the Mississippi legislature by the peo-
| pie of his county. -
Mr.. Taylor located in Pine Bluff
in 1887, and two years later was
chosen without opposition to be prose-
cutting attorney, position he held
for three consecutive terms, He was
| elected temporary chairman of the
Democratic state convention in 1896,
| and was made delegate to the ma
tional Democratic convention. He
was PERMANENT chairman of the state
convention, in 1910, being chosen with
out opposition. = -
The Democrats of the Sixth con-
grcssional district of Arkansas nomi-
mated Mr.. Taylor for congress Fin
March, 1912, and he was duly elected
without opposition to be a member of
the 63rd congress, to succeed Senator
Joe T. Robinson. Congressman Robin
son resigning to become governor, Mr..
Taylor was elected in January, 1918,
to serve the unexpired portion of%Mr.
Robinson's term in the 62nd congress.
Congressman Taylor was recently
nominated for second full term, his
vote being testimonial that the peo-
pie appreciate his service and his con-
scientiousness; for Mi. Taylor re-
manned "on the job" at Washington
during the entire campaign.
Before entering congress, Mr.. Tay-
lor was an active member of the firm
of Taylor, Jones & Taylor of Pine
Bluff. Though the firm name re-
mains unchanged, the congressman
has taken part in no private practice
nor participated in the revenues of
the firm since he became member of

LET'S HAVE A PATRIOTIC
DEMONSTRATION.

Isn't it about time to begin arrange
ments for great patriotic demon
stration in Pine Bluff on July 4?
The Graphic understood that organ
lied labor of Pine Bluff contemplated
arranging for celebration, and was
glad, because patriotism is thing OF
the people and no organization repre-
sents the masses better than the labor
unions.
Never was time more appropriate
for display of patriotism by the pco-
pie of the United States. And Pine
Bluff, which enjoys peace and pros
perity, owes it to the nation and to its
friends in Southeast Arkansas to ar
range for demonstration on the an
niversary of the birth of the United
States.
An america First parade,
chorus to render patriotic airs, an
address or two on what America
stands for, and several talks by
foreign-born citizens on what Amer
lea means to them and how it is
looked upon by the people of their
countries would furnish entertain
ment as we'll as instruction for old
and new Americans.
Some of us who we're born under the
Stars and Stripes do not realize fully
our good fortune until we converse
with foFeien-born citizens, and have
them tell us of difference in condi-
lions, of the greater opportunities
here for the poor man, and how thou
sands and thousands look to the day
when they can sail for the Promised
Land of the United States of America.
BY all means, let's have Fourth
Of July celebration this year.

There will be many friends of Con-
gresham Taylor to send him con-
gratulations today upon the occasion
of his Gath birthday anniversary.
The congressman is in Washington,
where he has remained constantly
since the beginning Of the present
session, and has rendered loyal service
to the Democratic administration and
to the people of his district, especially
in the matter of upholding the presi.
dents hands in the international crisis
and in obtaining federal relief for
flood sufferers, and having included
in the rivers and harbors bill, now be-
fore the senate, appropriations for
the improvement of the Arkansas
river, and bank work at Pine Bluff
and Little Rock.
Samuel Mitchell Taylor was born
in Ittawamba county, Miss, and was
educated in the public and private
schools of that state. He was admit
ted to the bar at Tupelo, Miss, in
1876, and even at that early period of
life he began looking toward Pine
Bluff. Three years later he was hon
ored by Miss Mary Bell Of Pine Bluff,
who consented to become Mrs. Taylor,
and in the same year was elected to

TIPPING ELDERS
IN SUNDAY talk
Defends Woman Suffrage,
Total Abstinence and
Pleads for World Peace.

