Vote for the Poll Tax
Amendment.

The amendment to Article 19e
OF the Constitution of 1898 has re-
ference to the poll tax require
ments, and its adoption by the
people means that hereafter the
franchise shall be free and unpur-
chasable in the State. We are
opposed to the poll tax require
ments, first, upon the ground of
the vicious principle that it in
wolves, and secondly because it
drives out of the electorate thous-
ands of good and worthy citizens,
who are amply qualified to exer-
else the franchise-who are just
as qualified as those who pay the
miserable privilege fee, and who
belong to that great mass of our
citizenship which has been FORE
most in all the far-reaching and
important reforms in the history
of popular government.
We have noticed that the mere
indignation caused among the
people of st. Mary parish, since
the poll tax requirement became
enforcible, has deprived us of
hundreds of substantial voters
practical men-those who have
been in the past the producers of
the wealth of all States and ma
tions, and some of them advanced
in book learning and the problems
of industrial economy to degree
unattained by men of the great
est affairs; and We take it that we
can ill-afford to deprive these peo-
pie of the elective franchise.
We do not believe that the abil-
ity or inclination to pay q dollar
into the school or any other fund,
should be considered in the estim-
alton or worth of citizenship; it
should be solely the voters un-
derstanding of things-his native
common sense that should be
looked to. If he be capable of in
telligently exercising the fran
chise, he ought to be accorded it,
without further restraint.
AS to the appropriation of the
revenue thus exacted to the COM
mon schools, we admit that it is
for good purpose; but the same
amount of taxes can be easily
raised upon property by the
slightest adjustment in assess
ment valuations, and without
oyer-stepping the provisions of
the law.
The Democratic party of the
nation is now engaged in des-
perate encounter with the money
power; it is the principle feature
Of its present campaign. And if
It is ever to win the good fight, it
must be done with the votes of
he great common people, the
suppression of whose voice at the
ballot box has been the direct and
cause of the overthrow
# all forms of popular govern
nent down the long glade of the
,ast.

A report to the Picayune, of the

Several years ago q young man
in a small Ohio town conceived the
idea of adopting the theatrical
profession. He did so and was
very successful. He was engaged
to marry a girl at his own home,
and one June day when the flowers,
the trees, and even the very air
breathed of love, he came for her,
hut her parents, descendants Of the
grim old puritanic stock that burn
ed poor helpless women at the
stake through ignorant supersti-
ton, refused to allow their daugh-
ter to marry an actor. They had
naught against the man but would
not brook his profession, and the
same Implying relentlessness that
steadied the torch in their fore
fathers hands caused them to
light the fires to funeral pyre of
the young couples hearts. But
blooded and impulsive the young
man threw everything to the winds
and took to drink; soon it had
gained such q hold on him that he
was unable to retain an engagement
with q company. The pace grew
faster until one morning he awoke
to find himself q tramp-drifting
about from place. He one day
landed in q small Indiana town.
There was little repertoire COM
pany billed there. That night
they were short an actor, so he
dressed up and put on for the
part. His first entrance brought
him face to face with the leading
lady, his old sweetheart. Around
this pretty story, Lawrence Rus.
sell has woven one of the cleverest
plays in q "a Millionaire Tramp"
that has ever graced the stage and
Elmer Walters magnificent pro-
duction of it makes the play q de-
Hghtful oasis in the desert Of mod.
ern theatrical conventionalities.
