National Honor.


If the present war can Drlns
about an era of lasting peace, de-
stroy the friction existing between
nations, cause the powers to disarn
and draw up treaties which shall
make It compulsory for every nation
to refer dispute to a tribunal OF
the powers. then there is at least
sone consolation for the loss in
population which the war Will
cause.
If every dreadnaught will be dis
mantIed, every army dissolved and
all the terrible instruments Of war
cast aside, then will the nations OF
the earth have some cause to be
thankful that the European War oc-
Cured.
The present war is going to DEM
onstrate the utter folly of nations
1esorting to arms for the settlement
of disputes Some Of the belliger-
e1ts will be enriched by the spoils
OF war, the addition Of territory and
the glory,-the GROWING glory o.
a conquest at arms, gained at the
expense of thousands Of lives,
thousands OF widows, thousands OF
fatherless children and thousands OF
poverty-stricken homes. Thi; is in
deed glory!
The price paid for UNFOLDING ma
Iicnal honor is a dear one. A huge
war debt is accumulated and hang
over the country like pail for
years. Prosperity is trodden under
foot, and the sorrowful figure OF
Want ambles through the land,

which are not destroyed. The ma

LOONEY EXPLAINS
USE OF POLL TAX
otter Must show Certificate Was OBJ
tanned in Legitimate Manner
Before Voting.


Austin, Tex, July 23.-Attorney gen
eraI Looney gave out the following
statement with reference to the use Of
poll tax certificates:
Poll tax receipts illegally produced
do not qualify the holder to participate
in an election, even though the receipt
upon its face shows to be regular. and
whire it is known to the election Of
ficers that the poll tax receipt was
where another person had paid the poll
tax OF the holder, or where the holder
had borrowed the money with which
to pay his poll tax. such persons so
Offering TO vote should be denied the
privilege.
IF a person has not paid his poll
tax in person or by his agent IN legal
and constitutional way and within the
time prescribed by the laws of this
state he is not a qualified voter and
his ballot when rendered under such
circumstances. even though he holds a
receipt, is Illegal and should be re-
fused If his name does not apear
upon the poll tax list Of the county,
as certified by the county clerk, this
is very good evidence that such person
is not the holder OF q legitimate tax
receipt and the duty is incumbent upon
him to show beyond question to the
election judges that he obtained his
poll tax receipt in a legal manner, that
he paid the money for his poll tax
within the time and at the place re
off the name from the tax roll should
be clearly and satisfactorily estab-
Iished, under oath to the election
