To Pay Poll Tax Before Voting.
The white voters of Louisiana are
dissatisfied with the law of that state
requiring every man to pay his poll
tax before he can vote. This require-
ment was placed in the state consti-
tution to prevent the colored voters
from securing control of all the state
offices, it was thought the negroes
would not pay this poll tax and in
consequence could not vote on elec-
tion day. But it has been found that
many whites also fail to pay the tax.
and the politicians are now clamor-
ing for the adoption of an amendment
to wipe out the poll tax clause.
“The people of Texas,” says the Fort
Worth Register, “have now offered
them for consideration a proposed
amendment to their constitution that
will put in force the same condition
that has been found so unsatisfactory
in Louisiana. They are to vote upon
this amendment at the regular No-
vember election. In this state, where
the negro vote is not feared, the pur-
pose of the amendment is not declared
to be the extinction of that vote, but
the exclusion from the polls of all cit-
izens who do not think enough of their
electoral franchise to pay for it That
is the whole of the argument. Now. if
there is a voter who believes that no
man should have a voice in the po-
litical conduct of the state unless he
has paid a dollar poll tax for that
privilege, the opportunity is soon at
hand for him to assert himself.”
We believe the poll tax law is a
good one and one that will result in
the elimination of a very large and
corrupt vote on election day. If the
Texas constitution is so amended as
to make it necessary for a man tp
pay his poll tax before he can vote it
will save thousands of dollars to can-
didates for political office in this
county. Every time we have an elec-
tion of any kind in El Paso it is nec-
essary to raise a big campaign fund
to buy the votes of herds of men who
have no interest in the community
and would never be willing to pay
poll tox six months in advance in or-
der to be able to vote on election day.
Favors High School Graduates.
A recent order issued by the man-
agement of the Santa Fe railroad
should have the effect of helping the
boys of El Paso and other western
Bities to get a high school education.
An Associated Press telegram sent
out from Chicago on the 14th of this
month says:
“High school education will here-
after be of advantage to young men
who desire to enter the service of the
Santa Fe railway. The management
of that company has instructed heads
of departments that where positions
are to be filled high school graduates
shall be given the preference."
For several years past very few boys
have graduated from the El Paso high
school. From 75 to 80 per cent of
the graduates every year are girls.
The boys are generally taken from
school and put to work just when they
have reached that stage in their
studies where they are beginning to
receive permanent benefits from their
schooling. It is a serious mistake
on the part of parents to take their
sons from school at 16, 17 and 18
years of age to put them to work in
a store or office. In those places they
will, no doubt, learn something in one
particular line of business, but their
last year in the high school they are
learning that which will be of incal-
culable aid to them in every line of
business.
That a large corporation like the
Santa Fe road should issue instruc-
tions to give high school graduates
preference over all other applicants
for positions on that system is evi-
dence that the managers of the road
have given careful study to the mat-
ter and have made some practical
of the high school.
Parents should give their boys an
equal chance with their girls. Instead
of taking the boys oat of school and
putting them to work at the first Job
offered, let them remain at their
studies until they can graduate with
their sisters from the high school.
We trust that the announcement made
by the Santa Fe management will en-
courage parents and their sons to
stick to school until the boys have se-
cured their diplomas from the high
school. It is a mistake to imagine
that a fair knowledge of mathematics,
grammar and of spelling and the
ability to write a legible band is all
the learning necessary to a successful
business career. True, some big busi-
ness successes have been achieved by
men whose education was limited to
being able to write their own names
and to read with understanding the
market reports and a business letter,
but these are exceptions to the rule,
and are generally the favorites of pure
luck. All other things being equal
the educated man has every advantage
over his uneducated competitor.

The High Cost of Building.
El Paso is ppt the only place where
building is being to some extent re-
tarded by the increased cost of build-
ing material. The Pittsburg (Pa.)
Times says:
“The building inspector in Pittsburg
reports that building during April of
this year was less than during the cor-
responding month of last year, evi-
dently because of the high prices of
materials. Without doubt cost has
much to do with the curtailment of
building, for it is but half a dozen
years since building materials were so
cheap that prices now compare un-
favorably. Lumber, brick, iron and
steel, nails and other essentials have
advanced. The prospective builder
figures on the cost and then looks to
the future in the hope that prices may
come down again. Prices of some
things may, but other things are likely
to remain high. Lumber has been con-
sumed at such a rate in the past half-
dozen years that the forests of Penn-
sylvania are unable to satisfy the de-
mand any more. Expensive lumber
may be looked upon as the rule in the
future. It would not be surprising if
iron and steel remained higher In the
days to come than they were in the re-
cent past, for the increased uses to
which they have been put make a de-
mand on the supply for repairs as well
as for new construction. A decrease
of building operations may shade
prices off somewhat, and thus encour-
age activity again, but it is hardly to
be expected that building will decrease
sufficiently to make a great difference
in prices, or that the advanced prices
will hinder many who can see a profit
in it continuing their building opera-
tions in spite of the cost.”
To the casual observer it may not
appear that the high price of building
material has had any effect on El
Paso's building boom, as every build-
ing contractor in the city has about
all the work he can handle. But there
are many people whq would build
residences to rent were the prices of
building material the same today that
they were in 1896, but as it is, they
are waiting to see if prices will go
down.

Mayor Hammett of El Paso says
professional gamblers in the border
city must get out of sight. It is need-
less to add, perhaps, that the coin of
the tenderfoot will go with them, even
unto the ends of the world.—Houston

Yes, the coin that is looking for an-
other man’s game always has and al-
ways will l>e able to find it, in Houston
and Boston as well as in El Paso.
The Headlight is advocating a cur-
few ordinance for Deming, and says
that such an ordinance would keep
the boys of that town at home at
night and prevent them from loafing
around with evil companions listen-
ing to profanity and lewd songs in
houses of questionable resort.
“Gentle Annie” writes: "Please tell
me how to drive a horse with one
arm." We never saw a one-armed
horse. Annie.—Baltimore American.
To this the Topeka Journal answers
that while Annie may be shy on gram-
mar, she evidently knows what she
is after.
Senator McLaurin has lost out in
South Carolina and will not be a can-
didate for re-election. The people of
that state demand that their senator
must be either a full Hedged democrat
or an outand-out republican. They
do not like the half-and-half kind.
When Mrs. Carrie Nation was taken
to the Topeka jail the other day she
said she submitted willingly because
it was God’s will. That being true,
the thing is unanimous and there is
not a dissenting voice to the arrange-
ment.
An attempted printers’ strike at
Roswell, N. M., is the subject of a

Prohibition in Kansas was twenty-one
years old on the first day of the cur-
rent month. Having “come of age,’
it is “old enough to vote,” but it isn’t
old enough to prohibit. There are
more than 3,000 federal liquor licenses
in Kansas, or about twice as many
as there are in Georgia, notwithstand-
ing the population of Georgia is far
greater. That is a pretty good illus-
tration of the relative temperance
value of prohibition and local option.
