Time for oChonue

William Gladstone once described the
Constitution of the United States as "the
most wonderful work ever struck of at a
given time by the brain and purpose
of man. For almost ITO years it has
stood, remarkably resilient, through the
machine age and into the atomic age with
only infrequent need for amendment.
For some years, however, there has
been recognition of the need to revise the
machinery for presidential elections. The
present winner take all" system gives
100 per cent of the electoral college votes
Of any State to the candidate who wins
one more popular vote in that State than
any other candidate.
Once again, agitation for arranging
a more equitable distribution of electoral
votes is strong. The Senate now has
before it proposal by Senator Price
Daniel, Democrat of Texas, cosponsored
by So other Senators, which, in it's main
provision, would apportion a States
electoral votes among the three top con-
tenders in the same ratio as their popu-
lar vote. Should no candidate have
majority of all electoral votes, the House
and Senate would choose the President,
with each Senator and Representative
having one vote.
This latter provision would correct a
weakness that has not generally been
recognized. Under the present system,
which permits the House to select a
President when there is no electoral COL
lege majority, each State delegation is
entitled to one vote. The machinery
makes possible deadlock in the House
with no further provision for naming a
President. The possibility of this hap
xpening is not so slight as to permit ignor-
ing it. For instance, in 1948 relatively
minor shift in the voting for President
Truman in two States would have thrown
the election into the House, where the
party lineup of State delegations was
such that deadlock would have been
almost assured.
The Daniel amendments provisions
for equitably apportioning the electoral
vote would mean simply that no voters
ballot would be wasted, whether he be
a Republican in Georgia or a Democrat
in Nebraska. The plan would give Just
as much weight to a vote cast in the
ouAd1ACoI village DIS 10 one cast IN new
York City.
One objection to the plan, which
seems to have impressed number of
Northern States Republicans, has been
raised by Senator Case, Republican of
New Jersey. Senator Case fears that his
party would be put at disadvantage in
the Democratic strongholds of the South
Senator Case reminded his colleagues
that the same fear was expressed by the
late Senator Taft in 1850. In 1850, how
ever it might have been difficult to con-
vince Senator Taft that, in two years, the
Republicans would carry four Southern
States in presidential election and win
seven Southern House seats
The Daniel plan removes most of the
other objections which have been raised
against previous proposals for stream
lining our antiquated electoral machin-
cry. The amendment should be approved
by Congress and promptly submitted to
the States, preferably in this election
year when interest in such long-needed

Murree, Pakistan
May "a, 1856
Dear friends:
Already, I have fallen by the
Wayside and neglected this
column. There have been many
reasons for this, but l shall not
take any more valuable space to
enumerate them.
First, l want to say thank
you" to the great number of
Noble county folks who sent me
birthday cards this last month.
So far, l have received over one
hundred cards and most of them
had notes in them. I am getting
a letter printed right now and
sending it out to some of you by
sea-mail. Don't expect it for
another six weeks.
l am finishing my first month
of language school up here in
Murree which is in the foothills
of the Himalayas. At home, you
might call them mountains as we
are 1900 feet and can look over
into the Kashmir snow-capped
range which averages $4,000 feet.
Just last weekend, we went over
into the Northwest Frontier
Province and could see the
worlds fourth largest mountain,
Manga Parbat, which towers
over $4,000 feet. We have magni-
ficent views from here.
Our language school is sup
ported by many denominations
Presbyterians, Conservative Bap-
lists, Methodists, Church of Eng
land, the Scottish Mission and
other groups. There are about
fifty missionaries studying the
language. We all study about
eight hours each day and walk
on an average of three miles
each day to and from classes
and private tutor hours. Urdu is
not an easy language as we are
all discovering.
The Woman's Division of the
Methodist church has purchased
an old house here in Murree cor
its single women language stu
dents. | have the responsibility
Of seeing that necessary repairs
and building additions are made.
Right now, three of us are living
in three small rooms. A new out
door kitchen has just been COM
pleted and within another month,
we should have another room.
Inspite of a busy schedule, we
manage to play tennis, 60 on
horseback tricks, picnics and SO
forth and enjoy life.
We are thankful that the fast
ing month for the Muslims Ram
2zan, is finally over. When your
workman do not partake of any
feed or drink any water from
.uu-u2 TO sun-doWn, you just
do not get too much work done.
Ramazan is a real hardship on
the people. It is a month for
special prayers and worship.
Inspite of the fasting, it is sur
prising that the food actually
consumed during the night hours
is more than the average month.
Two outstanding MUSLIN
events have taken place since /
last wrote in the Journal. The
one was the month of RamaZan.
The second event was the first
Republic Day on March %. On
this day, the first President of
Pakistan, lSkander Mira, was
sworn in. 1t was thrilling to wit
ness the ceremonies, the shouts
of Long live Pakistan' from the
millions of people who thronged
the streets. We all pray that PAX
istan will experience new life
and will be increasingly indepen-
dent and self-sufficient in its
economic and political life.
