1t is often said that the liquida-
tion in investment securities has
gone too far-that standard, sea-
soned bonds are selling on a basis
out of all proportion to actual val
ues. That may be true, but the
mere fact that good bonds can be
bought to yield unusually large re-
turns by no means necessarily indi
Gates that prices have fallen much
more than is warranted by invest
ment conditions. In July, 1914, the
average net yield Of ten high grade
railroad bonds was, roughly, 4.20
per cent. To-day the average net
yield Of the same bonds is slightly
under S per cent. But meanwhile
Dun's Index Number of commodity
prices, has advanced from 120 to
225. In other words, while the pur-
chasing power of money has declined
nearly 80 per cent in the period, the
yield on these bonds has increased
only 20 per cent, so that the higher
yield will command much smaller
quantity of goods than could have
been purchased with the lower yield
before the war. What is true of
these bonds is true also in greater
or less degree Of nearly all bonds.

If the experience Of the Lacka-
wanna Steel Company in the first
half of the current year is repre-
sentative of the general trend of af-
tairs in the steel trade--and it prob
ably is-there is much that is re-
assuring, from the stock market
viewpoint, in the report issued yes
terday. 1t is true that net earnings
for the period were somewhat small
er than those for the correspond
ing months of the preceding year,
but that is not surprising, for dur
ing the first half of 1917 producers
were not affected by Federal con-
troll and deliveries went chiefly to
private consumers, who paid fan
tastic prices; whereas during the
period covered by the report nearly
all, if not all, deliveries must have
been made at the prices fixed by the
government. But in spite Of this
reduction and the creation of re-
serves for taxes based upon the as
sumption--an assumption certain to
be realized-that the impost on war
profits is to be heavily increased.
there remained an estimated profit
for the six months of $5,059, ,291,
which was equivalent to $14.41
share on the company's stock, or at
the rate of about 20 per cent for
the year. This is substantially smaller
than the earnings in 1917, when the
first six months showed a balance Of
"a per cent and the full year 45 per
cent, but the figures nevertheless
strongly suggest that the steel COM
panies at least will continue to pros
per in spite Of radical increases in
taxation and rigid control of prices
and output. Even though it is pos
sible that the reserves for taxes may
prove inadequate, it is apparent that
they could be substantially increased
and still leave a comfortable margin
of profit.

Over in Europe they have
been fighting for ages for the
right to vote in the selection of
their rulers and in making the
laws by which they are gov
erned. Here in enlightened and
free America we witness the re-
markable spectacle of vigorous
campaign being waged by the
public-spirited citizens of the
state directed to the awakening
of the voters to the fact that
they they are too Indifferent to
the possession Of this freeman's
privilege, and that it is neces-
sary to comply with the mere
formality Of paying a cheap poll
tax and registering as a voter in
order to enjoy the privilege for
which millions have willingly
shed their blood to obtain for
them. It not only is a privilege.
but a duty that each Individual
owes to his country and to his
family to exercise the right of
the ballot. Not only is it a duty
to see that honest and capable Of
ficials are chosen to office. but it
is the duty of the voter. to help
IN the passage of proper laws
and to likewise see that improper
and vicious laws do not get on

nent depends upon the voter.

stand your chivarous idea ss regards the
vote as reward for war work what
about those of us who have worked m
tirinely on every patriotic drive, in the
Red Cross and IN hospitals, whose sons
have fought for liberty IN France, and
who are unaltcrably opposed to the
ballot for women?
You know only too we'll that were the
question of votes for women put 10 a
vote of the people, it would never pass.
~ 10 80,
TO voice the will Of the people Of Delaware
by voting for the Susan r. Anthony
amendment which amendment is a
direct stab at democracy. nasTnuch as
IL forces measure favored nv some few
states upon other states who are unwill-
ing, and is an absolute attack upon The
right Of individual states to act for them
selves
The ratification Of this amendment
would mean reopening the question even
in the states where suffrage maintains
and if has been computed that the cam
paign in each state would cost at the
minimum 81 600
We Americans pride ourselves that we
live IN a iree country--that orr laws
protect poor and rich, men, women and
children alike.
This is case when the wishes of the
people and the people alone should be
heard
We women of Delaware who are op-
posed to suffrage feel that We have 4
right TO have o,r ideals maintained to
keep woman At her best in The home III
industry, in charities. She cant per-
form all her own duties successfully and
those Of the men as well. and that as
the interests Qf rapn and women arc
identical it is a useless duplication to
ask women 20 undertake the political as
we'll as the social work Of the world
