Vote For This Amendment

July "a the people of Texas viii vote upon six cons-
tutional amendments One is of particular interest to
the people of El Paso and all this end Of the state 1t
is amendment the section describing who shall be
entitled to the suffrage in Texas It contains clause
which has momentous significance.
The proposed amendment especially designed to
grant the privilege Of voting outside the precinct of
residence under certain restrictions Such is
deemed necessary and desirable But that is only the
less important significance Of the amendment.
The real importance of the amendment is in the
clause which for the first time limits the suffrage
Texas citizens In other words under the existing
constitution it is possible for foreign born persons to
vote if they shall have taken their first papers"
declaring their intention to become citizens. Under the
proposed amendment, this privilege IS withdrawn, and
the suffrage is restricted to those foreign born persons
who shall have taken their full naturalization papers
The full meaning of this is not at apparent.
But really enaets for this end of the state the principle
Of the Boehmer bill, establishing hteracy test for
voters. The Boehmer bill passed the legislature under
the Coquitt administration and vetoed by him.
By margin it failed to pass the last session.
But it always was and is desirable for the
protection of the ballot in this section of the state
Under the proposed constitutional amendment, the
teracy test becomes operative through the application
Of the national statutes Of naturalization. This will

vote In this part of the state
The amendment should carry by an overwhelming

SUNDAY school picnic is a meth

4 \ a Sunday school teacher.
Sunday school picnics cannot be held
in uncivilized countries because the
teachers are too likely to massacre the
pupils before evening. It is a great
risk, even in America, which is so kind
hearted that it allows the Mexicans TO
Kill each other off by thousands rather
than TO hurt their feelings. Many
young men have been fine characters

and in an evil moment chsperoned
Sunday school picnic. Afterward they
have disappeared from polite society
and train rObbing has become much
more prevalent in that vicinity.
The object Of a Sunday school picnic
is to keep the boys from getting into
the lunch before dinner time and from
getting into the mOrgue before night
one large man with q club could pro-
tect the dinner and few fathOms OF

Sunday school picnics aren't scientific

Auto Owners Had
Better Watch Out

II you're an auto owner, you'd bet
ter watch out. From the regularity
with which notices of rewards for
stolen cars come in to the local police
station, gang must be operating, or
a whole series of gangs, in this and
surrounding states.
Scarcely day passes without notice
being received by Chief B. F. Phillips
of a reward for car stolen in some
section of the country Five such no
tices were hanging on the hook for
the chiefs inspection this morning
Practically all of them announced re-
wards. One was for Ford stolen at
Hillsboro, Tex. on July IA; another for
a five passenger Cadillac, stolen July
10, at Joplin. Mo-; another. a Ford
roadster, taken from Drumright, on
July Is; another Ford was taken at
Oklahoma City, on July IA. and REQ
the Fifth was stolen at Wichita, Kan,
July Is.
One thing that every auto owner
should do, authorities declare, is to ex-
anime his car closely for slight marks
in order to be able to give accurate
descriptions to officers in case of
theft.
