Xmas Mail For France.

Printed instructions from Washington
with reference to mailing Christmas gifts
to members of the United States eXpe-
ditionary forces in France were sent out
last week and posted in postottices as fol
lows: "Mail by November l5, address
fully and pack caretully.'
1t is the purpose of the Government to
have the gifts delivered by Christmas
morning. Postage on them must be pre-
paid at the 18th zone rate, or II cents
pound. 1t is advisable to have the pack
ages as small and compact as possible
and to have them wrapped so that they
may be readily inspected by the post
master, as no package will be sent with
out the postmaster's certificate that it
contains no prohibited articles.
The prohibited things are few and are
stated to be Intoxicating liquors of all
kinds, poisons, infammable articles like
friction matches, or compositions which
may kill or injure another person in any
way or damage the mails.

The Auditors Report.

The fourth annual report of the
auditors of Frederick county is now
out and every taxpayer ought to get
a copy and read it over, for there are
many interesting things in it.
This report is the most compre-
hensive one yet issued and goes into
details and comments more fully than
previous reports.
The costs and expenses of running
each school is here set out in detail
and it is interesting to note the cost.
The LeGore Bridge stands out very
prominently and we note that we
have about four more years of grind
on us to help pay for this elephant.
Not only do we see how much the
darned old bridge and roads cost the
county, but the fees to attorneys EN-
ployed to help fight the bill and keep
the good natured philanthropist (?)
from getting any more than he did.
BY the way, the fees paid out to the
counsel to County Commissioners in
dicates that this job is one that has
much attractiveness to it, in that an
active attorney who has the opportu,
nifty of giving many opinions can
make neat little sum in the course
of a year. However, most OF the fees
seem to be in connection with the
cussed IeGore Bridge.
AS we have opportunity to study
the auditors report in detail we may
have further comments to make.
We congratulate the auditors on
their work and we hope the report
will be widely circulated and read.

In Special Session.
Congress Has Broken All World
Records For Appropriations.

Washington. Oct. 5.-The sum OF
S2l 800, 730, $40, of which approx
mately S13, ZOO, 100000 is to be used
to put America on an efficient wal
footing, has been appropriated and
authorized in contracts by Congress
for the fiscal year to end June 30,
1918, according to a statement issued
today by Senator Thomas S. Martin,
of Virginia, chairman of the Senate
Committee on appropriations. OF
this the sum of $1,000, 100000 is to
loaned to Americas allies, and APP
proximately 81 ,OO0,O0O,O0O is for
normal Government expenses.
The appropriations constitute the
most stupendous sums of money ever
authorized by a nation in any period
of the world. The total appropria-
tions and contract authorizations. ex-
elusive of the 81 600, 900, 900 for loans
to the Allies, aggregate sl4. .49O, $780,
$40. AS. This sum represents funds
appropriated for the fiscal year of
1918 by the last session of the sixty
fourth Congress and the first or extra
session of the sixty-ffth, now about
to adjourn.
The total appropriations of the last
session of the sixty-fourth Congress
were s1,977, ,21O,200. This money
was authorized before the declaration
of war against Germany. The total
appropriations of the present session
aggregate SIG, ,9O1, ,966, ,S14.91. The
total contract authorizations by both
sessions for the current fiscal year
amount to S2,511 ,553, ,925, making
the grand total s21, 1850, ,730, $40.
While the $1,000, 100000, which
will be loaned to the Allies, is includ-
ed in this amount, it should not be
considered part of the actual ex-
penses of the United States. The
Allies give this country their own
bonds, bearing the same rate of in
terest, as security for the $7,OOO,-
100000 loan, and as fast as these
bonds fall due the money will be
used in wiping out the loan. One OF
the conditions exacted in the huge
loan is that the money is to be spent
in America.
As well as can be estimated, ap.
proximately $4,000, 100000 will be
what this country will spend during
the current fiscal year to equip its
huge war machine. This money in
cludes more than a 81 600, 900. 900
to be used in establishing merchant
marine.

Sour Stomach.

Eat slowly, masticate your food thor

and in most cases the sour stomach will
disappear. If it does not, take one Of

SELECTING MEN FOR OFFICE.
H. E. Scheck advises discreet
choosing of candidates for Office and
a close study of their character. Well,
this is quite a job.
do not see how the average voter
can find time to study all the Candi-
dates OF how he can secure much
reliable information about them.
Considering the number Of offices to
be filled, the frequency Of elections,
the indifference and ignorance Of
many voters, it is no exaggeratiOn to
saw that all our elections are games
Of chance and that they do not eX-
press any intelligent determination
whatsoever.
Prof. A. NJ. Kales of Northwestern
University says on this subject in his
book, Unpopular Government in the
United States: THE task Of the
voter to obtain sufficient infOrma-
ton about candidates long ago
passed beyond what even the very
intelligent citizen could fulfill and
still maintain his place i'll cOmpeti-
tive industry -"--!'-- -.-s
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-03
In the same. book he tells


few years ago, President JUdsOn of
the U. of c. gave a graduate class at
the university, four weeks before a
regular election, list of all the can
diuates for Office on the ballot, and
required them to report at the time
Of the election such facts as they
could ascertain about the candidates
and their qualifications. The result
was, we are told, that with diligent
work on the part of the really ma
ture men in DR.. JudsOn's class a
satisfactory report was turned in
with regard to only a small percent
age of the entire list"
Now, if a graduate class at the U.
of c., with ample time and all exist
ing means of information at their
disposal, cannot find out much about
political candidates, how can the
wOTkingman, who, besides, may be a
foreigner and unfamiliar with this
cOuntry's language and institutions,
acquire any real knowledge concern
ing the numerous OficeseekeTs who
ask for his vote?
In 1912, Prof. Kales says, the bal
lot which the Chicago voter faced
was 19x31 inches and presented SO
offices, exclusive of the presidential
electors, and PSI names, exclusive of
presidential electors, to be voted
upon. l did not count the offices or
names on the ballot of last Novem-
Der, but take it for granted that
they were about as numerous as in
1912.
Politics ought to be reduced to an
exact science. We should vote for
measures, not for men. Men are too
shifting and Changeable. The human
soul or mind is too much of an I'M
known quantity. A very good man
today may be a very bad one tOmOr-
row. Those who seem to be good
may in reality be bad and treacher-
GUS. And no one should be per-
