Letters To Mimi
From Her Dad
| Dear Miml:
i I am of the opinion that we car
win the war and mill loae It. If wt
defeat the Oermapa and the Wop*
and the Japs while we allow John L
i IAtv> 1h and other racketeers to take
over the helm of government In fht
D. 8. wo will he In a grave position
Internal rebellion wontd be more
costly and more dlauHtroua than u
foreign war.
There Isn't very much doubt In inj
mind but that such a castastropho h
coming Every indication pointa In
that direction. Hoodlums such hp
Lewis are not willing to abide by any
Just rules of law and order. They
aren't patriotic enough to realise that
we are In the midst of a great strug
glo for freedom and that every day
of production might well mean a
month of progress in the war effort
They are intent on playing the game
by their own rules and letting the
rest of .society he damned.
Most far sighted people believe In
the principle of organized labor but
no fair-minded person subscribe* to
ullowlng the great working musses of
our people to be made the goats for
a bunch of selfish, unprincipled and
crooked gangsters?-many of whom
have Jail records. \yhy can't tbe
affuli-H of our laboring people be labelled
by men of good characterf Certainly
there are men in the ranks of
labor who possess this virtue as well
as the ability to be uble administrators.
A large part of the trouble can be
laid In the laps of the national ndlnlnlstration.
They have courted tHe
labor vote to the extent of making
laws and establishing precedents totally
unfair to Industry and wholly
against all democratic principles. Our
government has allowed labor to resort
to unconstitutional practices, to
destroy and confiscate property, to
enforce the closed shop and to engage
tn unlawful picketing and gang warfare
that has been more dangerous
than the feuds of ihe underworld.
Do you realiz^ what a CLOSED
SHOT' Is? It nmAns that if one seeks
employment tn certain industries he
MUST become a member of a union?
not only a union but a CERTAIN
union designated by the government.
He must pay an initiation fee ranging
from $10 to several hundred dollars.
Still the union has a right to reject
him even though the industry wants
to give him employment. The government
sanctions the practice and
allows labor unions to enforce It. The
union is not required to make an
accounting either of the Initiation fees
or the millions In dues they collect
from these people who have been
given no defense for their constitutional
rights. If labor can enforce
the closed shop, why doesn't the government
allow Industry the alterna
tive of either not employing any
union labor or of discharging employees
for obnoxious union activities?
Is It right for union dues to be
exempt from Federal income taxes?
If this Is right then why shouldn't
all lodge, club and fraternal order
dues be likewise oxempt?
I say to you that unless we send
men of character and stamina who
are unafraid to our legislative halls
we are headed for Revolution?because.
the American people won't
stand for much more of this rotten
business. We must act now!
Love,
Your Dad.
P. S. Even if 500,000 people think
Lewis is right (though we don't believe
the men he has made slaves of,
agree with him) there are more than
1S2.000.000 people who know he is
wrong!

, SCHOOL DAYS IN THE 90a
1 started to school when I was 8
> yearn old My home was 4 miles from
> the old church that was used as u
school house. I could not have taken
> u?> my effort jo seek knowledge any
i sooner. 1 had to wait until I got old
enough to wulk 8 miles per day. Our
> school term ran 3 or 4 months a year,
i hut we were subject to a six-weeks
i summer term?after ?iops were laid
i by and before fodder was ready to
' pull.
1 wore a little checkedy llndaey
dress and not much else, ft had not
turned very cold, It boing only Nov.
1. Shoes and underclothes were
Very rare, In fact thoy wore so rare
they were not considered any part of
1 a child's wearing apparel. My books
consisted of a blue-back spell and
i an Army and Hammer soda thumb,
paper. 1 was taught my ABC's dur1
ing the first two months, got where I
could say them down to F by the
third month.
Th.) second semester?then called
"when school opened"?I still had my
blue-back speller, but was given a
slat*1 and pencil. It wasn't very long
until I was being taught how to spell
ab, uc and ad. Those were pretty
hard words for a boy only about 9
years of age to spell off the book.
The teacher set a copy for me so'b I
could practice writing. It consisted
of some straight lines between two
long horizontal lines. And was Ihat
tough stuff! We hud one little recesB
and one big recess and another little
recess. Books took up at about 8
a. m.. sun-time, and we went home
around 4:30 p. m.
.
- ?~
Kverybmly fetched dlnuer. The
word "lunch" had never been heard of.
Mother would cook some big biscuits
for uh. The oldest child In our
flock always took ct?re of the bottle
of ho-tnade molasses that we poured
Into a hole In the biscuit made with
our fingers. We occasionally had
roasted potatoes, that Is?In season.
We never worried about what was In
our dinner buckets; we worried because
we were afraid there wasn't
enough stuff. Lots of times?we ate
every bite we carried away from
home before we got to the school
house. Then we almost starved to
death by the time school turned out.
Them were the days though.
WE ARE ON OUR WAY
I stood In a bank lobby the other
day for thirty minutes. Just waiting.
I observed that at least 60 per cent of
all the checks that were passed over
the counter were government checks.
I further too knote of the fact that
practically all or the government
Items were paid In cash; only a small
minority were - placed on deposit.
Government dough, which Is usually
easy dough, represents the fastest
money In the world?here today,
gone tomorrow.
Very few, If any, of the recipients
of cash on the government checks referred
to rendered any service whatsoever
therefor. They were sideline
payees. How long our Uncle Samuel
can stand this heavy burden Is any- i
body's guess. This does not mean
that each and every person receiving
these checks were not legally and
justly entitled thereto, according to ,
law.
The folks who were passing these
checks In were not employees of the
government; they were only payrollees.
It would be hard to tabulate ,
the many useless government agencies
here and there and everywhere.
They will contniue to function (that
is?draw pay) until a change is made
In ruler-ship, meaning the arrival of
a republican or a Lewis regime. New
brooms alwayB sweep old accumulations
out of office. New workers (?)
are Installed; they will be no better
and no worse than the old ones.
During a prosperity period like the
the present, people do not have very
much more stuff to eat or wear; they
simply eat porter-house cakes and pie
Instead of corn bread and collardB,
and wear silks and satins and high
priced shoes Instead of calicoes, ginghams
and sandals. They substitute
Old Crow, Grandad and Canadian Club
for XXXX, Hot Joe, and White Rabbit;
in fact, they drink the best that
money will buy. Some few folks save
Borne money; others throw it to the
four winds and believe that no rainy (
day w ill ever. come. Only about 40 i
per cent of the population of the average
community Is benefitting financially
by reason of the war and war
work.
