ing that he has paid his poll tax
for this year before January LIST
1903 and that of next year, before
January 1st 1904, when he goes to
vote at any of the important cleo
tons of 1904.
This is the situation which now
confronts every voter in the State,
and in the face of it what is the
voters plain duty?
To PROFOUND this question is to
answer it, for it admits but one
answer; to pay the poll tax within
the times prescribed by the con-
stitution.
This is the plain duty of every
suffragan; it is an imperative duty
imposed by the privilege OF citi-
zenship which ne enjoys. AS a
citizen invested by the sovereign
power of the State, the people,
with the precious prerogative and
invaluable right of suffrage, the
solemn obligation rests upon him
to exercise that right honestly and
judiciously, with view of promo
ting the general good of the CON-
munity, whenever the occasion
calls for an expression of the will
of the people at the ballot box. 1t
is an obligation which no one may
shirk; its responsibility every suf-
fragan must meet. To refuse, nay,
to even neglect to vote, is to fail
to discharge a most sacred duty
which one owes to his country, to
his fellows, to himself and to pos
terity,-a failure which can not be
justified, as is often attempted to
be done, by a so-called lack of in
terest in the result of the election.
Under our republican form of
government the people are the
sovereigns; they rule; they name
their officers from president down
to ward constable; they accom-
plish this by the ballot; the units
the individuals, vote, that is, make
known their will, their choice, and
the majority decides the issue.
Since it is d preponderance OF
units in favor of one side over the
other which forms the effective
majority, it is manifest that every
unit, every vote, counts; and as
every vote counts 10 summing up
the result, it follows that all the
voters bear an equal responsibility
in the correct solution of every
question submitted to them. This
being the case, no suffragan car
, justify himself in neglecting Oh
, refusing to vote, any more than be
could in neglecting or refusing to
discharge any other civic duty.
+. Now, if it be the bounden dut!
of every voter to exercise his sa
cred right of suffrage, it is als'
I his bounden duty to qualify him.
self to do so by complying will
the registration laws and othe
laws. It is therefore his boundeI
duty to pay his poll tax in time.
4 Let every voter acquit himsel
of his duty without delay. Tn
time is short; practically only two
more weeks remain. There is n
L time to lose. Reader, if you hav
not already done say, pay you
J poll tax now. Do more; see tina

) boris neighbors also pay theirs.
