United States who had preceded them.
They FAD a grip on the interests of their
association which was broad in scope and
complicated In detail. They displayed an
enthusiasm for their work in itself, which
would have led lrrestibly to the conclusion
that they worked well, had this not been
known otherwise. They put to shame
hundreds of other conversions by singing
America" through each day. Singing it
through" Everybody can sing the first
verse, half as many the second stanza,
but those men knew 1t all and sang 1t with
unrivalbed fervor.
The rural letter carrier has had from the
start to contend with much more than ap-
pears at first sight. 1t is easily understood
that the bad roads of a great portion OF
the United States have been a continual
handicap to him, that storms and dust and
a dozen other hardships Of the kind are
encountered the greater portion of the year
and for days at a stretch. This is easily
realizable. This, however, is not all. The
service has had to meet an obstacle Of a
less obvious kind, economic suspicion and
hatred.
The wholesaler and the country merchant
fought the service at its inception and
fought 1t with all the political influence
and that is a good ~deal-which they could
bring to bear. In spite of this, the service
thrived. 1t proved itself a necessity and
were it suggested that it should be done
away with, the twenty millions Of Ameri-
cans now served by the rural free delivery
men would unite in a demonstrating pro-
test.
Moreover the jobber and the country mer-
chant no longer opposes the country post
man. Many of them have learned that
speedy communicates between vender and
patron will hurt no one in the long run
and that the country merchant can now
