One thing that makes America the
greatest country in the world is the
fact that every man can vote. We be-
lieve it would be still better II every
woman could vote also; but anyhow /,
is universal suffrage that makes Amer
lea great. Also it was universal suf-
frage that enabled France to make
splendid fight against Germany. And
If Germany had had universal suffrage
before the war as she has now, there
would have been no war.

1t looked yesterday as IL the general
assembly might adjourn until July on
account of the influenza. The senate
wanted to adjourn and voted to do so,
% to 13. The house, however, did not
appear so certain that this was the
best thing to do. 1t was argued that
the appropriation and supply bills, es,
pecially needed to be looked after, and
there were those who thought that all
necessary work of the general assem-
bly, could be completed in two or three
weeks. DR.. James A. Hayne, OF the
state board of health, advised ad-
iournment.

Prices Stay Up
In Other Countries

Turning to the after-war tendency
of price movement in neutral coun-
tries, the Berlin newspaper pub
fishes the accounts Of its correspond
ents in Rotterdam and Copenhagen.
According to the testimony of the
Rotterdam report, not only did the
signing of peace fail to produce a
general fall Of prices in Holland, but
in many instances it actually caused
a rise. This was especially so in the
case Of vegetables and fruits, owing
to the increased exportto Germany.
In regard to other articles the trend
was generally downward and the
New-York tribune., 1919-09-07

A summary Of the rise Of living
costs in Allied countries, as com
piled by the Statistical Society Of
Berne, was printed showing that
the general level Of prices has ad-
vanced since July, 1911
In Italy. 4Sl per cent.
In France, 36o per cent.
In England, 24O per cent.
In Canada, 215 per cent.
In the United States, 209 per cent.
The report adds that in the first
two years Of the war the rise was
comparatively small Tin France lss
per cent, in Italy 210 per cent?. But
the submarine warfare soon caused
a skyward move Of all prices. In
England the rise of prices advanced
from 100 per cent in June, 1916, to
220 per cent in June, 1917.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-07
Cost of Living Favors the Germans

stufrs are concerned. Thus non-ra-
toned butter cost IN Copenhagen
about July 10 something like lO.4O
marks $500 per pound, whereas IN
Berlin smucgled butter was bought
AZ the rate of 20 marks pound 80
pre-war cxchange). The prices Of
textiles, clothing and shoes are still
high above the pre-war level IN
Denmark.
In Germany the fall Of prices in
the last few months has been, in
some instances, remarkable. In May
linen goods in colored patterns cost
in Berlin about 50 a yard; in July
it was about Sl.20. On July > a
pound of coffee was s.; the same on
July 9 cost only S3.25.
In Eisenach the price Of American
lard fell in few days from 1923 to
1926 q pound; Of ham and bacon,
from $50 to $3.50 and 1913.
As late as May it was almost I'M
possible to buy leather shoes at any
price, even though one possessed shoe
tickets issued by the government. In
the beginning Of July, the "Nos-
sische-Zeitung" say shoes were dis
PLAYED in abundance in the store
