Proportional representation ID be-
coming a rather live question in this
country. The more the people inves-
tigate the idea the more favorable II
appears. What can be more just thar
the proposition that each party be rep
resented in congress or elsewhere ac-
cording TO its voting strength. The
present congress, for instance, is over.
whelmingly Republican. Yet on the
popular vote the Democrats polled
within half a million as many votes al
the Republicans. Therefore to proper
ly represent the wishes Of the people
congress should be nearly a tie. The
Populists, Silver Republicans. Prohi-
bitionists, Nationalist and woman
suffragists would also have represen-
tation according to their proportion oil
the vote cast. Big majorities are al
ways dangerous to political parties
and therefore double danger
GUS to the welfare Of the
whole people. Every congress thai
has had a big party majority has mads
q bad record. Every congress that
has had small majority has done
well Proportional representation II
bound to become very live question
and that in the very near future.

Judge Pryor of New York decides
that there is such a thing as verbal
outrage. and that 1t need not neces-
sarily be attended with physical force.
and accordingly grants woman's pc
tition for separation frem her too
verbal husband. With this precedent
established there are likely to be pc
titions from the other half of the do
mestic establishment, for the ability
for abusive verhality is more largely
developed on the part OF the weaker
than the other sex.
