complimentary character, and l have
never given it serious consideration.

shall try to represent the State as best
I can. That is all 1 desire at the hands

MANY MEANS OF COMMUNICATION

If the use of the various means of
communication is to be considered as a
measure of civilization, this country
certainly appears to an advantage when
compared with Europe. The last figures
obtainable are for the year ending Janu-
airy /, 1905. or letters and postal cards
each 1000 persons sent 6.719, as COM
pared to 29.554 for Europe. In the mat
ter of kilograms each 1000 Americans
sent 1899 messages for every 791 rams
mitted by Europeans. But it is in the
matter OF telephone messages that the
Inhabitants of the United States far
surpassed those of the Old World.
While each thousand of population in
the old country sent 1854 messages by
the telephone, each 1000 Americans sent
a., 344, or more than six times as many.
