MORE POLL TAX AMENDMENT TALK.
Dear News- I notice in issue of 27th,
in your comments upon the action of
the Supreme Court of 'Arkansas in de-
ciding: that the law of that State requir-
ing: a poll tax payment as a prerequisite
to vote was unconstitutional, you say,
It is thought in legal circles that the
law on the Texas statute books that is
almost identical to the Arkansas law
will be tested in the not distant future.”
The legal circle that thinks such a
thing is likely to occur must be rather
a weak circle, for the Texas law is a
part and parcel of the Constitution,
and was made so by an amendment
submitted to the vote of the peo-
ple at the regular election in 1902. The
amendment, as adopted, was self-acting
as soon as adopted by a vote of the peo-
ple, and needed no other legislation to
put it in force. See amendment sub-
mitted by legislature in 1901 by joint
resolution. A Lawyer Reader.
In the above our lawyer friend makes the
statement that “the Texas law is a part
and parcel of the Constitution, and was
made .so by amendment submitted to the
vote ©f the people at the regular election in
1902.”
That our poll tax law was intended to
be made a part of the Constitution, we ad-
mit, but whether or not it was legally done
that seems to be a mooted question.
With reference to the mode of amending
the Constitution, article 17, section 1, says:
. The legislature, at any biennial ses-
sion, by a vote of two-thirds of all the
members elected to each house, to be en-
tered by yaes and naeson the journals,
may propose amendments to the Consti-
tution, to be voted upon by the qualified
electors for members of the legislature,
which proposed amendments shall be
published once a week for four weeks,
commencingatleast three monthsbefore
an election, the time of which shall be
specified by the legislature, in ’one
weekly paper of each county in which
, . such a newspaper may be published;
ana it shall be the duty of the several
returning officers of said . election to
open a oollfor, and make returns to the
, Secietary of State of the number of
legal votes cast at said election for or
against said amendments; and if more
than one be proposed, then the number
of votes cast for or against each of
them; and it it shall appear from said
return that a majority of the votes cast
ha\e been cast in favor of any amend-
ment, the said amendment so receiving
a majority of the votes Cast shall be-
come a part of this Constitution, and
proclamation shall be made by the gov-
ernor thereof.
Now, in 1902, the poll tax amendment,
which was submitted to the people upon
the recommendation of the legislature in
1901 by a joint resolution, received a ma-
jority of the votes cast for or against that
particular amendment, but it did not receive
a majority of all the votes cast, a large
number of the voters not voting either wav
on the amendment. Hence, the contention
of some lawyers in the State that the
amendment has not been legally adopted.
-Almost the identical question having
arisen in Arkansas, whose constitution is
said to be very similar to ours, and the Su-
preme Court of Arkansas havirg held the
poll tax amendment to the Constitution of
that State to be unconstitutional, it has
caused the question of the legality of our
poll tax constitutional amendment to again
be raised, and there is some talk in legal
circles of testing the matter at an early
date.
Should the question be presented to the
Supreme Court, it is to be hoped that the
law will be held to be constitt^ionally
adopted, but if it cannot properly be so
held and the court is compelled to declare
it unconstitutional, we are in favor of sub-
mitting the question to the people again,
confidently believing that it would receive
a large majority of all the votes cast.
BARRETT VS. RAN0ELL.
The people of this congressional dis-
trict are destined to witness a pretty
and snappy race for*congressional hon-
ors. Senator Barrett, Fannin county’s
candidate, is very popular already, and
as a mixer is excelled by few. On the
stump he is a power and in debate he
can always take care of himself. Col.
Randell is also a good mixer and a fine
campaigner. Mr. Barrett has already
made several appointments, and expects
to present his views on the stump in
every precinct in the district, This an-
nouncement will doubtless bring Col.
Randell home at an early date. The
fight will be good-natured, but inter-
esting to the finish. — Honey Grove
Signal.
You are right: A fight to the finish it
will be. And when the battle of ballots is.
over on July 28, Victory will be perched up-
on the banner waving above the Barrett
hosts, and the fourth congressional district
will have a new congressman—a man who
is not afraid for the people to know on
which side of questions, vitally affecting
the people of this district, he stands.
Old Fannin’s candidate is in the race to
win, and win he must!
Let the Barrett forces begin to muster!
An Indiana woman has become the moth-

