Beau Monde s" idea of the kind OF

politics is dirty business il is because
clean men are not doing their duty by

Men who have convictions and who are
honest should, of all men, be interested

how a man can be good citizen and
refrain from exercising his suffrage IN
the interests of good government.
There is altogether too much of dis
position to refrain from taking an
active interest in the political affairs
of the nation. Its fruits are seen IL

The Nashville American is entitled to
credit for the following good suggestion:
.In the Democratic primary in David
son County last spring no poll tax re-
ceipt as prerequisite to voting was
REQUIRED. Thousands Of citizens voted.
Thursday 1t was necessary to have a
poll tax receipt before a ballot could
be placed in the box. As result, few
votes we're cast. As further result,
the school children were deprived OF
thousands of dollars. Is it not high
time for the Legislature to amend the
primary election laws so as to re
quire q poll tax receipt to make a prl-
mary voter eligible? The primary IN
Davidson and many other counties de-
cides public officers. The regular cleo
ton lie a mere form. Therefore, the
primary should have every safeguard
thrown about it that is thrown aroup !
regular elections.
