I am fully convinced the gov

tricity in some form. To receive
letters and other mail and store
them away for shipment in bulk,
more or less slowly, once a day,
or even every hour, when wire
and a telegraph instrument or
telephone might connect the
major part of the postofiles,
seems an antiquated anomaly.
The mail and the telegraph are

to a large degree of social life,
and the private monopoly of
either system must go, and go