ily of the Texas woman

convention in Kentucky. When he was
called on to report for Texas, he said: “My
delegation represents Texas, the grandest
State in the Lnion. The first white wo-
man born in her borders js yet living—anc
now she has a population of 3,000,000.
The system which permits the issuance
of free passes by railway companies has
bad features about it, we admit, but about
the worst feature of the whole affair is this:
Too many demagogues ride into office on an
anti-free pass hobby. We long for the time
to come when the people will refuse to heed
the voice of anti-free pass demagogues who,
by crying out against the fevil, hope to walk
into office, and get-a good fat job, while
the “dear people” pay the bills.
The candidate who has no conscientious
scruples when it comes to spending money
to bring about tiis election, is a very dan-
gerous man, indeed. He should never have
entrusted to his keeping any public trust.
Just as sure as he gets into office, he’s go-
ing to do his b^st to develop his “graft”
proclivities, and if he is not constantly
watched he will become a prince among
grafters. One of the very best things
about the Terrell election law is that por-
tion of it which requires candidates for of-
fice to file sworn statements giving itemized
accounts of all money expended, and for
what purpose. We sincerely trust that this
law will be strictly enforced, and that those
guilt\ of its violation will be given the
severest penalty. It’s time such disgrace-
ful conduct were stopped in Texas, and
everywhere, for that matter. Merit, not
money, should be the standard by which we
measure men-especially when they be-
come candidates for office.

Free passes may be bad things, but we
know many other things that really affect
the welfare of the general public far more
than the issuance of free passes by rail-
roads, and, according to our view of the
matter, the representatives of the people in
official positions can much better serve their
constituency and their country by address-
ing themselves to those things than they
can by riding a free pass hobby. The
country has been afflicted with anti-free
pass gush now until it is beginning to have
a good case of that “tired feeling,” and the
majority of the people, we believe, are be-
ginning to have their eyes opened to the
fact that in too many instances the would-

The Russian girl, Mile. Spiridonovna,
who killed the chief of the Gendarmie, re-
cently made a statement before the author-
ities justifying her acts. She recounted
how hundreds of her fellow-countrymen had
been killed by his ordefs, how she herself
had been stripped naked, beaten, burned,
her virtue violated, and then admitted that
for these she kitted him. Then she added:
In spite of all the horrors to which I have
been subjected, I am happy in that I be-
long to the ranks of the protectors of the
people, and that I am to die for thier cause.’
Can it be that she is but a fanatic, when
she thus shows all the heroism of a patriot
and a martyr?

One morning last week Jas.
Shiels received, through mail, a

five hundred dollars under the big
railroad bridge above town, re-
quiring that the money be de*

threatening to make it cost three
times that much should he fail 10

showing t-hat it was mailed Mon-
day evening between Leonard
and Denison on the North bound
train. It was signed Will, Tom
and Jim. It bore a Greenville
date and was mailed in a Beck-
ham Hotel envelope.
An effort was made to locate
the writer of the letter, but no
satisfactory clew was developed
and the matter was dropped. It
is hardly necessary to add that
Mr. Shiels did not deposit the
$500, neither has any further ef-
ort been made to force him to
do so. Unless some evidence is
secured that will locate the guilty

The Word “TmriaS"
The word tariff has an Interesting
origin. It is derived from the Arabic
ta ’rlfa, meaning an inventory of fees
payable on demand, and became cur-
rent in the following way: A certain
Moorish general, by name Tarifa,
seized in the year 710 upon a small
seaport some twenty miles from what
is now Gibraltar and the southernmost
town in Europe. Here he founded a
station for levying toll on all craft

stowed his name upon the place, after
