THE COMMUNITY PESS1MIST

There is in Oklahoma a little town
called Kusha. and the secretary of
the commercial organization there
says any man who becomes pessi-
mistic will be banished from the
community. He spoke jestingly, Of
course, and yet he voiced the feel
ing which is usually held toward
the community pessimist. The lat
ter has always been considered per-
soma non grata by any and all towns.
He constitutes an undesirable anon
ally.
Posted on the inside of every
guests room in a country hotel of
which we know is a neatly printed
placard which has this to say:
! Don't kick There are four other
hotels in town, and eight passenger
trains leave every twenty-four
hours"
1t is way the proprietor has OF
saying if you don't like this hotel
YOU are not obliged to stay there
The same may be flttingly said OF
the community pessimist. This i.
one of the reasons why he Is regard.
ed so unfavorably and impatiently
He doesn't have to live in the towr
he decries. Nor should he. Tw,
courses are open, and one of then
should be pursued-either he shoul,
do his mans part toward the up
building of the town in which h
lives, or he should leave it and max
his home in some other communit,
/ which he can conseientiously be
lieve in and recommend.-Talla
