Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product Of this great COM
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems Of this nation crown
the industrial achievements Of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born In the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are Of American nativity and
while warm from the mind Of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun q network Of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history Of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development ana usefulness ana
none has ever exerted q more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy Of two distinct types Of
American genius-invention and organ
iSation.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
iect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. It IL the most perfect fruit
Of the tree OF American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, It thrills every patriotic

There may be some satisfactory

The main reason why it has not come

In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy Of American men
and industries In the worlds Affairs
and perptuate an appreciation Of our
marvellous Industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
Of the age are engaged in the prob
lens Of transportation. and the great
est men in the history Of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems Of the United
States.
In the discussion Of transportation,
let US consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation. and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service. the cheap
est rates. pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed Of the railways of the
world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius Of our marvellous
builders, and most Of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in
vestment Of capital than any other
branch Of human activity. The miie-
age in the United States exceeds
