Of the state democratic commit
tee, | shall use every effort to
have the state committee in the
next campaign lay down the law
for every county in the state as
We had IL in Marshall. | intro
ducel the following resolution in
.our last democratic county con-
vention, which was adopted unan.
inously
The democracy OF Marshall
county, in delegate convention
assembled, having conducted
their own primary elections in
compliance with the provisions Of
the statute, rejecting all votes
save those Of qualified electors,
desire fa place themselves on re-
cord as condemning the method
understood to have been pursued
in various counties OF the state,
through which, in the interest Of
individual aspirants, the votes of
negroes and others than demo-
Gratis, have been accepted and
counted. thus defeating the wishes
Of loyal adherents OF the party,
ara subverting the objects De.
signed to be attained through an
honest primary election.
We believe it to be the duty,
and within the power of the state
democratic committee, to examine
into and correct the wrong at
tempted to be accomplished
through the action Of counties
that have countenanced these ir-
regularities, and call upon the
committee to call new primaries
in the counties known to have ig-
nored the law
Very truly yours,
GEO. c. MYERS.
This is the correct doctrine, and
it should be enforced not only for
political but financial reasons.
The letter and spirit Of the fran
chise clause Of the constitution is
that no one snail be permitted to
vote who has not paid his taxes;
and while criminal prosecution
for the non-payment of poll tax
is forbidden, the publications now
being made in several newspa-
pers Of the state, show that there
are thousands, white as well as
black, who are delinquent for poll
tax, and yet great numbers Of
these we're permitted TO vote in
the late primaries on the simple
staten nj that they were dem
ocraLs, The result Of the pri.
mary being conclusive as to the
choice Of the people no one should
be permitted TO vote therein who
is .uOt qualified electoc. The
enforcement of the law. as ex-
pressed by the democracy Of Mar
shall, will not only add thousands
OF dollars to the school fund, but
| will be more satisfactory to those,
no matter whar uAe!r party affil-
iation may be, who discharge
their obligations to the state.

EFFORT WAS WASTED
Pa Told His Son a Nice Little story
with . Moral, But It Was
UnavailfnC.

I overheard couple of wellknown gen.
tlemen relating their experience in domestic
affairs a few days ago. One of them said
his boy was inclined to devote too much
of his time to athletic sports and neglect
his studies, while the other found his boy
devoting his energies to master half dozen
different musical instruments, which was
the cause of his negecting duties assigned
him to perform.
81 took the boy aside" said the parent,
"and told him the following story: A grass
hopper wasted all the cheerful days of sum-
mer skipping gayly about in the fields and
enjoying himself, while the prudent ant
improved each hour by gathering food and
storing it away. When winter came, and
the thermometer registered in the vicinity
of zero, the grasshopper approached the
ant for the loan of provisions.
But the ant said: What were you do
ing all summer?' oh, singing and dancing,
said the grasshopper. oh, we'll, chop ice
now, said the ant. so the hungry grasshop-
per went away and dropped dead from cold
and hunger. I thought the moral of the
story was too plain for me to make further
comment, and as was about to leave it
with him to think it over the little fellow
looked up and said: That's all right, pa,
but there seems to be just as many grass.
hoppers.'
