SUFFRAGE TO “WEAKER SEX’

AMENDMENT GIVING WOMEN BALLOT FRANCHISE IS PASSED. ' Indianapolis, Jan. 16. —With the announcement to the special »e»sion of the general assembly at 3:30 o’clock, that joint resolution number 43 had been signed by Governor James P. Goodrich, ratification of the federal suffrage amendment, granting women the privilege of the ballot, became an accomplished fact in Indiana. The signature of the governor was announced ten minutes after the resolution had been signed by Lieut. Governor Edgar D. Bush. Within one hour the special session had adjourned sine die. Indiana is the twenty-sixth state to ratify the amendment. Bush Enters Protest. The federal resolution was adopted after the assembly had organized under the rules of the regular session, and re-employed the same staff that served during the session which ended in March. In the senate, activities were prefaced-- by: an address by the lieutenant governor, in which he declared that the members of the general assembly who had signed a pledge to act only on a pre-arranged program, had violated their oaths .of office, and that they had a choice of “throwing this pledge or the constitution of the state of Indiana in the waste basket.” / There was the usual interest in the presentation of his message to the special session, by Governor Goodrich. The governor set out the purpose of the session and the importance of ratifying the federal amendment. 2 , There was no division on the amendment in the house, the vote being 93 to 0, while in the senate the only opponents of ratification were Senator Charles Hagerty, of South Bend; Senator Oliver Kline, of Huntington and Senator Franklin McCray of Marion county. Senator Kline declared he believed he was “voicing the sentiments of a majority of his constituents” in voting against the resolution. Senator McCray said he believed that the matter should not come to the attention of the assembly at this time when “all the world is crying out for relief,” and, furthermore, he believed the proceedings irregular and unconstitutional for the reason that it had never been submitted to a vote of the people. During the short afternoon session of the senate. Senator Joseph Cravens of Madison, offered’ a bill appropriating $10,000,000 and naming a commission to consist of the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house of representatives to acquire ground and erect buildings as a permanent home and memorial to the American Legion. Senator Cecil Tague of Brookville, saying he was a member of the Legion and that he “knows it is not the wish of members of the Legion that such legislation be considered at this time,” objected to receiving the bill. On roll call this objection Was sustained, 32 to 10, and a motion to reconsider was lost, 30 to 14. It was charged that politics influenced the presentation of the bill, by republican senators who voted to sustain Senator Tague’s objection. A resolution offered by Senator Kiper of Warrick county, asking that the federal government send to Nancy Hanks Lincoln burial

NOW EVERYTHING IS HIGH AND “DRY”

And it came to pass, on the 16th day, of the first month, of the last year of the reign of Woodrow, that a great drouth did set in,' and the people didst sojourn the length and breadth of the land in search of wine to drown their sorrow. Lo and Behold, in their plight, they were as the lamb or the ox for sacrifice and many did drink from poison flasks of wood alcohol and others of the flock being exposed in the land of desolation, passed up the flu. Now with the entrance of national prohibiten we do hope to see the passing of much national unrest and extravagance. Let all accept the fact that alcohol was superfluous. It took a lot of our time and money. Surely we must prosper only by the elimination of such vast Thus did the Franklin car become famous. , Built on “high and dry” principals, with the elimination of waste. Don’t invest in a car until you have investigated .in the Franklin car. Or as somebody said: “Don’t covet thy neighbor’s wife; till you’ve looked around.” . THOMPSON & KIRK ! —

THREE DAILY PAPERS SUSPEND PUBLICATION

Winnipeg, Jan. 16.—Because of the shortage of newsprint, the three daily papers in this city announced today that they would suspend publication tomorrow. The three editorial staffs will unite in issuing a one-page paper containng only the most important news, which will be mailed to country postoffices and placed on bulletin boards there. It is reported that the Lafayette Morning Journal is to discontinue the morning issue next week and the evening edition only will be published. The Joural recently purchased the Courier, the evening paper, and merged it with the Journal, which then put out two editions daily, a morning and evening one. The announcement that the morning edition is to be discontinued has aroused. considerable citizens of Lafayette, and there is already talk of a new paper there, which will probably end in tallc The new condition has been brought about by the high cost of paper, labor and other items entering into the cost of publishing a paper and it is doubtful if two papers will longer pay in Lafayette. • ‘ i ■ ■ ■■ l.
