ations however, no one has come to have such
dependency placed upon 1t by the national gov
eminent as has the telephone. Certain it is
that there would be occasion for universal sur
prise were 1t possible to compile statistics that
would show what proportion Of the government
business is now transacted by telephone.
Every federal official, from the president to
the most subordinate of the nations public
servants has telephone on his desk, and con-
siderations of time saving and monetary econ
omy, to say nothing Of the conveniences, impel
the almost universal employment OF the In
Simultaneous" communicative system. It has,
to great extent, displaced the mails and tele-
graph. Washington, our national capital, Is
famous as the "best telephoned city in the
world" and it Is likewise known far and wide
as the "City of Magnificent Distances
circumstances which combine to influence
heavy dependency upon the telephone by the
10000 federal employees at Uncle Sans head
quarters. More than this, however, the execu-
tive branch of the government Is coming to
rely more and more upon the telephone for the
transaction of official business between the
seat of government and federal Offices in 9TH
er cities. Aside from this extension of long
distance telephone operations, Uncle Sam,
thoroughly abreast the times, is now conduct
ing practical experiments with wireless tele
phony.
Perhaps the most convincing evidence that
could be offered of the degree of dependency
which Uncle Sam now places on the telephone
is to be found in the attention paid to the In
stallation of telephone facilities In the new
$4,000 Office building recently completed for
the use of President Taft and his business
staff Ever since the Spanish-American war
the telephone room at the executive Offices has
been considered one Of the most important
features of this model business establlshm ent,
but the equipment of the reconstructed White
House annex is infinitely superior to the tele-
phone facilities in the old structure, and is, in
deed probably the finest and most complete to
be found in America-that, is the most notable
that has been provided in any private resi-
dence or corporate business office, or else
where than in the up-to-date telephone ex-
changes in our largest cities.
The new telephone room at the White House
adioins, on one hand, the general staff room
the working quarters of the presidents clerks
and stenographers- on the other hand, the
office of the secretary to the president. Just
