He is of a free and open nature that thinks all men honest who but seem to be so, end will as tenderly be led by the nose us asxea are. Shakespeare, The Untied Stales Goes To College Did you vote fur Franklin I). Roosevelt or Wendell Will-kit Will-kit for President on Tuesday, Nov. ? Pardon us, but you didn't. You voted for electors, who you hope and expect will vote in the electoral college for the candidate of your choice. That is the unique college to which all the United States g-oos, once every four years, to find out whom it has elected its President. Those electors, for whom you really voted, will meet and THEY will vole for the presidential candidates. The result nf their vote will be forwarded to Washington, there tabulated tabu-lated with similar votes in other states, and the result is the official election of a President. A lontf way around to achieve a result everybody knows about anyway ? Perhaps. Some people think it ougTil to be eliminated as a useless snail of red tape, to say nothing of the possibility that the electors just might possibly' tfet to-jrether to-jrether and vote for somebody you didn't intend them to vote for at all. It all started when the country was youn-,, and had fewer few-er than 4,000,000 people, most of whom were not allowed to vote. Even this restricted suffrage was not trusted.. It was felt that the voters ou.eht to delegate the right to choose a President to a select group of respected citizens. These would be chosen by the voters for their standing and judgment, and they, in their wisdom, would choose anybody they thought best for President. Their number, too, equal in each state to the number of senators and representatives, guaranteed minimum representation represen-tation to each state as such, no matter how small. But after this college had twice elected Washington, parties sprang up. and the idea became more and more firmly entrenched that the electors were to be. pledged in advance to vote for a specific candidate, I bus reducing them from a choice-making body to a mere transmission belt for a choice made by the voters themselves, Thus we are reminded every four years of two things: first, that our government is more democratic today than when it was first set up. and second, that it is a federal union of sovereign states, and that our presidents are chosen by the vote of the people of the states as such, and not directly by the mass of all the people. This sometimes produces the phenomenon of a President getting the required number of electoral college votes and being elected, while actually having a minority of the popular vote. That is because he may have great majorities in the states he carries, while losing others by only a few votes. This occasionally creates some bad feeling, yet it is hard to see that such feeling would be any less if a candidate turned up with a majority of 10 votes out of 50,000,000 cast. This odd and atavistic "college" has been functioning for 152 years and bids fair to turn out many another "graduate." ii- i ( 7 f. ...... v i : Turkey ' ' r .

CARROLL I was thinking as I moved my dust (loth over the surface of a table to remove the film of dust which- had gathered since the last cleaning day, of Rupert Brooke's sentiment in his poem '-'The Great Lover'' expressing love for the .substance so hated bv housewives, 'T hese I have loved," he says, and en u morn ten among ot her commonplace common-place things such a'whito plates and cups, ringed with blue," "wet roofs beneath the la mp-h t; lit," and the "bemson of hot water"--"leathery, taery dust." There Is nothing "tai'rv" :lxut dust fit the housewife. What is there about it, I wondered, that would make n poet love it'.' 'I hen I recalled an article I had read about (lust, as a source of beauty and as a necessity to life. This article discussed the relation rela-tion of a t mospheric duKt. to the equable distribution of moisture and hence to the maintenance of conditions necessary to vegetable and animal life. Without dut, it was said there would be no clouds or mists or "gentle" rains, but perpetual sunshine, desert lowlands,' low-lands,' mountains constantly swept with floods and torrents. These conditions would make both vegetable vege-table and animal life extremely difficult or absolutely impossible. As an clement in beauty, the author pointed out that dust gives the blue to the sky. Without dust, it has been demonstrated, the sky would appear absolutely black and the stars could be seen even at noon. The sky would give no light. "We should have bright glaring sunlight," he stated, "or intensely dark shadows." In our houses we should have little light except when the sun shone directly di-rectly into them. It would be necessary ne-cessary to have windows all around " t h walls which would have to be pure white. We would have to live in perpetual glare or close out. the sun all together and use artificial lights. It is particles of dust in the iil-nmsphere iil-nmsphere uhit h give the, brilliance to sunsets and sunrises. This writer writ-er states lliat half the beauty of the world would vanish with the absence of dust. So, perhaps the pact is right there is something lor which we should love "feathery, "feath-ery, faery dust," when it is not on table-tops. The essayist and the poet reveal to us by reference to the beauty and necessity of dust the interest, to be found in commonplace things about us. Perhaps if we thought of these values of dust, tor instance, while whisking our dust-cloths, dusting and other uninteresting un-interesting talks would not be drudgery. Dust would cease to be plain, disgusting dirt even if it didn't transform itself for us into the poet's beloved "feathery, faery" substance.

