IEEs WRITING ON THE WALL

A Few days ago The lntelligencer
et forth the desirability OF this ma
pom making some move toward pre-
aredness in defense OF Industrial and
business interests. as well as the ma
onal defense the country seems to
2 so much concerned about. IL then
pointed out the menace confronting
! . on the conclusion of the present
par. The statements then made as
b the vulnerability Of the economic
efenses Of our home markets are cor
|oboraied by a German investigator
|nade to the German consulate in New
York and to the imperial government
I Berlin. His most important con-
iusions are In regard to the definite

We have been so long accus.
toned 10 being represented in
legislative bodies by men elected
from districts OF wards that we
do not realize by what a clumsy
system this is done. II gives no
security that the wishes OF the
people will be represented at ali.
But II We could secure a legisla-
tive body in which each phase OF
political thought could be repre-
sented in proportion to the mum.
Der of those who believe in II, the
selection Of stronger men would
be stimulated. and small parties
as well as large could be heard
in Legislative deliberations.
Two systems OF proportional
representation have been devised
by which these results can be
attained. The first is the List
system which is well adapted to
state legislatures and the lower
house OF Congress. bodies which are
naturally controlled by political
parties. The second is the Hare
system. or single transferable
vote. which discourages the for
nation OF political parties and en-
courages independent voting; II is.
therefore, specially adapted to
municipal governments in which
national and state political issues
have on legitimate place.
The List system has been sue
cessfully used in Belgium, in
Sweden and N a number OF the
cantons and cities OF Switzer-
land. The Hare system has been
used with equal success in Tas-
mania. South Africa and Denmark
and has been Incorporated
Tor Irish parliamentary elections
In the Parliament OF Ireland Act"
recently passed. The List system
is the simpler OF the two. The
Hare system. of transferable vote,
gives the voter more perfect free
dom, but In doing so. makes the
counting more complicated. So
Tar as the voter is concerned
neither system offers any diff
culties.
There are no district OF
ward lines, the election being at
large. Nominations are made Dy
petition. In the List system the
names Of all candidates nomi.
mated by one party or group of
petitioners are considered as one
list. Every voter marks the bal
lot OF the particular list he pre-
fers and selects in that list the
one candidate Of his special pre-
ference. In counting the ballots
the total number Of votes is divId-
ed by the number OF members 10
be elected and the quotient forms
a full constituency OF quota. Each
quota gives the party or group
which supported IL the right 10
select one member OF the legisIa-
tive body. Each list is therefore
entitled 10 as many members as
II has full quota on the nrst
assignment OF seats: and. liter

the force of irresistible beauty.
A handsome lace-bordered veil is
pictured here, draped In mantilla fash.
ion, caught with spray of orange
blossom buds at each side, with very
small cluster of the opened blossoms
among them. So many wells are ar
ranged in cap on the head that this
proves interesting as an exception.
But rich lace should be simply ad'
justed, and the idea suggested by
the mantilla drape might be repeated
in the design of the bridesmaids
gowns or in the costuming of the
pages or the flower girls.
While the bride allows the play OF
her fancy to exploit new ideas In her
wedding procession and leads the i'm
agination of guess TO excursions in 9th
er lands and times. the gown brings
them back to the day and hour by a
very loyal compliance with the rules
governing the regulation wedding at
tire of mere man. But there seems to
be no incongruity that is displeasing
in this.
