Have Faith in America

Charles Schwab has done many things for
his country and holds the position of being one
of the countrys greatest manufacturers by sheer
worth of his ability and genius. When such a
man speaks of conditions generally and of the
needs of his own country in particular, his words
carry with them added emphasis
Never has this man lost faith in the ultimate
ability of the American people to solve every
problem that is presented to them. He is an
optimist of the right sort when America is under
discussion. -
And so when he called on business men the
other day to go ahead, it was his faith in his
country that prompted the message. He him.
self is what he is because he had faith in himself
and faith in the country of which he is citizen.
Our vast natural resources, the skill and in
genuity of our workers, the sagacity and ntei-
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1921-11-02

gence of our business men, the integrity of our
fnanciers, Mr.. Schwab believes, are the factors
that mean prosperity.
If the whole country had this faith in itself
and in its possibilities we would soon be forging
forward fast on the road to prosperity and hap
piness. Because too many of us are obsessed
with the spirit of fear and doubt, too many
projects are tagging, too many enterprises are
still held in allegiance, and every one is waiting
for the other fellow to go ahead.
Mr. Schwab has demonstrated his faith in his
country by proceeding to go ahead irrespective
of the doubts and fears of others.
So long as men are fearful and in hesitating
mood, they will not be able to win success. No
battle was ever won by hesitating general. The
military genius is not afraid to strike at the op
perfume moment. Marshal Foch, with two wings
of his army in retreat, had enough nerve to
smash forward with his center, thereby stem
ming defeat and forcing the enemy to retreat.
In the final struggle he had the audacity to strike
when victory seemed in the hand of the enemy.
That's why he is a great soldier.
The same principle of action holds true in
other affairs of life. If mean fears to put
things to an issue and advance, he cannot reason
ably expect to win. Men of the Schwab and Foch
type have the faith in themselves to act on facts
We need more of this spirit

MANY LETTERS CARRY
EXTRA POSTAGE STAMP

ut is extraordinary remarked the
postoffice clerk how many letters
are mailed with 8 cents worth OF
stamps on them-a two and one.
You would suppose everyone would be
familiar with the rates of postage on
first class matter, at least. but it is
obvious from that added 1-cent stamp
that thousands are not, and in the
course of a year the government gets
a great deal more money for carrying
letters than it asks of the public.
"As a rule, the letters which have 8
cents postage paid on them are writ
ten by individuals, and, judging by
me stationery and handwriting, they
are mostly from women, but not in
frequently the mail from business
house carries an extra and unneces-
sary 1-cent stamp.
Play Safe.
"The motive of the letter writers
is, of course, to be on the safe side
and as they guess their letters to be a
little too heavy they stick on an extra
1-cent stamp. Almost everyone knows
he can send letter weighing up to
one ounce for 2 cents, and many per

matter of fact. they usually are wrong
, in thinking the letter weighs more
than an ounce, as it takes a pretty

"The rate on first class mail is {.

and if the letter weighs the least bi
over an ounce, it costs cents to send
or it will be 6 cents if it is a shade
over two ounces, and so on.
