The Telegraph Service The great indictment to be brought against the private telegraph mono- @oly of this country is that it fails to serve the public. The people have allowed a few men to sell this great dgvice for bringing the ends of the eountry close together. In their womplacent way the people have sup- ®osed that the teleghaph in private @&ands is doing all that could be ex- pected of it. It is true that the aver- age individual seldom uses the tele- graph. It is unfortunately true that dn the majority of . homes in' . this oountry the arrival of a telegram is SOUNG- MOTHERS-THE.

Tie Englishman can drop a stamped ~telegram in a letter box. Presently it,is picked up by the carrier and telegraphed to its destination. The Englishman pays a cent a werd, with a 12 cent minimum, for this service. And the service rendered is so rapid that Londoners frequently telegraph social messages within the City in- stead of using the telephone, That is because England owns her telegraphs having bought them when the Eng- lish peopls grew tired of submitting to the private monopoly. Prior to buy- ing the telegraph lines the British People were subjected to the same high rates and inadequate service such as characterize the American lines today, and gambling business messages practically monopolized the ‘wires. The people had little use of them. Today in England social mes- sages constitute from 50 to 60 per <cent of the total business. With less than half the population of the United States, England sends more telegraph messages. Government ownership has given the people ac- {ual use of the telegraph wires.
