Two years later, when the telephone was still re­ garded as a toy, Bell prophesised that cablA of telephone wira could be laid underground pr over­ head and connect cities, towns and country. His phophesy is a reality. “ Fortunately for the country,” says Arthur Pound, in his book, “ The‘ Telephone Itfe»,’’ “ the five men who nursed that infant telephone along had mpre than the average share of courage, faith, honesty and persistence. Chance brought them to­ gether; yet, considering the unity of the group and its well-rounded character, they could hardly have been better chosen if years of thought had been given to the combination. Bell, Sanders and Hub­ bard each owned three-tenths of thp original Bell telephone stock; Watson, pne-tenfh. “ Bell, the handsome young inventor, third of his line who had taught the art of speech to the deaf, loved Gardner G. Hubbard’s degf daughter. Here ig one of the most exquisite of American ro mances awaiting a novelist, a tender love story last­ ing from youth to age, and proceeding delicately, yet with rugged fgith, from poverty to riches, from ridicule to fame, from insignificance to honors. Bell was trying to make the deaf hear before he invented the telephone and he kept on trying to make the degf hear long after he passed as a crea­ tive influence from the telephone scene. “ The docket of patent law history is not with­ out cases in which inventore have been euchred out of fame and wealth by more practical or intrigùing minds. No such unworthy heritage hangs over the history of the telephone; instead, from the first moment of association each of the original tele­ phone pioneers stood ready to risk everything in order to make the telephone ¿go.’ ” About 1878 Theodone N. Vail was drawn into the telephone venture with the fo»r pioneers. There­ after the foundation and structure of the present American telephone system was laid and it has stood the test of half a Century, and given to America the greatest telephone system ip the world. If Vail, whom his associates relied upon to put the telephone business upon a solvent basis, bad been crafty, greedy, narrow-minded or limited of vision; if he bad been “ a money grabber or a fin­ ancial buccaneer or a cold, offish person with small sense of his public responsibility,” thè telephone business would never have been developed as it has. That Vail was broadminded and recognized the public interest in this new business, and develop­ ed it with this sense of responsibility is evidenced by the universal us® of the telephone in. America The story of these telephone pioneers is worth • repeating as an inspiration to straggling industries and to Bhow that honesty and square dealing build a stronger structure than sharp practices.
