Praises McCain's P. R. t. Articles
TO the Editor et tha Kvertnj PMa Ltdgtr:
Sir I want to congratulate you upon
George Nox McCain's articles setting
forth so plainly to the publlo why we
have to pay flye-ccnt trolley fare, and
tfS in? ",rat unless the citizens of
Philadelphia are content with what tho
r. XL T. Is giving thorn, of a raise In
faro to six cents or more.
It la an outrage tho way thn publlo
Is made to suffer because the p. n T.
was so greedy at first and gobbled up all
the streets and all underlying companies
at an exorbitant rate of interest. The
P. H. T. has an arrangement with tho
city so that there Is no competition.
Now If they can't make any money,
whose fault Is It? Let them bo treated
llko other business concerns. If they
can't make It go, hand It all back to the
city. Then let somo new company be
formed nnd pay tho old underlying com
panies 6 per cent on their Investment,
and tho new company can give better
service than now and only charge throe
cents and make money.

Proportional Representation
To th Editor of tht Evening Pubtio Ltdoer:
Sir Willi you kindly tell me what Is
proportional representation? M J.
" Philadelphia, March 23.
Proportional representation Is a meth
od of electing representatives so that
rach political party Is assured of Its
fair share of the representatives. This
is done by electing the representatives
at large or In districts, each of which
eleotB several. In each silch district the
ballots aro so marked and counted as to
glvo each group its fair share of thd
members elected In the district.
Club Favors Prohibition
To the Alitor at 'the EwnlflO Public J.tiotr
S,t The legislative committee ot uie
New Century Club of Newtown. Bucks
county, Penna. which organization rep.
resents a membership, of over ion
women calls attentjon ta tho following
facts as arguments ..why the elghteentn
ameridment to the constitution of tne
United States and the Volstead act
should be sustained by all law-abiding
cltisens. '
First Because the amendment la le
gally a tmrt of the constitution.
Hecond. Because tho Volstead act
provides for tho enforcement of this
utndidtnont ,
, Third. Becauso prohibition Is on every
hand reducing crime, emptying jails and
almshouses, bringing Joy nnd comfort to
heartbroken womanhood, restoring seit
rcspect and physical, mental and moral
health to manhood, clothing and nour
ishing neglected childhood, producing
prosperity, eliminating pauperism, as to
the much-discussed personal liberty:
once a man had a right to kill his
neighbor on sight : to kidnap negroes for
slaves; to woo his wife by felling tier
with a club ; to sell his child Into slav
ery; but law has abolished this per
sonal liberty, to tho ndvantago of civ
ilization. In fact civilization la merely
another name for the curtailment and
regulation of personal liberty.
In an old Book wo read: "If meat
maketh my brother to offend, I will cat
no meat while tho world stands." Can
not Christian America say: "If drink
maketh my brother to offend and it
does I will drink no alcoholic liquor,
lest It makes my brother to offend 7"

No more headaches from eye strain. No more ragged nerves
at the end of the day's work. No tired lame backs or
stooped shoulders. Instead a satisfied feeling, mental and
physical, throughout your whole office a happy, healthy,
