A Few Postal Facts
GR0sfnn Heraldl

II you want to build something In
wood, a carpenter can do the job inn
measurably better than you can. as
Stunning that you are not a carpenter.
And so on. down the line with the
plumber and the surgeon and the
architect and the barber. There is
one task. however. which you as an
amateur. all by yourself. can per-
form far better than the agency
which has had a monopoly of it for a
century. That task is the carrying
Of letters.
BY utilizing public conveyances,
just as the postoffice does. between
one suburb and another OF Boston
you can deliver a letter in a few
hours. You give that missive to the
mails and it will make delivery the
next day. 1t is exceedingly rare that
a letter posted at one Of our suburbs
reaches another before another day.
II you carry a letter in person to
any destination in New York YOU can
beat the postoff1ce by five hours; to
Washington you can beat it by ten
hours. And yet people wonder what
we mean when We say that the Am
erican postofice is inefficient. II
ought. by the use of pneumatic
tubes-against which its responsible
heads make war-and other quicken
ing devices, SO to expedite the mail
that the individual on foot would be
| distanced in the race. Had the
| American postofiice been under the
same management as the telephone
or the automobile industry, or any OF
| the other great examples of private
enterprise. the contrast between its
performances and those which it now
offers would be prodigious.
And to think that the establish.
ment which does this work so badly
as this, should have to juggle it:
books, failing to make certain large
| entries, in order to avoid showing q
deficit Of 100000, 900 a year, At ev.
cry point on the line, the postofice
/ Is beaten by private distributing
agencies. The government has COM
planned of its great losses in the car
rying Of newspapers, and yet tht
publishers are reaching a very small
percentage Of their patrons in thi!
way. The news distributing agencie:
which grow up out Of ordinary trade
and commerce are immeasurabl!
more speedy. and not more costly.
| These facts are worth taking intt
accoun, when we are confronted with
the proposal for the transferring o.
other and larger services. from pri'
vate to public hands. Do YOU thinl
