A few weeks back, the editor penned an editorial on Cap-
tain Eddie Rickenbacker, World War One ace, and colorful
current character. Shortly after the paper was distributed,
we received a communication of condemnation for the editor-
ial and the author placed us in the class with Rickenbacker.
We cherish this place, and will always strive to be identified
with Captain Rickenbacker, his views, and good intentions.
Rick is doing a great job—he is waking the damnable, crook-
ed “well kept” labor czars up. The wool is being peeled from
public eyes and the searing hot iron of the lamentable truth
it i reaking out on the black countenances of these unworthies
in he ranks of honest labor.
We have concerte evidence that Captain Eddie's state-
men s are hurting the “fat” boys, who have took advantage
of very type of favorable legislation passed in Washington
for their benefit.
This week we received an unsigned, so-called, subsidized
she t, (we wouldn’t insult the press by calling it a newspa-
per > telling us that Captain Rickenbacker was a “labor-bait-
er. ’ That just because Rickenbacker performed valiant ser-
vic. to his country in World War One, was no reason for him
to i his position and prestige to injure his country and his
gov nment in other ways. The sheet went on to say that
Ric : wasn’t any “holier” than any other man. Also written
la r' ncil across the top of the column containing this tirade
ag« nst the famous Captain—an admitted man of “position
and prestige,” by the journal, was scribbed the words, meant
for the editor, “Don’t forget this.” On the front page this
Message was penned:: “You are just a little fish in a great
big pond.” So mote it be. The editor of this newspaper had
rati r be a little fish in Eddie RickenbackerV pond than a
whi !e in the poisonous pool of labor racketeers. We have no
cry to raise against legitimate labor. We endorse honest
isb< r and are a hundred per cent behind collective bargaining
—tl e right to negotiate—the rights of all laborers to be pro-
te£U d at all times. But as for the top-flight laborers to be pro-
tected at all times. But as for the top-flight labor czars who
have brought the wrath of public opinion down on their
heads—the kind referred to by such men as Westbrook
Pegler—we hold no love. It might be added here that this
great war is going to end victoriously for the Allies some of
these days and when that time arrives for our war veterans to
return to their native United States—God have patient mercy
on the stinking squid of those who pirated the ranks of labor
and hindered the war effort in their absence. Such head-
lines as: “Local Number So and So Opens Negitiations with
Such and Such a firm,” and Local So and So Renews Agree-
ment with Such and Such” are going to be remembered by
the people and the returning heroes of this war. They are
going to be remembered as we people are now Remembering
Poarl Harbor. And no love will be accociated with that mem-
ory either.
Your number is up boys. Get in together now while
you can cause you are going to rate about as much as a
pole cat at a lawn party in the sweet tomorrows. Sip deeply
from the cup of pillage, and plunder today, for tomorrow
you’ll suck the scum from the bottom of the barrel.
Don’t forget that your country editor and the great
army of American patriots, bond buyers, and taxpayers told
you so, when the time comes for you to take your drubbing.
Where we received only one letter and an unsigned
"sheet” against Capt. Rickenbacker and our stand for him,
we have received over one hundred letters from the men
in our armd forces backing us up. The hour glass of time is
running out. A decade of riotous remard reaping for a band
or so of brigands is approaching a close. Adios, to your sons
of spoil. Come in 1944 and victory, and now in the words of
(he great McArthur: “Let’s get on with the war!”

A person of a firm who has little
enough regard for a business institu-

files and recorda has little regard
for anything or anybody. We refer
specilifally to the requests made by
certain Individuals for use of the
names and addresses of men in the

as sacred to us aa a file of bank ac-
counts, and we have never yet
heard of anybody walking in a local

a stockholder and a depositor in our
newspaper. We are not privileged to

To Hasten Victory
No American wants this war
to go one minnte beyond the
time wo can bring It to a vic-
torious end. To hasten that
victory—to save possibly the
lives of millions of our boys
on our far thug fronts—It is
imperative that every Ameri-
can do his part in the Second
War Loan. There is aa in-
vestment to dt every purse.
The most yon can do is little
enough compared with the sac-
rifice offered by oar boys in
service. They give their lives
—yon lend your money.

neglects to pay his taxes on
time or to invest every cent he
can in War Bonds is surely giv-
ing aid and comfort to the
