WHY THE SPECIAL FAvORl

In n recent issue OF The Budget il
was stated that the director of the
Federal Budget at Washington had
succeeded in securing substantial re-
auctions of hotel rates in a number
Of cities for Federal government en-
ployes. upon proper Identification. The
reductions. II is said, vary from IS TO
25 per cent on room rates.
This interesting information opens
the way to pertinent comment. In the
first place, why should Federal en-
ployes be given such important con-
sideration. In the second place, if
hotels can afford 10 accommodate gov
eminent employees at a reduction of
IS to % per cent in current rates, why
should they not extend this reduction
to other customers?
Hotel charges. like all others, have
mounted rapidly in the recent strenu-
Gus times, and are slow in coming
down. But whatever they may be
hey should be applied fairly anC
equally. There is no reason why &
man should be favored with a reduce,
rate simply because he is an employ
of the Federal government. The gov
eminent Is far better able 20 pay full
rates for its employees than the aver
age citizen.
The hotel men should amend this re
duction 10 Federal employees by max
ing IT applicable 10 all customers.

Small comfort in this consideration
for the heavily taxed consumers OF

whether the oppressive agency is G

BASIC CONDITIONS IMPROVING.

II is noteworthy that fewer invest
ments are being made in tax eXempts,
and that more money is going into en-
terprise. The sales OF public bonds in
October were 500 ,5bs. against
s125.12G,375 last year. How sharp
tho change IL appears from the fact
that for the year TO Nov /. there was
an increase of 100000. 900. On the
other hand 756 profit-seeking enter
prises were started in October. with
aggregate capital Of 1851 .577 ago. The
growth appears from comparison with
63i companies started in the same
month OF last year. with capital Of
| 5000 .394 900.
Looking into the details. il appears
that there was in October n decrease
in the capital going into railways OF
about 100000. and an increase Of
industrial capital issues of $7S.4 400 900
For the year TO date there was an In
crease Of S44.500.000 In railway CAPT

CULINARY USE OF LIQUORS.

In the course of one Of the recent
attacks on the Volstead law. a Fed
eral judge in Chicago was asked to
make a ruling that would allow the
use of strong liquors in mince pies
How court could lawfully make such
a distinction it is not easy to conceive.
but there are thousands Of good citi-
zens, not in any manner favorable TO
the general use OF intoxicating liquors,
who would rejoice not only to have
the fine old favoring for mince pies
restored, but the way. opened to the
| use of other liquors as favorings for
various choice productions OF the Gull
nary art.
There is one kind of wine formerly
used 10 a great extent in culinary OPP
erations which in the opinion of many
persons should not be considered ar
intoxicating liquor. And that is
sherry wine. 1t is a favorite accom-.
paniment OF the savory terrapin, o.
snapper soup and stewed snapper, ant
in former days was found by many
a congenial addition to ordinary vege
table soup. The lack of sherry win,

WOMAN'S NEW VICTORY.

The battle between the dressmakers
and the American woman is over, so
we are told. The dresSmakers won the
first round, and Paris did so enforce
it's will upon the American woman,
long unaccustomed to revolt, that the
fashionable length of the skirt from
the ground this fall has been four and
one-half inches. Next spring it vii! be
nine inches, ION the average"
The reason is not that the DULLES Of
fashion are changeable in mind and
disposition. If they could, they would
keep the skirt at four and a half
inches, or maybe add a train TO IL.
But the American buyers have been
ordering short skirts for the spring
sales and refusing TO take anything
else, and what is Paris TO do about IL?
Refuse the orders? Can one imagine a
Paris dressmaker saying, Take back
your gold" or Rags are royal raj
ment for me when worn for virtues
sake? Non, a thousand times non!
The question how the buyers came
to lay down the law so boldly to the
uncrowned kings and queens over
there rs easy of solution. Doubtless
the buyers would care little whether
| skirts were long or short. They re-
sponded to the push administered by
the everyday American woman, who
has worn the street -sweercr style
just as long as she Is going to. has
worn II with disgust and has con
veyed her personal urge TO the buyer
The world is growing freer. Surely

SOCIALIST ORGAN sUsPENDs.

Announcement Ia made Of the sus-
pension of the Appeal to Reason, an
organ Of the Socialist party that had
been published for about twenty years
int the little town of dirard, Kansas.
ment was both vigorous and radical.
1t assailed the ''plutes," as it desig-
mated all capitalists. setting them
down as plutocrats, and argued for
the supremacy OF accepted Socialist
principles. It secured large circu-
lation all over the country, at one
time having about a thousand reg
ular subscribers here In Delaware.
Agents in all sections actively pro-
NOTED it's interests.
The decline and disappearance Of
such newspaper organ, therefore, is
| somewhat significant. It means a de-
cline of the Socialist party. For awhile
this revolutionary political organiza-
ton seemed to be fiourishing in n man.
ner that threatened to assume serious
proportions. II even elected a few
members to Congress, one of whom,
Victor Berger of Wisconsin, was re-
fused his seat in the House, on the
grounds of disloyalty, and suisse
quently was convicted of a charge OF
this character and sent TO prison. But
despite this acknowledgment his con-
stituents reelected him.
The Socialist party flourished ir
Delaware for quite a while. with It's
ticket regularly APPEARING on the Of.
fetal ballot at the election, although
It never reached the dignity Of a thou
sand votes IN the polling. This year
however. II did not enter the politica
field as n distinct organization. nj
though the Forward party very ma
terially took It's place. This show
that Socialism is falling of in Della
ware, as elsewhere.
