Itesdlneaa to use a niuattel In de-

of course. Hut patriotism Imposes
other duties than that. One's patriot-
ism la put to the teat on going to

owos bis country aa honest vote. But
again the easting of an bnneat vole

One owes hla conalrr also an Intel-
ligent vole. Hla ballot must eipreoa a

One of Snyder's great assets is the
Southern National Highway a piked
automobile road running from Wash-
ington D. C. to Ban Diego Califor-
nia or In other words extending from
the Atlsntlr to Ihe Pacific coast
touching a Isrge number of cities
and towns. Including Snyder. It Is
estimated that at least twenty' thru
cars automobile go through here
each day slopping at the filling sla-
tlona and at the garages. This Is a
demonstration of what energy nervo

pllah. Through Ihe Instrumentality
of the Young Men's llualness league

Saloon League are both opposed to
the constitutional amendment pro-
viding for a law to compel foreign-
ers to become cltlscna before they
may vote. Their argument la fired
at that part of the hill to allow
traveling men to vote away from
borne. They argue that auch a law
would make poaalble for men to go
from box to box aud raat fraudulent
votes but they seem to overlook
Ihe chsnce that Is open now and
Industriously practiced by herding
Mexicans over Into border counties
In Texss and voting tbetn under their
promise to tako out naturalisation
papera. Newspapers are receiving nu-
merous printed stuff opposing the
voting away from home of traveling
men. but the promoters keep allent
as to the other feature of the pro
posed amendment.

out purports to be an expression

find only 46 who will oppose the
