ELECTORS TO CAST
u. S. VOTES TODAY
CONTINUED from page one)

(COntlnued from page OneD
tember 20, 1904, the 18th amend
ment to the constitution changed
it.
Electors now are charged with
the duty of voting on the two of
fees separately, As before, the
electoral votes of the states are
counted By congress in Joint SEES
sion, and lack of majority Tor
any candidate throws the election
into the house of representatives
where each state may cast one
vote.
Due TO the system that grew up
in the states of voting for electors
in a body and thus selecting all
pledged for one candidate, the
electoral college system created
several inequities in the last Ger
tury. In 1924 it resulted in the
election of John Quincy Adams
over Andrew Jackson, although
the TenneSSean had n popular ma.
iority; in 1876 the college elected
Rutherford B. Hayes instead of
Samuel Tilden, who got more pop
ular votes: and in 1888 BENJAMIN
Harrison won out over Grover
Cleveland under similar circum-
stances.
This year the college will show
q vast divergence from the popu-
lar will. Although Gov. Landon
received about 81 per cent of the
total popular vote, he will receive
only one and one-half per cent Of
the electoral vote.
This discrepancy has led several
members of congress to advocate
changes in the system. Senator
George w. Norris, Ind, Neb.,
plans law TO have the people bal
lot directly for president and vice
president. counting the state cleo
toral vote as at present. Repre-
sentative Clarence Lea, d.. Call,
proposed to divide the electoral
vote in the same proportion as the
states popular vote. Other men,
bers plan to ask for direct popu-
lar vote.
Norris sponsored the Goth (lame
ducN amendment to the consti-
tuition. After years of effort he
persuaded congress to start Its
first session two months after an
election instead Of 13 months
afterward.

Historic Marker
For Washington To
Be Dedicated 18th
restored Monument At Boons-
bOro To Be Dedicated On
Saturday, July 4

Among the various patriotic cere-
monies planned for the fourth of .Julv
Will be the dedication Of the restored
Washington Monument at Boonsboro
Maryland. The monument, situate on
the mountain-top overlooking Boons-
Dor was first erected by the citizens
OF the community and dedicated or
July A, 1927. In 1885 under the aus
plces of the Maryland Department of
Forestry in conjunction with the Ma
tional Park Service and the C. C. c.,
the memorial was restored in indie
structible masonry.
The historical account of the struc-
ture will be delivered by Harvey S.
Bomberger, president of the Wash
ington County Historical Society. In
addition to this address several others
will be given and complete program
has been planned for the day.
The monument lies on the line of
the Appalachian Trail from Maine to
Georgia. From the monuments posi-
ton can be viewed wide expanse of
the valley of the Potomac. Lands sur
veyed by Washington as young man
for Lord Fairfax are across the Po-
tomac from it. General Braddock's
route to Fort Duquesne lies directly
under it, together with the Old Ma
tional Pike from Baltimore to the
west-now the main artery of the
States Highway System.
The interior spiral stairway was
part of the original. Fifty years after,
the structure had fallen into state
of decay. 1t was rebuilt by the Town
of Boonsboro, under the sponsorship
of the Indepent Order of Odd Eel
lows, in 1882 and dedicated anew on
September 18th. Address was made
by Governor William T. Hamilton and

Rock of Gibraltar Less
Than Three Miles Lon


There are two small places at op
posite ends of the Mediterranean sea
which loom large on account of their
control of the outlets Of that sea.
Gibraltar, at the western end, was
known to the anclents as the Pillars
of Hercules, and few navigators had
the courage to pass through the straits
into the open sea beyond, although the
Phoenicians did sail along the coasts
of Africa and the Iberian peninsula
some little distance from the gateway
to the sea.
The M0OrS recognized the strategic
Importance of the position and from
their name for the rock, Tanks Hill
or Gebel Tarik. is derived the present
Gibraltar, states correspondent in
the Chicago Tribune.
The great rock has been subjected
to at least 10 sieges of which six were
successful During the war of the
Spanish succession the combined Eng
fish and Dutch fleets, in 1904, captured
the position from Spain ostensibly for
Archduke Charles of Austria, but Sir
George Rookie, in command of the
forces, raised the flag Of England and
took possession in the name of Queen
Anne.
Great Britain was compelled to de-
fend the rock during the next year,
and again in 1926, and from ITO until
1888 the place was invested by Span
fish and French forces. Since that
date Britain has remained in peace
full possession.
The rock occupies the southern two
and half miles of the peninsula, the
remaining half mile being low sandy
ground connecting to the Spanish main
land. The composition of the rock In

TREASURE"

Let Love be a Star, guiding the way,
Frightening, reckoning
Through the night; seeming, by day
An unreachable, sacred glow.
Not Love, in curious hands to lay,
Merely to touch, break, learn it so
At length to cast it, unwanted, away.
All, no, not Love, with wondrous taste
All granted, forgotten, and unrevered,
But, greed, dissertation, and waste
The Unworthy always shall know!
While Love, fragile, aloft, revered,
Is a Star, guiding forever the way
before.
