HOUSE PASSES
PRESIDENTIAL
SUFFRAGE BILL
Measure Giving Indiana Wom-
en- Partial Vote Passes 90 to
8.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 25.-The In
diana House Of Representatives yes
terday afternoon passed the Johnson
bill. giving to women citizens Of the
state the privilege Of voting for presi-
dental electors. The vote was 80 to g..
Members voting in the negative
were Charles H. Bidaman and John T.
O'Neil of Terre Haute, both Demo
Gratis, and Andrew H. Sambor Of East
Chicago. a Republican.
Mr.. Sambor opposed the bill. he said
not because he was against suffrage
for women. but because he thought
the bill Disseminated against alien
women who have not completed their
naturalization. The state constitution
permits male aliens to vote after they
have declared their intention Of be-
coming citizens.
The bill will go to the Senate Mon
day.
in advocating the passage of this
bill" said Representative Johnson OF
Gas City, the author, II do not con-
tend that the granting of suffrage will
relieve many of our present political
wrongs nor turn all our jails into
chapels. Further, do not agree that
all women want the ballot. But If only
one woman wanted to vote, and il 1t
did not relieve single wrong, l be-
lieve she should be entitled to the
right to vote"
Mr.. johnson pointed out that both
political parties had Endorsed suffrage
and said he expected little opposition.
No $3.50 Citizenship.
The time for fifty-fifty citizenship
in this country has gone" Representa-
tive Johnson declared, amid general
applause, in referring to the feature
OF the bill which demands full citizen
ship before woman may vote.
This bill has not been presented in
anticipation of action to deprive Of his
vote the alien who has only taken out
his first papers. but we should not go
on record as sanctioning halfway cit
izenship. The women of Indiana are
asking the privilege Of voting. They
should have it. The bill stands on its
merits and should have your support"
Representative Thomas Of Corydon,
inquired II the bill was merely an
other plan to placate the women by
holding out to them an empty compli-
ment.
This thing happened two years ago
and want to know If this is merely a
plan to deceive them again." he asked
For Gods sake, don't let's fool them
for they have won the right to vote"

as before the war only few hundred
thousand people in this country had
ever owned a government bond or
other security, there are now about
twenty million owners of government
securities. In addition to this i'm
mense number of persons who have
learned the nature and value of gov-
eminent securities, there are 10000
war savings societies, which will be
kept going during peace time as gov
eminent saving societies. The basic
purpose of these societies will be to
teach people the value of the govern

members of the government savings
societies will not be the objects of a
preachment to the effect that they
should save money and buy govern

how to spend it, and the government
security will be brought to their at

Now that the conference has got

One day he was running along
Under a carriage
And the horse kicked him
And that was the last of August

Was the first of September"

The favorable trade balance" of
the United States during the war per-
iod exceeded that of the 1925 years
from the adoption of the constitution
to the beginning of the war. A COM
pilation by the National City bank of
New York shows that the excess of
exports over imports during the fifty
one months of the war aggregated
$40, 1000, while that from the
adoption OF the constitution to the be-
ginning of the war was but s9.007, 000.-
600. Prior to the war, our excess of
exports over imports. altho larger
than any other country of the world

Plainly, Franklin was no buffer. His
example is not to blame for those
numerous Americans who are all front

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Could you
give me your opinion of a certain fell
low? I have met him but a few times,
and the first time he was out with me
he acted as if he cared for me. He is
stationed out of town. He wrote me
a few letters and they Were very in
teresting. He said he loved me and
that there isn't anyone who could love
me so much.
This is what puzzles me. He came
home one Saturday and I saw him up
town. I spoke and he answered, but
| did not come and talk to me. The
same evening I met him again. I
spoke again and he answered. but
acted as If he would not know me. 1
had new coat and hat since 1 saw
| him last.
Later I saw him take a girl home.
This girl wasn't dressed very nicely
and I don't think much of her. Sun
day night L saw him with a different
girl. He sat right back of me in a
theater and when he was going out
he looked at me and didn't seem to
think very much of the girl he was
with.
| Cd Do you. think he cares for me
since he wrote such loving letters and
yet when he came home did not come
| to see me?
CD When he writes again should
L ask him why he did not come to
see me?
! CD He has sent me a picture of
himself. I love him SO much that
when look at it I cry and 1 don't
know if 1 am doing right or not. He
wants one of my pictures. Shall
send him one or wait until he apollo
gizes for what he has done?
! MISS CURLY.
Cd The young man is trifler.
If he loved you he would have gone
to see you the first thing upon ar
irving in town. You may be sure that
he has told all the other girls the
very thing he has written you.
G. and - Do not wait for him to
write again. Return his picture at
once-also his letters, and request that
he send yours back. Your reputation
is not safe with such a man.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am young
man and have been going with girl
for about a month. At first I liked
| her very much, but lately she has
| changed. Every night that we are out
she will stay with me until about one
| thirty and she will let me kiss her
whenever I want to. She never takes
me to her home. She always leaves
me at the corner or goes to a friends
| house. She often takes a bunch of
kids with US or girls who work where
| she does.
L asked this girl to marry me just
for fun. She told me she would. !
do not make the money to take care
of any girl. I am going out of town
for good in about a week. How can
l tell this girl 1 was only joking when
! L asked her to marry me without hurt
ing her? I would hate to do that, and
SO please help me out EDDY S.
| You have not been honorable With
the girl. To propose is not a joking
matter. You should have been quick
to see that she believed you and cor
rected her idea that you intended to
| marry her.
If you go away now without saying
anything it will break her heart and
she will wait and wait to hear from
you OF to have you come back Such
thing would be so cruel that it will
be better TO tell her the truth now
Go away with a complete understand
ing. When she knows the worst she
will resign herself to it.

While we are waiting for the facts
to come to the surface regarding the
management of the Y. M. C. A. serv-
ice in France. it may not be inappro-
pirate to remark that the character of
service of which complaint is made
should never have been left to a re-
ligious institution of any kind or de-
nomination. Within reasonable limi-
tations it is well to provide opportuni-
ties for religious organizations to min
lister to the spiritual needs of soldiers.
But that should be the limit of their
functions. Any person who under
takes any other service for the armies
of the United States should do it upon
no other ground than that of Ameri-
can citizenship devoted to the welfare
of the American nation. Every one of
the religious organizations that MAIN
tanned huts where soldiers could con-
gregate during respites from military
duty and where they could find music,
conveniences for writing, etc, did val
liable service. But every one of these
needs should have been supplied by
the government so that every man.

infidel or atheist. could enjoy equal
privileges with every other man with

Uncle Sam could perform a distinct
service to the consumers in this coun-
try, the persons who are complaining
of high prices by releasing for sale a
portion of his vast accumulation of
necessaries of life. Attention has
been called to these huge supplies no
longer needed for war purposes. in
these columns before. If the govern
ment would place them on sale they
might be disposed of gradually with
out seriously disturbing the market
while at the same time supplying the
public at a reduced cost. Why should
