People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 May 1895 — Here You Are. [ARTICLE]

Here You Are.

The editor of the People’s Pilot hereby tenders the use of his office for The First Annual Edition of The Chronic Kicker’s Non de Plume Edition. The idea is to give every one a chance to get in a side lick at any one they please without being found out, and to take a shot from ambnsh at any mark it pleases them to aim at. It might act as a safety valve on some high pressure correspondents who had it in for their neighbors. and who find a hot reception for their articles when sent to the editor in the ordinary way. This scheme affords an opportunity for the fellow who knew how a paper should be run; he can come in and take charge and just block out the business to suit his own fastidious heart. The non de plume copy can be shoved under the office door at night to avoid violating the postal laws.

This edition will be free from ail expense as the proprietor will just loaf ardund and loot the bills. If this offer is not accepted we want Prairie Regulator to forever let up on his fihe haired intimations that we are afraid to publish his strictures on the moral status of his friends. We hope, however, that the plan will be accepted and that all the accumulated gall of a full year will be dumped in this special edition. The prestige of being a city is a matter of importance to a town the size of Rensselaer. It has weight with men seeking investments in lands, manufacturing or homes.

The third number of “Up to Date,” Brook’s new localizer, edited by W. Hammond Robertson, has reached the Pilot office, and is placed on the exchange list with pleasure. W. Hammond Robertson has the Pilot’s right hand of fellowship for a successful career. Brook deserves a good paper and the indications are that W. Hammond Robertson will make it for them.
