Money and Elections.

Congress upon reassembiing will try
its hand on a corrupt practices act, now
in course of preparation. Competent
lawyers and experienced politicians have
the matter in hand; and, presumably
what is reported Will be worth the time
necessary for its examination and de-
bate 1t is stated that the measure will
be drastic" whatever that may mean.
The question of the use of money in
elections is at once meritorious and very
difficult Offices should not be bought
either by candidates. or by friends for
them. Auctions have no proper place in
our politics These truisms have been
repeated thousands of times, and yet
bob up whenever the subject is up.
Electioneering is a sort of art. Some
men acquire it easily-seem to have been
born with it They need, and use, little
money in a campaign. A pleasing smile,
ready tongue, glad hand go far
toward bringing out the voters on cleo
tion dav. The friends of a man so
gifted work with Il will. and many with
out compensation. They perform a labor
of love.
Some men never acquire the art. and
vet secure office. Working up senti-
r,ent for them is tough work. Every
laborer in the vineyard puts stiff price
on his labor. and wants. because he
thinks himself worthy of. his hire. Nee
eSSarilv. the campaign expenses of can
didate of that sort are heavy, although
rot dollar may go for what may be
properly called a corrupt purpose.

p1blic servant and gives IN Office the
more useful account Of himself is a
question. An examination of the record
would probably show excellent men on
both sides.
That our campaigns have grown very
expensive of late years is no secret
That campaign methods are much alike
on both sides the fence is equally well
known Now and then a new wrinkle

! fensive that may be launched against
them, having restored their defenses and
| regained their equality in artillery and
aerial equipment, which at the, outset of
| the Somme offensive last July was great
! " inferior to that of the French and
British. The British however, point to
the fact that the last serious advance
movement on the Somme front was
distinct success, netting a gain of more
| than a mile north of the Ancre and the
capture of large numbers of prisoners.
This occurred in the middle of Novem-
Der, at which time the physical condi-
tions had begun to grow most difficult,
practically precluding further offensive
operations.
1t would not be surprising if the
Somme offensive were never renewed,
at least on such scale as that of the
July advance 1t is quite possible that
the allied spring drive may be directed
against a different section of the Ger
man front. The attack at the Somme
was in itself a surprise. not merely to
the neutral watchers, but to the Germans
themselves. The fact that the Germans
have used the time of respite for
strengthening of the trenches at this
point would be good reason for
shift to another point of attack There
was, however, certain advantage IN
the Somme sector as an objective, mas
much as it was here that the French and
British lines joined and thus the of
fensive was a mutual movement greatly
stimulating to the people of both coun-
tries.

BIG INCREASE
PoSTOFFlcE DOING MORE eUsI-
NESS THAN EVER BEFORE IN
THE CITY'S HISTORY.

PostCffice receipts are always con-
sidered barometer of business con
ditions. They are considered in all
cities as one sure indication of a gem
eral revival of business, and it has
always been known to be a fact that
when business is good at the post Of
flee it is gfiood in a city generally.
According to figures given out by
Postmaster LeaYy yesterday, the re-
;eipts for the quarter ending yester-
day showed a most substantial gain
over the same period last year and
kept up the record established dur
ing the first six months of the pres
ent year.
Figures on the percentage basis, the
Increase was approximately ~ per
cent; the same was true for the past
quarter over the corresponding period
last year. 1t was also noted in the
igures yesterday that the receipts
or the past quarter were equal to
chose for the quarter ending July /,
Though July, August and September
ire considered the three dulIest
months of the year, especially July
and August
The business at the local office ev-
cry month during the present year
has shown an increase over the same
month of 1915, with the indications
that the quarter ending January l will
undoubtedly be as large if not larger,
than any in the history of the local
postoffice.
The increase is not in any particu-
ar division of the office, but is gen.
eral. Practically every month this
years has shown an increase of from
5000 to $500 over corresponding
month of 1915.
