me for reminding him that he has not
yet explained how he changed those 600
wet votes into dry votes, in that other town,
where the Chief of the Fire Department
locked the DOORS and where the people even
climbed the ire-escapes to hear his speech
and then went dry, stayed dry, and voted the
whole town dry.

MIR. Windle is Worried by What
SsTOm Watson" Said About
His Wet Speech. Sam
Small Brought In.

WlndleSt wet speeches caused a wet town to
go dry.
These innocent remarks of mine appear to
have caused undue annoyance to my Illinois
brother.
am very sorry. Nothing that is printed
In this dirty little sheet is ever intended to
annoy anybody.
Our purpose is to dispense brotherly love-
sweetness and light, pot-liquor and soothing
syrup.
Nevertheless, it sometimes happens that
eleven contrary men get caught on the Jury,
and then [ have to suffer-
You will remember that [ merely quoted
what Windle himself said about the 600 vets
that voted dry, and thus caused the vets to
go down in defeat, after he, Windle. had been
there, and had drawn such a dense crowd that
the Chief of the Fireworks Department felt
it prudent to lock the doors, 40 minutes before
Windle began his Grafton
Windle himself declared, in his Zc0n0cza8t,
that people climbed up the fre-escape to get
chance to hear him speak, although he had
already spoken In that town, on the same sub
ject, twice before
But In spite of all this crush. in spite Of
the locked doors, in spite of climbing of fire
escapes, In spite of Windle's almost unearthly
eloquence, the 600 vets who ordinarily vote
wet, turned dry on election day and voted
dry.
The catastrophe was so very ludicrous that
L couldn't help commenting upon it, in
vein of the very broadest charity and good
will
Notwithstanding my pacific treatment Of
the incident, Windle is sore about it. In fact,
he is worrying over it.
This Of course, grieves me quite completely.
Windle is so anxious to have me understand
that his calamity in that particular town was
all mistake. an accident mere freak of
fortune that he comes out in another piece, in
The Ioonocl0st, to explain how it happened
He begins IN this way
Some time ago the Editor of the Iconoclast
made speech against prohibition at Macon Mis-
souri,, and the city went dry by 36 votes.
Tom Watson heard about it and in his Jeffer-
sOn1an MARBLES thusly:
Brother Windle is the broth of bhoy that
the knights of Columbus selected to answer me,
concerning the do-fnnny religion of the men
who make God in the bakery
Then Windle goes on TO reprint my little
skit about his Macon, Missouri failure
But that was long ago He has not yet
seen what l had to say about the other town
where his speech lost the vets 600 wet votes
When he reaches that editorial of mine, he
will howl
But as to this little failure in Macon Mis-
souri, he proceeds to say
If Mr.. Watson will examine the record he will
find that during the last three years / have been
making speeches in wet and dry fights and that
95 per cent of the places where spoke rolled up
majority against prohibition.
D.
Mr.. Windle must have a queer conception
of how my time is spent If he imagines that
/ would spend three minutes on his record
during the last three years."
Rather than undertake such an arduous
task 7 will ta lzn his word for Il thnt bn hnu

- ONE Idea OF the privilege Of sending pack
ages OF produce and merchandise through
the mails may be gathered from the following
short Item taken from the New York St5u:
FARMERS MAY SEND BOXES OF PRODUCE
WEIGHING UP TO SO POUNDS
Washington, March ia change has heen
made in the rules governing the parcel post that
is expected to result in much larger use of the
mails by farmers.
Postmaster-General Burleson has announced
that hereafter butter, eggs fruits berries, vege-
tables dressed poultry and other articles enteE-
ing the parcel post running from twenty to fifty
pounds in Weight may be packed in boxes and
crates similar to those used when shipment is
made by express. Heretofore such parcels had
to be in such form that they could be placed in
mail bags
Under the new rule farm products such as
those enumerated will not be put in mail bags.
Packages of these articles weighing twenty
pounds or less are required heretofore to be
packed in such manner to be safely handled
in bags with other mail matter
Just think Of that
The country people, living far out from the
town and the railroad, will not have to leave
their homes, travel to the Express Office. and
ship their produce by rail. They won't have
to spend day getting their stuff to the place
OF shipment.
Hereafter. the r. F. D. mail-carrier viii
take those packages, just as he takes your
mail, and the Government VIII do the rest.
Isn't that GREAT?
In every year, millions Of miles Of tgageJ,
heretofore done at a dead loss to the one
hundred millions of people of this republic,
will be saved to them, besides the millions Of
dollars heretofore paid to- the robber Express
Companies
Again, ask, isn't that great?
Next to the r. F. d. system, it is the best
thing done for the general good Of the great
est number of our folks. since the Surrender
Is it possible that any Congressional repre-
sentative, from Georgia, tried to drive knife
into the very heart of that Parcels Post
reform?
Is it possible that REFORM Senator, who
howled ''reform' all over this State and who
was elected as the champion Of the plain peo-
pie against the robber corporations, qcas the
people Of their ho2d-ac0n and ng-dcSired
Parcels Post?
It was just so. Senator Smith of Georgia
clasped hands with such corporation honch-
men as Gallinger and Lodge of New England,
and voted for an amendment to the law which
would have killed it.
This amendment was a Joab stab, and it
was so recognized by the Express Compa-
MES
Every Senator whose record proves him to
be a tool of the Corporations, worked for this
deadly amendment.
IN effect, the amendment proposed to take
away from the Postmaster General the power
to readjust his rates and aoeights, whenever he
saw that the rates and a0eight8 Of the Express
Companies WERE ENDANGERING THE
SUCCESS or THE PARCELS POST.
If they could deprive him of that power,
they would render him unable to compete;
and before Congress could be brought to act in

