WHY AMERICANS SHOULD BE
CONFIDENT
The people of the United States
have reason for confidence in the bus
iness future .They need not be dis.
couraged or impatient .They have on.\
to look about them and study the fact?
and figures.
Ours is the richest of all nations
We have the most gold. We have the
most gold. We have the largest
amount in cash. We are a creditor
nation. The annual productive capa
city of the United States exceeds in
value all other countries. We are
practically self-contained for the pur
pose of supplying our necessities.
With full and adequate facilities for
transportation between the United
States and other lands of this conti
nent. We could, with respect to the
necessities and comforts of life, be
perfectly independent of all other
parts ofthe world. Circumstances be
yond our control or influence placed
the United States in this position.
We do not boa f this. V^e deplore
the awful tragedy that brought de
struction and hindering progress in
«:• er nations, •’ut facu* however
sW: r» and undesirable, must be con
sidered in the endeavor *» sound the
cvonomice situation.
Neither the United States nor oth
er countries generally will continue
to go wrong. It is safe solemnly to
affirm that capital and position and
power will maintain toward the gen
eral public attitudes of justice and of
reason, for any other course would
be sheer suicide, if capital, position
and power do this, the public will not
rise in wrath to substitute grim law
lessness for them, through honest ef
fort and undaunted pluck to rise
worthily to share their great reward.
THE Geographical Society of Pari.',
in 1828 gave a prize of 10,000 franc?
to Rene Caille as the first traveler to
reach Timbuctoo.
LONESOMEST PLACE ON EARTH
im<* to name Em lonmomtst
plaf. to Em world, a traveler oftce
answered: “The Ulead of TrUtmn d’
Amtoha, far off Em coast of South
America. Its population 10 seventy-six
and it is visited by a vessel only once
to two years."
But the traveler was all wrong,
’solated, remote, limited in society,
he island may be. But why lone
some? The last thing we heard from
t was that all the inhabitants were
Torking together to fight a danger
ous plague of rats. When people get
ogether for a common purpose they
irent lonesome.
A man told us the other day that
he lonesomest place he ever .found
vas New York City, where he didn't
mow a soul an dhia being there did
n't matter to anyone. And he was
ight; but he set about changing that
ondition ,and he didn't find even
>jew York lonesome very long. For
he lonesomest place is no question
jf geography or population or econo,
vies. The lonesomest place is always
he human heart which hasn’t team
'd how to reach out to other human
earts in the sure knowledge that
here will be something in common,
hat if it has affection to spend, and
jyalty and truth and friendliness,
here are these things in return wait
rig to welcome it.
Francis Bacon reformed philosophy
by founding it on the observation of
nature after it had considered for
many centuries of scholastic sub
tleties.
ADAB, in Babylonia, discovered by
the University of Chicago excavating
expedition in 1904, is considered the
oldest city in the world.
