ABOUT TELEPHONE USE

The Register is in receipt of a let
ter from Subscriber" thanking The
telephone operators for their slogans
for downing the kaiser and preventing
misuses of the lines. We would pub
Iish the letter but no name is signed
and it is the absolute rule of this pa
per not to publish anonymous COM
munications, even when they are com
~plimentary. We believe that the en-
deavor of the telephone companies to
restrict patrons to a reasonable use
of the wire will meet with approval.
Especially where there are party lines.
The convenience Of a phone often
tempts one to talk unnecessarily, but
a little thought of the rights of 9th
ers, and of your own rights, will n
able all of us to use the connection
with discretion and judgment.
