sense
these men in earnest No sacrifice was too
great tor them to make personally if by\t they felt the
cause of all they were advocating could be advanced
But the designing politician gained commanding position
in their ranks. traded their good intentions for positions
TOR himself and finally became the rock upon which the
party was reeed and finally was destroyed The
principles advocated BY this great army however, still
live and it is some qualification to those who have long
since laid down their arms and become disgusted with
further eHor to successfully battle against the great odds
OF treachery and monopoly against them to realize that
here and there Of their demands have borne fruit
lhe hand OF the corporate rant not nearly so reen
less, not SO defiant il was before this agitation
1t is lamentable reflection however that the same
traitors who worked deliver the Popuist party to its
enemies are still at work. seeking at every oppor-
tunty to deliver their localities where they may
be OF weight in primary. and they hesitate not to
promise these deliveries advance to their avorites Of
whom they only ask few declarations that will appeal to

gress though the northern states had been enjoying rural
free delivery mail service for years. such thing as rural
route in Mississippi scarcely known. He realized
the advantage such service would be the farmers Of
his district and work to secure for them the
privileges enjoyed by other sections Of the country
By persistent endeavor he has secured the establishment
Of in round numbers 130 rural free delivery routes in
his district over which now more than 1900 farmers
have their mail brought daily their DOORS The salaries
paid by the Federal government to young men to carry
this mail aggregate S108O0O year and gives employ
ment to l30 young men, who draw an average Of $500
each, which makes handsome addition to the revenues
OF the district entirely from an outside soIrce and paid
out for improved service.
People who know Mr.. Hill intimately appreciate the
fact that as member Of congress it is results for his
constituents he desires rather than homage at rhe hands
OF from New York and other states who have no n-
erest whatever in common with the people Of this section
He has spent his time preparing long wnded speeches
nor in making presidential nominees nor in shaping the
destines Of the Philippines in contemplating the
possibilities Of war with Japan or any other foreign
land but rather has contened himself as sensible faith
ul representative study those things which will come
closest home his people and secure the largest
possible share Of them Referring again to the above
figures, it will be seen that during his terms in congress
Mr. Hill has, through his intercessions to develop the
mail service, brought into this district practically million
Of dollars in the way Of salaries and the consolation is
that the system thus established continuous stream
OF money coming the future Of less than S125O00
annually.