to hear him, and where 600 vets, who were
really and truly wet and had always voted
wet, turned dry after hearing Windle and
then stayed dry enough until eIection-day, to
vote dry and turn the whole town dry
Maybe Windle himself was too dry. on that
particular night when he spoke in that par
ticular town.
Worrying over this thing, Windle proceeds
to Introduce evidence:
Here few of these cities:
ulinOis-Mattoon Duquoin Murphysboro
Momence, Belvidere, Pontiac, Waukegan
At Waukegan l was asked to appear in the
Union dry meeting held at the Armory, and

been the attorney for the Liquor Dealers Assoca-
ton. have letter from Mr.. Dean, our chair

my speech changed 400 votes" We won by 800
Strange that the result was overlooked by Tom.
Yes, [ overlooked that You see, "NIr.
Dean, our chairman" did not write to me:
he wrote to Windle.
Not being mind-reader, nor necroman-
Ger, nor sorcerer, nor romancer, [ could
not know what "Mr. Dean, our chairman had
written to Windle about the 400 votes changed
by "my speech"
changed the 600 votes from wet to dry.
Or, if it was the same speech. its effects
must depend largely upon time, place,
delivery, and circumstances.
Mr.. Windle says, in his artless way
Il have letter from Mr.. Dean, our chair
man, saying that it was generally estimated
that my speech changed 400 votes"
Mr.. Dean, our chairman, is apparently a
nice fellow: he wanted to make Windle feel
good. But still he did not say ho1o the 400
votes changed. Possibly they changed from
wet to dry, and instead of going wet by Co.,
the town would have gone wet by 1000, if
Windle had not made the speech
My mind will misgiTe me on this matter,
until Windle persuades "Mr Dean, our chair
man" to write to me- and tell me how it was
Continuing to worry over my pleasantly,

Little did I think that Fate was holding
against me such solar pleXus punch as that
"Sam Small, from Toms State" I sur
render. If Sam Small is to follow Windle
and Windle is to follow me, then I am ready
to agree to anything that's reasonable.
But who told Windle that Sam Small is
from my State? thought that Sam belonged
to the entire Republic, if not to the Brother
hood of Nations.
Rubbing it in, as some cruel persons ecd7
do, Windle adds

WHEN UNCLE SAM SALUTED
Made Preparation For Seizing Con.
federate Cruiser In Brazilian Port

A bit of Confederate history Is
called up by the salute-to the-f1ag in
cident, and it shows very small pow
er made a very large power to the
graceful thing. The Philadelphia
Record says that in 1864, after the
United States ship Wachusetts had
entered the harbor of Bahia and de-
liberately seized the Confederate
cruiser Florida, demand came from
Brazil for a Solemn and public"
disavowal of the act, the dismissal of
the American naval commander, a
salute of 81 guns to the Brazilian flag
and the return of the Florida and her
crew. The latter requirement could
not be fulfilled, the Confederate
cruiser having accidentally sunk after
her capture; but every other demand
was met with by President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward. The Record
remarks on the incident that "the
patriots of 1864 were not considered
mean-spirited for showing a decent
respect for the opinions of humanity
and making amends for a wrong
done" Maybe. But about that time
the United States was in pretty much
of a mood to make amend to almost
any and everything, rather than accu-
mulate any more trouble than it al
ready had on hand.-Charlotte OBJ

that South Carolina had been entirely
eliminated from the holding Of the
encampment, the secretary said that
he had nothing to say on that feature
at the present time, but that, as above
stated, it would not be held at the
Isle OF Palms.
Those who are familiar with the
situation and who have kept track OF
this matter for the past two weeks
are positive that no point in South
Carolina will be chosen for the en-
campement. That the Isle of Palms
has lost the encampment because of
the attitude of the governor of South
Carolina is also well known to those
who have kept up with the efforts of
Congressman Whaley, Senator Till
man and others to have the encamp-
ment held near Charleston.

Badger Coins New Motto

From Baltimore Sun.
I'VE do not know what we will be
called upon to do, but we are ready"
Secretary Daniels properly classi-
fies these words of Admiral Badger,
as his ships sailed out of Hampton
Roads for Mexico, as worthy of a
place with the splendid phrases of
other naval heroes. UnconsEiously,
Admiral Badger coined motto that
is a fine one for the whole battle of
life, on land or on sea, in peace or in
war Everything consists In being
ready for whatever may come. Nail
the Admiral's motto to your fore

principle of success.

Gustavo Mas, offered stubborn re-
sistance to the American advance
and for many hours there was fight
ing in the streets. Towards night
fall it was reported that the main
body of the Federal garrison was in
retreat to the westward.
The. demand for the surrender of
Vera Cruz was made at 9 o'clock in
the morning. Consul Canada called
Gen. Gustavo Mas, commandant of
Vera Cruz by telephone and present
ed the demands, saying that the
United States forces were about to
occupy and hold the town. He called
upon him to surrender in the name
of humanity and assist the Americans
in restoring order.
Gen. Mas replied that compliance
was impossible and asked the con-
sui for personal parley.
The consul Informed Gen. Mas
that he had no instructions to grant
a parley and ended the conversation.
He then called the jefe politico and
the customs collector by telephone
and informed them of the prospective
