WOMAh'S SUFFRAGE LAW
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Indiana Supreme Court Says 1t
Conflicts With "Male Citi-
zenS" Definition.

Indianapolis. Ind. Oct. 2G.-The
Indiana woman's suffrage law was
held to be unconstitutional by the
Indiana Supreme Court today. As u
result thousands OF women who ex-
pected to vote at the municipal cleo
tons 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
Justices Meyers and Larry.
The Supreme Court held that I'M
der the present Indiana Constitution,
which defines voters as "male citi-
zens." the Legislature did not have
the authority to confer the right Of
franchise on women as it attempted
to do when in session in 1917. The
court held the question before it to
be constitutional only, and did not
take up the contentious of the intcr-
ests attacking the law that to per
nit women to vote would cause great
additional expense and much confu-
sion.

Clerk Ohio County Court.
: When the report became current
yesterday evening that the Court of
Appeals had decided the Allen
county case in favor of the conten-
ton of the Democrats. considerable
excitement was created among the
Republican bosses who would hand
out such raw deal to the voters of
Ohio county.
A committee of three Democrats
called upon Clerk Blankenship at
7 o'clock last night and put the
question mp to him. demanding. en-
behalf of the candidates. to know if
he proposed to print the names of the
Democrats on the ballot or not. Blan-
kenship said he did not know yet
whether he would or not. but would
decide about it this morning. In
dignation has reached the remotest
parts of the county. and many good
Republicans are heaping condemnation
upon the bunch of local tricksters who
SO much fear a square deal. and are
willing to sacrifice the party to ac-
complish their own selfish ends.
This unheard Of method Of dealing
with free born Americans. and Ken
tuckians at that. will be resented by
the taxpaying patriotic citizens of
the GOOD county of Ohio and all 9th
err liberty loving people in the State.
AS said by prominent Republican,:
"This is the worst thing that ever
happened in this civilized communi-
ty."
The remedy is through the ballot
and we think it will be administered
good and proper.

A lady received the following re-

allowed her children and husband
to litter up every room in the
house:
The mark of the little muddy
feet can be more easily removed
than can the stains where they go
in the highway of sin. The prints
of little fingers on the window
pane cannot shut out the sum
shine half SO much as the shadow
that darkens the mothers heart
over the one who wanders from
the home where safety lies.
And if my Joe finds refuge
from care, and his greatest happi-
ness within it's four wallis, he can
put his boots in the hooking chain
and hang his coat on the floor
any day in the week. And if
stand it and he enjoys lit, | can
not see that it is anybody's af-
fairs"
This sentiment will find lodg-
ment in the heart of every home

a place of rest and comfort, a
haven of refuge from outside ills,
where one may relax and be at ease

Little Sister CT the moon lived up
on steep
Where the road wound upward to
the hill of sleep;
There she slept the daytimes, in a
messy cave,
Where all the shadows gathered
and dancing lessons gave.
At eight O'clock each night she
woke. Its time to rise, | guess"
She shook her tangled hair out, and
downed silver dress;
She washed her hands in water
that dubbed cold and sweet,
And packet a little basket with
fairy things to eat
The moon, her patient sister, was
watching in the blue,
She could not leave for supper with
"A SO many things to do
She must keep the little stars "a
wake, and put the breeze to sleep.
And scare away the cloudlets that
crowded round like sheep.
So Little Sister goes to her and
flies before her face;
She spreads her silver gown out
and bows a low Your Grace
With the Dipper for saucer and
a comet for spoon
She mikes sweets with fire and dew
and feeds them to the moon.

Silverbell was fairy. She
lived in the trunk of the walnut
tree near Miles home.
Nobody thought a fairy lived
there though, for the door looked
like just hole in the tree, but
Milly Brown, whose mother was a
widow, often thought it looked
like it might lie the home of some
thing interesting
One very warm day Milly took
her old rag doll and a box Of
play dishes, which were pieces of
broken dishes, out under the walnut
tree to play
AIilly spread IA small White rag on
the grass, and set out her dishes,
She set a place for her dolly and
hers Ii and a couple of imaginary
friends, and then she sat her dolly
up beside the table and told her TO
help herself
This she said, lis chicken;
and here is some cake; and this
is ice cream, and over here, .
pointing to an empty salve box,
is Strawberries. Isn't it grand din

She loved TO play thus with her
doll and Was quite interested in
the play dinner with the make be
lieve dishes and the dilapidated TIA

while trying to be hostess, guest
and the dinner too, and stretched
back in the grass while the bees
hummed her to sleep, and the leaves
swished above her head.
Milly was sound asleep, and
Silverbell, the little fairy who
lived in the walnut tree, began to
weave dreams for her
She gathered up the diilapidated
rag tablecloth and dishes and they
quickly disappeared.
Then she produced a dainty cloth
which she lay on the grass in the
place where they had been. Upon
it she placed plates, cups and
saucers that We're Just too dainty
for anything.
She brought small platter OF

strawberries, another of ice cream
and plate of cake
