Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1912-08-30

in sympathy with hers Ours is not q
oao sided life, We have been part
ners, and that's the way II should be-
in this world.
Mrs. Marshall has watched over his
administration of the affairs Of Indiana
with a jealous care There has been
nothing Of the spectacular in his ad,
minlstration 1t has been a sane gov
crnment. The laws that he has fought
for and won show the spirit Of the
man. They are uplifting They deal
with tho Improvement Of man. woman
/ and child.
While Governor Marshall is describ~
ed as a tender hearted" executive.
nevertheless, he is fighter. He be-
| longs to the old fighting stock of Vir>
| ginia
Governor Marshall is not dodger,
He. has his opinions, and he let's them.
be known While he is an organizationl
man, he knows that organizations arc
not perfect-that they can make mis-
takes. II they make mistakes hel
thinks it is his duty to say so and get
the saying over at the first possible
moment.
Mrs. Marshall is not satisfied with
her domestic duties alone. She wants
TO do her share in problems OF the po-
stical and business world. Mrs. Mar
shall is said to have discussed In de-
tail with her husband his actions on
the Baltimore convention, and when II
Was seen that Marshall was the mani
who was going to go on the ticket
with Wilson he wanted to know what
his wife thought about it.
ut won't be any harder than being
governor Of Indiana, and II the party
thinks you are the man II only agrees
with my opinion" she said, and that
settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall.
Mrs. Marshall had the honor Of be-
ing the first woman In Indiana tN hold
, an Office. She was appointed county
, clerk of Steuben county by her father
and held that Office for number OF
| years.
, When Governor Marshall and hia
} wife we're about to be married she de-
cided that her last official act OF the
/ Office would be to make out the mar
|. riage license. Governor Marshall ao~
. companied his wife to the county
: clerks Office and watched her with
r care as she noted the records In the,
:. big book and Allied out the license and
watched her az she carefully signed,
8 her fathers name, with her own as
r deputy.
t Mrs. Marshall, having blotted the,
:, ink, said, Nov we can CO."
o Not yet" laughed Governor Mar
g shall.
Why, we are all fixed" explained
8 Mrs. Marshall, pointing to the license.
; Yes, but have to pay for IT," re-
Il Piled the governor. ITS all right for
d you to make it out, but it's up to me
to pay the fee And he did.
Mrs. Marshall is a keen student,
and, having established the practice OF
u going with her husband on all his
y trips, be they short or long. they make
it point to carry along some books.
: Mrs Marshall is as much of hui
- manitarian as the governor. A glance
at some of the bills that have been
- passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature
= gives an insight into the governor:
To curtall child labor
i" To regulate sale of cold storage
ie products.
"A To require hygienic schoolhouset
NJ and medical examination OF children
,f The prevent blindness at birth.
70 To regulate sale of cocaine and 9th
m er drugs.
q. To provide free treatment for by
IT. drophobia.

,e To improve pure food laws.
va To protect against loan sharks.
nd To provide police court matronss
ri To prevent traffic in white slaves.
is To permit night schools.
Tx To require medical supplies aa Rar'
ve of train equipment
or Governor Marshall has also played
va an active part in providing for protec
or tion of labor, as is exampled bx the
ys. following acts:
To To create bureau OF inspection
~ for workshops, factories, mines and
en- boilers.

"a cies.
nv To require full train crews.
on To require safety devices on, sEitcl
- engines

And Governor Marshall has cor
suited with his partner on all thes
bills. He is quoted as saying ma
can't go far wrong In taking the. q
vice Of wife-if she is his partner q
well as his wife.
