posed constitutional amendment in
that State:
s!In the interest of good govern
ment and in the interest of the ne
gro race, / recommend that an
amendment,to the Constitution be
submitted to the people providing
for qualified suffrage, based Oh an
educational or property qualifica-
tion or both. A man who has, by
integrity and frngality acquired a
little home, and is a taxpayer,
should be allowed to vote, whether
he can read and write or not; but
he who has for the past thirty
years had the opportunities of free
schools and cannot read. or write,
and who has had an equal chance
for the acquisition of property and
yet has through Incidence or prof
Iigacy or vice, failed to become q
taxpayer, contributing something
to the support of his State, should
have no voice in making its laws"

mEx1co,s FINANCIAL CRISIS
A Panic Precipitated by the ExpoTta-
ton of silver Dollars


Ell PASo, Tex, ec.z1.-The heavy ez-
portation of Mexican silver dollars TO
China and other Oriental countries has
caused a financial crisis Of a grave char
aeter in Mexico. Silver exports have been
made at the rate OF $50 600 per day for
five months and have practically drained
all the silver out of the country
The banks have been endeayorIng to
keep the matter secret but lew days
ago acknowledged the truth and petitioned
the Federal Government to stop the move
ment. George W. Pilsinger, manager OF
the Ell Paso and Juarez branches of the
Banco Minero. the strongest banking
house in Mexico and Chihuahua, stated
today that the Government would place
an export duty on silver to prevent fur
Their drain Silver is the standard money
of the country and nothing else is &C
ceptable in the daily business
1.-THE situation is growing alarming,
said Mr.. EilsingeT. We have millions Of
dollars in our vaults, but no silver, and
many factories and railroads are not able
to meet the weekly pay rolls. The Gov
ernment has been asked 70 :et out the
silver reserve, amounting to nearly S40,-
O00. O00 and Will likely do it this month.
