house. concerning his bill to govern

lines ranks well up among recent an
archistic drivel served to the people
for the purpose of misleading them.
Representative Lewis" a-cordne
toa newspaper account, does not
want the government to take over the
telegraph companies. His plan is to
have the government first own the
telephone network of the country, OPP
crate some of the telephone lines as
telegraphs, and have the government
compete with the private telegram
companies as the parcel pest COM
petes with the express companies.
To put it in another way, Repres N
tative Lewis proposes to bankrupt the
telegraph companies and acquire the:1
property at receivers prices. his
ideas have a fine, manly rfcg to them
that must appeal to the great Ameri-
lean sense of fair play and justice
They echo the ethics of Captain Kidd
and his brother pirates.
When the telegraph lines were
pushed across the country under ter.
rifle stress and enormous cost, they
were hailed with rejoicing. Next to
food. water and transportation, the e
were few things the people desired
| more. Fortunately, there was lot
much talk of government ownership
then. The people and the government
were very content to let the TELEGRAPH
companies, or anyone e'se, build the
lines and open communication to the
frontier. The thought that someone
would make profit from the opera
ton of the lines worr' ed no one then
