The measure now goes to Governor Goodrich and he is expected to sign it, nnd, If he does, Indiana women will cast ballots for presidential electors at the next national Election. The passage of the measure was preceded by debute for nnd against the bill and there was no chance for the suffrage workers on the sidelines not to know what was going on, as was the case when the bill was passed by the house. Senator Kline, Republican, of Huntington, and Senators Erakine of Vincennes and Haggerty of South Bend, Democrats, voted against the measure. SAeuators Glaser, McCullough and Furnas were absent.

By a vote of 48 to 46 the house adopted the highways commission bill as originally drawn, which would place all money derived from automobile license fees in the hands of the proposed commission.

When she attempted to return she found she was lost and did not know which way to turn. She appeared to the police. An automobile was placed at her disposal and two policemen spent the greater part of a day canvassing the rooming houses of the city. Late in the afternoon the hotel owner called the police .station and said one of the three children was gone. Mrs. Riggins wus taken to the hotel. She found her fourteen-year-old son and nine-months-old baby, I*ut her seven-year-old daughter was the one who had wandered away looking for her mother.

WANTS IRELAND FREE

RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED »Y HOUSE COMMITTEE. Aiki Peace Conference to Consider Favorably Claims of the Emerald Isle. Washington, Feb. 7.—The house for elgn affairs committee ordered favorably reported a resolution expressing the hope that the peace conference would “favorably consider the claims of Ireland to the right of self-deter-mination.” Four of the seventeen members of the committee attending the meeting were understood to have voted against the resolution. The text follows: “Resolved, by the house of representatives (the seuute concurring) that It Is the earnest hope of the congress of the United States of America thnt the peace conference now siting In Paris in passing upou the rights of self-determination.” The resolution was a substitute for thnt of Representative Gallagher of Illinois (Dem.), requesting the American delegates to “present and urge on the pence conference the right to freedom, independence and self-determin-ation of Ireland, predicated upon the principle laid down by the president in his plea for nn international league, that ‘all governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed.’ ”

MAKES FILIBUSTER THREAT

Republican Senators Hold Up Resolution to Investigate Election of Newberry of Michigan. Washington, Feb. 7.—The Tomerene resolution calling for nn investigation of the election of Truman H. Newberry to the senate from Michigan, was blocked by Republican senators. They gave notice to the Democratic side they will start a filibuster if necessary and hold up all the big supply bills to prevent the resolution from coming to a vote. It is not probable that any action at all in the matter can be taken by the present senate In view of the threatened filibuster. If any investigation is made It w-111 be done by the next senate in which the Republicans will be in the majority.

Friends of the measure believe' they will obtain this vote und possibly one or two more.

HAVE DONE THEIR BIT.

Mrs. O. A. Jones of near Rensselaer, whose husband is in Co. A, 28th Engineers, in France, rec< ntly received a letter from him enclosing the following bit of verse: ,

WE ARE SURE TO GO TO HEAVEN FOR WE’VE DONE OUR HITCH IN HELL.

I am sitting here a-thlnking of the things I left behind, And X hate to put on paper what is running through my mind; We’ve dug a million trenches, and we’ve cleaned ten miles of ground, A cleaner place this side of hell, I think is still unsound; But there’s one consolation, gather close and I will tell. When dead, we’ve bdtind for Heaven, for we’ve done our hitch in hell. We’ve built a hundred kitphens, for the cooks to stew our beans. We’ve stood a million guard-mounts, and we’ve cleaned the camp latrine. We’ve washed a million mess-kits, and we’ve pealed a million spuds. And rolled a million blanket rolls, and scrubbed a million duds. The number of parades we’ve made, would be hard for us to tell, But we’ll parade in Heaven, for we’ve done our hitch in hell. _ We’ve run a thousand 'extra trains; light and heavy guns we’ve tossed. Past which the German hoards must go, if they would get across. A hundred million inspections, every one of us have stood, And more inoculations than in civil life we could. And how much dust we’ve eaten, no one s can ever tell, ) But we’ll eat no dust In for we’ve done our hitch In hell. W'e’ve cleaned our shoes a million times, and washed our leggins white, We’ve ironed our shirts and pressed our clothes, on every Friday night. We’ve hiked a hundred million miles, and made a hundred camps; We’ve pulled a hundred bales of straw from out the seats our pants. But when our work on earth is done, our friends behind will tell, “They died and went to Heaven, for they've done their hitch In hell.” When final taps Is sounded and we lay aside life’s cares, We'll do our last parading, "tip the shining .golden stairs, When the bugle bids us welcome and the harps begin to play, St. Peter will bid us welcome, loud but sweeto to us he’ll yell—- “ Forget your fears, . 28th Engineers, you’ve done your hitch in hell."

If Your Feet Ache and Bum and make you tired all over, ask any druggist for Allen’a Foot-Ease, the Antiseptic powder-—shake it in your shoes and walk all day In comfort. It has no equal for Corns, Bunions, Blisters or Callouses. Used by American, British and French soldiers. —Advt.
