No Panic This Year.

Leslie's: Occasionally of late, pessi-
mism has become so intense that there
have been predictions of panic in
1920. But if history is to repeat itself
there will be no such financial disaster
this year. In no presidential year
since the nation began has a panic Oc-
Cured. Business may have been dull
and there may have been plenty OF
depression, but this has never cuiminnt-
ed in a general crash. The fact Is as
curious as it is reassuring. The eX-
PLANTATION may be that the powers of in
dustry and finance are particularly on
guard during presidential campaigns,
having made due preparation sbefore-
hand, having trimmed sail carefully.
and exercised especial vigilance. They
have been ready to meet any possible
storm and so have not been struck
hard by unexpected blasts.

In the letter from Mr.. MalOney were
three application blanks which are re-

clans can secure their permits. The
questions to be answered are quite
comprehensive, and it is necessary to
state the amount of alcohol needed by
each applicant.
This letter contains information of
considerable advantage to local ply
sicians as they had been Informed that
the holding of federal permit to

Gloom a Moral Poison,

Minneapolis Journal: However de-
plorable the conditions of things, moral
or ma terial, there is no reasonable cX-
cuSe for the harboring Of gloom. Gov
eminent is not much mended by
scOfOnic sc0lding, nor morals by habit
ual fOrebOding. Seeing the worse side
is profitable only when it stimulates to
the building up of the better side.
Just now, when the world is in dis
order and publicity is plentiful, one. is
apt to see black in whatever direction
one looks. Probably not since the Con-
federation days. following the Ameri-
can revolution, has there been in this
country so universal Il diStrust of hui
man honesty as now. grating in poll
tics. prOiitcering in trade, Stacking in
industry, hypocrisy in rcligiOn-thesc
black evils seem to exist everywhere,
and to color the whole moral atmOS-
phere. They have come to form a too
large proportion of our reading and Of
our conversation.
Gloom is born of distruSt. and Of all
mental attitudes. diStruSt is most de-
mOralizing. Distrust is the immediate
parent of the anarchy hitherto so com
mon in Latin America. and now rife in
Germany, Russia and all the Near
East A prominent Mexican. when ask

No one who constantly harps on our
national sins will much improve Amer
lea. There is of course, Il Kind OF OPP
timism that borders on cheerful idiOcy.
But this is the other extreme of the
undisceming mentality.
In order that we may keep our
Judgment sane and give our country
constructive aid, it is necessary to re-
member that in America there is a
great body Of people rigidly honest,
clearly religious. thoroughly patriotic.
and ready to sacrifice their own for
the cOuntry'S good. We must admit
also that even now we have some Otli-
cialS whose motives are good and
whose intelligence is of Il high order.
Particularly should the church,
while renouncing sin. remain cheerful.
OF all high places in the world the
pulpit is the last for the propagation
of gloom. The very word gospels
means good news" and good news
is the parent of hope. The promotion
