For example: One vote in South
Carolina Is equivalent to 1908 votes
In Illinois, III votes In Califor-
MIA, 1875 votes in New York, 1911
votes in Indiana, 1890 votes in
Ohio, 1924 votes in New Jersey,
800 votes in Michigan, 9.07 votes
in Pennsylvania, s.67 votes in Con-
necticut and $50 votes In Delaware.
On the other hand. in states
where the colored vote iS sup

value Of one vote as compared with
one vote in South Carolina. For ex-
ample: One vote In South Carolina
IL equal TO 1876 votes In Alabama.
2.27 votes In Georgia, Isl votes
In Mississippi. $50 votes in Ten
nsssee. $40 votes in Texas, and
2.i2 votes In Virginia.
In iSlI South Carolina had one

II the electoral college should be
abolished and the President and

DINA would count for no more than

Moreover, abolition Of the cleo

prove an incentive to states to get

Spotlight

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.,
Republican, Of Massachusetts, has
introduced n joint resolution pro.
posing n constitutional amendment
providing for the popular election
Of the President and Vice President
Of the United States, His resolu.
ton would abolish the obsolete cleo
torai college which makes possible
the election " n man as President
who has not received a majority or
plurality Of the popular vote.
Students Of politics are Of the
opinion that the federal election
system Is in need Of reform. The
Lodge proposal Is only one Of sew
eral steps proposed. United States
supervision and regulation Of fed.
eral elections and abolition of the
poll tax as a prerequisite to vot.
Tag In such elections are among
other proposals,
II Is doubtful that tho electoral
college has ever worked as the
trainers Of the Constitution though,
Il would. The original intention was
that q small group Of public .spir.
tied men would deliberately and
iudiciously pick the man best suited
for the office. In actual practice,
however, Il has made possible the
election Of President by q minor.
ity vote Of the people.
Senator Lodge gave three ex.
amples Of the election Of a Prpsi.
dent by a minority vote, One was
the election Of John Quincy Adams
who was chosen by the House Of
Representatives in 1894. although
Andrew Jackson received a popular
plurality Of $1,000 votes over him.
Rutherford Il. Hayes was chosen
President In 1875 by an Electoral
Commission, although Samuel J.
rilden actually received 2SS, 900
more votes than he did.
In lSSS Grover Cleveland was do
tsatSd, although he had a popular
vote Of S.Sao,Oo0 against Benjamin

10 realize that the man who puts
the acquisition Of money beyond all
else comes TO the point where he will
do anything TO acquire the money he
does not need and, II acquired,
could not properly spend or give
away In u lifetime, and that, in
the process, loses the respect Of his
fellow men and ends up on q lonely
island.
This brought my mind back 10 the
gist Of . Sunday morning service
at a great church. The pastor was
appealing for $4,000 TO expand
the seating capacity Of the church

heard the pastor make other ap-
peals, but all Of them were for ad.
ministrative or pastoral needs.

and thousands Of Giving dead" walk

saved 10 serve and contribute had
their fathers and mothers been
aided In properly rearing them by
some assistance program sponsored
or inspired by the church.
Bad Actors Are Made
We have talked q great deal
about the Importance Of improving
the public conduct Of our bad actors
In public places. Bad actors are
made and not born. Preaching TO or
vilifying bad actors availeth little.
II Is u waste Of time and energy
to preach TO dead people. That Is
what millions Of black children
grow TO be whose needy bread win
ming parents or guardians are not
assisted In the proper rearing Of
their children. They cry out against
inadequacy and for help TO live.
II we can send billions and bill
lions Of dollars all over the world

ing without any expectation Of pay |
for same, we can also see that
every American child regardless Of
race, creed or color 10 given q
chance TO be 4 good American by |
guaranteeing equality Of that
chance.
Help the children Of today TO
live. Help them 10 grow into good
men and women. DO not deny
any man the right TO work any
where because Of race. creed or
color, for TO do 30 In murder.
The church and the state make
their greatest contribution In pro-
portion as they enable children to
live and grow. All else 10 sec
ondary. Absolutely secondary. We
need less Of the type Of state and
church for which the people exist
and more Of the type which exist
for the people and especially the
children In this business Of acquir-
ing the know how" TO live with
others and to do something good
tho world needs done and Is willing |
TO pay for. Millions Of poor children |
in the Deep South are crying for !
your help. They live In n world
where most Of the people on all |
levels are already dead.
Get something started In your |
community to help families whose
income IL too low to send their
worthy sons or daughters through |

every American child.
