We would like to call your attention
to our guest Editorial of Note this week
written by Hal DeCell in the Deer Creek
Pilot at Rolling Fork along the same
line
Often in these columns we stress the
role your newspaper plays in guarding
your freedom. This is a great response
bility which should be the dedicated task
Of all newspapers = to serve as guardians
of the traditional freedoms we have en-
ioyed in America. Ours is the task to
keep you informed by printing the news
in order that you may form intelligent
opinions of your ow
But the responsibility of the news
paper goes farther if it is to truly serve
the public welfare - it must be prepared
to point out and fight corruption where
ever it may appear or anything else
against the public interest. It is not
enough simply to be all sweetness and
light, for home, country, God and mother.
The newspaper must be prepared to fight
to defend the community, the state and
the nation.
Al newspaper without integrity and a
strong editorial policy is like a mar with
out CUTS - not listened to or respected
by anyone.
We try not to be that kind of a news
paper.

the great values of freedom contained in
what we have come to call The American
Way over the Communist Way and
to stimulate a massive, national rededica-

LOGIC Rather Than intimidation
(Reprinted from The Deer Creek Pilot)

means that should be expected Of
only the dogmatic and professional
bigot.
You can browbeat a voice into silence,
perhaps. But it is impossible to brow
beat an opinion into a change. In our eyes,
such methods bear witness only to the
supposition that the opinions of men who
use such means are unable to stand upon
the merits Of logic.
We are quite willing to fight
wars = and have done so - for the
preservation of our right to hold an
individual opinion. But we hold no
sympathy whatsoever for wars or
campaigns designated to force ours
or any other opinion upon another
person or people.
So it is that, being willing to fight
for that preservation on the world front,
we are also willing to do battle in like
cause on the national, state and local
grounds. AS we have said, we are willing
to make such fight not for our own opin-
ions alone but also for the fight of others
to disagree with us on those opinions.
We deem it of utmost Importance
that the individual citizen be en-
c0uraged on every hand to exercise
his right to a free opinion. The trend
at present seems to be in the opposite
direction, thanks to the threatened
intimidation and character -assassi-
nation that is the life-blood Of quasi
official and politically polemical pres
sure groups.
And if that trend - as well as such
organizations = is not checked soon, then
it will avail us naught to fight future
wars. Because that for which we would
be fighting will have been already lost
to us here at home.

EDITORIAL OF NOTE

If we were asked to designate one
thing as being the cornerstone in the
foundation of a democratic-republic =
one thing that is vitality necessary to keep
such a structure from falling of it's own
weight - we would name it to be the
creation, protection and recognition of
the right of the Individual to have and
to hold a free opinion.
All of the freedoms which we
hold SO sacred are but offspring of
that right to an individual opinion.
This nation, and, indeed, this very
civilization, were first brought into
existence by a difference in the opin-
ions held by men. And if we are to
maintain these things, then it is es-
sential that the right of others to
hold a different opinion than our
own be recognized.
OF course, this does not mean that
we should cease to try to convince others
that our opinion is the better one. But
it is the manner in which we seek to
bring about such conviction that is be-
coming more alarming every day. Frank
", we think that the trend toward con-
version by force and intimidation is the
underlying cause of most of the ills -
on the federal, state and home levels =
that tester in the body polite today.
We seem to have ~degenerated
atm6st 70 the point where to hold
md voice an opinion different from
that sbf the leaders has become
soinething akin to sacrilege. Rather
than attempting to convert those
differing opinions through the me-
dinin Of logical deduction, it seems
to have become the practice to at
tempt to force a conversion through
financial intimidation, public ridicule,
character assassination and other
