We lay before readers very interesting document
from the pen OF Judge Woodbury. of the Supreme Court
of the United States 1t presents very comprehen-
sve view OF the post office system, and parts of it
sketched IN very eloquent terms. 1t exhibits the
most astonishing evidences of the progress of our
country and, indeed, of the age ITSELF the immense
Importance OF this institution the people, and its
ierful extension in the course of few years Who
does not therefore, agree with Judge Woodbury. in cap
precatng the importance of protecting an establishment
OF so great and useful character the community at
large" We commend to the careful attention of our
readers the arguments by which this opinion is en-.
forced and the manner in which the laws attain their
object
Few things show distinctly the 60 ahead powers
OF our country than the expansion of the post office SYSTEM
and the rapdty which have attained in the Transmission
OF the mail. Perhaps we have another illustration
still more striking: In 1927 we had the pleasure of
ing Governor Kent OF Maryland, and his suite, in Bos
ton He had visited that place for the purpose of in.
speeding the Quincy railroad which had been constructed
for the purpose of transporting the granite from Mr. T.
perknss quarry to Boston, not than two or three
miles long. This road, and the short Mauch Chunck
railroad in Pennsylv for conveying coal short dis
lance from the pits, then the only two railroads
in the United States. The Quincy cars were also
moved by small ponies, steam being then unknown in
railroad transportation. These were the two small
germs from which the system has since grown up in
the United States. Governor Kent wished to see this
road. to form idea of the manner in which the
Baltimore and Ohio road was to be constructed NoW,
Massachusetts is covered with web of railroads
Now, the United States provided with more than 900
miles of railroad Such are the astonishing improve
mens that have been made in tsnty years. Such is the
advancing spirit OF our country!
