a majority of the votes. There are
many political leaders who claim
there is a very real possibility that
such situation will prevail this year
and that the selection of a President
will have to be decided in Congress.
Should the selection be forced into
Congress the minority would have the
power to name the President This
method is obviously unfair. is con-
trary to the wishes OF the trainers of
the Constitution and Is wholly out
Of keeping with the present-day ideas
Of American citizens. 1t certainly
never was intended that any minority
should be able to overthrow the will
of the majority and gain political
control of the nations affairs"
DR.. Putney added that the election
of a President by Congress involved
so many legal complications that the
matter would surely go to the Su-
preme Court for an Interpretation and
ruling on the meaning of the wording
of the Constitution. The founders did
their best to make the Constitution
clear, but parts Of it are open to diff
ferent interpretations. They could
not anticipate conditions that might
come about in $50 years.

mediterranean PORTS
GAIN NEW PROSPERITY
Bv tbe Associated Press.

BY the AsooClateu rrces
LONDON, October 11--Tourists
who while away the coming winter
months on Mediterranean cruises
will find almost every seaport putting
on Partisan airs with casinos, dance
halls, restaurants, cabarets and saxo-
phonic syncopation.
The Mediterranean Winter cruises
which have been elaborated since the
war, were so popular last year that
there were not sufficient ships sail
ing from England and America to
satisfy the demand. In consequence
the stopping places. particularly the
ports in Northern Africa experienced
prosperity hitherto unknown to them
In fact, they sold out their stocks
of native trinkets, rugs and souve-
Mrs.
This year they are providing
against running short by importing
from England and continental cities
vast amounts of goods. which they
will sell from their baZaarS to un-
suspecting tourists in search of artl-
cles of native manufacture.
Far more lucrative than the trinket
trade in these ports is the operation
OF gambling rooms These sprang up
in mushroom fashion last year, but
now many have been turned into
richly decorated and furnished
casinos. In some cases these have
been built right on the docks wnere
the steamers berth, while others line
the streets most freQuented by tour
lists.

neighbor of seventy-five millions.
All this, however, is far in the fu-
ture. But then diplomats are accus-
toned to thinking in long stretches
Of time.
Acts Like Gambler.
When Germany chooses the league
as a means of returning to her ia
nous place in the sun she acts the
cautious gambler. For she refuses
to give up any possible advantages
in a loose alliance with Russia and
Turkey. In her memorandum sent to
Geneva she asks these nations be
asked to joint the league with her.
This is done under the entirely
PLAUSIBLE pretext that without all ma
tions the league cannot be a League
of Nations.
Having chosen the peaceful way
out. what is Germany doing with her
army? The present allied inspection,
the World correspondent is in a posi-
tion to state, is growing more and
word has gone out as few difficulties
as possible are to be made by the
commission.
First of all, the Germans won their
point that no inspections should be
undertaken without 4S-hours' notice.
If the Germans are violating military
restrictions they never do it openly.
With 4S hours time they can remove
the last vestige of such violation.
Further, the allies agreed the Ger
mans could notify their officers and
men that this was the final inspec-
ton. This was a concession to the
dignity of the German officers, who,
presumably, would not submit to in
nd h.
When the French first heard this
they wired Paris they were coming
home. But Herriot, Influenced, no
doubt, by Macdonald, instructed them
to stay. Herriot did not want his
peace plans ruined.
1t must not be assumed that be-
cause the Germans may be violating
certain military restrictions they are
preparing for a war of revenge. Gen.
Won Seeckt, unlike the fanatical pam
Germans, has no illusions on this
score.
His main purpose is to keep alive
the tradition of militarism among
German youth and to keep alive a
highly efficient nucleus of a German
army 1t has been charged that the
ReichSwehr takes volunteers for six
weeks each year, enters them as re-
cruits and discharges them as "physi-
cally unit You can keep tradition
alive in this way. but you cannot form
thus fighting European army.
The military spirit, unfortunately.
is not dead. If anything, it has been
nurtured by the Ruhr invasion. The
war lords who lost the war are spend
ing their spare time in travelling
about the country calling upon the
youths to be prepared for the war to
come.
Their words fall upon deaf ears
when they talk to the war veterans.
but the youth that knows war from
cheap and tawdry propaganda book
lets it enamored at the prospect
AS Germany develops her political
system eventually will divide itself
into those who want her former glory
in the old form of an aggressive
military nation and those who seek
her glory by peaceful methods for a
fuller peace. Whatever the parties
will be called they will be essentially
Liberals and Militarists Only time
will pick the winner.

