The New York Mail has recently published a ^ries of ^i*
torials infused to an uiiusual degree with the optimistic, forwards
looking spirit The Sun. as a joumai of optimism, believes that
it can brin^ to its readei-s no better is contained iii
on^ of th^‘'^toriala, *ti!ch follow^: ,...
“The one toice heard 'round the >\;orld today is that of Uncle
J3am—farmer, nianiifacturer, salesman.
“It is cordially welcomed everywhere..
“It has ineaiit more than $!00.000,n00 to the good in our for
eign trade thus month. The January figures will be tvyice as high..
So will every month of 1915.
. “A wai^paralyzed world is looking to us to sell; it all the food
and maiiufacturei'S we can spare. "Made ?n U. S. A.” is the hope
dt other nations for 1915. We can girdle the world with our pro
ducts.
V That much is settled beyond doubt. ,
“It means work and wages for thousands i»\y idle—and work
ICR& wages m^n a big buying power at home.
“Everywhere throughout the country we are picking up t^
threads of prosperity. Mill owiiers are'calling tifeii ilien back
furnaces are lighting up anew, factories beginning to turn wt
increased product, -
“Men of confidence of gift and of tarsightedness have forgot
ten 1914, with its troubles. It is in the past. 'Iliey are looking
to 1915. It is new. It is full of hope—:of opportunity.
“We begin it with a basic conditions as sound aa a gold dollai’s;
with out own 100,000,000 people ready to engage SiPiritedly in
the peaceful conquest of the world’s trade, determined to win it'
for all time.
“We have only to be equally determined about creating a home
trade in order to make that what it should be.
“Everybody agrees that prosperity is on the way to the United
States. Opinion!? differ only as to the time of its arrival.
“Why -wait? Why not fix today as the time: and }Dlan, and
work, and struggle for it NOW?
“Prosperity doe,« not come by %vaiting for it. The tomorrow
that you wait for never comes. Today is the time that counts;
today is the gong that strikes twelve.
“‘Straight ahead,’ is the starting signal for the new year.
The road i."! not cleared of obstacle.s. No worthwhile road ever
is. It is your work to clear it—to look bej’ond the obstacles and
vision the sure reivai'd of effort.
“Mr. Big Business M;-n. Mr, Financier, give up tho.se doubts
that have loaded you down through 1914!
“If you don’t the Little Biisine.'s IVIan will get ahead of you
before 191-5 is out.
“He is today the advance agent of prosperity, pushing ahead
everywhere, taking a risk now and then, never looking for a
dead certainty, but moving steadily on toward bigger things
i'!I the time.
“He does not talk hard times; he talks good times.
“His is the voice that the country wants to hear, that th'i
whole world is listening to and heeding.”

the movements of the local news craft:
pedaj^agical, legal, business, political,
etc.; none of which stood the strain,
of whatever kind it w^as, many
weeks. Your correspondent; has not
been given an authoritative statement
of the re-isons for relinquishing hohl
of the steering wheel of the "Leader,"
but severai suggestions Iiave been
jr.ade. it has been hinted that perhaps
the steering gear was out of order;
hat possibly enough oil was not furn
ished the machinery—whatever thit
may mt'an—or, may be, t-nQUgh fuel
was not put into the engine—^what
ever that indicates: that a teacher can
handle a school, and a lawyer can look
after his practice, and an insurance
man can work insurance, and a reiil
estati; man manage houses and land.*-.,
and a politican can direct Dlunicipal
affairs, each with more ease and to
greater advantage that either can run
the editorial page of a weekly paper.
These street comments maV: Iw mere
prod'jcts of the imaginatfon. The
fact remains that several wrote, and
