SUNS SMILE.

morning ana BldHccu Ouo " Wv
window. lie saw strange sigh
and exclaimed, Suns S shining
1t was the first time for nearly
a week that his eyes had beheld
the golden rays beaming warm
and bright and no wonder 1t
startled him. 1t was only for a
moment that his vision was dl-
rected to the window and then he
was pounding the keys OF his
machine again and Eye ed, IN
the front office, could hear the
"mats" dropping more rapidly.
Ouly a little thing had hap
pened but it started something IN
the heart Of "Milt, I" the limo man,
and it spread through the shop
till it reached the fellow who was
wondering what in the samhill
he was going to write an editorial
about. "Ye ed" had heard the
exclamation Of the operator and
at the same time he looked up
and out Of the window. Sure
huff, it was a fact-the sun was
really shining. Eureka We saw
the light-away with the scissors
and exchanges" suns shining"
and we have something to write
about. Now the whole thing
assumes a different coloring; the
world takes on a bright aspect.
It's a great day, folks; come on,
let smile and be happy.
What's the use Of worry
ing about the coal strike? There
isn't a chance that we're going
to freeze to death this winter Out
in the woods nearby is enough
fuel to keep us warm for years
and all we have to do is to go out, |
chop it down and bring it in.
Let the strikers strike; we can
strike, too with our axes and |
what wen do to the trees here
abouts will be a-plenty. Also,
Wen feel good after it is over be-
cause we have demonstrated that
we can help ourselves. Away
with all the baby talk about max
ing somebody else furnish us fuel
we'll get it for ourselves
The suns shining and every
thing is lovely. No matter what
our woes are, we know that
these afflictions endure but for
season. The same old sun had
been there all the time; it was
just obscured by the clouds for
few days and then its masterful
beams broke through, dissipating
the gloom. It's happened just like
it has a million times before since
the beginning of creation; al
ways the clouds drift away and
always the sun shines again. We
knew it was going to happen this
time but somehow or another we
couldn't t realize that while the
gloom hung over us and blinded |
our eyes to the truth. The bright |
orb is flaming now and it is 60
ing to keep on doing business at
the old stand--don t forget that.
On the national horizon we
see great banks of black
clouds hanging-industrial unrest,
clashes between capital and labor,
II. G. L., threatened war with
Mexico, bolshevism; it S all there,
no denying it, and an ugly look
ing lot it is. It's hard to see
through all that dark mass but
behind it the sun is shining. The
American people are still able to
meet any situation which con-
fronts them; their energies are
sufficient for any task and they
have the common-sense and the
courage to grapple successfully
with any force that attempts to
thwart their progress. When put
to the test, they will assert the
same indomitable spirit which
made their forefathers go forth
and conquer the wilderness; they
are not made Of the soft sort of
stuff which makes weaklings sue
cumb when confronted by OBJ
stacles.
Over against all the evils which
threaten our national life, set the
store Of common-sense, industry,
honesty, love of order and liber-
ty, which is still the possession of
the overwhelming majority of the
people of America and which in
the end will re-assert itself, de.
stroying everything that stands in
its way. DAYS of turmoil and
