margin"
On Thursday morning, they
read:
Election is in doubt; Will
son has Isl, Hughes 247."
On Friday morning. they read;

votes: Hughes gets 259."
California had gone for Wilson
by $500 votes, giving him the
Is electoral votes which swung
the election and changed the his
tory of the United States and
perhaps of the world.
PEOPLE OVERRULED
The famous Hayes-Tilden cleo
ton of 1876 was decided in a
newspaper office.
Tilden was elected President by
the people. There is no question
about that, but the will of the
people was overruled by smart
politicians who had the money to
use and who did use it freely to
buy the electoral votes, offered by
carpet-bagging officials to the
highest bidder.
Tilden's election was conceded
the morning after the voting by
all but one of the largest news
papers.
The exception. New York
daily hostile to Tilden, claimed
that the result was in doubt.
1t is very likely that no atten'
ton would have been paid to this
had not one of Tilden's managers
sent a telegram to the unfriendly
newspaper asking what informa'
ton it had about Florida, Louis
lana, oregon and South Carolina.
This grotesque blunder gave
Hayes forces their opportunity.
Tilden's forces were not sure! At
once the word went out from the
Hayes managers:
"Claim everything!"
Which was what they did.
Through bargaining and brib-
ing, they threw the election into
the House of Representatives and
into an electoral commission.
On strict party lines and by a
majority of one, this commission
gave the Presidency to Hayes.

PRO OR CON?

To Louis Dembitz Brandeis, AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, must
be accredited a clear-headed state
ment on the question of whether
Government employees can serve
on District juries.
While the case was being ar
gued Assistant Attorney General
Brien Mcmahon advanced the ar
gument that under the old com
mon law the Crowns servants
were allowed to serve on juries in
England.
Attorney William Leahy an
swered this argument by reading
law commentaries bringing out
the fact that the Crowns servants
were allowed to serve because they
would favor the King. He argued
that when the Constitution was
drawn and the Sixth Amendment

SOME EXCEPTIONS

The unintiated, and he is many,
always refuses to believe the early
newspaper extras and bulletins If
they go against the person for
whom he has voted.
He will not concede that anyone
can give the true picture with less
than half of the States counted
and less than one-tenth of the
popular votes tabulated.
Yet it is the simple addition of
electoral votes and the judging of
trends and localities which permit
this to be done with assurance.
The exception makes history
and one of these exceptions was
the election Of 1916.
AS the nation went to the polls
on Tuesday November 7, Charles
E. Hughes was the 10-to-7 favor
lite in the Wall Street betting.
Early in the morning of No
vember 8, the press of the coun-
try, with at least one notable
exception, had conceded his cleo
ton.

breakfasting country ran like
this:

President of the United States.

Care of Children

The Board of Public Welfare would do well to go
slowly in adopting any plan for consolidating the various
institutions caring for dependent delinquent children
Where it is possible to consolidate public institutions
serving common purpose and when such consolida-
tion would result in savings of the peoples money then
of course the mergers should be effected.
But the present move to eliminate the Industrial Home
School and send the children cared for in that in
stution to the National Training School for Girls and
the National Training School for Boys seems to be in
spired solely by the desire to money regardless
the consequences to the boys and girls involved.
This movement does not seem to have had it's origin
among District citizens among District officials
charged with the administration of local institutions.
Rather it seems to haze been inspired by Federal
officials and Others lvhO are not intimately &C.
Quainted With local conditions.
There is doubt to whether the objective is
provide better for the inmates of institutions and
to save the District money.
The Board of Public Welfare composed of citizens of
the District and charged with preserving the local char
acter of local institutions under its should not
lightly yield itself to the purposes which animating
the consolidation movement.
The children in the Industrial Home School are of
different type than those in the other two institutions
which it is proposed to send them.
They have been sent to the school for far diff
than those for which children sent to the other
schools.
THERE IS SERIOUS DOUBT AS TO WHETHER
THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE CHILDREN
WERE SENT TO THE INDUSTRIAL HOME SCHOOL
WOULD BE PROPERLY SERVED BY SENDING
THEM TO JOIN THE BOYS IN THE NATIONAL
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BOYS AND THE GIRLS
IN THE NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR
GIRLS.
Any move which may be made in connection with
these various institutions should not be made hastily.
CERTAINLY IF ANY MOVE IS MADE TT SHOULD
BE MADE WITH THE PRIMARY OBJECT OF I'M
PROVING CONDITIONS SURROUNDING THE Chill
DREN.

court. For if you didn't learn your
case histories and commentaries
in A No. / fashion in school you'd
better go back before you appear

This case was of such unusual
interest to the justices that Mr.. Nc
Mahon and Mr.. Leahy were called
upon after almost each statement
to prove their point through quota
tions from decisions, citations,
commentaries and even to tell ths
justices the background of the
times when the cases cited were
decided. Both gentlemen acquitted
themselves very creditably in facs

We find calm affectionate respect
Doed forth by Intellect to Intellect.
