YOU KNOW ME
BY
Bl, Himself
Editor of the Dallas Post,
Dear Sir:
we see that two persons dis-
agreed with our column of January
27 sufficiently to cause them to
write you about it. It was the col-
umn, probably, that. we wrote in
answer to the questions submitted
by the American Press Association.
There is no doubt in our mind that
a whole lot more than two of the
Post’s readers disagreed with the
answers we had to those questions.
In fact, we mentioned, when we
stated that we were in favor of
“A federal system ‘of compulsory
health insurance”, that we felt that
we were quite alone on this opin-
ion.
We also knew, or thought we
knew, Mr. editor, that you did not
coincide with our opinions entirely,
particularly the side we took on the
Taft-Hartley law, but that did not
stop you from publishing our col-
umn, a fact that we appreciate.
We understand, of course, that
the questions submitted by the
American Press Association were
sent only to editors of papers
throughout, the country and editors
were the cnly ones who were sup-
posed to answer the questions, but
you, sir, in your column, printed
those questions and invited your
readers to answer them. We ans-
wered them as to how we thought,
we did not answer them as to how
we thought our readers were
thinking. We are entitled to our
opinion, and others are entitled to
theirs, and as long as that contin-
ues in this country, we are satis-
fied with America and being an
American.
We would be interested in know-
ing how many persons took ad-
vantage of your offer to answer the
questions submitted by the Ameri-
can Press Association, as those
questions are important, in our op-
inion, to the future conduct of the
lawmakers of our country.
We realize, Mr. editor, that vou
have to be careful what you print.
We know that, because once we
were an editor of a weekly paper.
We would print an item that we
knew to be a fact; we would print a
story sent in by one of our cor-
respondents ‘that we presumed was
fact; the next week one of our
readers would write that if we ever
printed anything like that again
he would cancel his subscription.
We hope that no one goes as far
as that in criticising our column.
Just let us know if they do, and
we'll stop writing it as we don’t
want you to lose any business.
We enjoyed the writings of the
“two who did not agree with us
about our column, We particularly
got a kick out of our first critic
when he mildly called your atten-
tion to those pasters on your edi-
torials (something we have been
talking to you about for two years)
and when he said in a letter to
last week’s Post, “I never did like
Al's column and this week disagree
with all of it.”
Now, there is a citizen we like.
“He never did like our column,”
but yet he reads it, so Mr. editor
that is all we want, just readers.
As to our second critic in which
he states: “In reference to ‘Al, Him-
self’ in last week's issue. I do not
think this gent represents the op-
inion of most of the back country
folk . .” Well, it wouldn't sur-
prise us if we didn’t represent any-
one. In fact we never figured in
writing these columns that we
would have to represent anyone.
We like the back mountain people
. when the need is there . . .
there are the back mountain people
. but as far as representing
them, gosh, no . . . they are fully
able to represent themselves . . .
the only one we represent is Al
Himself.
