FOR SUFFRAGE BY BIG VOTE The State Federation voted in favor e"f equal suffrage this afternoon after a lengthy debate. An overwhelming majority favored granting woman the ballot. The minority report of the resolutions committee opposing equal suffrage was voted down 85 to, 59, and the majority report was accepted. A majority and minority report on the proposition of advocating an equal suffrage resolution to go before the legislature was presented lo the Federation of - Labor convention today. Three members of the resolutions cornmi (tee approved of equal suffrage, two opposed It. J. W. Lackey, of Terre Haute, said : "I have never before met such a surprise as this. Why men who have pleaded for the economic uplift of humanity, who this very day permitted women to vote on ail questions in the State Federation, and then to say that they have not the right and abality to vote for political officers surprises me. There is no consistency in this stand. I believe that women must help In politics as they have done in the Industrial world. These women can vote in this convention on laws governing us, why not on laws to govern society? "Let The Women Vote." "Let these women go to rhe polls. Let us not put a stigma on this convention that it is prejudiced against women. I am not afraid of them. Anything the women do not want, ought not be in this country. Every labor organization has endorsed' the Suffrage movement, and shall we stand back? ''It is not a political question, but a human question. I? we deny, them the rights we have, we will soon loose the privileges we have. The thing to do is to give the women the right to vote, i William New, Indianapolis, representing the brewery workers, maintained it is a political q uestion. "Equal Suffrage means a political allignment. Certain politicians are waiting to use our endorsement to further their state platforms." Mrs. Field Speaks. , Mrs. Anna Field, of El.vood, said: "Four of us ladies introduced the resolution. We did not introduce it to further a political party, but to further woiranhood. .We are not in politics, wait till we get the strings and we will show you something. Your federation has gone on record four times, efarq favoring, it, so has tha mer!can., Federation of Labor. I cannot vote, bit the ignorant foreigner can. I am not a politician, but hope to be. I want you to give us .the right. If I have no better right to vote than a law breaker, I must be shown." Mrs. Fileds insisted that woman has dren. : VviHiam Houston, mine, worker of Tevre ' Hute. pleftded for equal suffrage. "Six states have done so. We boast of being progressive, and yet we deny woman, the center of progress, the right to vote." Delegates, then maintained again that it is not a trades union, question, but a political question. Speakers claimed that the- State Federation should not take action on political questions. 'Delegate Tan Horn, member of the cemrjitteo on resolutions, pleaded for equal, suffrage, arguing that women snould enjey all the rights of men. He repeated tho argument of Mr. Houston that if the women must go into the factory to vote, then they must have the right to protect themselves by vpting for protective laws. "Women have progressed," Baid he, "and the nation should grant them suffrage." Barry In Opposition. Ed Barry, Indianapolis, signer of the minority report against equal suffrage said: "I yield to" no man in my respect for woman. ' The., band that has rocked the cradle ml' a world, and it will do so even ii,..men can, vote." . ' ,: .He maintained that the state needs njbt more but less voters. : "I will go to the ballot and vote against equal suffrage. I know that, aliens are perSltted to vote, but I - am opposed to e influx of Ignorant foreigners." ; Delegate Carl Ott wanted to table the minority report. !but President Perkins said this would mean In effect that the whole question be tabled. 'Delegate Parry reviewed the action favoring and opposing woman's suffrage In the history of the Federation. He said that the proposition is not a political but an industrial question. TJxe trades union should go on record now favoring it. Delegate Hawley put the issue on an ethical basis. He expressed the belief that Providence did not intend woman to work. "If women have the right to vote there will be more morality. If women have voice in making laws, the laws will be good. The value of women voting to organized labor la great. , Delegate Wiley questioned the sincerity of the delegates who maintain--ed that it was a political question. "I would hate to think that my wife and mother has not the knowledge and sincirety to vote for political principles. ' Delegate Burns of Logansport, said the best educated women in Cass county did not want equal suffrage. ' Mrs. Anna Smith wanted to know why the men opposed ' It. ' " W. M. Ralney said the coal diggers of Indiana favor equal suffrage and that he would insist on giving the question a hearing. "Certala elements who always bring perplexing questions before the federation, are opposing it now. No trades unionist need fear the results of equal suffrage. The day is coming when woman will vote and you might Just as well hasten the

Recently a visitor to the library inquired pleasantly how she had spent her vacation, to which the lady librarian, replied idly. "Oh.

