state. This is not a new movement blthat the affairs of the state and na any itieam. for at every session of the'tion should be left in the hands of the
legislature a bill shows up from some
where seeking to give women the right to vote. Three years ago this move
ment reached its crest. For days and days a crowd of women lobbyists hovered over the state house and tried to drive home their arguments in favor ' of the right to vote. But they failed, "by a small margin, to get the bill through. But they have apparently not been discouraged by their failure and they are at it again with a good deal of energy. , Women's clubs throughout Ujb state have taken up the matter this season for the first time in a general way, and when the proposition reaches the legis. lature again it will have a stronger backing than it had before, from the fat that hundreds of club women who were hot interested before will be in the gams this time. : s In the last few weeks women all over the state have been talking woman suffrage. Most-of those "that have talkd are in favor of it. But there are tone who are not, and Mrs. Thomas K. Marshall, wife of Governor- Marshall; is one that believes women have no business with the ballot. She has
. com. out openly and declared her opposition to, the idea. ;. ' , In this lty the ! woman suffrage movement has appeared in two phases. One Is the demand for general suffrage, and the other is a plan by which women would have the right to vote at school elections, even If they are denied the right to vote at general elections This latter idea has sprung from the fact that Miss Mary Nicholsan was elected a member of the Indianapolis school . board at the city election last fall. Miss Nicholson was a teacher in the Indianapolis schools for many years, and it wu the women of fhs city that brought her out as a candidate for school commissioner. They declared that her long experience in school work fitted her for the office. At first there was doubt as to whether the law would permit a woman to hold the office of school commissioner, but good lawyers looked into the Question and decided that there was nothing to prevent her from holding the office if elected to it. So Miss Nicholson became a candidate and the women got out and worked for her tooth and toenail and she won out. v This has seemed to encourage the women, especially of this city, in their fight for the right to vote. They say now tvit If they are good enough to

men. Mrs. Marshall not only declared that she was opposed to woman suffrage in any form, but said that she was opposed to the plant to grant women the right to vote at school elections. . Judging from what she said, Mrs. Marshall will not lend any assistance to the movement for woman suffrage In the state. She believes women are too impulsive to have charge of the reins of government. They do not, weight questions sufficiently and are too likely to be guided by their sentiments rather than the equalities and inequalities of a situation. In her talk ilrs. Marshall left no doubt that she prefers the cares of her household to the cares of the public
weal as embodied in the ballot. - She said she had confidence in the purity and honesty of men a.nd in their power to administer the affairs of government capably. ' .. r'?'t- . These are not jiew opinions with Mrs. Marshall, she said, and she saidi.that she did not expect to change them, , She said she based her belief on what she
had seen and observed of men as the directors of these affairs and what she knew of women with their Impulse and often unstudied action. "I have always felt that men are more capable to take care of these affairs and I am still of that opinion. I do not believe in woman suffrage. But if there is any place where a woman's voice might well be heard it is in school matters, but I am inclined to the belief that men are Just as competent there as anywhere else. A man has better foresight. He weighs all questons before acting on them. A woman is liable to act on an impulse without the careful consideration which a man would give a question. It is for this reason that I think men who are really good men should have charge of these affairs. My observation has been
that men are Just as capable in these things as women." The attitude taken by Mrs. Marshall is likely to cut a big figure in the woman suffrage campaign in Indiana, for with her aid, backed by the prestige of her position as "first lady" of the stats, the movement would have made much greater progress than it will be able to make without it. But Mrs. Marshall's mind seems to be fixed against the idea, and there is nothing which now indicates that she will make any ch anger Tariff opfttTofiV ' ' ' f'

metal is iron. All these signs and
colorings are arranged in artistic de

prices from 1 upward.
The rings at $1 are handsome, and
has become a fad for betrothed

Sometimes the exchange is made on
the marriage day. This happened at a prominent marriage recently.
