Political Economy Club Meets Tho regular meeting of tho Po litical Economy club occurred Inst Wednesday. A very able address was delivered by Prof. Caldwell on "Proportionate Representation in Government." The professor briefly discussed tho ancient and modern methods of voting, tho growth of tho ballot system, and laws passed for purifying elections. Tho evils or tho existing "major- i. i vero uii'ii luiniuu oui nd 1 lusirated by diagrams in a no "TnnTvniander lro a surprise to many. Prof. Caldwoll believes that a true rep resentative government should rep resent tho views of all the people and not of the majority. The mi norities as well as the majorities should bo represented. He proved conclusively that our present system of representation did not represent the people accu rately, that a great number of vo ters aro cither misrepresented or not represented at all. He then advocated the proportionate repre sentative system. By this system in electing, say congressmen, all districts aro abolished and tho con gressmen elected at large. Each party may nominate as many can didates as there are congressmen to bo elected. Every voter then votes for the required number. Ho not only gives his iirst choice but also his second and third choice, so that if his candidate is not elected his second and third choice may not bo thrown away but will go to some other candidate. Tho professor docs not claim that this system is faultless but he thinks it is just and practical and much better than the present method. Therefore it should be given a fair trial.

Thoir Wadding Trip. Mercedes McQuinnte was the beautiful daughter of a Weslyan merchant prince. Patrique Donald was a student of the great university in that sub urb. Mercedes was the belle of the village. She had beauty. She had riches. What more could be desired. Patrique was the pride of his parents, lie, too, was hand some, light hearted and blithsome. His parents, on the contrary, were poor. lie had never known a sick day in his life until he met Mercedes. I le was in love. So was Mercedes. It was lo e at lirst sight, A year passed. As befonxstated, Mercedes and Patrique were in love. At this juncture in our story her father discovered their love, lie immediately threatened to dis own his daughter unless she would give up Patrique. Rut she re fused. She had the blood of old Irish kings her in veins. Give up Patrique. Never! ii It was moonlight on tho banks of Salt Creek. Ever and anon a fleecy cloud blew across the face ot the moon, standing on a urmgry 1 HI a 1 j 1 il 1 ceues. one lappeii mo uoor im patiently at times with her foot, it j'as rather cold. Suddenly there appeared down the road a solitary traveler coming toward the bridge. 1 1 wae Patrique. The lovers ilew to each others arms and wept for joy. Rut Mercedes recollected some thing and drew back. "Patrique," sho said, "1 cannot marry you to-morrow!" "Why not?" gasped Patrique. "Patrique, 1 know how poor you are, but that makes no dill'erence to me. 1 could live in a sod-house with you and bo happy!" "Rut what then can hinder our mar- riage." "Patrique, it is this. 1 can not bear tho idea of marrying and hav ing no wedding trip; and unless you can find some way of taking a wedding trip I can not be your wife." The blow was a fearful one. What should he do? Ho had no money, no way of raising any. lie was in despair. "Oh, Mercedes!" ho cried, "take back your request! 1 cannot grant it. Unless you do I will throw myself over this railing into the raging torrent beneath! Rut Mercedes was firm and as there was a foot of ico on tho stream Pat rique remained on tho bridge. Suddenly a thought Hashed through his brain. "Mercedes!" ho cried, "lend me twenty cents!" "Certainly," she said, "Rut what good will that do." "Mercedes, tomorrow we Avill take tho street car from Wosleyan. Wo will be transferred to Western Normal. Wo will return and be transferred to Wosleyan again, all for twenty cents. That will be our wedding trip!" "Patrique," she exclaimed in tones of joy, "I will bo yours to morrow!" And there on the bridge enfolded in each others embrace, thoy stood. And faintly through tho midnight air came tho sound of a swoot bell. It was tho last car leaving University Place. "Darling," ho said softly, "those aro our wedding bolls." And who smiled sweetly. The end. L. II. It. An Improsslon. Algernon LVottyfacoaud Eleanor LillyToeks had quarrelled. It was over nothing too, as lover quarrels generally are. Fleanor bad paid a little too much attention to a new student and Algernon said some thing about it. that was to say the least, impertinent, and of course F.lcanor resented. And after all their vows and tender messages to one another, thoy had begun to pass each other by with a cold stare. Eleanor had sent back the pretty little turquoise ring she had worn for a year, and she cried a little when she took il oil' too and I am not sure but that there was a suspicion of a mist in Algernon's eyes when he received it back. ' Rut they had both sworn that they never would make up again, altliough their hearts were both sore and bleedinir. Kadi one had onlided in the nearest and dearest friend, and it was a settled fact that henceforth they were to be as nothing to one another. Alas, for human plans! Fate had something to do with this love quarrel, and this .how it happened. On Christmas day the llayden Art Kxhibit opened lip, in the Armory. Now these two silly lovers wore both ve.y fond of art. So on Wednesday morning bright and early they' both wended their way from different directions to the art gallery. Algernon had no idea that Eleanor would be there, and Eleanor was totally ignorant that Algernon was in the city. They both were soon interested in the pictures and were lost to all their surroundings. They unconsciously walked nearer to each other. Suddenly Algernon stooped down to see tho number of a pic ture that was hanging quite low, when his head came in contact with another head that had bent down for the same purpose. Algernon started back and began to rub his head when ho saw that tho owner of the other head was none other than his former sweetheart El eanor. Thoy stared at each other a moment, frowned a little, and j)on )0ti, burst into a hearty laiurh. ley irrsuspea iifffiis 'a ro&ouiK.msr kiss told that ther quarrel was at an end. An an critic who was standing near j.nd had seen the whole proceeding, remarked "How impressionistic!" William Ukkd Dunkoy. Miss .Jones has secured several copies of the "Chap Rook" for December.
