Minds other than those of politicians will have to solve the problem. “= When the newspapers 25 years ago announced the assassination of the heir to tW@ Austrian throne, there was not the slightest visualization or ‘thought that the e¥fnt, so foreign to the United States at thd time, would lead to row upon row of white -crosses marking the graves of Am- effcan soldiers where the poppies grew in he Key West Citizen | OUR JN AMERIC MSE OP, Tt may surprise s some. ae . told that. the framers. of the Cons of the United. States did not ‘inten the people of the-United States td | elect a President. The Constitution pro- vides for the selection of an electoral col- | lege and the subsequent selection of a President by this group of chosen in- dividyals. ; ‘In the development of the political party system’ in the United States, the practice came into peing of selecting electofs specifically pledged to particular candidates. Thus, while,the yoters.did not vote for the President, he did vote for an elector specifically pledged to his: can- didate. This is the reason that ‘the out- come of a presidential race in.the United States can be foretold on the night.of the election. The voice of the people in electing a President is further removed when we consider the fact that only fourteen states have primary laws giving the voters a direct vote in naming delegates to conven-.| tions that nominate candidates. Inasmuch -as the President of the United ‘States must ‘be the candidate of a major party, it is obvious that the power to name candidates is‘almost of equal importance with the | ‘election of the President. Twelve states select their convention delegates in primaries and in two states an executive committee decides whether pre- ferential primaries shall be held. In all other states the delegates are selected at | party conventions, which means man- oeuvering, trading and the off-stage work | which is usually associated with conven- tions. It is worth calling to your sisson | that the American system of selecting a | President does not depend upon the vote of a majority. Upon occasion, the United States has had a President who was se- lected over a rival supported by a greater number of voters. This may seem -para- | doxical, but it can easily happen under. the present system of presidential elec- tions. There is, it seems to us, an oppor- tunity for reform in the method of electing the President. We would not.go so far as to advocate election by a popular «vote throughout the United States-because this would destroy the relative importance of | es. We think, however, that the peo- oat eyery state should have an oppor- tunity to express their wishes in primary elections in electing delegates to party conventions. This would tend to.assist the popular candidate of a party to secure the convention’s nomination. AJAP.GENERAL AT PRAYERS The news comes from Tokyo that Gen. Iwane Matsui, commander of the Japanese armies that captured Nanking, will spend the rest of his life ‘in prayers” for those slain in campaign. Earth from his battlefields in China -will be incorporated in a statue dedicated the far-flung fields of France. Even far- away Key West sacrificed its sons as a_re- - of Gavrilo Princip’s mad overt act. % With so many counter political groups atzayed against democracy, there should bé@-some form of recognition when young America ‘arrives at the voting age, instead. ofthe Sasual manner in which the heritage of2treedom is recognized. Since the per- petuation | of our form of government de- pends upon the youths who become. citi- zens, -it seems appropriate that atime be pe aside each year to commemorate the. event, and. ‘that it] ‘be, observed ng all those whio treasure their privilege of exercising | wants tote in thr evens ‘At sueh-time | zens is costa license. Saige phd gnty ce ar sacl icity and valle to the dead. This information raises some ques- tions. advised that the Japanese ‘believe: that soldiers slain in battle go immediately to ‘Heaven; if this is true the general’s pray- ers are useless. In the second place, the Japanese usually report.the capture of Chinese cities without losses of any con- sequence and the wonder is that the gen- eral should be disturbed by his dead sol- diers. There is no intimation in the dispatch, however, that the Japanese hero, in his | prayers at the Buddhist shrine, intends to hhaye anything to say in behalf of the |. Chinese men, women, and children out- raged and killed by his soldiers in the | looting and raping of th of the Chinese capital. The American ideal of government includes the freedom of the individual to live his, or her, life under the protection of the law so long as the individual does not harm other individuals. ‘Any interference, on the part of gov- ernment, inthe affairs of citizens must be justified on the ground that it restrains ‘some of us from injuring others.
