tatives. II the Democrats should cast
10000 votes they would get fifteen Rep
resentatives (Which is more, by the way,
than the Democrats have ever had In a
Kansas Legislature since the admission
OF the State.) If the Populists should
cast 100000 votes they would get seventy
Representatives. The method Of dis
tributing these votes would be difficult
problem, since it is manifest that Rep
resentatives would no longer be elected
In districts but would be elected by the
State at large and then apportioned geo
graphically by some process not yet
discovered, so far as we are aware.
The effect of proportional represen-
tation would be first to unite the Social
lists and every other now neutralized and
ineffective fragment Of voters and In
duce them to put up a ticket, rally to
their support all who agreed with them
and get their proportional representa-
tion. There would be a dozen instead of
two or three political parties. In fact In
such a State as Kansas there might be
twenty parties. It would be impossible
for single party to cast a majority OF
votes. The fact that any party casting,
say, 1000 votes would get seat In the
Legislature would induce every frag-
ment of the people mastering as many
as 1000 votes for a single idea to put
up ticket and go into politics on their
own account.

In a State certainly Populist the Cap

in the present Populist State platform
demanding proportional representa-

have not taken the public into their con-
fidence and explained fully what they
mean by proportional representation,
and they have not got far enough yet in
this reform to determine the basis Of
representation, but the method is easily
understood.
Proportional representation is a pro-
test against absolute majority rule as
we understand 1t in this country. AS
matter Of philosophic fact, Of course,
there is not and never has been and
probably never will be majority rule
anywhere. Delegates are elected who
determine by vote of a majority Of said

must either accept or reject, and small

but there is at hand a means second
only to the common school to educate
the people; one that costs nothing and
promises great results in other ways.
Cnce place the responsibility upon every
voter of deciding by his ballot the wis
dom or unwisdom Of each important
measure, and party prejudice and ex-
tended discussion Of the personality Of
candidates would give place to care
ful study Of the science Of government.
Every home would be school and
every voter would remain a student.
All friends Of education should encour-
age not only the common schools, but all
agencies tending to raise the standard Of
intelligence in the State. To such this
thought is suggested for careful con-
sideration. This years platform Is the
best ever adopted by any party at any
time, not only because 1t is the best
statement of principles, not only be-
cause it fairly and honestly states what
the party will attempt to do in two
years IL given power, but because 1t will
force this campaign upon high plane
and upon educational lines, because it is
definite, specific and positive and ap-
peals to the reason, the intelligence and
the judgment, and not to the passions

of Kansas the majority, or at least a
plurality Of the voters elects a Senator
or Representative. These get together
and majority of those elected to each
house govern that body BY this time
in the process real majority rule has
been totally eclipsed An indication Of
how distinct from majority rule Of the
people majority rule Of Legislature is
may be gained from the fact that in the
popular vote for State officers two years
ago the Populists lacked many thou
sands Of majority; but the Senate was
Populist by more than two-thirds ma
jorlty, corresponding to a popular ma
jority Of 10000 in total vote Of $3.50, 900.
Under the proportional system party
rule in Legislatures would be at an end.
This system allows to every fragment Of
voters representation in the Legis-
latures corresponding and proportional
to its total vote. For instance, II there
is total vote of 100000 and there are
100 seats in the in the Legislature every

Spanish Cruelty.

The cruelty of the Spaniard, or rather
his callOusness, his recklessness of the
lives OF others, and even of his own, is
a medieval and oriental survival, says
Irving Babbitt in The Atlantic, and
then, too, there underlies the Spanish
temperament know not what vein of
primitive Iberian savagery. Nine.
q Aulnoy relates that on certain day
OF the year it was customary for court
gaIlants to run along one Of the main
streets of Madrid, flashing furiously
their bare shoulders, and when one of
these penitents passed the lady of his
choice among the spectators he bespat
tered her with his blood as a special
mark of his favor
lnsensibility to the suffering of ami
mails, though general in Spain, is not
any greater so far as my own observa-
ton goes, than in the other Latin coun-
tries. Possibly medieval religion in so
exalting man above other creatures, in
refusing to recognize his relation to the
rest Of nature, tended to increase this
lack of sympathy with brute creation.
The Spanish peasant belabors his ass for
the same reasons that Malebranche kick
ed his dOg-because he has not learned
to see in it being organized to feel
pain III the same way as himself.

Slow Eating MAY Be Bad.

According to The Journal of Mental
and Nervous Diseases, slow eating is
as bad as fast eating. "The important
point is not that we eat slowly or fast,
but that when we do eat we chew with
energy. Of course where the haste is
due to some mental anxiety this may
injuriously inhibit the secretiOns. Slow
eating hegets a habit of simply num-

bad, but rapid mastication is advan-
tageous. 1t concentrates our energies
on the act i'll question, and hence more
thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover,
energetic chewing stimulates the secre-
ton of saliva in the most favorable
manner. These various points are so
commonly misunderstood, at least by
the laity, that they demand our fire.
