He was one of the originators of the rural free-deHverv service, in which fact he always took a just pride. His... last speech on the floor of the House, February 19, 1907, was devoted to this subject, and he re\iewed the origin and growth of the rural free-delivery service from the beginning and its beneficent influence upon the people.
