Work Harder--Tnik LESS.
Right from the heart OF Wall
street, where all OF The trouble lead
ing up TO this silly panic began
Fight from the Office OF the daily
organ Of that seething pit of specu-
lation. the Wall Street journal, we
hear This very sensible bit Of advice:
pay no attention to fears-do
business"
This is excellent counsel. The.
trouble with a great many people in
Lincoln today, and in other cities,
ami in every part of the country,
possibly, unless there be a section
or tyo where this strange and sense
less unrest has not been felt, is that
they are talking too much.
Some merchants permit customers
TO .tand in their stores, waiting for
opportunities to buy, while they, the
merchants, talk, talk, talk.
The wholesale dealer wastes an
boar or more at lunch time, talking,
talking, talking, when he ought TO
be at the office laying plans for new
| business.
We are talking too much and not
working hard enough. The fact is
that there isn't much to talk about,
but there Is Il lot OF work waiting
10 be done.
Positively absurd are the fears eX-
pressed by many people. It's talk
that makes panics. G%roundless fe
make %panits. We have no panic J.
and shall not have one provided tAo
people stop talking and Get Busy.
Theatre fires seldom burn any
body. The people are hurt trying To
crush their way out OF the building.
Not many people are killed i'll
runaways. They are nearly always
killed as the result of jumping out
OF the buggy. Possibly the horses
are stopped, without eveB turning
the vehicle over. But the damage
has been done the occupants have
damaged themselves.
4 panic" is not a material con
dition. II is a mental upheaval.
N3.1crc IS ne reason why No should
bayo a panic, and we will not hays
one provided the people work more
and talk less,-Lincoln Star.
