On next Tuesday the voters Of Maryland,
besides the responsibility Of choosing the mem
bers Of the National Administration, are called
upon to determine question Of very gave Inn
portance to their State We vote on the adop-
tion or reputation Of the recent amendment to
our State constitution which proposes bud get
system for the adequate handling Of our funds
The system recommended has the sanction Of
long usage in number Of states and large mu-
inequalities, where its success is SO pronounced
as to make our present system BY comparison
roraby inadequate md obsolete For the
past lew months We have printed in every issue
the proposed amendment, and we feel confident
that our readers are amply familiar with its
tsrms. It is not political question: but pure
usiness proposition for The enhancement Of
u nomy nd efficiency and should be adopted.
Vote for it
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1916-11-02

The voter, who will stop for a moment to
consider tEe grave problems which have con-
fronted the Administration since MIR. Wilson
inauguration as President and the masterfuI
manner in which he and his party have handled
the complicated issues, cannot fail to appreciate
the wisdom Of retaining him and his party for a
continuation OF the great service rendered the
country. 1t is his due that he be permitted to
kcary to their completion the reforms and con-
kuuctve laws he has SO wisely and well launch
ed. His accomplishments have but just begun
to be REFLECTED in the enormous prosperity that
is universally being enjoyed in this country.
His craftsmanship has made deep and lasting
impression wherever it has been applied He
is honored and needed wherever his wise coun-
sells have been given, and great good has result
ed from his fearless stand in matters Of interna-
tional Importance. He has paved the way for
more constructive legislation during the brief
period Of his encumbancy in the high Office of
President than has been the record Of his OPP
ponents during generation. Therefore, it
were extremel y unwse to retire him in the
midst of his successful administration of our
country's affairs. We should leave no stone
unturned to secure his reelection to the end
that the good work so auspiciousIy begun shall
be cried on to the ultimate conclusion. which
is the promotion Of peace and prosperity and
national honor.
In order that we may be unhampered by
chickering's and divided opinions as regards the
important phases Of our domestic and foreign
policies, it is essential that we elect men to as
sist him, who are in sympathy with his policy.
Such men as the Hon. Dave Lewis and Hon.
Jackson H. Ralston are eminently fitted to up
hold his policies and our interests. The people
are the ones who are entitled to protection, not
the vested interests. We who are Of the people
would be voting against our better interests to
support an advocate for high protective tariff
There ha been talk about foreign competition
after the war, but our Republican brethren
haven't determined at what specific date we
are to enjoy this long hoped-for state Of inter-
national peace. Mr.. Wilson's administration
for the term in which he has guided the Ship Of
State has been characterized by the Democratic
principal Of equal and exact justice to all and
special privileges to none. He is not an enemy
to capital, but he is the friend Of the people and
will not jeopardize their interests to favor a
special class.

BRITISH FAVOR ALLIED
STATEMENT OF TERMS
LONDON. Dec IA

LONDON, Dec, II,
Sentiment Increased today In favor Of
including in England's answer to the Ger
man peace note clear and explicit denni-
tlon OF the Allies basic terms
II Is certain tho answer will be q reJec-
tion OF the proposal at this time. but II II
felt in many quarters that the Allies should
meet the German diplomatic strategy In
sending the note by counter-move, which
would put the Allies as the first OF the two
sides TO make known definite demands and
concessions.
The Pail Mall Gazette's comment was
typical today OF this view. IL said:
We do not see why the Allies should not
turn the Incident to their own profit by
fresh and vigorous proclamation of the fun
damentals OF our own cause and tho condl-
tons without which they felt bound TO re-
gard any sort OF peace a mere springboartl
for still more terrible conflict. II IN a
unique opportunity TO acquaint the whole
world with the real Issues.
Tho essence OF the Allies answer must
necessarily be that peace without Justice
Is immoral, and that peace without safety
Is a mere delusion."
The caution Watch out: take care"
sounded by Premier BRAND In his address
10 the French Chamber OF Deputies VIII
also be England's guidance IN scTutiniEing
the German peace proposals.
After the FIRST shock OF the news OF Ger
many's peace plan and the lrst and In
stantaneouB decision 10 reject IL. there came
today. with n strengthening OF thiss deter
mination not 10 make the peace Germany
Graves, the belief that England and her
Allies ought closely TO examine tho cir
cumstapces OF the Teutonio move. Press
and public alike were more than ever con-
vinced today that some German trick" was
behind the protfer.
Most apparent in the German peace offer
10 the attempt to gain tho sympathy OF neu-
trails, An attempt TO create dlssension among
the Entente Allies 10 believed 10 be one con-
alteration OF the note and the ChRneellor's
speech Lastly, the British public believes
the German Government desired 10 make a
play" TO the German people to support the
oft-repeated cry that Germany Is merely de-
Tending herself against enemies who forced
a war upon her, England believes there
is every indication OF popular unrest In Ger
many due 10 shortage OF food and the stag
gering losses OF men and material which
she has undergone since 1915.
Popular approval was smphAtically regis
tered TO the first official answer to Ger
many's bid for peace-mads for France by
Premier Briand. lie spoke 70 the Cham
ber OF Deputies outlining the aims and
policies OF the reconstructed French Govern
msnt, and In connection with that ex-
PLANTATION took occasion solemnly 20 warn
France and her allies 10 watch for the
poison" In the Teutonio offers.
