Get Out the Vote Plan

After every presidential nominating
convention, there Is brought home fore
IDLY the fact that very large percentage
Of the citizens Of the United States do
not exercise their precious franchise to
VOTE
believe I know the reason for the
failure Of so many people to participate
in voting. It is because elections are
held on weekdays, when hundreds of
thousands Of citizens are unable to vote.
II elections were held on Sundays,
people would have more leisure in which
to think about the issues and to more
carefully select their candidates. It
would permit Of a more direct voice in
the governing Of our affairs; and elected
officials would be more representative Of
the will Of the people. The mounting
population and increased business ac-
tivities. with their ramifications and
complications. make it essential that
elections be held on a non-business day.
In many European countries, elections
are held on Sundays, with the result
that hundreds of thousands take part
who would otherwise not be able to do
so If they had to interrupt their daily
business life and suffer inconvenience
In order to cast their votes.

To kill an elephant weighing tons with

To catch a huge fish weighing many

Below the Belt

It Is possible to draw the inference that
Howard McGrath was acting in bad faith when,
as Attorney General he appointed Newbold
Morris to investigate corruption in the Govern
ment. Nevertheless, the Chelf Committee has
landed what looks like low blow in putting this
forth as more or less direct accusation.
This charge, by strong implication at least,
is contained in the first report of the House sub
committee, which has been investigating the
Justice Department The gist of 1t is that Mr..
McGrath knew Mr.. Morris was under investiga-
tion in connection with surplus tanker deal
at the time he was picked for the cleanup job,
and that the appointment was made in the ex-
pectation that Mr.. Morris consequently would
be responsive to pressure. ,....-.+
In his two appearances before the commit
tee, this question was never put directly to Mr.
McGrath, who now emphatically denies it. (Adr
Morris also denies that any attempt was made
to put pressure on him. There was ample
opportunity, however, for the committee to have
gone fully into the question had it wished to
do so. Had Mr.. McGrath been asked specifically
about this phase Of the matter, he might have
given satisfactory explanation. But he was
not asked for an explanation, at least not in
specific terms, and it seems unfair, therefore
TO indict him now on the grave complaint Of
bad faith in his offacial capacity.

Jonuthun Doyton Defended

In his very interesting article appear
ing on the anniversary of the Constitu-
ton, in The Star Of September IT.
Edward Boykin makes q startling OBJ
servation. He says: Youngest signer
was Jonathan Dayton, 26, destined to
become U. 8. Senator, Speaker Of the
House, to have great city named for
him and then. at last, to stoop to treason
against the Government he had helped
create"
This is the first suggestion that
have seen that "the signers'' harbored
an embryonic traitor. Jonathan Dayton
of New Jersey was a friend Of Aaron
Burr under whose scholarly father they
had studied, and with whom he, with
his own distinguished father, served as
an officer in the Revolution. Dayton
was later accused Of treason with Burr
In what history has since revealed to
many was a political indictment, more
concerned with conflicting ambitions Of
masterful men than with guilt. At all
events. Burr was acquitted by Jury at
Richmond, which was the stronghold
Of President Jefferson, who set the Gov
ernment against him; and after trial
of several months before the most cele.
brated Judge Of his day, John Marshall,
and with the assistance of the most
eminent counsel. Of whom Burr him
self was perhaps the most frank and
disarming. On the same day Of the
acQuittal, the Government Withdrew the
charge against Burr's friends. including
Jonathan Dayton, who had been caught
in the same dragnet, so completely un-
tangled by Burr himself.
It is known, Of course, that Burr was
brilliant, fascinating. ambitious and
reckless. Though Vice President only, he
was threat to Jefferson's control of the
new party he had created and with
which they both had routed the Fed
eralists. Jonathan Dayton was mem
ber Of Burr'S faction and as Speaker Of
the House came under the same lash as
Burr. The offense Of Burr seems to
have consisted more In being pitted by
fate against the other two most brilli-
ant, masterful and ambitious men of
his day than in disloyalty to his coun-
try. And these two, Alexander Hamil-
ton and Thomas Jefferson. themselves
Z agreed on nothing except dislike Of Burr;
the one because of the policy Burr rep
resented. the other because he repre-
Sented it too well.
As for Jonathan Dayton, to be in
