Abolish Bombardment for Debt Says Williams
John Sharp Williams former House minority leader travels to New York and then Europe. He plans to propose at the Interparliamentary Union session that nations should abolish bombardment for debt, arguing it aligns with disarmament and universal peace. He notes support may hinge on European delegates and cites past policy shifts on debt collection. He predicts a close 60th Congress and ties tariff, trusts, and election corruption to the 1908 campaign.

Fights With Bandits Shielded Express Treasures On Rails
A nostalgic recounting of Wells Fargo torch battles on the western frontier. Messages tell how early stagecoaches and later rail cars faced roving road agents, with shotgun messengers guarding treasure, famed rescues, fatal duels, and dramatic cagey schemes across Bodie, San Andreas, Coffeyville, and beyond. Notable feats include Haswell's defense during the Dalton raid, Tovey’s courage, Evans and Sontag's reign, and Roberts's siege using a car barricade, culminating in explosive ambushes and long battles.
