Pay Your poll Tax.

There is no particular incentive
for the average man TO pay his
poll TAX this year other than a
desire to be good citizen and
help support the government
which protects him and his prop
erty. There will be no other
elections in San Angelo other
than the city election to choose
three aldermen. That is, there
are no Others scheduled
This being the case, the Press
is justified in the prediction that
the number Of poll taxes paid this
year will be smaller than that Of
last year But you men to whom
the electorate should be trusted
are the very ones who will neglect
to pay your tax, 1t is you who
are too busy to give the subject
the proper attention and whose
neglect will defeat the very pur-
poses of the Terrell election law.
You may depend upon it that
the men into whose hands you
would never consent to see the
affairs Of government fall, will,
every mothers son of them, as
promptly go up and pay their poll
taxes as the proper officials are on
hand to attend to the receiving of
the money. And here is where
you will make your mistake, You
will do it every wear except when
you have some friend to urge
upon you the Importance of at
tending to this matter. And you
are the ones who will complain
that the country is going to the
dogs. You are the men who say
that the elections are bought and
who will charge other gross irreg-
ularities.
Did you ever stop to think
about these things? Did you ever
realize that while you are playing
the role of Citizen Fixit the other
fellow is playing you for fool
and Is qualifying himself rs a
legal voter? And the other fellow
Is invariably the one whose voice
is heard the loudest III the shout
ing when your pet scheme is lost.
Business men of San Angelo,
you can not afford to remain idle
and allow yourself to become dis
franchsed. You have the welfare
of your town at stake. There will
be measures to come up before
1905 will have passed into history
in which you should have II voice
and a vote. Do not neglect the
very important matter of becom-
ing qualified voter. The books
are open until the last day of
January, but do not wait until
then to attend to this paying of
your poll tax, Do it now. The
man whose important role in pol
tics you resent has already done
his part and if you do not get
busy you will not get II voice in
the affairs of government.

 Mrs. Wsstbrook lived in south Alabama in the early da.'s of the state, living near some of the Creek Indians. I used to make a practice of going to her room during these later years ''between dark and the daylight and have often heard her tell of her visits to the home of the Indian chief.
