MAKING Studies Of Volcanoes.

The department Of agriculture has
begun the extensive observation of the
volcanoes in the United States and in
suIar possessions and has recently
taken formal charge of the observa-
tory on Kilauea, Hawaiian Islands.
Pref. T. A. Jaggar, Jr.. formerly of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
who has been director of the obsersa-
tory since its foundation, will remain
In charge. The Investigations at
Kilauea were begun in 1912 under the
auspices of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology, and since 1913
have been maintained at the expense
OF the Hawaiian Research association,
consisting chiefly Of residents of Homo
lulu. 1t is expected that the weather
bureaus work In volcanology will be
developed In many details and event
ually be extended to Alaska and other
regions under the control of the United
States in which active volcanoes exist.

arise, as figured out by ex-Speak-
er Clark:
Suppose the successful candi-
date dies before the electors meet
in December? How would the
electors of the 48 states deter
mine who TO vote for? 1t might
be possible to reconvene the ma
tional convention OF the success
full party, or to hold an informal
convention of the electors from
the various states.
The Constitution fails to cover
this point in any manner. No
such occasion has, as yet arisen.
but that does not mean that none
ever will. The nearest approach
was in 1872 when Horace
Greeley, candidate of the coali-
ton in opposition to President
Grant, died less than a month
after his defeat at the polls. The
66 electoral votes that would
have been cast for him had he
lived until December, were dis
tributed among a half-dozen men.
After the state electors have
cast their ballots they prepare
three copies of the formal vote,
one going to Congress by regular
mail. another by special messen-
ger and the third is filed with the
United States district court of the
locality in which the vote is
taken. Then the electors power
expires. If the successful candi-
date should die after they have
formally voted for him there is
no authority to be found any
where that can call them togeth-
er again. Congress, when it
meets in February, has no right
to change the names on the bal
lots in such contingency as just
noted.
AS a third possibility, suppose
that after Congress had formally
canvassed the vote in February
the president-elect should die be-
fore the inaugural in March? The
Constitution provides for no
power that could reconvene the
electoral college, or Congress for
that purpose, if it should have adj
journed.
In addition to having discov
cred these grave possibilities OF
future troubles Mr.. Clark has
provided what he believes would
be remedy. He suggests that
the governors of the states be
given the power to reconvene the
electors for further ballot, or
that the Secretary of State be au-
thorized to call another joint
meeting of Congress to take some
action to straighten out the tan
gle. The former speaker proposes
to introduce a resolution shortly
which will bring about thresh-
ing out of the matter by Congress
and possibly forestall such catas-
trophies as have been described.

PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION

How many Americans who
vote for their choice for president
and vice-president every -four
years ever have stopped to think
what a condition this country
would be in if the successful can
didate should die between cleo
ton day and the date of his in
a,lguration?
Former Speaker Champ Clark
of the House of Representatives
proposes to introduce some bills
to remedy the situation SO that
the nation never will be confront
ed with the three of four serious
problems that are easily possible,
but which the greatest good for
tune has kept from the United
States during its history.
These three dates, should be re-
membered as vital points in the
curious and unattended situation
as regards a possible tangle over
the presidential succession in tn
event of the death of the presi-
dent-elect:
l. The election of presidential
electors is held on the first Tues
day after the first Monday in No
vcmber.
2. The electoral colleges of the
48 states meet at their state CAPT
tails to cast their votes on the sec
ond Wednesday in December.
3. The two houses of Congress
count the vote of the electors on
the third Wednesday in Febru-
airy.

Mexico is the Ishmaelite of the
western hemisphere. and the United
States is saddled with grave respon-
sibility. as trustee of the other Amer
lean Republics as well as for the great
powers overseas, to arouse what passes
for the Mexican government to
sense of its own responsibilities and
to compel, preferably by moral pres
sure, its recognition Of Mexico's OBJ
legations as a member of the family
OF nations. For the moment Mexico

