LOCAL FACTORIES ARE TO PLACES Usual Dull Season Not at Hand This Year New Foundry Is Opened.

Despite the fact that this is generally considered the "dull" season by local agricultural machine manufacturers, the factories are being flooded with orders, and there are verw few persons desirous of obtaining work, who cannot find employment. The agreement entered into by the American Seeding Machine company with the J. I. Case company of Racine, "Wis., a short time ago, to the effect 'that the salesmen of each concern 'take orders for the other, resulted in :the local factory being literally swampled with business. The company is considering adding a number of men to I its force. The sale of the Gaar-Scott company :to the M. Rumely company of Laporte has also shown results beneficial to j Richmond. At the present time, when", 'as a rule, work is slack, there are more jmen employed at the local plant than ! at any other time in the history of the ! concern. Ed Hunt, formerly foreman of the foundry at the Wayne Works, and j George Schultz, formerly superintendent of the Wayne Works have severed

their connection with that concern and have started a foundry in the property of the old Richmond City Mill Works. According to information obtainable the new company will do foundry job work, for the present at least.

; The new company will put on an additional number of employes within a (short time, it is said. ! The weather man is to be blamed

for the fact that the Elliott-Reid Fence company has taken off its night shift, although the day force is working full time. Mr. Reid stated today that the ground had been in such a condition that it was a physical impossibility to plant the posts for fence. He expects to put the night force on again within a short time, in case the weather is

feuch to permit the building of fences. ! The new warehouse, recently erectjed by the Elliott-Reid company, has (1,000,000 rods of wire fence stored in fit now. V

NOTICE TO U. S. W.'V. At the regular meeting of Denver Brown Camp, U. S. W. V. tonight they will elect delegates and alternates to the 9th annual encampment to he held at Terre Haute on the 5th and 6th of June. Right after camp meeting the Snake will convene for the purpose to make ready to assemble for the fourth annual crawl at Terry Hut on the 5th light of the 6th moon. Hear ye all the sons of Kattee Puna, wherefore, attend ye this mandate and follow the path of the Loat and be in attendance tonight.

OSrUMBER OF ARRESTS SLUMPS LAST MONTH

A record was established by Richmond for last month in point of arrests. t This year there were only 41 arrests for the month of March and last year 107 testified to the vigilant jefforts of the police. This is regarded (as an exceptional record. Probably !the extreme, cold weather had some:thing to do with it, it is suggested. Carl Freeman, colored, had a mean joke played on him this morning. He was arrested Saturday night for drunk vand left a sum of money sufficient to jpay his fine of $1 and costs which he (thought would be the damages assessed against him. This morning his honor placed the assessment at $5 and cots. He will be requisitioned for fthe remainder.

THE OBJECT OF THE FRANCHISE LEAGUE

Women Their Own Worst Enemies in Advancement of the Sex. Men in Favor of Women's Suffrage. Women Have io Be Persuaded.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Many inquiries have been made as to the special avowed object of the Woman's Franchise League of Indiana, a branch of which was organized in this city on Friday evening at the high school hall after an address from Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, and whose organization is being perfected this afternoon at a meeting in the Commercial Club rooms. Its object is not at all complex. Its machinery is not involved. Its general purpose is to organize women to a recognition of the necessity of an interest in the trend of the sentiment of the day toward giving women a voice in the management and adjustment of the affairs of the state. Its specific object to organize the women of Indiana and inaugurate a campaign of education to the end of bringing such pressure to bear upon the next legislature which meets the coming winter that it will agree to procedure which will result in an amendment to the constitution, giving women full suffrage, or equal suffrage with men. Women are their own worst enemies. That is, in securing those social and industrial rights and privileges which are theirs' under the present social regime. It is not the men in Indiana that the women interested in seeing this brought about have to fight or persuade. It is the women. It is the apathy and indifference of the individual woman which, in the aggregate, defeats this purpose in the state of Indiana. The interest of men is honest and widespread. This was shown by the presence of many men in the audience on Friday evening. The high school hall was filled and about one-third of the audience was of masculine complexion. One man stated since that the subject was under discussion at the Elks' club in this city and he was surprised at the number of men who expressed themselves in its favor. Some of the leading public men of the state are for woman's suffrage. As stated by Mrs. Clarke, and referred to here a number of times before, in six states women haye the full franchise. This has been augmented by Michigan whose legislators and governor the other day pushed through and signed a bill for the enfranchisement of women in that state. This is the first of the commonwealths, aside from those of the far West, which has given equal suffrage to women. It is only a matter of time when it will be universal in this country. Even China, as a nation, is more liberal than the United States the famed land of the free and the home of the brave. For the new Chinece Republic has given women the full franchise with men, although suffrage is of the restricted class for both sexes.

In Iceland women sit in the national legislature. In both Norway and Sweden women have the right of a participation in public affairs. Indeed the Scandinavian countries are the most enlightened and progressive in this social phase of any of the nations of the world. In Finland, before its Russian, enslavement, women sat in the country's councils. The frank trouble with women is their snobbishness. Man is a more or less snobbish animal, but in the larger field of activity he minimizes this ignores it entirely.' It is common enough to say that women do not unite, as do men, for a common end. Many women are deterred from an expression of interest in women's enfranchisement because they think it will result in a loss of prestige. If they cared to inform themselves they would find that many "leading society women" were ardent supporters of this propaganda. Mrs. Oliver Belmont, one of New York's great hostesses and wife of a man known to the nation as one of its citizens of enormous wealth, is an officer in the national suffrage organization and has lent her wealth and influence to its proceedings. Mrs. Belmont herself frequently delivers speeches in its favor and explanation. Mrs. Belmont is merely cited as a "society woman" who is "strong" for woman's suffrage. In this state, especially in Indianapolis, the social leaders are prominent and active in the suffrage propaganda notably Mrs. Meredith Nicholson, wife of the famous novelist, and Mrs. Haute Tarkington Jameson, sister of Booth Tarkington, both of them women of great social prestige. On the other hand some of the most notable and influential professional and business women are conspicuous in the movement for equal suffrage for women. This movement, in short, is a democratic one and includes both in membership and official personnel, every phase and coterie of feminine society. "Society" used just there In its most inclusive sense. Broad minded women recognize the fact that it is only in "union" that "there is strength." And, as emphasized here before, the enfranchisement of women is desired

In order to adjust those economic inequalities between men and women, industrial discrimination against women and business injustice practiced toward them which admittedly exist. If women have the ballot they can unite and support those men for office who will agree to put through, or lend their influence to, such measures as will bring about the ecenomic independence of women. In the states where the full franchise for women prevails very few women run for or hold office. Very few women will do so in Indiana. Women will and should be made members of school boards, as they are eminently fitted for positions of this character, but it Is to be doubted that women, would, especially in this state make an active effort for pub lie office, except in isolated instances. This column has emphasized over and over the fact that women should have the right of the vote merely as a right of citizenship. If it is accomplished here the women would vote ju6t as the men do walk down to the polls, deposit their ballot and walk back again. There is nothing revolutionary about

such a procedure and will not so result. The women of the city may as well get together now because It is only a matter of a few years when they will have the ballot whether the individual entities are "for" it or not. It's bound to come. Delegates will be appointed this afternoon from the Richmond branch to the state convention of the League to be held on Wednesday and Thursday of this week in the Claypool Hotel, Indianapolis. Every woman in Richmond is invited to join the Richmond branch. The dues are fifty cents. The object a campaign of education in fhis community. There will be little "red tape" about the machinery of the organization. It will endeavor to give publicity to the objects of the League and to attach to its membership all women interested and seek to interest the indifferent or uninformed.
