The Champion Liar.

1t will be recalled that Mr.. NJ. L.
Peery stated last week in his interest
ing letter about Florida, that one of his
companions, Mr. w. Il. Williams, had
held his "Liars License" against the
field for years in many a hot contest
and refused on this expedition to sur
render the same to either Joe Meek Oh
himself. His right to hold the license
and the justice Of his claim as the
Champion Prevaricator, may be in
ferred from statement he makes in a
letter to The (Mt. Vernon, Ill) News,
his home paper. Here it is: ''You can
catch three hundred pounds of fish an
hour with single rod and reel.

rifle at distance of 400 yards. They

the title he holds. what would?

THE PARCEL POST.

The time has arrived III The
history Of this nation when a
Parcel Post Bill is imperative
ly necessary.
The National Farmers
Union has declared itself in
favor of the Bill. Third As
sistant Post Master, General
Hitchcock, is in favor of the
passage of such a Bill. Pres
ident Roosevelt does not op-
pose the passage of the Bill,
but every indication points to
the fact that he 81 in favor of
it. The National Ressl s.sss..
Carriers association is il fa8
vor Of a Parcel Post Bill.
If you should ask us who it
is that is opposed to the Pro-
posed the Parcel Post Bill We
would answer the Express
Companies and their informed
or uniformed supporters.
The amusing EpartYof this
situation is that you will find
a few retail merchants through
out the country that are fight
ing the Parcel Post Bill.
There is absolutely no reason
why we should not have the
Parcel Post Bill. The argu-
ment that it will allow q few
mail order houses to impose
on the farmers is an absolute
farce, and no one makes that
argument except the person,
or persons, who are promoted
by the benefits to be made out
of the great masses Of the peo-
pie by not having a Parcel
Post Bill.
AS a National Legislative
Committeeman, and as the
National Farmers Union has
already endorsed the Parcel
Post Bill, | earnestly ask that
every local and County Union
Throughout the jurisdiction Of
this great organization pass
resolutions asking Congress
to give us a Parcel Post Bill \
send a copy Of such resolu-
tions to the Congressman
from your District. Send one
to your United States Sena-
tor and send one to the Pres
ident of the United States.
Do this at once and we viii
have the Parcel Post Bill
without q doubt.

Today the toiling millions
groan in their novels, shiver-
ing with cold and want, clad
in rags and hungry for bread,
while the gambler in the pro-
ducts of the farm, the thieve,
who dictate prices, the poll
ticians who rule this land
and their allies who with
their unlawfully issued bonds
money loaned them for the
purpose, all with ease and
self-complacency, sit in idle
ness and ease, thinking how to
continue this theft and vii
lainy, little dreaming of the
great and awful Volcano that
is heating underneath them,
that will sooner or later burst
forth with such fury, that
those who behold it will wish
they had never seen an i'll

an unearned mouthful of

We are now engaged In a
fight to the death and that
death means death to our
boasted American freedom or
death to the Capitalistic
Mastery, and if we, as free
men, don't bring about a
change by the greatest revo-
luton of ballots that this ma
ton has ever seen, there will
soon come a revolution In
this country that will
make it the dark spot of the
world and it will be one of the
has-been nations, instead of
the proud nation that some
people are want to call it to-
day.
In Union there is strength,
but today there are 10000
angry men where there was
one 20 years ago. " And who
knows what mad men are go

been heard from? A change
must and will come some way
and that change should be
made by ballots next year

on as not tool Of corporations and
trusts.
In speaking of the greed for
money and the extremes to which
people will 60 to obtain it, he said:
When we look to the leading
cause for this great wealth upon
the part Of these great corpora
tions and the causes leading
to the formation of the
trusts, we are compelled to go no
further than republican authority
itself, and take the sworn testimony
of Mr.. Hayemeyer, the great sugar
king, who has gone to his reward, !,
be it good or bad; who has gone to
that land and that cline where ST.
Peter does not take sugar in his !,
land where money is Of no value.
| Wllat is needed today by the
trust magnates Of this union in or
der to make them respect the law
and obey its solemn mandates, "
he said, lis that they be treated
like ordinary felons, in that the
strong arm of the law be laid
/
against hem just as it would be
against horse thief, or any one
else charged with crime. Land
them in the penitent ary; place fel-
ons' stripes, the doxology of a mis-
spent life, upon them and you will
see that the trusts are busted and
the people get relief. All, sir, one
trust magnate in the penitentiary
Of the United States, one trust mag
nate with felons's stripes, one trust
magnate as a living example and
object lesson that law is greater
than any man, that law is above
and beyond us all, that law pro-
tects the weak and Furnishes the
strong alike would be the most
wholesome example that could be
set in this republic today"

of the government: "Our Presi-
dent, and | speak Of him in the

salary Of $50, 900 a year, and / say
that is not excessive, is paid by this

Beginning of Speech.
Senator Davis began his speech
Iby declaring that it was not his
purpose to retain his seat in the
senate until his hair shall have
grown gray before taking up his
work actively in that body. He
proposed to present quickly, fear
Ilessly, and as intelligently as he
might, some Of the living, burning
Questions before the American peo-
Iple.. 1t was for that reason he had
determined to speak upon his bill

Washington, Dec. IL. Senator
Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas, went
to the capitol today carrying a
large dress suit case filled with doc
uments he wished to have on his
desk for reference during his speech
on the trust.
When Senator Davis secured the
floor and began his address all Of
the senators, both republican and
democrat, were in their seats, and
they gave strict attention to his
remarks.
The galleries were filled with
spectators.
Senator Davis delivered a pas
sionate address. After declaring
that his bill vigorously enforced
would kill the trusts, with dramatic
effect, he challenged any senator
to step forward and contest the
issue with him. AS he proceeded
he showed great emotion, and his
voice trembled. His words rang
with resounding effect throughout
the chamber.
Speaking of the annual appro-
priation for the expenses Of the
governmentamounting to $500, 600
600, he turned to Senator Bever-
idge and added: pile it up on this
floor and let my good looking young
friend, the Senator from Indiana,
start to count it. He would be as
old as Methuselah before he could
count half Of it. Z
The senator detailed appropri-
ations made for maintaining the

tinued, President Roosevelt has
