See Editorial on Page Eight. “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. No. 12.
