washington. = Government owner
ship and operation of telegraph lines
is favored by Postmaster General
Hitchcock.
An official statement made public
by the Postoffice Department, says
that he will recommend to Congress
that the government be authorized to
buy the property of the privately.
owned telegraph companies, under an
act of 1874, providing for their ap.
praisement.
The announcement came out of a
comparatively clear sky. Although
government telegraphs have been ad-
vocated sporadically, no postmaster
general, it was said at the Postoffice
Department, had officially recon-
mended such an advanced change of
policy.
Members of Congress. even those
on the postal committee. appeared to
have had no inkling of Mr.. Hitch
cocks intentions.
Acquisition of the telegraph lines OF
the United States by the government
and their operation as part Of the
postal service will be recommended to
Congress in a short time by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock.
For a year or more Mr.. Hitchcock
has had this recommendation under
consideration. After thorough study
of the operation OF government con-
trolled lines and postal telegraph
systems of foreign countries, he has
decided TO urge the matter upon Cop
gress.
SHOULD this recommendation be
adopted Mr.. Hitchcock said in
statement of his intentions, Il am con-
vinced II would result in important
economics and in materially lowering
telegraph rates that now arc exacted.
In approximately fifty countries of the
world-notably in Great Britain.
France, Germany, Austria. Italy.
Spain. Russia and Japan-government
controlled telegraphs now are in prof
table operation.
''In many of the countries they are
operated in connection with the postal
service.
These telegraphs serve an average
population of 950.O00, 900. and in every
instance they have been found to be
of immense practical benefit to the
people. in both promptitude and cost of
service.
"In this country postoffices are
maintained in numerous places not
reached by telegraph systems. and the
proposed consolidation. therefore.
would afford a favorable opportunity
for the wide extension of telegraphic
facilities. In many small towns where
the telegraph companies have offices,
the telegraph and mail business could
be handled readily by the same en-
pIoyes. 1t is evident that the separate
maintenance of the two services under
present conditions result in a needless
expense.

Expelled From Church
Celebrates By Hymn

READING, Pa, Aug. 10
Some people go to church to sing
and shout,
In six months time they are all
kicked out.
You can't go to heaven by the
baseball route
For Jesus, the umpire, will rule
you out.
This is one of the new hymns
written by the Rev. John I. Smith
and sung by himsel fin his own
church to himself as a congrega-
ton. He was rea dout of the
Evangelical church at Drehers-
Vile and thereupon built himself
place of worship.
The Rev. Smith breaches every
Sunday, usually to himself, as few
go to hear him; sings his hymns
in due order and rings the bell
with great fervor, the NOSE espe-
cially as the church from which
he was expelled has no bell and
is only a few yards distant from
his own. The hymn above quoted
was written on the fact that
Smith was expelled from the 9th
err church because he shouted too
loud and too often"
