plffers WIth Mr. Lawson.
To the Editor OF The Times:

To the Editor OF The Times:
ain at loss TO understand why
Mr.. Lawson persistently cites the
case Of Maynard VS.. Board OF Can.
yassers, 81 Mich, 22S, as the last word
OF the supreme court on the preferen-
tiel ballot. only last night in your
paper he was quoted as saying that
such a ballot is illegal, presumably
again basing mis- opinion on the above
case. IL that is all the authority he
has, It, to my mind, is absolutely
worthless In the first place, the
preferential ballot was not involved.
In the second place. the whole reason
ing or the case is against the position
OF Mr. Lawson. Justice Champlin
continues 10 lay emphasis upon the
importance OF majority rule in popu
lar elections, and finds that the cumu-
lativc ballot, which was the question
involved in that case, was against
such rule. That, in a sense, is easy
TO figure out. and possibly the court
was justified in its conclusion, though
Justice CaLill gave a well-reasoned
dissenting opinion. But In the pref
erential ballot, according to the
Grand Junction plan, we have exactly
the means OF thwarting minority rule
and establishing majority rule. And
every voter Is upon an exact equality
II Is true Justice Champlin condemns
the Hare" plan as impractical. Pos
sibly the learned judge had not given
that question much consideration, as
IL VAS not involved. Neither in the
Hare" plan involved here. The vot.
ing under the Grand Junction plan is
simple, and together with the short
ballot, would be much easier than the
present complicated system for the
vote: f. S. GARRISON.

A Song of Genuine Joy

On the topmost branch OF a sway
ing elm a pretty, wild bird was pour
ing forth wonderful song this morn.
ing
Say, you ought TO have heard IL!
Patti at her best had nothing on
those bird notes for purity OF tone,
and the beauty OF the bird song was
that il was entirely spontaneous.
There we're no So admission fees and
no press agents.
That bird must have had its lot OF
bird troubles--fear OF hawks and
owls and foberts: maybe also fear or
a scarcity of bugs and worms.
But you'd never suspect IL from its
song That was the wholest souled
outpouring OF bird JOY we ever list
ened to. IL seemed as IL its little
throat would split with melody
Perhaps there's pointer for us in
this little incident.
Perhaps We humans nurse our
troubles too much and don't give the
music within us'a fair chance.
How about II, fellows? Ready to
