PAGE FIVE EDITORIALS SHALL WE CHANGE THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM? For a lona time there has been dissatis faction in many in,, tvrs with the elec toral system by wi a tlu Ur<it«d State:- selccts its pro•••;.:■ u. Tin- IVamcrs of the Constitution i, ' t u tended tin i s.-.ould work 'h • ■ v :y it dues now, but til at is a I ig, .biv i <. not be gone r.tu at this t.i • a; in this space. The i.\ nil amenta! objection to the sys tem as it now operates is that the elec lival vote' does not necessarily reflect tlie will of the people- because which e\et* candidate receives the highest num bei of popuar votes in' a state almost, wii -out exception recei\es all the elec toral vote of that state. (The electoral val 1 ■ ol* each state is the sum of the num her of representatives which it is enti tled in the lower house of Congress, plus two for its senator.-.) Obviously the electoral system as it at p: ent wicks does not refect truly the v..1. of the people. A candidate aught ca a state' like New York with a plu ra. r of only 1,000 votes over his princi pa opponent, if there are only two can di .tom and yet receive the 17 electoral v of the state to none for his oppon c.s i there are three candidates the man v. would get all -17 electoral votes ,t well be one who received subsian \ fewer popular votes than his two onetfU combined, even if one of these i meats received only a small popu vote. Thus Truman lost Connecticut n, >ewe>- very probaby because W allace w:.:. in the running;. fadents of the political scene have ocateu two tiki event remedies for this sk .uon. One is to abolish the electoral v-wege and let the president be dele?* nm.ed by the total national popular vote, disregarding completely stale lines. flic argument for this procedure is that the president is the president of the Unit o*-.j States and not of the several states .--.yoavan.-iy, and that tin will of the peo* pk-* ns a whole should determine the election. But we are wedded to the fed eral system, and the small states would m want to concede to the great, popu lous states the privilege of determining by their great populations which w a y p; evidential elections would go. The otlurr proposal,, introduced into C--tigress some time ago as the Lodge tlosset proposed amendment to the Con stitution, would retain the electoral sys tem, but. would divide the electoral votes in each in proportion to the popular vote for each candidate, i his would mean th vt when two candidates received an al m- st equal number of popular votes in any slate they would each receive suhstanti a :y an equal number of-that state’s elec ts al votes; or in a state having 21 dec al votes, for example, if the popular vote was three to one the top candidate v- tuld receive 18 votes, but the other one. would get six. An interesting news story by Leslie i" rpenter, of the News and Observer s Y, ashington bureau, appeared recently in the local daily, which told how senti n; :nt among southern congressmen is Un it r up strongy behind the proposed -endmerit. They are lor it- Decause they 'a Sieve the change would curb the pow v. of minorities, which in big states and in ci -so elections may have the balance of power, determining under the present ,sv t-un which way the electoral vote in -such “crucial” states will go.

But whomw or the souther it de legation in Congress show anything ap proaching unanimity on an issue one may be sure that there is a proverbial colored gentleman in the- woodpile. According to Mi Carpenter's article the southerners, are behind the proposed change because it would undermine the possible decisive power of the Negro vote in northern and border states. Wheihei they have an., other basis, or most of them, f'-r i hei. in terest ir not indicated. We prefer the 1 ysh-m which would abol ish the electoral college altogether a n d elect the president by a national plurality, but there •-norm. In- little probability tlu-,* suet; a measure could be adopted. W e would advocate as an aiternative the same mea-aire behind which the southern congi cs-cnc-n are iining op. provided the •suffrage of Yogruer is giu-uv.nteed ami protected in e\ciy state, i-or should this be rite case, in the- end the power ol the Negro vote would be greatly enhanced throughout the nation a.- a w hole- instead of reduced. We wonder if Hu southerners have realized that fact, or d t nev are counting on keeping 1 h e southern tic ns. If the latter, they should realize i};at it would not be too easily accom plished, what with trends being as they it, has always been more difficult to bm Negro- s from presutehtial elections In.au from primaries. Under a system of divided electoral votes, the Negroes in southern states could help resurrect the h puma an put • - if they wished, and their vote would count in every presidential election, whereas the Solid South system rests squarely on the present electoral scheme -giving all electoral votes to the hirh can didate:-. Negroes in several states oi the South could even operate a Negro patty, should they be so foolish, which might be more effective than tne Dixieerat party m the election past. In other words the Negro vote, taking the nation as a whole, might be much more influential under a proportional electoral vote ssytem than it is now. Incidentally we have still to st e in any important publication of general circu lation an aeknowiedm-m.mt oi the lad that, Truman could not have been elected without the Negro vote, especially m the crucial states, be earned. But then* r-, one may be sure, tacit, recognition of 'lie situation, and the southerners’ new in terest in changing the electoral svdem is certainly an indication oi it. EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES A lot of people have thought of the. Ku Klux Klan as being a bigoted group, fostering religious and racial prejudice and guilty of persecution of certain peo ple who differed from its members in color or creed. All those, people having such ideas about the Ku Klux Klan are wrong. Eor net less a personage than in. Green, the eminent toooth dentist of At lanta.. and Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, has declared it to be “the most Christian organization in existence.” And who knows more about the Klan than Dr. Green ? We hope all those who have previous ly harbored misconceptions as to tne na ture of the organization will please re vise their opinions. It is a shame that the most Christian of al! organizations should be so misunderstood as to be thought un desirable and unworthy by so many mil lions of well-meaning but ignorant Amer icans.

