IF A CANDIDATE DIES The question is sometimes asked as to what would happen if a candidate for President should die between the time of his nomination and election day. The an- | swer is that the national committee of the candidate’s party is lauthorized to fill the vacancy. Or, it may call a national con- vention for that purpose. In case of the death of a candidate : for vice-president the same _ procedure would be followed. This has actually hap- pened once in our history. It was in 1912, when Vice-President James S. Sherman was a candidate for re- election with President Taft. Sherman died or. October 30, only a few days before the election, and the Republican national | committee designated Nicholas Murray Butler to fill the vacancy. Taft and But- ler carried only two states—Vermont and | Utah—on account of the split in the party caused by the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt on the “Bull Moose” ticket. If a President-elect should die before inauguration day, the Vice-Pesident-elect would become President. There is no con- stitutional or statutory provision for desig- nating a President if both the President- elect and Vice-President-elect should die before inauguration day. | Strictly.speaking a President is not elected until the-electors nave cast their] ballots, arid, electors are not legally bound } to vote forthe choice of their respective states, but theysare morally bound to do 0. “No elector has ever failed to fulfill that obligation. INFANT MORTALITY In the long list of accomplishments to the credit of modern medical science per- haps none has a greater significance than the success attained in the reduction of childhood deaths. Queen Anne of England, born in 1664, bore 17 children, only one of whom lived more than a year, and he died at the age of 11. Now large families of cnildren often mature—without a death. Through medical education and the | treatment of early defects the child’s chance of reaching maturity has been greatly increased, especially during the last half century. The lengthened aver- | vails is largely due to reduction of mor- tality among infants, In addition to regularly employed physicians and nurses by public health | units, thousands of volunteer workers are cooperating in the noble task of saving! babies’ lives. i For their effective efforts in this and other directions looking to the preserva- tion of human life the medical profession and those cooperating are entitled to the WINTER IN SOUTH AMERICA If it is any pleasure to the reader we call attention to the fact that South Am- comparatively mild heat wave which is, by. all reports, a real | heat wave. | Maybe the time will come when those take off in our flying ships and go to South America for our winters and our South The idea is not as fastastic as it may | sound.

In a con- trolled agricul- ture the neces- sary adjust- ments have to be made by an overhead au- thority — the AAA, as it is called in this country The overhead au- thority must determine the changing requirements for the various com- modities to be controlled. must plan their production, must fix quotas for millions of individual producers scat- tered throughout the nation, and must ion and Public Utilities, ; Stanford University high-cost producers. But ‘the Govern- ment can not well discriminate be- tween farmers on the basis of its esti- mate of their efficiency; it must treat the producers of a given crop sub- stantially alike. Allmust reduce their output or acreage by a certain per- centage, and as a result past produc- tion gives the farmer certain “vested rights.” The curtailment of output, com- bined with the encouragement of in- efficient producers operating on poor land, naturally raises the prices of agricultural products, and this is not only a burden to consumers, but leads to the loss of foreign markets. The scheme of control is also un- sound because it adds to unemploy- ment. Crop curtailment throws out of employment those formerly en- gaged in producing, transporting, processing, and distributing the re- stricted crops. An authority on agri- culture has estimated that the pro- gram of the AAA threw at least two million men and women. into the ranks of the unemployed. most of whom had to go on relief, and be sup- pre- |S ee Ga., ensure the observance of the quotas It must, in fact. exercise thorough- going control over the agricultural process. This Herculean task, it is safe to predict, will prove beyond the ability of those charged with the responsi- bility of executing it. The elaborate scheme of contro! will eventually break down, not only because of the administrative diffi- culties involved, but because it is basically unsound. It is unsound be- cause it involves a curtailment of output, in other words, a reduction of the national wealth and income. It is unsound beesuse it lessens the in- centive to reduce the costs of produc- tion. Under a system free from au- thoritative control farmers have a| warning: real incentive to reduce costs, for| “Were we directed from Washing- the force of competition leads to the} ton when to sow and when to reap elimination of the inefficient and| we would soon want bread.” ported by the country. The scheme of contro! also has a demoralizing effect upon the farmer. That he should be paid not to pro- duce does great violence to the prin- ciples that have hitherto governed his daily life; and though he takes the money, and who would not?, he can hardly help feeling that the policy does not make sense. Finally, the scheme of control in- volves an increasing regimentation of the farmer. against which he will eventually rebel. “For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail?” A great democrat—Thomas Jef- | ferson—once uttered the following (Address questions to the author, care of this newspaper) : TODAY’S WEATHER; — ——_—————_Y Temperatures* 1Ga., 1.36 inches, and Thomasville, ---89 /Ga., 3.12 inches.
