Triumph of American Genius

For FIVE years a staff of scholars worked to
bring this great encyclopedia into living
reality - aided by famous authorities in
every field, by public and private institu-
tions, and by the agencies of our own and
foreign governments.
A year ago publication of the volumes
finally began, acclaimed by authorities and
critics all over the country.
Their acclaim was not only for the su-
premely authoritative contents of this
magnificent new, twentieth-century encyclo-
pedia, but for its PRICE which is SO amaz-
ingly low that before long every forward
looking American family will be the proud
possessor of set. And their acclaim was also
for a unique method of distribution - the
delivery of only three volumes month, as
the books come off press - and the payment
for each three volumes only AFTER delivery

Good Work by the Senate

BY its more than two-thirds vote in
favor of the Lodge -Gossett proposal for a
constitutional amendment to revamp the
so-called Electoral College, the Senate has
cast great credit on itself and put the
Nation on the road to historic reform
that is very much needed In our political
system.
If the House now follows suit-as 1t
should-the way will then be open for the
individual States to change the Constitu-
ton in way that will end an anachronism
that should have been ended long ago.
The anachronism consists of the fact that
under our present system all of the elec-
toral votes of any State go to the presi-
Dental candidate who wins a majority or
plurality of that States popular vote,
whereas the opposing candidate, even If
he runs a very close second, gets none
whatever. ts
AS long as this system continues to
operate the Nation will face the possi-
bility of having one or another of its presi-
Dental elections decided by the House of
Representatives on a partisan basis-a
thing that is bound to happen, as it has
happened in the past, in race where no
candidate wins an electoral-vote majority.
Further, until the Constitution is changed
in line with the Senate's vote, it will be
possible for man to come out on top in
the Electoral College, and thus move into
the White House, despite the fact that
his losing opponent has actually beaten
him in terms of the popular vote. This
obviously undemocratic phenomenon
capable of causing dangerous political
tensions, unrest and disunity-has already
occurred three times in our history, and
it certainly should not be allowed to occur
again.
The proposed amendment, as approved
by the Senate, would revamp the present
system by providing that electoral votes
for President and Vice President be fairly
distributed among the contending candi-
dates in proportion to the number of
popular votes cast in their favor. The
change-which would include safeguard
against the possibility of some splinter
party contender, winning on the basis of a
very small plurality-would have such
other added virtues as tending to break
uP tIic coilu oouIil dlu ulSCouIdRe per-
nicious politicking with minority pressure
groups in pivotal States.
BY voting as it has, the Senate has really
voted to strengthen our democratic form
of government. The arguments in favor
of the amendment so greatly outweigh the
opposing arguments that the House-and
thereafter the individual States should
feel no hesitation about promptly emulat-
ing the Senate's good example.

Chance of Heart

The Board of Education is to be COM
mended for its decision to approve the
selection of Miss Eleanor P. McAuliffe as
principal of the new sousa Junior High
School.
This reverSeS an earlier refusal to con-
firm School Superintendent Corning's
choice of Miss McAuliffe for the position.
That refusal was a mistake, however, and
those members of the board who have
changed their vote are to be congratulated
on having the courage and candor to &C
knowledge their error-not always an easy
thing to do.
One member of the board, Adelbert w.
Lee, is still opposed to Miss McAuliffe,
He says that while his vote against Miss
McAuliffe was mo criticism" of her, he
nevertheless has valid reasons for oppos-
ing her selection which the law prevents
him from disclosing In The Stars judg-
ment, this is nonsense Whatever Mr..
Lees reasons may be, the strong suspicion
is that they would not stand up for q
moment If exposed to public scrutiny.
Mr.. Lee also complains bitterly because
some one made public data showing Miss
McAuliffe to be better qualified for the
position than the other candidates. He
says this was grave injustice" This
again, is nonsense. The fact is that the
disclosure of this information helped pre-
vent not only grave injustice to Miss
McAuliffe, but also a grave disservice
to the public school system.

The Jury's Function

There is nothing insubstantial about the
criticisms which have been aimed at Judge
Holtzoff's charge to the jury last week
in the william "Snags" Lewis case.
This newspaper has no sympathy with
the tactics by which criminal lawyers
sometimes bamboozle juries and win un-
deserved acquittals for their clients. JUS
tice has miscarried just as surely when a
guilty man escapes conviction as when
an innocent man is adjudged guilty. But
the determination of guilt is function
for the jury, not the Judge. And when a
Judge undertakes to impress jury with
his views as to the guilt of an accused
man, there is a serious question as how
far he should be permitted to 60.
Lewis and two co-defendants were being
tried on gambling charges. After pro-
tracted deliberation, the jury had been
unable to agree. So Judge Holtzof called
the jurors into the courtroom and gave
them this instruction:
In q criminal case the court cannot per-
emptorily instruct the jury to find the
defendant guilty. If the law permitted it
would do so in this case.
In conclusion will say to you failure
by you to bring in a verdict in this case
can arise only from a willful and fragrant
disregard of the evidence and the law as
have given it to you, and violation of
your obligation as jurors.
It seems to The Star that this goes far
beyond the practice of some judges-a
debatable practice-of commenting on the
evidence. In effect, Judge Holtzof was
telling the jury in the Lewis case to convict
the defendants admonition softened
only by the bare acknowledgment that
the law forbids judge to 'peremptorily"
instruct jury to find defendant guilty.
Judge Holtzof, of course, did not devise
this instruction himself. He took it from
q charge given in local case some thirty
years ago, and approved by majority of
the Supreme Court. Because the charge
was approved in one set of circumstances,
1t does not follow, that it would be ap-
proved in others. Certainly its use raises
anew the question as to how far judge
should be permitted to go In attempting
to influence jury.
It is all very well to say that Lewis and
his co-defendants quite probably were
guilty. And there is no doubt that Judge
Holtzof acted from sincere desire to
serve the ends of justice as he saw them.
But there will be other defendants and
other judges. II one judge has the power
to tell jury what he thinks it's verdict
should be, all judges have the same power
with respect to all juries And that is a
power which would be open to fiagrant
abuse.
This case is now on appeal 1t ought
to be carried to the Supreme Court, so
the judges there will have a chance to
take another look at the instruction which
was approved in five-to-four decision
thirty years ago. In that original case
there was no dispute as to the facts.
Justice Holmes read the majority opinion,
and Justice Brandeis joined the dissenters.
