his crops must be done.

THE GOBLIN AROUND THE CORNER.

There are always some calamty-hoWers VINO
are making dire predictions of the panic that IS
confronting u.s. or at least of the hard times that
are ahead of us.
Pinned down to facts, however, these pessmlsts
are unable to name concrete evidences oil STRESS
Perhaps their own business, because of misman-
agement is being allowed to go to seed, and since
misery loves company, they wish to feel that the
other fellow is having a hard time too.
Panics are largely psychological. By constant
harping on hard times. is possible for people to
believe that there is something to it, after all.
The word is passed along, and at length business
confidence is shaken, and the soil is prepared Tor
real trouble.
The good old United States is not going to the
bow-wows Although indeed, our condition is
not Utopian prosperity is ahead of us if we take
n sane outlook on life and business, and hoe our
row without looking for the goblin that is around
the corner but never eats US up.

ABOUT OUR QUESTIONS.
Southwestern Presbyterian San,


Albuquerque, N. M,
September 20, 1920.
Editor Morning Journal:
Dear Sir:-It seems to me that
questions number five and six
in your Open Letter to Gov
ernor Cox are unfair and
only serve to befog an issue,
that is sadly in need of settlement
from an absolutely non-partlsan
view In effect. you ask If the
American voter is capable OF pass
in judgment on a question OF in
.ternational affairs vitality concern
ing his own country. If he, or she,
isn't then who is?
When President Wilson was
elected to be the head of this coun-
try he was constitutionally au-
thorized to draft our covenants
with foreign countries. The league
of nations was not his own orlgi-
nal idea that he was trying to foist
upon the country, as some would
have us believe, but was the JOINT
product of many great thinkers
and authorities on international
law such as Roosevelt, Taft. Root,
yea, even Lodge himself, and not
to mention the hard-headed states
men of our European neighbors.
Opposed to this great array are
a few great men like Harding =
Johnson, and Borah; good men IN
their way, but hardly to be classed
as great statesmen.
If, as you intimate, we have no
minds of our own, whose lead then
shall we follow?
Respectfully,
PAUL G. MERKLE.