AAerry-Go-Round Predicted Re - election of Roosevelt The record of The Washington Merry-Go-Round for predicting presidential elections remains at 10! I p r cent with its correct forecast fore-cast published in The Herald last Sunday, of a Hard term victory for Pi evident Roosevelt. In 1SC6 Drew Pearson and Robert Rob-ert S. Allen went out on a lnviij with a landslide prediction for Mr. Roosevtdt. This year they pitted their politcal acumen against one. of the most hard-fought elections in history, and came through again at a time when elaborate nationwide nation-wide polls and survey were still confessing their uncertainty.. As late as Monday, November 4. the public opinion polls of George Gallup and Elmo Roper of "Fortune." while showing, a slight lead for President Roosevelt, were, still refusing to commit themselves. them-selves. Others, such as the Dunn survey and Emil Hurja's "Pathfinder" "Path-finder" Hill, predicted victory for Mr. Winkie. Pearson and Allen, however, definitely prcdictrd the re-election of President Roosevelt three days in advance. They stated flatly that it would be almost impossible for Willkie to overcome the big bloc of states which Roosevelt had in the bag ami named the states. The Merry-Go-Rouml made this prediction only after a month of intensive travel throughout various var-ious part of the country. The O SERIAL STORY BY W. H. PEARS CILPTER I AT three minutes of 10, Bill Mentor stripped off his while iipron and da shied for the door o the drug store. Old Julius Pckin darted from the back room l.ke a t'pider after a fly. "So now. Mentor, you pick your own quitting " n--?" His dry, thin voice quivered. ' ."ou're paid to work from 4 until 10, not when the spirit moves you." "But tonight's the first game of the season, Mr. Pcskin. I'd like to see a few minutes of the last quarter." From nearly six feet up Bill watched the putty-colored bald sXit on the little; man's head turn crimson. "I've swept out and" "Slap things up in a hurry," Peskin grumbled. "If it wasn't for the ill-will I'd gain around the school, I'd yank my. son Walton off the team and put him in yuue place here." 'V- "Yes, sir," Pull said, edging toward to-ward the door. "It's 10 o'clock now, Mr. Fcskin." Peskin looked satisfied at having hav-ing gained his rightful time, even in talk. "Go ahead," he snapped. THLL was on his bicycle before theMoor slammed. He streaked through the ctear autumn night, broad shoulders fcunched over the handlebars, legs driving like pistons. pis-tons. Crossing Market street he saw a wide halo of light against the sky. He heard distant cheering cheer-ing and his heart leaped in response. re-sponse. The game was still on! Bill sliced between parked cars, skidded to a stop. Inside City Stadium Sta-dium he could hear the . rising chant of a "Yea-a-a, team!" Ap-plausespattered, Ap-plausespattered, followed by the abrupt silence that precedes play. Running up the ramp, Bill caught a black tilimose of the Fcorcboarri: VISITORS, G; WEST 0! Down on the cleat - r'newrd sward the West boys were in a huddle, their jerseys making a huge crimson blossom against the green turf. "afll, here I am!" Helen Welch ran toward him, waving. Ilcr chestnut curls were windblown find adorned with a crimson ribbon rib-bon to match her short skirt. Slim, eager, she said, "I was afraid you wouldn't get here." "Me, loo," Bill said with a grin. "Jeepers, Helen, there goes a pass!" It was a wobbly, erratic heave from Peskin. A Benton man charged in to bat it aside, but with a desperate lunge the West end Crabbed it. He was knocked out of bounds on the Benton 25. A deafening roar went up from the crowd. The band crashed forth in pagan triumph. Crimson-skirted cheerleaders spun around like dervishes, pounding the air with their fists, chanting, "We want a touchdown!" "Oh, Bill!" Helen's eyes shone as she joined her voice to the pandemonium. pan-demonium. She danced up and down, grabbed Bill impulsively and kissed him. "Bill, Bill, they're going to do it!" "Gee . . ." Bill stared at Helen, touching his fingers to his lips. "You . . . kissed me." "Oh . . ." Helen's cheeks flamed. "I didn't mean to, Bill. Honestly. I I was' excited and . . ." Her voice was lost in wild cheering as Hart, West's fullback, bucked the line for five. The timekeeper time-keeper signaled three minutes to pla3 The Benton boys looked tired. Straight, hard smashes would do it, Bill thought, trembling. trem-bling. "Drive!" he prayed. The mild fall wind struck icily across his hot forehead.

Boy! authors took turns, one remaining in Wa liim.'don, the other surveying survey-ing the political situation elsewhere. else-where. They were remarkably accurate in naming the "d' uibtf ul" states that decided the contest, and in estimating- the trend that pave the President a much smaller pro-poition pro-poition of the popular vote than in PC;). Some of the states they assigned assign-ed to Mr. Willkie or classed as leaning his way went to Mr. Roosevelt, Roose-velt, but by a whisker in each case. Short of supernatural prophecy, proph-ecy, Pearson and Allen had conic as close as possible to calling the turn before the actual votes were counted. They also predicted the possibility possi-bility of an apparent "landslide'-' in electoral votes, despite the closeness close-ness of the popular vote, pointing out how slight majorities in the big state? would give the successful success-ful candidate whole blocs of electoral elec-toral votes. "Many states," .they said, "are very likely to be decided de-cided by such narrow squeaks.'' The "narrow squeaks" they predicted pre-dicted were actually registered in at least fifteen states, including the pivotal blocs delivered by New Yolk, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jcrvey, . Illinois and Wisconsin. Thirty thousand people are employed em-ployed in the production of American Amer-ican movie films.

A moment later the timekeeper's pistol exploded. AS Bill and Helen pushed slowly through the disconsolate crowd they recognized Pat Hurly, sports editor of the Daily Clarion, and heard him grumble, "That wouldn't would-n't have happened if Buck Men-tor'd Men-tor'd been coaching. What a time for razzle-dazzle!" Wheeling his bicycle, Bill walked by Helen's side in silence. He thought of his father, sitting clone by the radio, and it made him unhappy. un-happy.
