Entered at the postottice in Decatur, Indian*, as sceond class sail. Mrs. A. D. Moffett of Elwood, was i chosen as the first president of the Woman's Press Club of Indiana, or-\ ganized Tuesday at t meeting held at the Ayres tea room, in Indianapolis. The organization is composed of women who do active newspaper work and they will meet each two weeks. Speaking of Keegan’s resignation from the legislature, the Indianapolis News says: "The legislature, will, however, manage to get along. The indications now are that when it ad- i journs it will have a reasonably good 1 record to its credit. Even the question of woman's work is likely to be answered in a fairly satisfactory way. The new bill provides that no woman may work longer than nine hours in any one day, or longer than fifty hours a week. This is within two hours of the forty-eight hour limit of the original bill. The new measure is fathered by two union labor members. On the whole the “lepers” are not doing so badly. The government still lives. When the people elect a man to the legislature they do it in the belief that he will serve them, and with I no idea that he will quit whenever things do not go to his liking. If this . latter were the rule it would be impowible to have a legislature. There ere in ail organizations men who are | ( always resigning, or threatening to*, resign, when they find that it is im-1’ possible for them to have their own ‘ way. Experience has, we think, prov- 1 ed that the best way to deal with ; them is to let them resign. It seems to us that this rule applies to Brother Keegan. It will hardly be contended that he is a statesman, and even if he were governments have survived the resignations of many statesmen. > Even Bismarck resigned once tdfi ©ft* en, learning, no doubt gteatly to his surprise, thst he teas not indispensable It will be so with Keegan.” LOST—Nickle-plated rod, % inches dia., by about 3% feet long off of a range.
