little trade.
Then, too this postage Is going
to come out, of the merchant, as
there is always some merchant who
is looking for the other fellows bust
ness and who will do that much to
get il, and the others would be com
PEELED to the same. Also, there are
those W no are poor or very slow pay
and whom the merchant at a dis
lance can know only by having bust
ness with them, and they are sure to
be source of annoyance aud loss.
1t is very plain to the merchant
that this parcels post law is frame
up to make him bear the burden of
the postal deficit, rather than the
ones who should bear it. Not only
this, but general parcels post is
just as sure to follow rural parcels
post as day is to follow morning,
and this would cause the same gen.
eral upheaval In the wholesale and
retail trade as free trade would with
the manufacturers. 1t would be
placing the local retailer and whole
saler in the same competition with the
low quality sweatshop goods which
are carried to such an extent by ex-
elusive mail order concerns and
which that protective tariff protects
these manufacturers from in relation
to the foreign-made goods, as well as
afording a way for irresponsible
people-of whom we still have a
plenty out of jail-to sell cheap and
nearly worthless goods by mislead-
ing advertising at big profit to
themselves and a grea: loss to the
buying public-for we have great
many more that do not know how
to buy than we have that do.
Local merchants as a whole are
honest and intelligent men and col
lectively do more to make the pros
porous commercial body we now
enjoy than all the concerns or par
GELS post can or ever will help to
make. Our burden is heavy enough
now, without having all the trade
lecehes of the cities turned loose at
our expense to drain the little that
is left to make our business worth
while, and to take away from us and
our families the business we have by
honest methods built up. We pay
our taxes for the purpose of provi-
ding improvements that will be of
benefit to the public and also to
have laws made that will protect us
and the business that supports us.
We know, as does every othes class
of men, that . parcel-post must work
a hardship upon us that a great
many of us at least cannot stand
and would in turn work the same
relative hardship upon the CONSUME
ers whom the advocates are mislead-
ing into believing that it will benefit
them. Hence we appeal to our rep
resentatives in lawmaking to work
against it rather than for it.
Let the postal rates alone and as
the country becomes more thickly
settled all over, they will work out
all right in natural way.

Harlem Tommy Murphy at the end
of twenty rounds Of lighting before g.

The Chicago boys victory over the
tough New Yorker, whom 90 per cent
of those present expected him to knock
out, was clean and left little room for
argument but the rank and file of ex-
sperts and fight followers seemed unani-
nous in the belief that as an opponent
of Champion AID Wolgast the Chicagoan
was an impossiblity. Hence his vic
tory over Murphy left tinge of dis
appointment among fight followers
which they were not backward in ex-
pressing
Mcfarland and his handlers declared
that he had broken his right hand in
j the twelfth round, and clrrsory ex-
I animation at the conclusion of the bat
/ tie showed that member to be badly
pulled and swollen. but of this the pub

filed out of the arena
If he really broke his hand, Packey
fought a wonderful battle. Murphy. on
the otner hand, gave an exhibition OF
gameness and ability to come back
rarely seen in a prize ring.
During the early rounds Mcfarland
fairly smothered the little Harlem

GRAND PRIZE WON
BY BRUCE BROWN
Makes New Record in Fiat
Car; Goes 74.65 Miles
an Hour.

Savannah, Ga, Dec. Flying fast
er than the biting wind that swept the
frozen racecourse. David J.. Bruce
Brown. the young American million
aire, yesterday established a new
worlds record for automobile road
races by winning his second Grand
Prize race at an average speed of 74.66
miles an hour His average last year
over the same course was 1856 miles
The supreme honor again went to
American driver plotting a foreign
car, but this year it was an Italian
Fiat instead of German Benz that
carried Bruce Brown to victory. His
elapsed time for the 411.36 miles was
5:31:29 1900.
Bruce Brown captured the greatest
American trophy only after a fierce.
nerve racking struggle in which Eddie
Hearne. driving a Benz, was second.
two minutes behind. in 5:33:3s 100
and Ralph De Palma third in 5:34:4o.
No mishaps involving life or limb
married the running of what proba bly
will be the last of these classic races
at Savannah.
OF the sixteen foreign and American
racing machines which darted away at
8 a. only six finished The others
could not undergo the tearing endur-
ance strain and were eliminated from
time to time by the breaking of vital
parts. American drivers demonstrated
superiority over the foreign pilots. The
/ result was surprise, as neither of the
two favorites was in the running at
the finish
1 Victor Hemmery, the Benz driver,
who was heavily played, was not con-
! tender after the seventh lap Louis
Wagner. the other favorite, withdrew
! his Fiat in the fifteenth lap.
! Interest of the spectators in the lead
J ers was so intense that the few minutes
/ necessary to drive the twenty third lap
dragged like hours. Bruce Brown was
1 the first to appear. His car whirled
| into sight, flew around the grandstand
curve and again out of sight Eddie
Hearn flashed by the judges stand one
minute and thirty seconds afterward
In vain the spectators shouted and
walled for Milford, but the winner OF

KENOSHA CLOSED TO
PRIZE FIGHTERS

kenosha, Wis, Dec. Boxing pro-
motors in Chicago who have been plan
ming to hold fights in kenosha received
another jolt today when the sheriff of
kenosha county, Andrew G. Stslhl, flat
~ refused to issue a permit for a bout
between Johnny Coulon and George
kitson which was to have been pulled
off here on Dec 8. The sheriff declined
to discuss his action more than to state
that similar action probably would be
taken in other cases of similar ma :
ture.
