Age Not a Hindrance

THERE has been a commendable zeal manifested in the circulation of petitions against bills pending in Congress, 230,000 copies of the Liberty Extra having been ordered to date, and we have assurance that all these have been judiciously distributed, and the petitions generally circulated. The spirit of our people generally throughout the field is characterized by the following report concerning the work of one of our aged brethren:—

“I just received a letter from W. F. Fickel, of Blue Lake, Humboldt Co., Cal., who is ninety-one years of age. He secured 54 signatures against the press bills now pending in Congress. If all our people would manifest the same interest in proportion to their energy and age as this man did, certainly there would be something doing in this country.”
