Tells Story Of His Life in $50
Words.

Congressman David J. Lewis, of this
district. is the most modest member OF
the MARYLAND delegation IN Congress
when measured by the length of the bio
graphical sketches published in recent
edition Of the Congressional Directory.
Mr.. Lewis uses only $50 words to tell
the STORY Of his life." He also states
that he began coal mining when 9 wears
of years of age and learned to read in a
Sunday school.
Next to Mr. Lewis in brevity is Repre-
sentative !. Harry Covington, of the First
MARYLAND district, who uses 40 words
Representative J. Charles Linlhicum' s
sketch is the longest containing 425
words. Senator John Walter Smith and
Senator William P. Jackson employ 375
words each. Representative Charles p.
Coady, the new Congressman, whose BIZ
ography is published for the first time in
the directory, uses 1877 words; Represent
tative J. Fred c Talbot. $50 words and
Representative Frank o. Smith, of the
Fifth district, serving his first term, ass
words.
Two of the longest sketches in the di-
rectory are those of Senator du Pont, OF
Delaware, and Senator Vardaman, of
Mississippi. They use 1000 words in
telling of their careers The number of
words used by the Marylanders is about
the average.

better than any road engineer, because
they know the people better, and also
because if they try, they can make them
do the road work properly, because they
hold the purse strings, and can refuse
to nav them until the work is properly
done.
As for the proposed new system, it
will be infinitely more expensive than
our present system, and not near as salts
factory. The best argument for this ia
the record made by the last Democratic
Board of County Commissioners, of
which Mr. William Il. Lakin was the
president.
1t was the most economical and salts
factory Board Of County Commissioners
that Frederick county had in twenty five
years, and none were ever more satisfac-
tory.
1t was composed of five honest and
industrious citizens, and they charged
the taxpayers less than one half for
heir services than the boards that have
succeeded them have charged them.
The people can compare the services of
that Board of County Commissioners
with those that have succeeded them,
and then draw their own conclusions.
Far better endure the evils that We have
than fly to others that we have not tried.
The present system is good enough if
the Board of County Commissioners is
goo enough to do their duty. That is
the question, and this is the question
under any system. Is the man good
enough?'

In another column appears an adver
tisement inserted by order Of Z. Austin
Baughman, Chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee, and Charles
H Conley, Chairman Of the Democratic
State Central Committee for Frederick
County, which tells its own story and
leaves little to be said In passing,
however, We might add that it is great
pity that Jhings have gotten into the
condition they have. AS to the causes,
there are many, and at this time we do
not choose to 90 into that phase, except
to say we have heard fully sixty seven
varieties. 1t has been suggested that
rivalry for leadership helped to bring
about certain conditions; that unwse and
pernicious counsel made malicious mis-
chief both before and after election; that
large interests we're concerned in some
thing to be pulled off later, when feel
inc subsidized to a sufficient extent; that
certain financial institutions were also
mixed up and that the appointment of
Republicans by board top-heavily
Democratic, was the result of bargains;
and further, that certain persons, here
tofore antagonistic to the party orgariza-
ton, busted themselves spreading false
hoods about other persons and things
all Of which, if true, naturally would
have created confusion in Heaven, let
alone amongst body of men. WHO at
least are human and susceptible TO mfu-
ence, for good or evil. We say this Of
course in all candor. The CITIZEN has
always been an organization paper, and
as long as it is printed, will continue to
be so. 1t Is too old to learn all Of tie new
tricks in political doings these days. and
does not concede that many Of tile iuno-
y'tlons, tried out by the people il recent
years are successes. We belie,r IN pr
sonal independence but cannot see where
a candidate of party can satisfy himself
that he is independent of his party. and
the regularly appointed or elected organ
ization. If any of the candidates in the
future, who aspire to office, under party
designations, Will come out HatfOOtei
with a proclamation of absolute and fear
less independence of party. The CITIZEN
will gladly give them space in its col
umns, without charge, and do all in its
power to spread the tidings as far and as
wide as our circulation and power per
mits. We trust things will take on
brighter hue and that reason and right
will come more to the surface to clear
away the present clouds, because
In men whom men condemn as III,
We find so much Of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce Divine
We find so much Of sin and blot,
We hesitate to draw the line
between the two,

