"The Bell System waa created by tbe public and by tbe peculiarities of tbe service. It exists because ttie pub¬ lic patronized It, and tbe public pa¬ tronized It because they rV'elved a' ¦ervice sucb as they wanted at a price .which was reasonable, considering the service, at a price which made It ad¬ vantageous and profltoble to the pub¬ lic." The foregolnjr Is one ot the ex¬ tracts quoted by The. Telephone Re¬ new from the Annual Report of the Bell System.
Some Idea of the extent of the Bell Gystcm may be obtained from the fol¬ lowing figures, taken from the aame noarcc:
Subscriber Stations—A tofal of 9.847,192, an Increase of 695,97). On January 1, 1917, there was one Bell Telephone station to •ach 10 of the total population of the OUnlted States.
Wire Mileage—19,860,315 miles of ei- Ohange and toll wire, an Increase of 1,344,- T70. Of this total wire mileage, 93 per cent. Is copper wire. 11,468,526 miles, or M per cent., are underKTOund. The under¬ ground conduits represent a cost of 1101,- 100,000, and the cables In the conduits »121,- \ 900,000—a total In Underground plant of 1228,000,000. There are 221,994 miles of phan¬ tom circuits In the Bell System, an In¬ crease during the year of 25,153 miles.
Tranic-29.4:0,000 completed connections a flay, not hicludlni; connecting companies —at the rate of 9,789,700,000 a year. This la an averasro of approximately 100 calls per year for every man, wo'hian and child In the United States.
Plant Additions—KW,224,728 expended for plant additions, and the estimates for 1917 Are 190,000,000. The total amount expended for plant additions In the past seventeen years was »796,OI8,900. During 1916 $84,900,- 000 was applied out of revenue to current maintenance and depreciation, being 9.2 pep cent, of the average value of plant, supplies, etc.
Employees' Benefit Fund—Payments ag¬ gregating $1,816,101 have been made during the year to employees or their relatives for pensions, sickness, accident,, and death benefits. In the four years 1913-1918, Inclu¬ sive, tbe expenditures have aggregated IS,6U,016.
Financial—The total operating revenues of the entire Bell System in 191G were •861600,000, an Increase of $30,151,000. or nearly 13 per cent, over 1915. Of these Dlff^nnTes, depreciation and maintenance consumed $84,566,000, an Increase of 11.6 per cent, over 1915; traftlc expensea consumed |63,749,0O(), an Increase of 17.4 per cent.; commercial expenses-$26,699,000, an Increase of 9 per cent.; getieral and miscellaneous expenses $11,902,000, an Increase of 7.7 per cent.; taxes assignable to operations $14,- 916,000, an Increase of 14.7 per cent.
The total gross income was $79,363,000, an Increase ot H.l per cent, over 1915. Of thla amount $22,114,000 was paid for Inter¬ est, rents and so forth, leaving $35,100,000 for dividends and over $22,000,000 to bo added to eurpluu reserves.
The capital stocl«, bonds, and notes pay¬ able out.<itan>llng tn the hands of the pub¬ lic at the close of the year were $889,42ii,- 8S7. If to this be ndded the current ac¬ counts payable, $38,280,436, against which ther»-were liquid assetij, cash, nnd cur¬ rent accounts receivable of $146,722,409. or an excess ot $10S,441,973 to the credit of the system, it leaves $7SO9«4.G01 aa the net perniaiierit cairllal obligutions of the whole ¦ystem outstanding In the handa of .the public. The physical plants of the Bell System stand on Iho books ot the Com¬ panies at $946,293,248, while the present re¬ placement value, based upon appraisals, la many millions In excess of this amount. The number of shareholders, not Includ¬ ing "employee" shareholders, 70,565, Is Increase of 5,04^ during the yen.r.

A silk manufacturer of I'atepjou said recently he rarely calls their New Vork offlce bnt what he compares tbe toll ' service between Paterson and New I York with their former service from their factory In a small towu In France, about twenty miles from Lyons, with thek- Lyons offlce. He \ nnU\ the watchman was given Instruc- j tlons to put In a call for Lyons about ; B:.30 In the morning, so that the wire would be ready for the manufacturer | when be jrrived at^ tlje offlce £boyt 8 , 0 clocK. All the Dusluess waFsTved up for this talk, as It took much longer to i get Lyons If the attempt was made | during tbe day. |
If It was found Impossible to carry out certain Instructions that were glv- i en by the Lyons offlce It meant that i several looms were Idle until the fol¬ lowing "morning call,"- which greatly ; aflfectetl tho output and added to the ; cost of production.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.
Rafrashing to Find Striking Rapudia- ^on of Patarnaliam.
The overthrow of the Romanoff dynasty four himdred years old and the conversion Into a limited mon¬ archy, or a republic, of the Russian empire which has existed for more than a tbousand years, was due to tbe victory of democracy over autocracy and bureaucracy. Thla is the most tre mendous result that has been witness¬ ed of the spread of the Influence of democratic America among the nations of the old world, flrst seen In the estali Ushment of a permanent republic In Frantf?.
In Riis.fla. however. It has gone fur ther tliun lu France, and Professor Mlllukoff, "the American," as for n time he was tauntingly called, Is now credited with being tbe man most re sponsible for the movement and as be¬ ing the man of the hour in Russia.
The revolution was tbe overthrow of centrallzatlou of power In the bands of government. It was a protest against paternalism and all the evils biherent In the control of a nation by a few meu In supreme authority, It was the assertion of the rights of the

