“YES, TOM WATSON DID IT."
The following letter is received:
“Will you kindly answer, when convenient,
through the Evening Journal, the following
questions:
“Who, more than any other man, made the
greatest fight to introduce the system of rural
free delivery? Did not Thomas E. Watson, of
Georgia, lead the effort for an appropriation
to give the theory a trial?
Atlanta, Ga., Thursday, April 11, 1907.
(Editorial brom The New York Evening Journal.}
“Your judgment in the matter will be highly
appreciated. Yours truly. W. C. ELLIS.”
1 homas E. W atson made the fight for free
rural delivery. Ihe farmers of the country are
already greatly indebted to him. They will be
more deeply indebted to him later on, when
the nation shall have brains enough to use the
postoffice for the public benefit. When that
time comes the rural free delivery will be the
backbone of the great parcels post system of
the United States.
Businesss men, farmers, manufacturers, all
classes, will profit. The would-be monopo
lists gouging the public through excessive ex
press charges will suffer, and they ought to
suffer.
We are very much obliged to Mr. Ellis for
giving us this opportunity of acknowledging
W r atson’s service to the public in this matter.
