NOT TO Give WOMEN Vote

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, Jan. 21.-The letter
sent by the Women's Committee of
Delaware Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage to members of the Legislature
yesterday reads as follows:
"As a representative body of wo-
men. we wish to state:
"That we believe the further extern
sion Of the Suffrage TO all the women

sired by the majority of them
"That it would involve greater ex-
pense at elections with no cores

State
THAT the interests of the family
and home are menaced by any fur
ther political activities and
"That the average woman in Della
ware is at present unprepared for
the vote.

Gray has written me very fully his
opinions on this subject, as you will
see per enclosed copy of his letter,
and that many other prominent men

ed to the Suffrage Amendment now

ate with our statesmen in opposing
the amendment granting the equal
franchise to the women of Delaware.

Only "Mercantile" Partnerships.

The Democrat used the wrong term
last week in an article relative to the re-
cording of partnerships when it said that
the new law required such recording OF
Cuisines partnerships. The wording
of the law is mercantile partnership"
and there is considerable discussion as
to Just what the term means. Some
lawyers say that it does not apply to a
partnership engaged in a manufacturing
business, but only to those who propose
to engage in the business of buying and
selling merchandise, though where the
line is to be drawn between the two
kinds of business may not always be ap-
parent.
Having seen some instances where
lawsuits grew out of the question wheth-
or two men we're partners in a certain
line Of business, the Democrat supposed
that this law was designed to establish
a method by which people might have
some opportunity of knowing with
whom they were dealing, for the protec-
ton perhaps OF the parties on both sides
OF the transaction. For that reason
there was a little carelessness in not
noting the exact wording of the statute
when writing the article referred to.
It is likely that the courts will event
ually be required to decide just what a
mercantile partnership" is.
