about the same; the average obtained

mediocre acts with two or three good
ones and adding an unqualified head

THE GOVERNORS RESPONSE
RILITY,

One of the most trying and respon-
sible functions a Governor has to per-
form, is making his appointments.
Under the Constitution and laws the
number of appointments is very large
and some of the places to be filled are
highly important.
The Public Service of the State de-
ponds almost entirely upon the char
acter Of the men who hold the Offices.
1t does not matter how good and
wholesome the laws are, they will not
amount to much if they are indiffer-
emily executed So that it is of
the utmost Importance that the Gov
ernor should exercise the greatest
care i'm selecting public officials and
that the men selected should be suited
to the particular Office for which they
are chosen.
This distribution Of patronage, as it
is sometimes called, is regarded by
some persons as a source of executive
power: that this army of oficeholders
behind him makes the Executive
stronger. We think the opposite IL
the truth. We think it is source OF
weakness rather than Of power, for
the reason that there will always be
a great many more applicants for the
places than can be gratif1ed, and
hence the Governor will find himself
with half dozen or more disappoint-
ed fellows, who think they were as
much entitled to the place as the fell
low who gets it, And hence the Gov
ernor is embarrassed and weakened.
The vacancy which the Governor is
now called upon to fill presents a
strong case of his responsibility. DIR.
Herring, because of ill-health has been
compelled to resign his position as
Public Service Commissioner of Mary
land, just eight months before the
expiration Of his term. We think 1t
is generally understood that this is
one of the most important offices in
the State, certainly the most import
ant that comes under the appointing
power of the Governor. Tt will not
do for him to allow politics to domi
nate him, in the least, in making his
appointment. The action Of this
Commission affects all classes of the
people of the State, and there should
not be particle of politics connected
with the action of the Commission
ers.

Taneytown, Nd, September 3, 1918
Editor OF The Advocate:
I have noticed the advertisement Oh
"a so-called camp meeting" 10 be
held i'm OILERS grove on the next two
Sundays, purporting to be held under
the auspices of the County G. Z.
Union. | understand that the EAecu-
tive Committee of the Union has taken
action repudiating the scheme, and
denying any relation to 1t.
AS an officer OF the G. z. Union, its
Pastoral Counsellor, I want to say
that while I could not be present at
the meeting when action was taken
i'm the matter, / most heartily approve
the Committees action. Let me ex-
press the hope that the Christian peo-
pie of the community will have enough
regard for the sacredness OF the
Lords Day, and enough respect for
the regular services in the churches
to have nothing to do with the affair
i'm the grove.
There Ii no need for any camp
meeting i'm this community, and if
there were such need, there Is no
more resemblance between a real
camp meeting and this advertised at
fair than there is between light and
darkness.
You will do me favor by printing
this letter in your columns.
Respectfully yours,

Pastor Trinity Lutheran Church.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The greatest rival OF the circus and
OF the Buffalo Bill performance il the
county fair which comes into it's own
this month.
Our Maryland county fairs last
from three to six days. Harvest is
over and the farmer sets out for the
place where he can view the wonder
full exhibits displayed for his pleasure
and profit. The prize corn, prize
cattle and hogs, fancy poultry, blue
blooded sheep and lambs, stimulate
him to put forth greater effort on the
farm next year. The new models of
farm machinery are also sure to in
terest him.
The fair sets the standard for the
inexperienced house wife. It is a
place for the exchange of housewifely
arts and ideas. What could be more
important than to win blue ribbon
for currant jelly, raspberry vinegar,
Maryland biscuit, sweet potato Gus
tards and cucumber pickles?
Here the political candidates gather
to welcome each newcomer with a
handshake and tell him about what
the county and State are in need of.
The circus fakirs and wandering
gypsies reap rich harvest here; al
SO the men who sell flower bulbs that
blossom into beautiful plants within a
week, and imitation poodles for ten
cents, do rushing business.
There Is usually horseracing at the
fair and this sport always succeeds
10 drawing the crowds away from the
side shows, automobile exhibits, and
cookery demonstrations, for nothing
has ever been found to rival king
horse i'm the affections of either town
folks or country folks.
The social feature OF the country fail
has It's advantages too. Everyone
goes from all the country round
some In big wagons, some in auto
mobiles and hundreds BY railroad
Taneytown and Mt. Airy have hal
their fairs this year, but there ar,
plenty of others being advertised OF
all sides of us. Spend day at on,
of the county fairs.

HAS ITS ROOTS IN CONFIDENCE
so True Friendship Elevates Two
Hearts Above Sordid Struggles Of
Their Time.

AS the love of Romeo and Juliet ehe-
waited their souls above the strife OF
their houses, so can friendship elevate
two hearts above the struggles OF
their time, though the individuals be
ever engaged in it; while those
friends who happily walk the same
path cheer and strengthen each other
by their mutual example; and since
essential confidence can exist be-
tween good men only, they propel each
other in the path Of virtue. for it is q
primary law of all intercourse, that
II two or more of the same molina
tion pursuit or character-good, friv-
olous or wicked-are brought in close
contact with one another, in the same
direction they will propel one another
still more rapidly. Friendship must
rest on mutually, it is one of its
essential qualities; for one of it's re-
Qutsites and blessings is the en-
joyment Of confidence-a luxury to
good men; and Aeschylus is right
when he says that kings suffer one
evil, they do not know how to conf1de
IN friends; while the reason that was
given Of Trajan's having friends II
that he was friend Of himself

Genuine Maple Sugar,

There are few people outside the
maple sugar making districts, says q
writer in the Country Gentleman, who
really know what the genuine article
tastes like. The superior flavor thns
spoken Of Is probably due in 8 de-
gree to the same causes that make
strawberries eaten off the vine and
cherries consumed on the tree SO de-
lectabre. The writer quoted, however,
puts some Of the blame for the poor
flavor Of commercial maple sugar on
the "wily wholesale dealer and mixer !"
