THE controversy between the Post
master General and the president of
the Western Union telegraph contin-
ues. Wanamaker says, so far as he
can figure it out that the Western
Union has had a very good thing out
of the government so far, and Green
says that they have not. If the Wes-
tern Union has not made Uncle Sam
pay the piper it will be the first in
stance in the history of that anacon-
da when it failed. With about 81 600
900 original capital it has maintained
its managers in luxury, rolled up
wealth for its preferred stockholders
and counts its property to-day worth
500, 100000. Pretty good returns
from the investment. In all this it
has paid the government nothing for
the use of the national highways.
