Why President Elect Holds Hands

Few of the millions of Americans
who have just designated Senator
Harding as their choice for the Pres
idency probably recall why he must
wait until March a before taking
office. Many, perhaps, may be sur
prised to learn that the da:aS of cleo
tion and of the Inauguration arc not
prescribed by the constitution. That
document simply declares that "Ths
congress may determine the time Of
choosing the electors, and tie day
on which they shall give their votes"
It says nothing with regard to tie
date of the presidential inaguration.
Immediately following the ratifica-
ton of the constitution by tie States,
the old Continental congress-, after
much wrangling, selected March 4,
1889, for the establishment of ths
new government. And, although con-
gress actually convened only On
April 80, it was decided later that
the first term should be deemed at
an end on March a, 1893. Since ths
President is to serve four full years,
this date has ever since bcelaccept-
ed for the beginning of his admin
istration.
On March 1, 1892, congress pcssed
a law providing that the presidential
electors must be chosen within thirty
four days preceding the first Wednes-
day in December. On January q,
1S45, this was amended to read the
Tuesday following the first Monday
in November" The act of March l,
1892, also fixed the day for voting
in the electoral colleg, as the first
Wednesday in December. The Date
for the opening and counting of the
electoral votes in congress was set
for the second Wednesday II Feb
ruary.
It is obvious that these dates were
placed at intervals no furSher apart
than conditions Of communication at
that time made necessary. From the
selection of the electors until the
date of their meeting in each state
was but month or so. Two months
later, after tie votes rad been
brought to the capitol, scpe Of them
from points many hundred miles
away, they were counted. Shortly
after that act the President took mis-
seat.
Today there is, Of course, no need
of all this delay, if congress wishes
to end it. The electors could b
chosen, the college could cast it
vote, and the President-elect take his
seat all within one month But, as
a people, we cling to the old customs,
for no other reason than the respect
they have gained by their antiquity.
Like our British friends, We are loata
to cast off the usages Of the Fathers.

RED CROSS NEWS NOTES
Kingstree School Joins-Purposes OF
Junior Organization.

Kingstree Graded school, true to
its principle of being foremost in the
ranks of all worth while movements,
has again Joined the Junior Rel
Cross,t the oranization in which it did
some wonderful work during the war.
Although, there is no war to spur our
efforts now it is hoped that this
branch of the Junior Red Cross will
be a live one and not one in name
only.
The purpose of the Juniors is
service, doing things for others, and
the possible activities are numerous
The following are some of the sug-
gested ones, but by no means all:
Class Room Helps
(a) Lessons in Civics, one of the
lesson must emphasized is that teach
ing pride in the school building and
grounds and in the city or community
itself; making the child feel that
these things are his to protect and
beautify. Recently the writer saw d
small boy in this town walk along
one of the principal streets and DROP
bits of cotton on the side walk. This
was not bad little boy and he didn't
realize that he was doing what he
shouldn't. But if he had been a real
Junior Red Cross member he woult
have been careful not to do anything
to make the town unattractive anC
would have been more likely to re-
move trash that he saw on the street
rather than put more there. might
not some of the elders also take thi:
principle, of the Juniors, to heart. J
A pamphlet may be secured from the
HON Service Secretary giving sug'
gestions as to how the Civics lessons
may be presented.
(b) The Junior Red Cross News.
(c) Carrying on correspondence
with Juniors in other parts of The
country.
Relief Work
(a) Looking after the children ir
orphan asylums, supplying toys, gar,
ments, etc.
(b) Contributing money for relief
of children I'm Europe.
School Improvement
(a) Purchasing drinking fountains
(b) Purchasing school libraries.
(c) Beautifying school grounds.

Peaceful Words.

filiations, one cannot but admire for
it's calmness and sincerity the address
of President-elect Warren G. Harding
to the people of his community short
ly after his overwhelming election.
In the words spoken by Mr.. Harding
there is an acknowledgment of
his dependence upon his coun-
selors, who shall be men of in
telligence and integrity-that he alone
is not to direct and guide the desti-
nies OF the nation. There is also in
dication of his conviction that we need
"more business in government and
less government in business" Touch
ing upon the subject of the League of
Nations he said: "It's not that you or
l question the desire of America to
pay it's part; it's not that we qucs-
ton the high ideals of those WHO were
responsible for the Versailles cove
nant. You just did not want sur
render of the United States of Amer
lea; you wanted America to go in
under American Ideals. That's why
you didn't care for the league which
is now deceased.
America is playing gre: : part
row. America is healing the heart
of the old world tonight as is no
other nation. But there is more to
do. There is rev world relation
ship, and when the next adminic ra-
ton comes into pow er we're going to
play our part.
We're going to ask for nations as
sociated together in justice; but it
shall be an association which surren-
ders nothing of American freedom.

cles that are quite as heavy as falls

back here from the convention that
if I had to be a superman, / should
be reluctant to accept the task. But
America is not expecting the super
man.
81 have told the people that We are
going to have in America once more
government by the constitution, gov
ernment by the people through their
chosen representatives. The thing
that counts is the will of the people,
not the will of the chief executive.
"Those of you who know me best
know, maybe, that l have one great
attribute which will fall into the sit
uation. All along, all my life, / have
preached conference, counsel, ex-
change of opinion, and the meeting OF
many minds.
at has been said l am reactionary
and ultra conservative. Let me re-
mind you that the great thing for
America is the slowing up OF the ex-
treme radical and the speeding up
of the conservative. so that we can
better come together.
"These are serious times. The CIV
ilization of the world was turned into
a fluid state. Permanent crystaliza-
ton has not yet come. 1t is for
America to give to the world a
steadying and stabilizing influence
"I am going into office knowing
that the heart of America is right.
In the spirit of compromise, IN the
desire for understanding, and IN the
mutuality of interest, America will go
on and give of it's service for the good
of humanity and the safety OF the
world.

in establishments abroad, especially

''The American mission in Berlin, .
the memorandum says, "is housed in

water soaks through cracks in the
