PHONE NO. 50. t WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1919 NO TIME FOR PESSIMISM. That there is no real ground for the pessimism which seems to prevail in man quarters in regard to the business out look is well stated in a letter sent out to its customers bv a well kuowu rotten '.rm tm New Orleans. Its contents are so time ly that we reproduce the letter in full "For nearly two years every industry ia the I'nited States was worked to its fullest capacity to supply the urgent Mads that war called for, and the prof its made were enormous, the greatest the history of American business. Tin same condition applied to the agrit-ultur al section, for they were called upon to feed and clothe the world, denying them selves upon rules established by our (iov ernment, and every commodity raised on the farm, could be sold at heavy profits. "The armistice was signed on N'ovein ber 11th, and within two weeks from that date, a wave of pessimism began to nwee our country from a financial standpoint and at this writing the calamity howlers are still at their work. There is more money in every section of America than there has ever been. The wealthy have spent more money for luxuries than they have ever sent. The wage earner is liv ing on a higher scale than he ever dream ed of, and the agricultural clashes, by be tag able to sell everything that they rais ed at war time prices, have increased their savings by billions as compared with four years ago. "We raised an army of nearly four million men and not a one of them show ed any cowardly pessimism as regards the task cut out for him to do, for be had a nan's job and there was a man to fill it im every sense of the word, then why in the name of common sense should we al low ourselves to greet our returning sol diers as if we were a broken nation finan cially, that all lines of business were go ing to the dogs simply for the reason that we cannot realize the enormous profits ssade during the war. It is time for us to get together, every section of this great country of ours, and work in the closest aad utmost harmony for a common end, predicating every incentive on courage and common sense. We want prosperity in America along sane anil sound lines, and the country is not interested in reac tionaries, being interested in new luxur ies, but it is vitally interested that the whole mass of Americans may move up to a higher plane of living and self respect "America is big and rich, and we have stood a lot of infernal non-sense, but we are not going to stand any nonsense from the Bolsheviki or reactionaries, and if Congress and the Senate will enact such laws as will effect the wholesale deporta- .Jion of every professional radical foreign agitator, the clean and wholesome Ameri- . an who is left behind, will build a great structure for happiness, prosperity, and a jane and sound economic fabric in all fines of business. America is a good .place to live in. It has been too good a place to live in, and all classes may as , well recognize that the rights of others are predicated upon common sense, and justice will have to be rightfully adjudi cated to insure the prosperity that we deserve. "The newspapers play up in scare headlines every little meeting of an un washed, evil smelling assortment of dif ferent races who speak a foreign lan guage that is simply a continuation of the propaganda that Germany left with as when war was declared. If we have aot got enough sense in this country to stamp out such evils and to get together as a strong and United American Nation, then the achievements of the strong Am ericans that have developed our country p to now, will have proved no incentive to the future. We must pass a drastic Immigration law and try to assimilate what we already have here as regards peo ple who do not speak our tongue or un derstand our customs, and those that we cannot assimilate and make good Ameri aa citizens, ship them immediately back to the Babel from which they came. We have a merchant marine. We have the wealth of the world. We have the most productive country in the world from an agricultural standpoint. We have as much skilled labor as any nation in the world of thoroughly good American citi aenship, and that should we allow such pessimism as has developed in three months, as is now evidenced, is a sad re flection on the common sense and courage f America. "Each section should rejoice in the prosperity of the other and all work to a common end, that is, to do all possible to elevate the citizenship of America to a higher plane as to education, hygiene. aad a sane American way of living."

We can not talk; e cannot ak for what we need, or tell iu when or where we hurt ; we cannot tell you when we are sick, or when we are ungry. I j'ray thee dear master to be ind to rne; don't drive me too hard and then tie me in a cold place without a blanket, or get me too hot, or tie me in the hot sun for a long time. I will be very humble and do all I can to please you if yon won 't let" the collar hurt me or the saddle skin my back. Don 't check my head too high I can 't pull as good ; the hot sun bakes my eyes and I can't right off the biting flies. I don't have any hands to get them off with. Pear Master, please look at my teeth and if they have sharp corners and are making my mouth and tongue sore file them off so I can eat. Keep my feet trimmed and shod when I need it, so I can travel and pull your loads. IMease, dear master, don 't whip me when I am doing all I ran. I work for you without pay and never grumble sometimes way in the night; so, dear master, give me plenty of good clean wa ter often, and feed me good. I hate to be poor and look bad. Dear Master, I can 't talk to you but we horses have a language of our own. We can talk to each other. We tell each other our trou bles. We need something beside corn and hay or fodder to keep us healthy. Our kidneys get wrong, we get too hot, we get wormy. We crave something not in corn or hay and we often eat dirt or ma nure trying to find what we need. We are shut up and can get only what you give us. Our hair gets long and ugly and you are ashamed of us and you trade us off to some poor devil to die. Dear Maser, I have lieen talking with my brother ho rses and they tell me a kind horsemaster, who has owned lots of hors es ami has been selling lots of hors for a long time, he has been studying our na ture and has found out what we need. lie has prepared a lot of things which is mixed up with a lot of salt and makes a hard block of it called : EGEBTON '8 MEDICATED 8 ALT . BRICK. It contains everything we steed. Ton know when you drove me over to see Bill Jones you put me in the horse stable and there was one of those Salt Brick in it. I could hardly eat my dinner for licking this Edgert.in's Salt Brick, and I do feel so much bet"cr ever since. My cough has stopped. I Jim Iwinnir.g to shed off the ugly coat of hair. I don't want to eat dirt or manure. I drink more water my kidneys act better. I have s'.oppe scouring so bad, and the nasty worms have been corning from me ever since. Iear Muster, I do believe if you would keep one in my trough I would get young again. You forget to give me the pow ders and it is no good any way. We lick the brick and when we get enough we stop. We know how to doctor ourselves if we could get the stuff, Everybody nearly sells Edgerton's Salt Brick. They don 't cost much a dollar 's worth will last me six months. Don 't trade me off to die. I can do lots of good hard work for you yet, if you will keep Edgerton's Salt Brick in my trongh and you will receive a just reward hereafter for taking care of your old slave, who has done so much for you.
