DISCUSSES FEDERAL
OWNERSHIP OF WIRES
Pittsburgh Division Manager Talks
on Question Being Agitated
by Postmaster General

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the Harrisburg Telephone Society,
held in the Board of Trade last night,
Walter B. Clarkson. division manager
of the Bell Telephone Company, Pitts
burgh, discussed in considerable detail
the proposed postalization of the tele-
phone and telegraph by the federal
government. Among other things Mr..
Clafkson pointed out that ever since
the telegraph was invented by Samuel
b. Morse in 1874 practically all of the
postmasters general had at one time
or another recommended government
ownership of the telegraph and said
that when John Wanamaker was post
master general he even wet to the
extent of compiling 250-page book
embodying his recommendation in this
direction, Mr.. Clarkson pointed out
that the novelty of the present sit
uation lies in the fact that not only do
we have q postmaster general again
making this suggestion, but that for
the first time we find member of the
House of Representatives and SEN
ator cooperating with him In the gen.
eral agitation of the question.
Mr.. Clarkson spoke of the compari-
sons which have been made between
rates in the United States and foreign
countries. but said that too, often no
comparison had been made between
the service as furnished in the various
countries. People whom he has met
and who have tried telephone service
abroad have assured him that the
American people would not put up
with such service. One of the argu-
ments advanced by those who favor
government ownership is that the sue
cess of the parcel post Is convincing
evidence that the government can take
over the telephone and telegraph sys-
tens. In answer to this Mr.. Clarkson
showed that the taking over of the
parcel post was nothing new; 1t was
merely carrying more mail matter and
larger packages by an organization
that had been in existence for some
time. To take over the telephone and
telegraph systems, however, he said,
means the departure of the govern
ment to an entirely new field of labor
for which there is no organization.
Mr.. Clarkson said that under civil
service, initiative is taken away from
the employees.
Mr.. Clarkson told his hearers that
while personally he thought there was
no Likelihood of the government talk
ing over the telephone or telegraph
systems in this country, yet he thought
that each telephone employe as we'll
as every citizen of the country should
think over the arguments advanced on
both sides of the question and decide
for themselves whether or not there is
any merit in the proposition.
Among those who commented upon
Mr.. Clarkson's paper were J. Heron
Crosman, Jr., a former resident of
Harrisburg and now general CONNER
cial superintendent at Philadelphia; j.
C. Lynch, general superintendent of
traffic: James w HubbeIl traffic en-.
gineer: A. III. Osterman, general com.

An Hsnest Druggist
Often Gives Good Advice

1t gives me great pleasure to take
this method of thanking you for what
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root has done
for my wife and at the same time to
cheerfully recommend it to all suf-
fers from kidney trouble.
My wife had suffered terribly from
kidney disease and had tried all kinds
of patent medicines with no success,
until a druggist recommended Swamp
Root. That brought the only relief she
has had in years and she is now feeling
better than she ever did before. L
believe this is due entirely to Swamp
Root and stand firm in my statement
when I say that Swamp-Root is the
king of all kidney remedies. You
have my consent to publish this state
ment at any time in the interest of
humanity. t
Yours very truly.
