THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM MONDAY, JAN. 20, 1919.

IMPORTANT BILLS COMING THIS WEEK BEFORE ASSEMBLY Drastic Dry Amendment, Suffrage and Tax Reform Bill Will be Before Legislature. (By Associated PresiO INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 20. Woman suffrage by constitutional amendment, the tax reform bill and administration highway measure, the Sunday moving picture bill arid more stringent prohibition legislation by amendment to the law enacted at the last cession are row or will be before the legislature Borne time during the ensuing week. Amendments to the present highway law were to be introduced on Monday by Sentor Luke Duffey. These would provide that the governor should ap

point a non-salaried, bi-partisan com-i mission of four members, who would elect a director to have charge of all main market highways and roads con-;

necting all cities with a population of 6,000 or more. The house is scheduled to follow Monday the senate In killing the pending constitutional amendments for woman suffrage and preventing the Increase of salaries of public officials during their incumbency. This will clear the way for other constitutional amendments, which merely await this action. Suffrage BUI Ready. Senator Beardsley said he Intends to introduce his suffrage amendment granting the vote to women and barring aliens from the polls almost immediately after the house Tejects the pending amendments. He said that Senator English likely would Introduce several other proposed amendments, favored by Governor Goodrich, at the same time. Senator English introduced these amendments earlier in

the session, but it was necessary to expunge them from the records because the constitution prohibits the introduction of amendments while one or more are pending. The tax reform bill, drawn by the state tax commissioners at the request of Governor Goodrich, was still in the mill of preparation today, but legislative leaders thought It would be ready for Introduction before Saturday. Representative Frank E. Wright's bill striking at Illegal liquor traffic, places generally known as "wet drug stores" and "near beer" bars may be taken up for second reading in the house during the week. Sunday "Movie" Bill. Whether th? senate will override Governor Goodrich's veto of the bill passed at last session permitting Sunday moving pictures will be decided at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon when the bill will come up aa a special order of business. The bill was returned to the senate by the secretary of state

for further action and will be on the floor for consideration with out having been referred to a committee. The governor Is said to favor Sunday movies, but vetoed the bill because the clause fixing the time for theaters to open on Sunday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon In some way was dropped out in the house and senate committee conference. Most Important business Anally disposed of at the present session to date is the ratification of the prohibition amendment to the constitution. What fight is made against amending the prohibition law may develop on the floor of the house. Representatives from . Evan3ville, Torre Haute, and a few other large cities have Indicated they do not approve of certain of the proposed amendments. The greatest objection, so far voiced, Is against the provision to define any beverage which contains alcohol liquor as an intoxicating drink.

LENINE ARRIVED IN SPAIN SAYS REPORT

MADRID. Jan. 20. Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik! premier of Russia, was among Russians who landed at Barcelona recently, according to newspapers here.

RENDING THE VEIL A man who cannot return a woman's love will still find pleasure In that woman's "I love you" if only she does not say it in words. Her eyes may be haunted with the message; her love for him may be an open secret. But as long as the words remain unsaid, the man can still either draw flattery from her self-betrayal, if her love feeds- his vanity, or he can tell himself that her love is for some one else. But let the woman utter the three short words aloud to him and at once he finds her love a stone about his neck. He cannot pick and choose as to their meaning. He is up against a situation about which he must do something at once; a situation whLch it takes rarest tact of the heart to save a man from acting the prig, cad or brute, or all in one. Walt Stedman, married and in love with his wife, felt to the full the embarrassment and distrust of Lucy's declaration of her love for him. Although freer from convention feeling than most men, he wished that Lucy had been more conventionally reticent. "What is there I can say, Lucy?" he asked awkwardly. "I am sorry " he Btopped. "Sorry for what?" Lucy prompted.

"Sorry that I love you? Or that I told you?" "Both, of course though your telling Is the less Important " "To me it is almost the more important!" Lucy broke In with the fervor of a zealot. "All my life I have suffered because convention forces women to be silent on the most vital matters in life. As a girl I accumulated foolish and harmful misconceptions on woman's fundamental nature, because my mother thought It unbecoming to speak to her daughter on such matters. Aa a young woman I lost happiness for two lives because I was taught it was unbecoming for a woman to fpeak out her love for a man; and the man I loved was too shy to tell me he loved me. What a. strange man he was! As a wife I suffered you don't know what cruelty from my husband, and for years because I was ashamed to tell the world I had failed in my marriage. If he bad not died in drunken delirium I suppose I would still be taking his beatings because asking for a divorce would be 'letting the world know' that I no longer loved my husband. I'm through, I tell you with this hideous silence women must keep on matters that make or break their lives. It's hard enough, God knows, to deal with these matters when they

PEACE BRINGS MANY JOYS The war taught us to save and to serve.

are brought out Into the light Why must we add to our burdens the keeping of these things in the dark? - "The worst of this secrecy we womon must keep up before the world is that we soon begin to hide the truth from ourselves. You are married and 1 must not love you; least of all must I tell you that I love you- So I begin by trying to hide from myself the truth. I lie to myself. I try to live as though you were nothing to me and I succeed about as well as a ship in a storm with its compass all wrong. "Well, I'm through with lying to myself! At least I know where I stand. And because I've told you the truth, I no longer have to be the dupe

of my hopes. I no longer have to pluck flower petals to find out whether you love me or Janet. Isn't that gain enough, even though the truth is bitter?" Walt grasped her hands in his. ' "Lucy, a woman with your courage to look life in the face needs no com

forting from me," he said. "I'd, rather have your courage to face life square

ly than be happy and not have it.

Look to me, Lucy, for anything I can give you without being false to my

love for Janet. You're a woman any

man would glory In to call a 'dear

friend!'"

She smiled sadly, but said nothing.

She looked so tired, so much 'alone,

that he was torn between his desire

to do something to comfort her ana his inability to think of anything hX could do. So he bade her good night and softly closed the door behind him, leaving her alone with her thoughts. (To be continued.)

to buy "Made in America" products. The "House of Dickinson" has always advocated such a policy. The recommendation and boosting of American-made. merchandisers not new with

us, as for years we have pushed Americanmade watches, and it was not sentiment alone that caused us to take this

course, but the fact that Americans in America, working in American factories, paid in good old Amer

ican money, produce the best Watches made in the world. Why wouldn't we recommend them? Why

shouldn't you buy them?
