LAFAYETTE. Ind, April 19-The suit
which Helen NJ. Cougar brought against
the election board here for refusing to per-
nit her to cast ballot at the last No
vember election was decided against her by
Judge Everett to-day. The case went to
issue on demurrer by the defendants,
claiming there was no cause for action.
The court reviewed the case at length and
summed up the decision at the close in the
following language:
Again, it is contended by plaintiff that
comforting suffrage to males alone, is a.
fragrant violation of all our various declar-
ations and laws against class legislation
class properly applicable 10 division of
the human family the dividing line of
sex? The term class used in political
and governmental language, as / understand
it. implies separate and conflicting inter-
ests between divisions of the people without
1.-THE historical fact is that for some
cause. governmental declarations have been
formulated and laws enacted on the theory
OF unity of interest of male and female;
that husband and wife constitute and rep
resent but one common interest, and that
the family is the unit in government and
entitled to, and properly represented by one
vote, in recording the will of we the peo-
pie Whether the cause of this fact have
its foundation and warrant in the propriety
and decree of nature; or whether 1t be the
result merely of male assumption and
usurpation is a question on which there are
different opinions. If the true reason have
it's foundation in nature, then 1t Is more
than likely that in the future, as In the past,
politics, government. and war will continue
to be generally regarded as affairs main
ly for male attention and supervision; but
if the true cause have it's warrant and
foundation only in male assumption and
male usurpation, then it is likely that in
the evolution of the fitness of things. an
enlightened civilization, and social progress
will lead our lawmakers to change and
so formulate our Constitution and laws, as
to give plaintiff, and all others of her sex
who may so desire, that full and equal
political freedom and responsibility for
which she has so ably and earnestly argued
in this case; but, under the existing laws.