Tipping elders" were condemned
by William Jennings Bryan, in an ad-
dress before 5000 persons al At
lantic City, N. j., Sunday afternoon,
when he spoke under the auspices of
the temperance committee of the
Presbyterian church. He spoke of the
great work for temperance accom-
plished by the Presbyterian church,
bu; added:
II want to say that l think the
Presbyterian church will have diff
Guilty converting the world as long
as it has tipping elders
While he was speaking an aero
plane passed overhead and the at
tention of his audience was diverted.
Newspaper reports state Mr. Bryan
plainly was displeased, hut won back
his crowd by saying that just as
those who go up in aeroplanes do so
at their own risk so it was with
young men who take their first
drink.
In the evening Mr.. Bryan addressed
a gathering under the auspices of
the Sabbath observance committee in
the First Presbyterian church, and
the edifice was crowded one hour be-
fore the meeting began. Another
speaker was John Wanamaker, who
is commissioner from the presby-
terry of Philadelphia. The presiding
officer was James Yereance, of New
York, chairman of the committe.
Defends Woman Suffrage.
Mr.. Bryan defended woman's SUI
frage and total abstinence and made
plea for world peace. He said:
"The day is passed when man
has to get drunk to be a Democrat.
The time is coming when both of
the parties must realize they must
get rid of the selfish mercenary
group who make money selling whis-
key The great Christian church of
this land should be unit against
war. l believe God has designed tho
United States as peace maker. They
have built dreadnaughts and SUPER
dreadnaughts, and now they are
searching the dictionary to find
names to apply to ships bigger than
of peace on their ability to terrorize
each other And peace should bel
built on love and brotherhood" i
Mr.. Wanamaker in his address said
when he was postmastcrgener he

making 1t possible for the closing of
many postoffices on Sunday. He stat
ed he hoped the time would come
when all unnecessary Sunday work
would be abolished
Mr.. Yearance stated to the meet
ing that Mr.. Bryan had come with
out pay" and Mr.. Bryan in response
said:
ut is an outrage that it should have
to be announced that give my SER
vices free. l have always done SO
when addressing religious meetings.
1t is modification 10 me to live
in a country where the newspapers
lie so.'

The alien who comes to the United
States, becomes naturalized, then re-
turns to his native land and violates
its laws deserves no more considera-
ton from the United States than to
see that he has fair trial. There is
no occasion to become excited over the
punishment of jeremiah C. Lynch, the
Irish-American, convicted in Dublin
of completely in the Irish rebellion.
While we disapprove of the execution
of any of the Irish patriots, we can
see no reason for America to bestire
itself more for Lynch than for any of
the other unfortunates.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT AND
PREPAREDNESS.

Senator Ben Tillman attacked the
proposed rivers and harbors appro-
priation Of $4,000, 900, charging it is
pork and declaring:
"While South Carolina has items in
It amounting to 100000 shall vote
against it and hope that it will not
become law. We need the money so
much for more important things that
II il criminal, to my mind, to discuss
this bill at all. Think Of it! Forty
million dollars to be wasted and taxes
to be heavily increased. That forty
millions would build two battle
cruisers. No one knows how many
submarines it would build, and l can
only guess how many airships and
other things of that sort we could buy
with IT,"
The senator's attitude is warmly
commended by the New York Herald,
which says:
Seldom has statesman of any
party in congress in recent years
reached the lofty height to which this
experienced legislator has assembled.
No such measure as Mr.. Tillman de-
nounces has ever passed congress ex-
cept by log rolling by being, as
Senator Lodge put it, made to pass.
Held together by the cohensive power
Of public plumber state delegations
swinging into line for their particu-
lsr piece Of pork the money is taken
out Of the treasury by means which,
II not projected by congressional en-
actment, would cause indictments for
ma1feasance in office. So lar as Mr..
Tillman Is concerned he will have
none Of II, and he will be 4 bold sena-
tor indeed who now rolls the pork
barrel bill up to the white house for
the presidents signature"
Both the senator from South Caro-
lima and the New York Herald are at
least consistent, which is more than
can be said for the majority of those
opposing the rivers and harbors ap-
preparation. Westerners and some
fasteners object to the items for
flood prevention in the South and i'm
provements to Southern streams, but
are silent as to appropriations for
maintenance Of the upper Mississippi
river. the Fast river in New York, the

benefit to the nation to accrue from
reasonable expenditures for flood pro-

Though we approve preparedness

realize that $20,O00,0O0 expended for
flood control and river improvement
where actually needed in the Missis-
sippi and Arkansas valleys will pur-
chase more real preparedness than
the same sum put into one battleship.
To advocate otherwise is to display
