IMIIIONSIM TARE SUDDEN SLUM?

Suffrage Leaders Find It Difficult Task to Get Women to Take Part.

Difficulties over the pay of the registration boards at the city hall and general unrest about the law on women voting in the state have brought the registration of women voters here virtually to a stand-still.

The limited suffrage law is under fire In the courts and tt Is likely that a decision will be reached by the first of October if the plans to advance the case are buccessful. The women leaders are chagrined thit the suit has been brought as many of them have been fearful from the start that the law would not stand fire in courts.

The mere fact that other states have limited suffrage laws does not mean anything in Indiana. The constitution of Indian^, is different from that of most states. It provides that only males of "twenty years of age and^upwards" are entitled to vote.

It ddes not say that women shall not vote for offices not mentioned in the constitution which is the sole theory on which It is contended that the legislature had the right to pass such a law. Three or four former Judges of the supreme court say that the law is clearly unconstitutional.

Legal Precedents.

Several years ago the supreme court held that the legislature Is without authority to alter the qualifications for suffrage which is the nearest it has come to establishing a precedent. It the law is declared void the city campaigns may be affected, although it Is likely that the women will divide politically about the same as the men.

In spite of thf efforts of the women clubs less than 5,000 women have registered in Indianapolis to vote at the coming city elections. The women generally seem apathetic regarding the new law and it In not believed that to exceed thirty-five per cent of them will register to vote even if tho law is sustained.

It is hoped that a decision will be reached by the lower court by the first of September. The test suit was filed by Wm. KnighU a business man, of Indianapolis, and there ts no party politics whatever In it.

KING GREETS KERENSKY.

George 8ays He Appreciates Great Burden Russia Carries. LONDON, Aug. 11.—King George today telegraphed Premier Kerensky, of Russia, assurances that there has been no relaxation of efforts against the common enemy of the allies.

Which Line are You in

Here are pictured Two Lines in Life. One represents Success, Happiness and Contentment. The other pictures Poverty, Failure and Misery.

Which Line are you working toward?

The first line is the paying teller's line, and it only needs thrift to join it. It Is the happiest club in the world, and the easiest to join. Start a Savings Account today—even as little as a dollar will do It—and you will have taken the first step toward enrolling In the Line of Contentment.

The last'line may be easily attained by thriftlessness, carelessness and lack of ambition, and it already contains many men who once were counted successful, but who drifted down to the Bread Line.

3,000 MINERS PICNIC AND HEAR SPEECHES

Annual Outing Launched Here Several Years Ago Has Grown Into Big Event.

Saturday was miners' day In Terre Haute. It was a coming together of thl members, families and friends of ten local unions in an all-day picnic at the fair grounds.

Prom early morning until late in the evening, men, women and children enjoyed the outing Various forms of amusement had been provided in addition to tho formal program of the day. And the eats—it was loudly whispered that many chickens were sacrificed at the altar of the miners picnic. Throughout the day the picknickers enjoyed soft drinks, pop corn, cracker jack and candy in plenty—without cost. It is estimated that between 2,500 and 3,000 persons participated in the day's pleasures.

With Saturday's picnic, the second event of its kind, the affair became an annual one. The miners decided if the operators could spend a summer at the northern lakes or the mountain peaks of the west, that they would take a day off to forget the dirt and dust or tn& coal mine, the pick and the shove!, about which we are hearing so much th^se days.

In opening the day's formal program, Harry Lentz, financial stcretary of the U. M. W. A., local union No. 3097, said: "Last1 year we held our picnic with four locals represented. But we decided we wanted all miners and their families to get in on it. So this year we have ten locals represented. Kexi year we want all of Vigo county included."

Mrs. Mabel Curry was the speaker for the morning. She took for her subject "The Woman and the Laboring Man." Mrs. Curry referred to the recent court action in which the constitutional convention was declared unconstitutional. She said that those most interested in that constitution were women and labor. She referred also to the recent case brought to test the constitutionality of the partial suffrage law.

In the afternoon John H. Walker, president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor, gave a talk. This was followed by a series of contests as follows: Tug-of-war, by local unions 50-yard foot race for boys over 12 50-yard foot race for girls over 12 50-yard foot race fo*r boys under 12 50-yard foot race for girls unaer 12 50-yard foot race for ladies mule race potato race for girls under 16 potato race for boys under 16 miners' foot race for miners over 50 miners' threelegged race between ages of 16 and 35 miners' three-legged race, over' 35 years of age fat ladles' race, over 175 pounds.

A band provided music throughout the day, and was on hand for dancing, which began at 2:30 in the afternoon and lasted throughout the afternoon and evening.