motorists. Instruction against ac-
cepting any advances from strangers
is something which the public school
teachers have hitherto left to the
parents. But with so much evil OF
this sort abroad just now, it Is in
struction which the children not only
cannot hear too often, but need to
hear both at home and in the class
room. 1t is a new feature of the
local school course, but an important
one"
Two youths have just been sem
fenced to from 80 to 60 years apiece
in Sing Sing for holding up and alb
ducting two young women on Flush
ing roads last Summer. In the past
week there have been three attempts
in the center of F'lushing's business
district to entice school girls of from
s to 10 years of age on motor rides.
Parents in the Flushing section had
threatened to keep their children at
home altogether unless something
was done to protect them on their
way to and from school. Anti-f1irta-
ton courses are the answer.
The second most important topic
with which the New York school
teacher has to deal at present is

IS WAYS TOP|CK
PRESIDENT OF u. S.
Trainers of Constitution Had
Difficulty in Deciding on
Electoral Plan.

In connection with the possible
election of a President by Congress,
Dean Albert H. Putney of American
University calls attention to the fact
that the trainers of the Constitution
had such great difficulty in deter
mining the best way Of electing the
Chief Executive that they had 13 diff
ferent methods under discussion and
held many exciting debates on the
subject. It was only after many
weeks Of fiery controversy that they
finally settled upon the present cleo
toral college method.
DR.. Putney sums ur the 13 original
proposals over which the makers of
the Constitution had such a struggle
as follows:
1. Election of a President by the
people.
2. Election by the national legis-
lature (Congress).
s. Election by the state legisla-
lures, each state having one vote.
Election BY Executives.
4. Election by the executives OF
the states.
5. Election by electors chosen by
the people. -
6. Election by electors appointed
by the legislatures OF the individual
states. ,.-
Z. Election by electors chosen by
the states according to a ratio allow
ing one elector to the smallest states
and three to the largest states.
s. Election by electors appointed
by the legislatures Of the States ac-
cording to this ratio: One elector for
each State not exceeding 100000 in
habitants. two for each State above
that number and not exceeding so0,-
| 900, and three for each State above
| 0,00O.
9. Election by electors to tho num-
| Der of 25 appointed by the State leg
islatures and proportionately allotted
| to the thirteen States.
10. Election by small number OF
| the national legislature to be drawn
| from it by lot who should retire i'm
| mediately and ballot.
Other Plans Proposed.
| IL. Election by the people, each
man voting for three candidates.
| IL. Election by the national legis-
lature, or electors appointed by it, the
balloting to be on thirteen candi'
| dates, each one chosen by his owr
| state as it's best representative.
| IS. Election by an electoral college
the method finally adopted and writ
ten into the Constitution.
| DR.. Putney declares that sooner ol
later the present election law mus
| be amended.
| I'm marked contrast with foreign
| countries" he says, this country has
had the two-party system for many
wears. In elections abroad there are
usually several candidates. But ir
| our elections there are rarely more
than two candidates who showsan3
great strength in obtaining electoral
votes. This has worked greatly tc
! the advantage of the present cleo
toral system and the choice of the
people for the past hundred years has
almost invariably been carried out. --

CHILDREN WARNED
TO SPURN FL|RTS
Luring Young Girls Into Autos
Becomes Peril That Alarms
New York.
By Consolidated Press.

NEW YORK, October 11.-"Don't
stop, look or listen," is the newest
instruction to the public school pupils
Of New York City. 1t is all on ac-
count of an old problem, which Of
late has suddenly become acute here
abouts. 1t is the problem of the
male firt; in this instance. of the
male motor firt.
Flirting-to put it mildly-has be-
come os much of a problem round
New York these days: and there have
been this Autumn so many disastrous
instances of school girls and school
boys lured into cars by men of the
Leopold and Loeb type, that anti
flirting courses have been introduced
in some of the school buildings.
The only reason why this instruc-
| schools seems to be that the thing
was Instituted in Flushing-a sub
urban section of New York City-and
is being tried out there before
spreading to schools in more crowded
sections. Oddly enough, the child in
| rather suburban section appears to
| be in more danger from the motor
| fiirt than the child in the crowded
| streets.
Teachers Are Helping.
Teachers In the public schools
are supposed to instruct their pupils

schools, when he was asked about
the addition to the curriculum.
"Instructing the children not to
talk to strangers, not to accept candy
from them and never to accept a
| ride from them, seems to be highly
important at this time. Such instruc-
| tion was not ordered from headquar-
ters; it is, however, being done on
the teachers own initiative, as part

courses, and it is altogether an ex-
| cellent idea"
