HinckIe Writes of
Jamaican Hurricane

Rev. Milo F. Hinckle, former pastor
Of East Main Street Friends church,
who is in Jamaica, gives a graphic
description of the effects Of a hurri-l
cane which visited the island somel
weeks ago and destroyed tie mission
house and other buildings, in letter
to THE American Friend" this week
In part Mr.. Hinckle says: "The
worst hurricane since 1903 swept the
eastern portion Of the island the night
Of September % and the morning of
September %, striking first at Seaside
and merciless1y stretching over half
or perhaps more of the island.
Crops were ruined, cocoanut trees
uprooted and broken off and fruit
shaken to the ground. The mission
home which was to have been our
home is now pile of pieces three
inches high.
The church building, girls school
and boys school are in terrible con-
dition. ONE repairs have been made
to the girls school but they are far
from comfort and safety.
And yet yesterday when we arrfy-
ed we found Happy Grove school In
session and in the best of order and
spirits. The welcome the teachers
and boys and girls gave us was the
most genuine and touching ! ever
have known"

WOMEN LOSE
VOTE RIGHT
WHEN HIGH
COURT ACTS
Supreme Judges Decide Suf-
frage Law of Indiana is
Unconstitutional - One
Jurist Dissents.
ACTION LEGAL ONLY

INDIANAPOLIS Oct. 2S.-The In
diana womans suffrage law was held
to be unconstitutional by the Indiana
suprese court today. AS result,
thousands of women who expected to
vote at the municipal election to be
held next month will not be permitted
to do so.
Justice Harvey dissented from the
decision of the other three justices of
the court Justice Spencer wrote the
decision, It being concurred in by Jus
tices Meyers and Larry.
The Supreme court held that under.
the present Indiana constitution which
defines voters as male citizens" the
legislature did not have the authority
to confer the right Of franchise "a
women as it attempted to do when N
session in 1917. The court held the
question before 1t to be constitutional
only and did not take up the conten-
ton Of the interests attacking the law
that to permit women to vote would
add great additional expense and
much confusion. .
Is Political Privilege.
In its decision the court said the
right of suffrage was not a natural or
inherent right but purely a political
privilege and was a matter for the
people to decide in their capacity as
creators Of the constitution or organic
Law.
Discussing the argument of the
lawyers for the women that the legis-
lature could give women the privilege
OF voting regardless of the provision
of the constitution that electors must
be made" citizens 21 years old or
more the court said if the contention
was correst the legislature could pass
law permitting persons less than 81
years old tc vote.
The right of franchise is political
privilege only which originates from
the recpis In their aYsar ~: sla r ors
through the 1sgislative4 action rEsan
after the people have authorized such
action, the decision said.
Two Reasons Cited.
The two things which governed the
case before the court and which made
the law invalid, the court said. were
article 2 section 2 Of the constitution
which defines the electorate which
may participate in all elections and
second that the general assembly has
not the authority to extend the right
of franchise to persons not included in
the definition set forth in article 2,
section 2 OF the constitution.
The suit was filed several months
ago in Marion county court by W.
w. Knight, local business man. The
lower court held the law to be uncon-
stitutional and issued an injunction
against the election officials in Indi-
annapolis forbidding them to permit
women to vote. AS the case stood,
until the decision by the supreme
court today, only women in Indianap-
oils were enjoined from voting. The
court also held women are not entitled
to vote for school commissioners.

TWO MILLION
LIBERTY MARK
IS IN SIGHT;
NEED$175,OOO
Wednesday Drive Gives the
Campaign For Loan Sales
Impetus-Papers Given
Credit For Success.
APATHY IS ENDED

Momentum given the Liberty Loan
sale by the drive" on Wednesday, is
pushing the grand total for Wayne
county toward the two million mark,
and unless there should be sudden
slump in sales today and tomorrow,
that mark will be reached before the
banks close tomorrow night.
At noon Friday the total sales for
Wayne county had reached $1,825,0o0.
One week ago today the committee in
charge of the Liberty Loan movement
in Wayne county were worried for
fear that the county's maximum OF
$4,000 could not be reached. The
general apathy in rural districts and
the absence of anything like rush for
bonds even in Richmond, was regard
ed as an indication that old Wayne
was likely to trail behind some other
counties of equal size and approx
matelS the same bank resources.
The committee members in general
attribute the success of the Wayne
county campaign to two things in the
main:
Newspaper Support
First, the splendid publicity given
the movement through the Richmond
newspapers, and this means both the
paid advertising and the warm en-
dorsement g:~en through the news
columns each day.
Second, the drive OF last Wednesday
which was entered into with such vim
by a half hundred and more Of the
city's business men and which brought
to the surface for the first time the
interest of the citizens in general.
"Of course the real reason for
WAYNE county oversubscribing its
quota" said a committee member Fri
day, 'is the fact that Wayne county
has the wealth, but 1t must be ad-
mitted by any person who gives it
thought that the wealth land by this
/ mean the man with. $50 as well as
the man with $50.000), would not be
used for the purchase OF Liberty Loan
bonds, unlass drst there Was suitable
publicity given the movement and
then an organized effort made to land
it. These things must be carried to
their logical conclusion in natural Sc
quence And this was just what was
accomplished in Richmond and else
where In Indiana and other states
where the Liberty Loan was oversub-
sc-ibed It was a splendid lesson in
business The man who has some
thing to sell that is worth buying will
never succeed until he has given his
product proper publicity and then
backs it up with a sales organization.
so after all, what Wayne county.
and particularly Richmond. did was
simply to follow the plan of the sue
cessful man OF affairs. The govern
ment furnished us the goods and a
patriotic movement did the rest. 1t
was a fine thing for the county and
city and every man, woman and child
who invested is satisfied customer.
