Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-11-26

Editor Futrell, of the Wiacoochee Sun, is
nobody's fool but is iconocastic to high de-
gree. In the last issue of his paper he opens large
subject in this wise
"'Who brought on the panic?' is the absorb
ing topic now everywhere. Not l., says Pres
dent Roosevelt Il did not do it, welding my big
stick against illegitimate corporations Not l.
SAYS Governor Smith, II did not do it by blowing
hot air from my gas bag across the cotton fields Of
Georgia" Not l. says Tom Watson l. did
not do it animadverting through the big bazzoo
against railroads." the greatest developers of the
age And so on down the line nobody is res
ponsible. 1t is just ,one of those unexplainabe,
unsearchable inheritances the people get from the
god of chance"
Then he proceeds to answer it, probably un-
Intentionally, but it is a.complete answer.
The query and the answer we're print
ed in the same paper, but our guess is, they were
not written on the same day.
Wen bet a thousand Clearing House Certif-
Gates that Futrell was hungry when he wrote the
above query and that he had just eaten a big
dinner when he wrote the following complete an
swer to his querulous query:
In every community there are people so sadly
bright side of any question or condition, and i'm
mediately consign their communities to the
s'demnition bow -wows' should. the slightest
breeze of adversely spring up. These people can
bring on a panic by their carping when really
there is no actual cause or condition to produce
one. In every season of unrest or panic what the
people need most is cheerful optimism, the main
tenance of confidence and good cheer. Our pessi
mstic friends should learn that lack of confidence
produce pancs and their carping increases rather
than diminishes their destructive force upon bust
ness.

Energy and perseverance are essential to sue

comes from earnest effort
The average man is weakling or lacks ener

common honesty and will fall short of the goal Or
what is about the same lose out i'll the race witt

energy enough to do it, and the other qualification

Well Fitzgerald is hummer; those people
down there have got the world in miniature.
