and other important cities strictly
blacked out now.
During the earlier raids Tokyo was
brilliantly lighted. However, the
reconnaissance pilot, 1t John
Thomas Garvin, Chicago, said at
Saipan that on a recent mission he
found even the suburbs dark, and
that Yokohama and other cities were
blacked out.
The only lights sene were at Chofu
airdrome, 1t. Garvin said, and these
were on three enemy planes which
were going in for landing.

The government never gave any
one anything that it did not take
from someone else who had earned
it by the sweat of his brow. When
ever the government feeds and
clothes a loafer it does so at the
expense of the workers. Smart
as those who run our government
are they have not yet found a
means whereby they can get
money in any other way except
from work and sweat and self
denial of workers. Did you
ever stop to think that if
every worker spent as he
went and wasted his substance by
foolish spending and buying ev-
erything he saw that he thought
he wanted, there would be no
money to carry on the govern
ment or any of its functions. 1t
is the people who work and pro-
duce and practice self-denial and
save that make all government
and all government functions pos
sible. 80

Big American bombers are now
being turned out at the rate OF
1000 month. This fact is a splen-
did tribute to the might of Ameri-
can industry. Especially when it
is remembered that during the
same time vast amounts of other
materials have been turned out in
equally staggering proportions.
Not only that but this record of
production was reached in the
short space of two years. During
this time the plants and factories
of this country have been changed
completely from the production of
tools of peace to the production of
the tools of war.

We note that member of Con-
gresss has proposed that with
mastering out pay for soldiers dis
charged from the service at the
end of the war, the same type Of
type of mastering out pay be
granted all civilian workers who
may be released from their jobs
after the war. Why stop there?
Let's not be niggardly about this
thing. Let's give everybody in
this country nice fat check on
our empty treasury after the war
is over. We favor the mastering
out pay for the men in the service
but when it comes to writing
checks for civilian workers it APP
peals to us as both foolish and
ridiculous.

Four doctors at the Henry Ford
hospital, Detroit, Mich, recently
announced the discovery of new
blood substitute to be used in cases
where blood TRANSMISSION is need
ed. The substitute consists of
pectin such as isu sed by house
wives in making jelly, distilled
water and salts. The discovery
is regarded as important for the
reason that it is often difficult
to secure blood for transfusions
when it is needed, and, because
of its perishable nature, it is diff
cult to keep. Pectin is extracted
from citrus plants.

As we view the several wage
increase demands that are to be
backed up by strikes it appeals
to us that anyone who is bent on
getting "his while the getting is
good" out of the war can find
some manner in which to justify
most any increase. Some one in
some other line of work is making
this, and some one else is making
that. Try as we may, we cannot
connect the struggle to get the last
nickel the traffic will bear, with
patriotism. Every patriot in this
country is thinking of how much
he can give rather than how much
he can get. When it comes to us
ing the strong arm methods known
as the strike to force the increase.
it appears even less patriotic. The
trouble is that there are too many
people in this country who are
willing that sacrifices be made to
win the war just so long as they
are made by some one else.

past year. I'D:
But transcending all these things
were the heroic exploits of our
armed forces in Africa, Italy, the
South Pacific and other battle
arenas. Our armies and navies
backed by our industries demon
strated that a Democracy can wage
successful war-can carry the
fight to the enemy when it is
forced to do so. Mussolini has
already found that out; we feel
certain that Hitler, if not yet COM
pletely convinced, is rapidly learn
ing it; and we suspect that FIiro-
hito is beginning to sense it.
All things considered the events
of 1943 would seem to indicate that
1914 will be a most vital and inn
portant year for Amreicaa year
in which the forgotten Man. will
come into his own-not the "For-
gotten Man. as depicted by the
present administration, but as the
one described by William Graham
Sumner some 40 years ago:
"Such is the forgotten Man. .
He works, he votes, generally he
prays-but he always pays. He
is the clean, quiet, virtuous, do
mestic citizen, who pays his debts
and his taxes and is never heard
out of his little circle. Yet who
is there in society of a civilized
state who deserves to be remem-
bered and considered by the legis-
lator and statesman before this
MANI" z,s@
The Congress in 1943 began to
remember this too-long forgotten
Mani all signs do not fail, it
will give him even more considera-
ton in 1914. Yea verify, things
portend for the forgotten Man."

A popular contest at out of

The contest is to see which woman
can kick her slipper the highest.
The trick is to stop the foot sud-
denly on the way up releasing the
slipper which will 60 straight up
into the air. The woman kicking
her slipper the highest wins the
contest. To be successful Slip
per should not fit too snugly.

It was Barnum who said that a
sucker was born every minute.
It might be well to remember that
it was something over so years
ago that Barnum made such an
observation. Since that time the
tempo of things has been stepped
up. Even the production of suck
ers has been greatly increased.

A columnist in one of our ex-
changes has it sized up this way:
Leave a young woman money and
she will spend it. Leave it to a
woman between 35 and SO and
some man will get it by marrying
her. Leave it to an older woman
and her children will get the last
dollar of it from her.

REMEMBERING THE
FORGOTTEN MAN

tORGOTIEN MAN -
Things portend for the 'sFor-
gotten Man." This year of 1914
well may be the most vital and
important in the history of this
nation. This is the year that our
two major political parties select
their candidates for the presidency,
and in November the voters will
choose between these two candi-
dates as to who will occupy the
White House for the following
four years. The electorate at the
same time will choose a new low
er House of Congress, and also Sc
lect some new senators. The "For-
gotten Man" will get a hearing at
the polls. r. f =
This year may also witness the
cessation of hostilities in Europe,
and find our armed forces poised
for a Knockout blow at Japan.
Yes, all things considered, 1914
shapes up like a pivotal year.
Looking back in retrospect to
the year 1913, there is much to be
seen there for the forgotten
Man." One of the outstanding
accomplishments of the year on
the home front was resumption
by Congress of its former and
proper functions; it manifested a
determination to get back to that
wise system laid down by the
Founding Fathers under which
government was divided into three
branches-the executive, legisla-
tive and judicial. It began to con-
slider the forgotten Man."
Almost of equal importance was
the awakening of the American
people in 1913. Rationing and 9TH
er limitations while accepted by
the public as necessary war emer-
gencies, have given it a real taste
of bureaucracy in action, and it
has just about made up its mind
that it will put with being pushed
around by government officials as
long as the emergencies exist
and not one minute longer.
1t is our opinion that historians
of the future will record 1943 as
the end of a short but perilous
era-a decade during which Amer
lea travelled far along on the
pathway to state socialism, aban-
doning the principles of initiative
and thrift which had made her
the outstanding nation in all the
worlds history.
The year 1943, despite its many
industrial strikes and the humbling
of the Chief Executive by John
L. Lewis, saw a vast improvement
in the attitude of union labor,
disposition on its part to clean its
house of the racketeering element
which has been bleeding it and
kicking it around. The dues-pay-
ing forgotten Man. of the unions
began to assert himself.
The nigh-miraculous, record
breaking war production of Ameri-
can industry during 1943 was a
high spot and something to which
capital, management and workers
can well point with pride. Each
did its part and did it magnifi-

Because of the failure to curb
