Is THIS 4 SOUTHERN
DEMOCRATIC WAR?

Lord Northclire. in s recent ar
ticle. proved conclusivsly that democ-
racy was poor war maker. We won
der what the eminent English iourn-
alist thinks now that he has seen the
democracy" of this country. at hrst
hand. shackled as il is by self-center-
ed and selfish southern interests?
To pass lightly over the subject ot
the present draft which fsrors the
Sosth. and to ignore the fact that
Germany is indirectly receiving sup
plies Of cotton from the South. simp-
" consider the direct and tangible
eyidnce OF Southern financial Co
operation" in this war. At the marx
Ell price for cotton about eleven mill
ion bales would bring nearly bill
ion and a half dollars for the lint cot
ton. At present prices the cotton
seed would bring about three hun
dred and thirty million dollars ad-
ditional. In 1914 the cotton farm
ere received from four 10 six cents
for their cotton. In 1917 they will
receive from twenty-six 10 thirty-fiVe
cents. No district in the world has
received the benefit from the war that
the Southern states have. with their
cotton product, and yet eur South
ern statesmen have secured absolute
Protection and immunity for this in
dustry and not a penny OF taxation
upon il. This fact is all the more
impressing when We note that there
is no embargo on cotton, nor is there
likeiy to be. Is this a Southern
Democratic War?
Perhaps this explains little more
wildly what it means when the Dem
ocrats Of the North aid in turning
over the direction of government and
financial affairs to the Democrats OF
the South and the radical West, the
former interpreting loyalty as com
plete immunity for the Southern
States from the burdens imposed by