can doubt that erecting the high ce-
ment fence between the two countries

newspapers, some edited by men of
more prominence In the democratic
party than any member of our pres
emit legislature, have denounced the
injustice with which negroes are
treated in the matter of passenger
transportation. A negro has TO pay
the same amount as white man for a
railway ticket, but he is invariably
compelled to ride In a much worse
car. If this is justice, it is also just
TO sell him inferior goods or short
weight for a dollar, while the white
man gets the best goods and just
weight. It is the law in all southern
states-and a perfectly just and wise
law-that white and colored shall
have separate cars and waiting rooms
The railroad companies-aH owned
by northern men-have followed a
policy of giving the negroes as pas
senger cars the coaches the whites
have used until they are old and
shabby. They are never as well cared
for as the coaches for the whites. 1t
Is true that negroes, generally speak
ing, are not as tidy as whites. But

improve, and it is poor encouragement
to force them to travel in filthy and
dilapidated cars.
In regard to these cars, we may be
pardoned if we stop to say, right here,
that a number of years ago we got
after Yankee-owned railroad cor
poration which was hauling its pas
sengers, white and colored, on one of
its branch lines, in exceptionally
ramshackle and dirty cars. One car,
which was used as a frstclass coach
for the whites, stunk like a latrine.
But we couldn't make any impression
until we dug up the information that
this car had formerly been used for
negroes. Then the railroad commits
sion came down on the railroad COM
pany like a thousand of brick, and
made it replace the car with a better
one. But, we were told by certain
railroad men, that this same sinking
car was promptly shifted to another
part of the syster and returned to its
former use as "jimcrow car" Now,
will any white man say this was jus
tice?
The next item says:
Disregard of Law: We also men,
oralize his excellency, the governor,
and the president of the senate, the
speaker of the assembly and the MEM
bers of the legislature that they viii
see to the enacting and enforcement
of such laws as will safeguard and
make secure the life of prisoners in
their custody, as officers of the law,
to the end that our great state may
not be brought in disrepute by the
lawless who execute summary pun
ishment on those accused of crime"
AS this is in entire harmony with
what President Wilson said in a spec

Editor Jordan of the Punta Gorda
Herald takes up the cudgels for the
DeSoto county board of public instruc-
ton, which recently prohibited the
public school teachers of that county
from dancing Or playing cards. He
says the rule was made from bust
ness and not a religious standpoint.
There have been good many social
affairs given In Arcadia recently, and
the teachers who attended them reg
ularly, remaining up often until and
8 o'clock in the morning, could not
give proper attention to their duties,
Brother Jordan's defense, as usual, is
impregnable. We daresay there would
be such a rule in Ocala if necessary
which it isn't; our teachers being
without exception faithful to their
duties.

will do to Marion county, but the
names of some Of its prominent ne
groes are carried on its jury list and
have been so carried for a number of
years. Yet, Marion is a white mans
country" solidly democratic county,
and seems, to have no trouble in re-
naming so.
The negroes closed their resolu-
tions with the following:
eve also feel that if Florida, the
most southern state, leads in this
matter of thus exemplifying the
faith for which they have fought,
most or possibly all other states of
the South will accord their negro
citizens the same measure of justice
and fair play"
This sums up list of remarks that
we think any white man should listen
to with patience, and some of which
he might approve Of.
The Star is a southern paper and
looks at all race questions from a
southern standpoint, which we think
the experience of over two centuries
shows is the safest. We think it is
entirely consistent with that view to
encourage the negroes in every good
work. The class of negroes that made
up the convention here two weeks age
is trying to improve its race thru sch
help. They are working hard, build
ing homes, supporting their schools
and churches to the best of their abil-

ial message to the American people
last year, we need not comment on it.
The resolutions went on to say:
ITO the whole people of Florida, we
address the following statement and
request: We, the people of Florida,
together with the other state of our
common country, have gone through,
to a successful conclusion, the world
wide war; we, the people of Florida,
have not been derelicr in or toward
any duty or service that confronted
US; we have responded to every call
made upon US; we have given time,
money and service and we feel and
know that we ought to have done so;
the whole citizenry of Florida, men
and women, black and white, have
rendered patriotic, unstinted service,
whether it has been conservation,
money or yielding up of life; we are
still willing and anxious to do what
ever is required for the exemplifica-
ton of democracy. Since these things
are true, and they are true, we, the
negro citizens of the Palmetto State,
respectfully ask: Should not democ-
racy be exemplified In our own
state?' There is no true American
who will answer the question in the
negative. Hence, we further most re-
specially ask that one of the funda-
mental rights or privileges of Ameri-
can citizenship be accorded Us, the
colored people of the state of Flor
ida, namely: that colored men, when
measuring up to the requirements of
qualifications be included in the list
