In 1875 Alexander Graham Bell said: “ I f I oan
make a current of electricity vary ig intensity,
precisely as the air varies in density during the
production of a sound, I should be ub}o tQ tr^p y nit
speech telegraphically.” His phophesy
a
fact within the following year.
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.