But what south -rn state or community has ever repealed on its own initia tive such a law? What one ac tually sees, on the contrary, in t ase after case, is bitter resis tance to the correction of in ' unities by the federal courts on the .basis of the Negro’s < laims as a cutzen of the Unit ed States. ,‘V to the other part of the recommendation the psssm?; - ■!" new legi/dation to serv-- a a shield to- tic civil igiita at citizens -that is a field all imp. untouched in the South for 300 years. Practically every K-- igslativf- measure touching on thing--, lacial or inter-racial has ix-on one to curtail rather than promote in the direction of equality the rights and privi leges of Negro citizens. The South’s contention that law cannot solve racial prob lems is a one-sided contention IV. the South .has in the past exhibited great faith in the ef ficacy of law.;. The trouble ha-, been that the Saws enacted have been by far, for the most part, la ws to undermine the rights of Negroes as citizens and the dig nity of Negroes as hr hirers in the human family. indy FOUR PI’R CENT of the national mchtte Incidentally, it is generally reported that what money Neg ro colleges get from Negroes comes from the masses— that element, in the race last able to give. We are told that wealthy phil anthropists arid philanthropies! or ganizations are giving less and less, each yee” to Negro Colleges. On ’he other hand the Southern States are rapidly increasing their ap propriations to their Negro public colleges. Moreover, federal aid to public education in the near future seems to be a fore gone conclusion. This aid certainly will result in more money, directly nr indirectly, being* appropriated to public high er education. As this writer sees it, there is only otic way out for Negro pri vately owned colleges, other than an inglorious death, namely, the large number of Negro colleges will have to be combined or merg ed into a smaller number. 1 be lieve this can be accomplished in spite of denominational interest. There is no such a thing as Bap tist or Methodist, or Presbyterian Biology, or Chemistry, o; Mathe matics, etc Moreover, it cannot be too strongly pointed out that Ne gro welfare should take priority over denominational interest him to marry hot You are using good judgment to make new friends * •* * C.M. —1 am 19 year:; of age, ' and am in my second year of coi jege.

But can the basic strain of inherent perceptibility regain principle of fellow-hip so necessary if international order is to* be maintained; and cart a soeal order endure in a world of con fused nations, each having as an objective a. urogram oi selfish * interest, wholly out of harmony with the other, smashing a-- d. were, the very fundamental stands:d» m human dignity and idealism, There only one reply, and it is purely negative. The Power <>l Control is so entrench-ly embedded :n the hearts of men that - is ejinm-oriiplace for nations to blindly convert, their ambitions mto aggressive expansion without mutual environmental con .-ideratinn.?. This force, the grand idea, of Power and Control not a new element in the conception of men. The control of power mis always carried on a tryst, with civilization, and each pare in the history of generations, found it m >re subtle in its destructive efforts to dominate then, the preceding’ one.

The best theories for international appeasement are at this moment, limping under a gruelling test of criticism, for hypo thetic dogmas, coerced b\< understandards of living throughout tho world, cannot help but frustrate peaceful progress. Only one hope stands ready to head off a catastrophe. It is a course of philosophy embedded in the interior —a focus on the divine apprehensi ,>n which is fast becoming u tool of material istic essentials, being perpetrated through a process, oi atomiza tion.
