President Clowry and General Su-
p~erintendent Brooks held a conference
today to discuss the situation. Brooks
said: There is no reason why the
strike in Chicago should bring about
a strike in New York. This trouble in
Chicago is local In its nature and
should not affect this city.

1t is said at the local headquarters
OF the te~legraphers' union today that
a strike Of operators here. because Of

FRIDAY MORNING.

you feels little downcsst over the peculiarly gloomy view of the present taken by some we'll meaning pessfmtst of today. you wilL find it real com what a well-meaning pessimist of the thought of our people sixty-fvs years ago; and then think of the extra ordinary achievement, the extraordi- terialIy. of those sixty-fve years. Dick ems can be read by us now with profit; Elijah Program. Hannibal Challop, Jeff ferson Brick and Scadder have their and the wise thing for us to do Is to recognize that these are still types of evil in politics, journalism, businesg and private life, and. to war against rank folly to regard these as the only. or as the chief types in our national life. It was not of much consequence whether Dickens made such an error sequence If we ourselves did; for q foolish pessimism Is an even greater foe of healthy national growth than a foolish optimism. IL wee not that that had no basis in fact; on the con trary, what he said was true, as far az 1t went; the trouble was that out of many such half truths he made a pie often half truth is the most danger ous faisehood. 1t would be simply silly to be angry over Martin chuzzlewit: on the contrary, read it, be amused by It, profit by it: and don't be misled by 1t. Keep a lively watch against the present day Programs and Bricks: but above all. distrust the man who would persuade you to feel downheart- ed about the country because of these same Programs and Bricks, past or present. IL would be foolish to ignore their existence, or the existence of anything else that is bad in our na- tional life; but 1t would be even more foolish to ignore the yaster forces that tell Tor Righteousness Friends, there IS every reason why we should fight there is also every reason why we should feel sturdy and confident hope for the future. There are many wrongs to right; there are many and powerful wrong doers against whom to war; and 1t would be base to shrink from the contest, or to fail to, wage it with a high, a resolute will. But I am sure that we shall win in the contest be- cause 1 know that the heart of our people is sound. Cur average men and this is true in all sections of sur country, and among all classes of our countrymen. There Is no other nation asai earth with snch vast natural l-xe- sources. or with such a high standard of living and of industrial efficiency among it's workers. We have as a ma tion an era of unexampled prosperity ahead Of us; we shall enjoy it. and our children will enjoy it after us.

It is region whose people are t1istinctively American in all their fhot1rhts in ali their ways of looking at life. and in its past and its present alike 1t is typical of our country The olde H men present can still remember the pioneer days, the days of the white. tilted OK wagon, of the ennigrant, and Of the log cabin in which that en1fgrant first lived when he settled to his task as a pioneer farmer. They were rough days, days of hard work, and the peo- plenwno did that work seemed tnem- selves uncouth and forbidding to vis- itors who could not look below the surface. It is curious and amusing to think that even as genuine a lover or national prejudices as Charles Dick ems, should have selected that region where we are now standing as the seat ofehis forIorn Eden In Martin Chuz- xlewit. The country he so bitterly as- sailed Is now one of the most fertile and productive portions of one of the most fertile and productive agricultural territories in all the world. and the dwe1lerN in this territory represent higher average of comfort, intelligence and sturdy capacity for self-govern- ment than the people in any tract of like extent in any other continent.
