuisance that needs correction, Watson as a president would be national calamity.
 Harmony" in Indiana will be badly bent through the Hoover campaign; so, at least, the Watson henchmen claim. But since when did Senator Watson think SC much of harmony? Wasn't it Watson who had the celebrated feud with New, forcing the latter into the lame duck class and then into the postmaster generalship? At that time Watson was not excited about harmony.
 The Watson campaign in Indiana was 10 sew up the 35 delegates and Dawes. Most of the electorate would have no thought of voting for either Lowden or Dawes when voting for Watson in the presidential primary. but that is how if would work out Hoover is justified in challenging the scheme, just as he has challenged the favorite son machinery in Ohio. |
 Hoover will be able to give Wat son q fine battle. Corruption among members of the Watson entourage in Indiana will, or ought to, in- { jure the so-called favorite son. A l state in which one governor has been imprisoned. another indicted, the mayor of Indianapolis indicted, ! and d host of minor public officials : struck amdships by the law, ought 10 be ripe for revolt against the Wat son machine.

succeeded in turing some trauspor.
 tatlon trade away from the rail-
 roads; and if the motor lorries put them out of business they will be aiding the railroads at least a little. But the trouble with the trucks. as the railroad managers see it, is that even if they do put the short trip boat lines out of business, they will not only seize the business formerly done by the boats, but will do even more and continue to eat into rail line transportation.
 It seems that the New Haven railroad. early sensing the competi- ton Of motor coaches. and thus be- coming the largest railroad owner and operator of passenger motor coaches in the country. has muffed the possibility of also engaging in the truck business. In the effort to save part Of its passenger business rom golng over to independent motor coach lines it has neglected similar threat coming from the trucks. The lorries that are seriously affecting both the boat lines and the railroads arc universally owned and operated by private or independent trucking concerns. It may be be- meath railroad to operate both rail freight and truck freight services; but the truck boys are not suffer- Ing from too much dignity. They are out for the business and certainly are getting it.

BOAT LINES AGAIN

 Tn" reason, of course, is bad bus innss Tue boat line for years found il possible to compete with the Bos ton x Maine, but nowadays there is additional comp"tition-th moto, trucks The troubles of the boat line are blamed almost exclusively upon the ooutnctition Of the trucks.
 Tho boat trip from Boston to Portland, like the one from Hartford 10 New York, is mparatively short. As cyeryon' knows, the short trips Hre easy picking for the trucks If is logical that the short line boat trips would be the first to feel the pinch of with the trucks.

Mexico City (UP)-Mexican inn rortations of United States manu- tactured goods have greatly de- creased during the past year and a half since the expansion of indus try at home. a department of in- sdustry, commerce and labor state ment says. 1mportations of shoes flour and cement are among those which are cited aS on the decrease since the campaign III behalf of Mexican made products was first begun in 1926.

THE. RIVER WRANGLE

Despite all the effort made in Connecticut to discourage the plan of Massachusetts to divert the Ware river, thus lowering the Connecti- cut river, General Jadwin, chief of army engineers. has filed a report which is said to give its assent to the petition originating in the Bay state.
 So far this is a victory for Massa- chusetts, which has claimed from the first that the claims of Con- necticut are unreasonable and that from the Connecticut river to harm commerce or lessen the flow of the stream,
 The Jadwin report, however, is said to stipulate that the actual granting Of permission to Massachu- setts be withheld until the litigation started by the state of Connecticut before the T. s. Supreme Court is This is at least sensible and may be regarded as left-hand- d victory for Connecticut.
 In the iong run it will depend up- on the Supreme Court rather than upon the war department whether the Metropolitan Boston water sup ply can make use of the Ware and Swift river diversions. What the war department thinks or recommends before the decision of the highest tribunal is made amounts 10 nothing If the Supreme Court up- IDldS the contentious of Connecticut [ matters little what the war de- 5artmout recommends in favor of Massachusetts

Police officials involved in charges
 alleged to have originated from
 Henry E. Gardiner and Peter J.

 themselves quite thoroughly. The court actions instig gated will have
 the result of placing witnesses un- der oath. and by the time the law is through with the cases everybody
 concerned, and the public on the
 sidelines, should be thoroughly satisfied.
 It Is comparatively easy to run off on a mental tangent regarding liquor enforcement. This is not saying any, thing against or for the Gardiner Pajewsh allegations: these are in the hands Of the courts and We are confident square deal will be given all concerned. We do not defend the police and we do not defend the pair who have been sued In our opinion, the entire matter is one that cannot be properly settled until every side has had an opportunity for the showdown that is coming It is gratifying to most citizens that the methods adopted to attain this end

A man in a tiny launch playing along fashionable beach. went two miles out, and got stalled. He couldn't swim.
 Dozens of channel swimming beauties were loling on the sands, or dancing and dining in bathing suits along the boardwalk.
 That man can't reach shore" the beauties decided after watching his signals. "One of us will have to go out and bring him in.''
 I'll go,' said the champion swim mer. She first entered the hotel, put on street clothes. and then plunged into the surf fully dressed and swan out to get her man.
 Why does she put on her clothes 10 save stranger out at sea ?" one asked. She doesn't wear clothes to meet them here on the shore"
 That's it." said another. Since we've quit wearing clothes on dry land, we'll have to wear 'em in the water |. or else a poor girl will have DO place to wear her clothes at all,"
