JUDGE TILLMAN AND THE COT
TON TAX BILL.

4 large assemblage of Manassas
and Prince William people, as we'll as
many from some of the adjoining
counties were present at the celebra
ton of the 10th birthday of Gen
Robt f. Lee, at the court house here
on Friday Jan. 10Th. Hon. John Y
Tilman NJ c.. of Arkansas, was the
principal speaker of the occasion
Congressman Tillman was accompain-
ed by his wife.
Judge Tillman was introduced by
Judge Hutchinson as the gifted son OF
Arkansas, man who travels; in his
travels goes upward, accomplishing
great things. He was at one time
President of the University of Arkan-
sas, Circuit Judge, State Senator and
now representing the Third Congress-
ional District of Arkansas in the Nat
ional House of Representatives Mr..
Tillman is native Southerner, whose
parents gave their service to the South
In the course of his splendid speech he
captiyated the audience in manners
and fearlessly spoke the truth without
malice or harshness, He said he had
many things to be thankful for and
was proud of his Southern heritage,
proud that he was a American citizen,
proud of his privilege of addressing
people who followed Lee and Jackson
and who had the honor of claiming
Robert (. Lee as an honorary member
in its memorial association. lie show

acknowledging election to member
ship of the Ladies Memorial Associa-
ton of Manassas, but his proudest
moments as citizen of the United
States will be when the Government
shall give back to the South through
the surviving Veterans and widows
what is known at Cotton Tax. =
Among other things he said this is
right, this is justice:
'The apporation requested IS not
asked as charity. have no dispisi-
ton to stand as a representative of
the old Confederate soldiers, poor and
manned, as most of them are, and ask
a donation for them | would dis
honor them if | should stand in Con
gress like a Sinking, fawnlng men
dicant, cap in hand, and ask a gift
for them or IN Their name.
1t is not pension that | am ask
ing, it is payment, it IS not charity,
but justice. 1t is not a gift; it IS a
reparation It is not an advance; it
is return. 1t is tZlargess; It IS
conscience money.
An acceptance Of the speech was
manifested by the popular little white
cotton tax bages enthusiastically
floating throughout the audience.
and by the adoption Of resolution
offered by G. A. f. man that the
entire assembly adopt this bill. Some
one was heard to remark after Judge
Tilman's speech that if the whole
country could have heard his argu-
ment the bill would go through with a
whoop.-Monassas fVa.1 Democrat.

1t is no light matter to break off dip

Such step can be taken only with
full recognition of the momentous
consequences that may be involved.
The breaking of relations is not itself
war But it is the next door to war
and history has shown that war al
most invariably follows.
In the action taken yesterday this

1t was no sudden resolve that was
carried out when diplomatic relations
with Germany were sefVered. From
almost the beginning Of the war it
has been evident that the German
government was on the verge of a
ruthless use of submarines in disre-
gard of the principles of humanity
embodied in international law The
destruction of the Lusitania with hun
dreds of Americans on board fore
shadowed the final outcome
That outcome was delayed by pro-
tracted negotiation. 1t was not to be
averted. What caused the eventual
decision can at this time be only sur
missed, Apparently Germany has de

Dear Editor
There IS certain school
teacher somewhere IN the northwest
part of the 9TH congressional district
of Arkansas who appears to be greatly
worried about the school equipment
of Arkansas He has pointed out the
fact that only few counties OF the
state have the superintendent that tn
people generally do not seem to care
whether their children get any edu-
cation or not, and further that there
are only two or three states OF the
union but leads Arkansas.

states in education as well as other
lines of industry Property has more

wears. The school tax has been

say to this teacher that there IS no
