A Study In Flqure0

10 the Editor Of the Evening Public Lsdoer:
Sir--Those of us who are interested
in numbers and are more pleased the
larger the numbers are, will do well to
consider the number "a, 421, ,S32, and
beside this place the number ~, 760,.
7O3, which IL even more important than
the larger number.
The larger number represents the
total number Of eligible voters in the
United States, and the smaller one
represents the number Of persons who
voted in the last national election. The
difference between the two, y ,662, 1D,
represents the number Of persons In this
land of democracy who did not take
upon themselves the duty Of making our
government democratic one in the
widest sense of the word.
In so far as any candidate. even
though successful ut tho polls, fails to
represent the majority Of eligible vot-
crs in his community or in tho country,
The blame must fall on those who did
not 90 to the polls.
Tuesday next, less than hundred
hours from the time write these lines,
the citizens of Philadelphia and Penn.
sylvania will have an opportunity to
demonstrate whether they really cherish
the right won for them BY the fathers
cf the Republic. That is as many Of
them rs took the trouble to register ana
thereby show themselves worthy OF the
democracy beQueathrd to them.

Letters TO the Editor
Paradox In Democracy

70 ths Editor OF the EVentn0 Public Led0ers \
Sir--Pr0bably no stranger paradox
exists in this democracy than the fact
TINT those who are nearest to the seat Of
Government are not permitted to vote.
The half million population Of Wash.
ington, d. G.. Of which 81 per cent is
American, claims to pay the highest
per capita tax in the country, but It
has no vote. 1t sees the climax Of a
Government reposing solely in the SUI.
frage Of all the people, but itself 10 dis.
enfranchised, and has no voice as to
It's own burdens and privileges.
Nor does 1t seem possible that the
citizens Of the capital city ever can
acquire what is theirs by all test Of
justice and logic unless help comes to
their cause from outside Washington.
They have no Representatives or Sena.
tors to feel the lash Of the constituents
will. They are absolutely cut OF from
every effective means Of achieving their
legitimate ambition under the existing
system, since recent Congresses at least
have never been of sufficient nobility Of
character to address themselves to q
task which promised them no personal
returns in their local elections.
At one time in the history Of this
nation, "No taxation without repre-.
sentation" was considered an argument
important enough to. die for, If neces..
sary. Inasmuch az the perpetuation Of
the principles established in that splen-
did day is the whole purpose OF American
Government, It seems q selfish uncon.
cern which permits any body of citizen.
ship in this nation to be- deprived Of
that TO which their citizenship prilna.
rily entities them. 10 newcomers 1t must
seem peculiar, II not ridiculous. that
there exists at the seat Of Government
great body Of men and women who
are excluded from the very fundamen.
tails for which the United States stands
80 signally before the world. -
What Washington seems unable to
win for itself the nation should make 1t
an immediate business to win for Its
national capital. Let every American

In the last twelve months 277 per.
sons were killed in Philadelphia in

per cent Of such deaths were the re-.

~ per cent Is divided among trolley
cars, railroads. motorcycles, bicycles
and horse. drawn vehicles"
az. observe, If you please, that 90 per
cent Of these fatalities were due to
automobiles. This, too, in spite Of the
policy of revoklng the licenses Of
drunken and careless drivers, together
with the disposition Of tho courts to
impose Jail sentences instead Of fines.
DRYERS who use. liquor while on the
road should not be permitted to men.
