THE Investigation Of the high cost or living under
Federal auspices has run up against well-nigh
insuperabe obstacle.
The Federal Investigators and that whatever comb-
nations exist for the purpose OF maintaining prices IN
food products and whatever arrangements have been
made FOR holding food supplies in storage for high
prices are not in contraventon OF any Federal statute
and that whenever infractlon of law have taken
place they are against the regulations of the States,
who will have undertake such prosecutions as may
be instituted.
Consequently the Federal investigation is over al
most before began; and the immediate effect will be
to center attention some all OF the many bills
which are now before Congress.
There will also be a considerable stimulus to State
Legislatures most Of which now or soon will be
in session; and it is likely that there will be flood

Thoughtful public have long deplored the grow

DEMANDING A SQUARE DEAL.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The women Of Delaware are de-
manding of the men Of Delaware
square deal and fair treatment when
they ask the Legislature to pass such
laws as will give the men a right to
vote on the question of giving the
women a right to vote at Delaware
elections. IF there is q majority Of
men against the proposition, then
there should be no opposition from
any man who is opposed to women
voting, for they will simply at the
polls vote down the law and thus
keep the women in subjugation politi-
cally But on the other hand. should
there be a majority of the men who
believe it right that women should
have the right to a voice in civic gov
ernment, then it is a crime to pre-
vent the enactment Of laws which
! will give men the chance to vote that
the women Of Delaware shall be hon
ored by an equal chance in the Gov
ernment of Delaware We believe
| that women should have the right to
vote. and we further believe that they
will get this right to vote sooner or
! later in Delaware, either through the
votes of the men of Delaware. or
through the majority action of the
States OF the nation Be fair to the
women of our State, and give the men
a chance to prove their sense Of
honor and Justice We prate about
protecting the honor and sanctity Of
our women, hut refuse to grantNthem
an equal privilege in the manage
ment of our moral and civil affairs.
Sc mid IN m
/ attitude Give the women Of Della
ware a chance, by giving the men a
chance TO vote upon the question. It
Will not down. for it has come to stay
with us until justice is done. Men of
i Delaware now in the Legislature, we
call upon you to act now and grant

bill providing for the coinage OF 2-cent pieces
which he hopes to get action during the Winter
Mr.. Hfcharach calls attention to the fact that
present there coin between the cent and nickel
and a consequence merchants in the habit Of
charging fve cents for an article which would sell
for 2h cents such coins in circulation. This is
particularly true in the West where it is quite
usual to find articles sale at prices between one
and five cents.
Mr.. Bacharach is of the leading Republican
bers OF the Committee on Coinage, Weights and

Here in own State it assuredly would delight the