LAWS OF WAR.

Rule That Govern the Civilized Powers of the World. As at present formulated by tbe civilized powers of the world, tbe "laws of war" forbid tbe use of poison against tbe enemy; murder by treachery, as, for example, assuming tbe uniforms or displaying the flags of foes; the murder of those who have surrendered, whether upon condition or at discretion; declarations that no quarter will be given to an enemy; the use of such arms or projectiles as will cause unnecessary pain or suffering to en enemy; the abuse of a flag of truce to gain Information concerning an enemy's position; all unnecessary destruction of property, whether public or private. These laws also assert that only fortified places shall be besieged, open cities or villages not to be subject to siege or bombardment; that public buildings of whatever character, whether belonging to state or church, shall be spared; that plundering by private soldiers or their officers shall be considered inadmissible; that prisoners shall be treated with common humanity; that the personal effects and private property of prisoners, except their arms and ammunition, shall be respected; that the population of an enemy's country shall be considered exempt from participation in the war unless by hostile acts they provoke the ill will of the enemy. New York Press. SHARING THE SORROW. A Kindly Custom of the Arabs When a Baby Dies. "Arabs east of the Jordan have a custom which shows a kindly feeling one toward another." "writes a traveler. "If a man's horse dies (next to bis eldest son. his best companion) his neighbor will bring in another horse and put it in the stall of the dead one and allow it to remain seven days, thinking in some measure to make up for tbe loss of the dead animal. "The women also do something similar when a baby dies. A relation or friend will give the bereaved mother her own baby to nurse and care for during seven days. In that time the parent is supposed to become reconciled to her loss. "Memory calls up a touching incident that occurred in bur domestic life in Moab. Soon after our advent Into that land my wife had the misfortune to lose a little one. It soon became known, and tba women were very grieved about it. A day or two after a young chief that had always been kindly disposed toward us presented himself at our door. I asked him in. He entered and from under his cloak brought a tiny white lamb. He put It Into my wife's arms, saying: l'm sorry for your loss and if I had a baby would have lent it 'to you to care for until you had got over your grief. 1 bad this lamb, so Have brought It for you to look after, feed and care for.' " . Burled Foreete. A writer la Gardiners' (London) Chronicle, describing the Kauri forests on the west coast of New Zealand, says that in places they have buried forests beneath them. It seems incredible that trees roughly estimated at 2.000 years old should have other still older tree under them. The sap wood of these buried trees quickly goes to dust, but the heart wood is perfectly sound, and much capital Is invested by sawmills In getting the wood out. Kauri gum, which is now used extensively for special varnishes and other branches of the mechanic arts, la the product of these trees and Is dug up like a mineral from swampy land where the trees have been buried and disappeared through ages of de cay. The Kauri (Dammara australls) Is a species of fir and a very valuable timber tree. Nations, like individuals, live or die. but civilization cannot perish. Maz zini.

Charlotte Corday, the slayer of Marat, was, according to the best authorities, of noble lineage. Unlike the Maid of Orleans, the most illustrious blood flowed in her veins. She was well educated, and not a whisper was ever beard against her moral character. It does not appear that she ever manifested the slightest signs of insanity or fanaticism. Her action In killing Marat was attended by nothing like madness or hallucination. Taught to believe that the Paris butcher was the one man who hindered the righteous settlement of the strife that was deslroying her country, she quietly went down to the great city and in a very unostentatious manner dispatched the man she believed to be her people's greatest enemy New York American.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

A few "reasons why" along with the special inducements offered by the Association may be timely. A prominent business. man of Chicago, E. A. Halsey of the committee of management or the Chicago Y. M. C. A. says "I believe that membership in the Y. M. C. A. is worth much more than it costs because it affords its members a place where they can invest their surplus to the best advantage. This surplus is not of the monetary kind, it is the surplus of his personality. First a man's , surplus of time, which he wishes to use, whether it be half an hour or half a day or even more. He can invest it by going into the Association building and spending it in coming into direct personal contact with men who come in there. He can soon find a place where a real interest in what concerns the other fellow will call forth a genuine response. I know of no place where I can invest any surplus time, physical or mental power, or any other elements of my personality with such a certainty of producing results which are worth while, as in this work which is helping to make all-round Christian Loose and Mounted DIAMONDS O.
