The united mine workers as-
sembled at Indianopolis, adopted
resolutions denouncing federal
courts and asked the miners to
unitedly use their influence in
elections. An initiative and re-
ferendum resolution was tabled
and a resolution was carried ad-
vising all members of all organiza-
tions affiliating with the American
Federation of Labor to withdraw
from the Knights of Labor because
said organization had furnished
working men in coal mines to take
Club" uiet last night and, as hero-
tofore announced, discussed “The
way of applying ths principle of
Proportional Representation in the
selection of public officials.”
There is one particular member
of this club who is always cheerful
and always hopeful and in every
straight and stress of affairs always
has a good word of counsel. This
peculiarity of always “coming out
strong” has gained for this mem*
ber„Alliancer by name,the appella-
tion of “Old Something Better.”
When stakes have to be strength-
ened and cords lengthened our
brother 0. S. B. is always called
upon by the club to lead in the
work. So as soon as the subject
was announced f?r discussion,
came cries from all over the house
for “Old Something Better,” “Old
Sunshine,” “Old Go-Forward,”
“Old Get There,” and other kind-
ly names that Brother Aliiancer is
called by. Brother Aliiancer arose
and said;

in actual practice. We will first
show how it can be, by law, ap-

can consider its application in se-

We give an outline of six sections,
which, if congress would adopt, we
would have at once a complete
system of selecting congressmen.

Congress woke up this week,
and got down to business in both
branches, and lively speeches were
made in both House and Senate.
Senators Wolcott and Vest, both
of whom are good talkers, made
speeches for and against the ad-
ministration's Philippine policy,
and the senate showed once more,
by a two-third vote against Sena-
tor Pettigrew’s amendment to the
Hoar resolution of general inquiry,
which was afterwards adopted
without a division, calling for the
instructions given bv the presi-
dent to the peace commissioners,

the constitution. Such a law as
the following would accomplish all
that can be desired in applying
Proportional Representation to
election of congressmen:
Section 1. Members of congress
in each state shall be voted for at
large.
Section 2. Any body or party of
voters in any state may, in con-
vention or by petition or other-
wise, nominate any number of can-
didates not to exceed the number
of members of congress to which
such state is entitled, and cause
the names of such party nominees
to be printed on a ballot.
Section 3. Every voter shall be
entitled to as many votes as there
are members to be elected. And
if the state is entitled to two or
more members, each voter may at
hie own option cast one vote each
for as many members as the state
is entitled, or he may cumulate
his votes and cast them all for one
candidate or more. A state which
is entitled to twelve members
would entitle each voter to twelve
votes, which twelve votes the voter
can cast for one man, or six votes
each for two candidates, or four
votes each for three candidates, etc.
Section 4. That the sum of all
the votes cast for all candidates in
any state shall be divided by the
number of members to which such
state is entitled to in congress and
the quotient to the nearest unit
shall be known as “The Unit of
Representation ”

votes cast for al.l the candidates of
each body of voters nominating
shall be severally

would give six members and 297,-

der is larger than for other party
candidates, then one member
more. The populists would get
1,810,000 divided by 550,385, or
three units ormembers with re-
mainder of 158,845. The republi-
cans would get 1,160,000 divided
by 550,385, or two members and a
remainder of 59,230. The prohi-

At the conclusion of this dem-
onstration the question was asked
by Old Something Better, “What
advantage has this system over the
one sided party rule system?” The
following is a sample of answers
made:
By Thomas Jefferson Jones,
democrat: “In connection with
direct legislation this would be the
only Jeffersonian democracy that I
have ever heard of.”
Abe Lincoln Brown, republican,
said: “It certainly would be the
nearest approach of Lincoln’s idea
of a government ‘by the people’
possible. At least would be much
nearer such government than the
one sided jug handle party rule is,
as all the parts of a thiDg are more
of such thing than any one of the
parts can be.”
Billy Middle-roader, populist,
said: “I now see that Proportional
Representation is the only middle
of the road that leads nearer than
any other road to a government of,
by and for the people. Party rule
is a government of, by and for a
part of the people, while Direct
Legislation and its first degree,
Proportional Representation, is in
all things a government of, by and
for all the people.”
Mrs. W. C. T. U., prohibi-
tionist, said: “This is the only
way that it is ever possitle for my
part of the people ever to have one
of our leaders as a spokesman in
the law making councils of govern-
ment and I, along with our sainted
Frances Willard, can say ‘my
very soul longs for the day of
Direct Legislation and it accom-
painment, Proportional Represen-
tation. ’ *’
Prof. Ben Franklin, the pro-
fessor of “Applied Political Com-
mon Sense” in the neighborhood
high school, said: “In my histor-
ical researches 1 find that such
great scholars and statesmen as tbs
following have not only strongly
favored, but have writtep and
spoken outright in favor of the
application of Proportional Repre-
sentation in the selection of all

ances for scientific adjustment of glasses to the eye. There is no Op-
tician in the United States who enjoys the confidence of the people
more than Mr. Hawkes. His name is a familiar word throughout a
section of country inh^bi^ed by over twenty-five millions of people.
Mr. Hawkes has probably adjusted glasses to the eyes of more people
of national aod international fame than any other optician living. This
firm was established in 1870.

days as be has other engagments for later dates.
CAUTION.—I would caution the public against buying spectacles
from peddlers, going from house to house with a lot of spectacles, rep-
resenting them to be Hawkes’ or selling the same grade of goods.
Hawkes’ spectacles are NEVER peddled. Many of the infenoY glasses
that flood the country are positively injurious to the eye.
