women TO fight
FOR RATIFICATION
Will Go on With Campaign
for Extra Session of
Legislature
VICTORY WILL ADD
100000 VOTERS

In spite OF Governor Townsend
declination to call special session o
the Legislature ihe Woman's Party
OF Delaware. headed by Mrs. Florenc'
Bayard Hilles, its president, Will con
tlnue It's nght for an extra session OF
the legislature TO ratify the Fedora
suffrage amendment Their objective
Is votes for women IN the coming Pres
ldential election next November.
Twenty-seVen Slales already have
ratified the amendment ami only nine
more are necessary. or these latter
the governors OF four have called spe-
clal legislative sessions 10 ratify. While
The women are ssnguinc, nevertheless
they are not taking any chances. All
told 100000 women will be given
the right OF ballot IN The United states
upon final adoption Of the amendment.
These facts were emphasized In a
speech by Mrs Hillos at The luncheon
OF The Womans Party Yesterday after
noon In the Hotel DUPONT following
the brief announcement Of the Gov
ernor. Mrs. Hillcs asserted that the wo-
men or Delaware wanted something
more substantial from the Governor
than expression Of friendliness 10 the
cause. She ridlculed the idea that the
subject Of expense was not worthy OF
serious consideration, declaring the
amendment could be put through In
two days with total cost Of $1,000
Mentioning the school code as one OF
the measures hlnied at by the gov
ornor as blocking a special session.
Mrs. Hiles averred that 70 was up 20
the governor and the Republican mem
bers OF the Legislature TO get to-
gether" and agree 10 defer" interfer-
ence with this or any other bin until
the next regular session
1T is perfectly outside the question:
went on Mrs. Hilles, ito ask women 90
pay because Of these conditions for
they viii have 70 pay for this and
every other session In the final reckon
ing. as they have always been com
PEELED 10 pay In the past. Other gov
ernors have found d-niculiies and have
surmounied them. But the members
of the Legislature are not res plnsble
TO the women because they are no
representatives OF the women. We
must do everything TO make the gov
ernor see that he must put suffrage
Hrst."

gresham Caleb r. Layton, Of Delaware,
in which he said

GERMAN GRAVEL

With the memory of Shakespcarcs vc-digEer in mind, ono can not but long for his inspired pen on reading the news that grave digscrs in Berlin have been on strike for three wecks causing great inconvenience. bard's humor which dared to take the skull dug from the ground as their inspiration. One is confident that Shakespeare would have seized upon the fact as tho basis ior. rather than an incident to, d great tragedy. To him there would have been some thing greater than humor in the sight said to be common in Ger many, of men wearing frock coats and silk hats, and solemnly dressed women even, shovcIng in cemeteries

Not that the scene itself is especially awful; not that the condition is tn" direct result of the war. but rather that the imagined sight there pictured, would inspire realization. of a great fall.

 Poland has more grounds to fear the results of accepting an armistice than had the Allies in the Great war, not because of any great CT inclination 10 treachery by the Reds than was Germanys, but because of the greater realization, possessed by our former foe, of the dangers which would re- suit from it.

TUI, STOCK DECISION.

The satisfactory feature of the United States Supreme Court decision declaring unconstitutional provisions of the income tax act of 1916 taxing as income stock dividends declared by corporations out of earnings and profits accruing subsequent 10 March [, 1913, is that such decision goes to the essence of things. The vital phrase of Justice Pitney's nnt- jority opinion declares that such div identS are, in fact, not dividends at all but, rather, the opposite. A child can understand the reasoning which, expressed in the sim plest words, would be: No part of what the com- pany has is taken away by declaring 2 stock dividends. Nothing is distri- butcd except bits of paper which show the increase in value Of that which the stockholders own, namely, their interest in the company'S capital. This increase in value shown by the bits of paper has resulted from profits the company has piled up and used in it's business so that they cannot be distributed in cash. The bits of company's surplus, which might have been distributed, and put with it's capital, which cannot be.
 1t is hsurd for the layman to say that no other decision could have been made. in view of the fact that the court was divided on the matter. Tho best legal minds have their peculiar ites: some incline more, some less, toward techncality in reasoning. It is this variance in habit of thought which results in divided courts. The developed his ability to follow legal reasoning, the greater would be his doubt about any decision at all after hearing learned arguments on both sides of almost any question.
 CNnics and skcptics to the contrar:' notWithstanding the last resort of the honestly pcrplcNcd jurist is the broa q question, put to himself "What would be the fair, common sense view of this matter for which I can find no exact legal precedent ?''