A woman called tbe Kedzle telephone exchange In Chicago. Her voice wa-> so weak that she could not make llie number she wanted heard, re\X)rta tlu' Chicago Tribune. She was desperate ly 111. she managed to convey. The '•all was snapi>ed up to Miss Margaret Canipy, chief operafor. who lives at W20 Delden avenne.
"Get SCtii'." came in a gasp.
"What exchange".'" asked MI.>!S Cnr ney. There was no answer. Then Miss Carney heard a thud. She locat ed the address from which the call had come and summoned a neighbor.
"A Mrs. Amelln Oster has fainted at 20 Pouth Ketlrle avenue," she said "Get a doctor to her!"
"But how do you know?"
"Don't ask questions. Hop to It:' snld MI.SS Carney.
Then she got after the mysterious "303" number. She called exchange after exchange and got that nnmber.' Finally she located tbe right exchange and Mrs. Oster's son. She told him bis mother waa sick.
"And I have tbe key to the house!" Mr. Oster exclaimed. i
At that Instant the neighbor cut in' with a report tbat the door of Mrs. Osier's flat was locked. Miss Carney ' conveyed this to Mr. Oster.
"Tell her." said he. "to get a doctor. go up the flre escape aud break a win dow."
These Instructions were obeyed j WLen Mr. Oster reached home he foniid the physician by his mother's sl.le.
"If there had been a few minutes more delay In getting help .ihe would have dle<1," said the physician.
On the next day, Saturday, Mr. Oster looked up Miss Carney.
"TlintH nothing!" she said.—Evening Sun (.\. Y.) i

A Blow to Govornmont OwnorahIp,
Under the above bead the Albany Knickerbocker Press, March 7, printed the following editorial:
The penny wise and pound foolish gen¬ tlemen who are running the United States postofflce department Into the ground should be warned of the •ervlca they are rendering to the cauae of prlrate owner¬ ship. The contrast between the way the mall Is now handled and the service fur¬ nished thn public by the telegraph, tele¬ phone and express companies Is decidedly disadvantageous to the Government serv¬ ice. A privately owned post offlce depart- i ment Involves a considerable stretch of , the ImaKlnatton, but when It is conceded 1 on every hand that the service would be j better managed and produce better results j under private management, the entering I wedge has surely been driven In. j In former years newspapers as well as j letters were handled promptly and reacti ' ed their destination on the flrst train . Nowadays, the number of clerks has been i so cut down that It Is sometln^es Imposr ' Bible to handle all the flrst class mall on a single run, while Instance.*! of delayed j mall of other classes accumulate daily In ; great nunibers.
This Is not the fault of the postal clerks, either In the offlces, the terminals or on the trains. They are themselves the vic¬ tims of a bureaucratic system, thorQUghly entrenched behind barriers of red tape and bent upon shaving nnd paring down postofflce fxpenses, regardless of results. The statement has been made that tho saving nf ono million dollars by holdlni; down the number of poetal clerka, below the number refjuired for good service In the promjit handling of mall, costs the government $50,000,000 annually In busines.s diverted to tho wire and express compa¬ nies. If this Is the fact—and common ex¬ perience goes far to Justify the assortlmi —the men who are responsible for this condition are no better tban reneKH.de sailors Who would scuttle a splendid ship. The Government's handling cf the postal service Is not obligatory, but only permis.sive under the Constitution, which says. Section VIII, "TW Con¬ gress shnll havo power: * • • • 7. To establish post oflices and post roads," and tliere la uo constitutional prohlM- 82,090 I tlon against Us being done by private
Ing the reaction which ia almost uul- , versal against such centralization of I power lu the hands of government aud are advocating the foisting upon our people of government ownership and other isms bom of paternalism.
Paternalism may be Justified nnder an autocratic monarchy, but when the founders of our nation broke away from monarchy they embodied In tbe Constitution which they adopted every possible safeguard against the as.sump- tion by or surrender to the Govern¬ ment of any authority which would create such a menace to the sov¬ ereignty of the people. The people ^may exercise the right of sovereignty in the act of surrendering it, but once snrrendere<l It is lost; tho countries which never had It are gainbig It, na we did, by revolution. They are vln dicatlng the superiority of our system over their own; In place of government ownership we have government reg¬ ulation.
It Is refreshing to find a repudiation of paternalism in the very heart ot n coiuitry where it reached its zeiiUli and where its oppressive Influence hns been the heaviest.—Tbe Telephone Re¬ view, N. Y.
