The benefits of "proportional repre repre fentntlen." the election system used in Cleveland nnd some ether cities, were diseused today by the Bureau of Mu nicipal Research In its weekly bulletin. Hhen you vote, does your vote count?" the bureau nsked. In empbn- izlng the thought running through Its comments. Methods of electing Conn- .cllmen nre of peculiar Interest te Phlln- delphln, It stated, because next year I successors wll be chosen for the entire twenty-one members of Council. I At the municipal election next year, ! the bureau said, the voters want the I unquestioned ability te retain members . whose record nre approved nnd te re I place members who have net been sat i isfactery from the voters' point of view. The bureau centinued: Cites Cleveland System I'ropertionni representation, as Cleveland's election system Is called, is based en the principle that if ftlO.OOO vote for twenty-one councilmen, any body who can show thnt he Is the pref erence of one twenty-first of tlie .tHO, 000 voters Is entitled te n seat In Coun cil. "It Is a further principle of the nd nd vecates of proportional representation that each voter should have his vote count for one candidate nnd only one. If we lived In a pure democracy, each of us would sit in the council chnm ber nnd take part In the policy-determining we want done there. Since we live in n representative democracy it is the duty nnd privilege of ench of us te find a representative worthy, or most nearly worthy, of expressing our point of view. If one of us tries te work things se as te secure two representn- ' I lives, no is leading tlie dice; and If I he Is allowed te have his ballet counted j for ns ninny candidates as there nre 'seats te be filled, then the largest or . ganized group of voters usually will m m immmmMmMMm C5f iIM RROAn STREET AT SUSQUEHANNA AVENUE Forty Different Styles of Fur Coats in our August Sale One of the most hopeful signs of returning prosperity is the increas ing number of well dressed men and women one meets en the streets.

Uncommon Sense By JOHN ISIAKE The Futile Wh me SINCE the world began man and woman nnd nations have lest battles. Seme of them have whined that they didn't have a fair chance. Others have gritted their teeth and determined te win next time A tennis championship was played efT in America. One of the players quit in a rage in the middle of the giune. which was Un Un bpertemanllke. but offered no alibis and made no excuses. The same players met te play the same championship this year. The player who gave way te temper the year before wen. The player who had fermeily de feated her lest. And excuses and ex planations hove filled the papers since that time. ALL that these explanations and excuses have done Is te injure the reputation as a geed sport of the plaer from whom they came. -- Incidentally they have served te show what colossal egotism can sometimes re. Bide in a human being who is engaged in an entirely unneeessarv form of hu- ' man endeavor. ' The world has just been through a war which cost the lives 0f millions of , peoele. ' Europe, shattered anil devastated, is struggling te get en Its feet. Millions of homes mourn the less of their pen hundreds and thousands of homes have been swept from the face of the earth. What the remedy is no man can tell ; though nil intelligent people are M-eking it. And three or four years after the end of tlie war a tennis player tells the whole world that a mutch wus lest be. cans" of conditions that were ns fair te one player as te another and ex pects tlie whole world te listen sympa thetically. SPOBT is healthful te the mind nnd body, and enlists the Interests of the whole world, liur there are these who take it a little tee oerieusly es pecially the futile wbiners, revjrtgh' l!H3, hu f'ultii Ledger Company et uie voters entlrelj without repre sentation. Then the Government is net similar te n democracy at all. but te a monarchy, with the largest organized group of voters ns monarch. Majority rule should apply when council makes a decision : but net in electing the body which makes the decision. "Tlie advocate of proportional repre sentation proposes te get back te the basis of democracy by placing names of candidates en the ballet by petition nnd inviting each voter te marl; them in the order of his preference. These With Queta Win "When the votes are counted, there O is first determined the 'quota.' or I proportion of ballets necessary te elect ! e a candidate. Any candidate with thnt i tl many votes is immediately recognized as elected. If he has mere than the re quired 'quota.' his ballets in excess of the quota nre transferred te the candi dates whom the voters marked ns their second choices. "When all the surpluses nre trans ferred, if by then the full number of successful candidates has net been chosen, n heirinniiiir Is made at the ether etui of the list. The low enndidntes are C dropped, in order, and their ballets transferred, according te tlie spcend I and ether choices marked en them, te) tlie ethers still In the running, until the required number of successful can- didates is determined. "Proportional representation is ad vocated because it Insures voters ngnin-t wating their ballets. If an over whelming number of votes is cast for a popular candidate, no vote N lest, lie cause the ballets net needed te elfct him nre leunted for the second or third or subsequent choices expiesed en them. The element of chance iuvehed in selecting certain ballets, rather than certain ether ballets, for transfer, has been calculated te be something lcss, tlian 1 per cent, nnd It ma be elimi nated entirely. Ner need any one be deterred from voting his honest preference for fear that by se doing lie will be dividing the .streng'li of the op position te a candidate he wishes par ticularly te defeat. He can mark Ills second choice se ids ballet will go te a third candidate whom lie will accept in case the weaker candidate who 1.1 his) preference cannot be elected."