To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
OF FREDERICK COUNT

To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
OF FREDERICK COUNTY
The appointment by the County Commissioners
of Chester M. Hduver, Republican oficehoder for
years past, Constable for Frederic District,
through the votes of Messrs. Stephens, Amman and
Hotter requires some public notice and explanation
Where Jesse Hahn, Republican, was re-appon-
ed Firemen the Jail by the votes of Messrs Steph-
ems. Amman and Hotter, many good loyal Democratic
voters expressed surprise and condemnation at the
course of two elected as Democrats.
The rumor that Hauver was to be re-appointed
as Constable brought together the two governing COM
mittees of the Democratic party and by unanimous
vote the following letter was addressed and delivered
to each Democratic Commissioner by messenger:
Frederick, Nd, Jan. 1, 1914
Dear Sir The Democratic party Of Frederick
county has been and is now vitality interested in YOUR
and watching with keen interest," your action
in all matters pertaining to the discharge of your du-
ties.
The Executive Committee of the County Central
Committee and the State Central Committee in meet
ing duly called and held the day and date above
set forth, hereby its emphatic protest against
the appointment of Jesse Hahn as Fireman at the
Frederick County Jail as a breach of faith to YOUR
party and in absolute contravenon of the policy of
the Democratic party expressed in the following
resolution, which was introduced and passed by the
Democratic County Central Committee without dis
sent, on September Is, 1911:
Resolved, by this Committee, that in all matters
pertaining to the several districts of this county and
especially in the matter of the appointments to any
political office in and for any district of this county,
the recommendation of majority of the local District
Central Committee of such districts, shall prevail
thereby securing local selgovernment to every sec
ton of the county X"
Hahn is Republican and has been at all times
staunch supporter of that party and could not obtain
the Endorsement of single member of the Democratic
Central Committee for Frederick City or County
The Democratic who elected you are
searching for the why you should ignore their
legally elected representatives and hwar their wishes
by such appointments
We sincerely regret the necessity of calling YOUR
attention to these matters and earnestly hone that in
making future appointments, the loca committees
Will be consulted and their recommendations followed

The BLACK ARMY
ASSISTING FRANCE

Paris. sept. 24.-'Lo Force Nire
NOire. the Black Army OF France.
a. the Turcos now fighting with the
allies are called. was organized by Col
onel Mauliu in 1911. The .Turros are
Arabian light infantry recruited iu Al
geria. The force IN 1907 consisted OF
only about 5000 Senesalese. Colonel
Maugin raised the number to 10000
soldier, recruited from Senegal in the
Soudan, from French Guinea, Dahomey.
Algeria, Tunis and Morocco.
The supply Of men from this source
i almost ineXhaustihle. and. further
more. this source of supply Is out OF
tne enemy's reach. II is declared that
80 long as only one French port re-
NAMED in French hands. these terrible
black fighters could be poured in
streams into France.
The black soldiers of these districts
are born fighters. Death in battle is.
to them, the highest distinction one
can achieve. As result they are re.
lentless in the fury OF their attacks
and absolutely fearless. Tney never
surrender. Their woni ierful physique
and almost total nperviousuess 10 pain
keeps them fighting on after they have
| received wounds uader which fighters
Of white races succumb.
Col. Maugin once said of these sol.
liers:
His sense Of discipline. his devotion
20 his white officers, and the fierce
ness with which he nurls himself at the
enemy are wonderful -
Gen. LangIoiS. writing in the Temps
in 1909, when the raising OF the pres.
ent Algerian force was being discussed
| said: 1.-The sanguine and fatalistic
temper of the troops of these races
makes il a terrible asset in a shock.
In an article in Gaulois, Gen. Bonnal
said: con the wide battlefields of any
future war, the Arabs, trained by eau
caSianS and armed with the terrible
weapons of war of the white races, will
prove unrivalled when the final blow
will nave to be devoted to the enemy.
With the black troops organized and
equipped in her African possessions the
republic holds and rules territory a
extensive as Europe, inhabited by 20,-
100000 people.
The use Of Arabs in European war
fare by the republic during the pres.
ent conflict is not the first time this
has been done. Napoleon employed
black troops and they were used also
in the stOrming of Malakhoff. Algeria
also was drawn on for fighting men
during the Franco-German war of 1870.
The early troops raised in Africa by
France were recruited mainly from the
Kavbes and Arabs. The majority OF
those which came from the Haybles
were a tribe called the Zaououves, who
gave their name to the Zouaves. The
three regiments of Algerian tiraileurs
who fought in the Franco.G German war
lost % Officers and 2,5s9 men.
