THE ORIGINAL BOOSTER

BENJAMIN Franklin, who was the
early exponent OF the idea of thrift
In this country. carried a mighty
cheerful lesson in optimism for the
hosts OF blue brethren who are per-
iodically likely to see the future of
the country surrounded by clouds OF
gloom. Ben left a rather voluminous
record of his views upon various
topics, being a printet-man, and given
to writing. In his autobiography he
says: There are always croakers in
every country boding its ruin"
He cites the case of Philadelphia
citizen who was always complaining
that his home town was losing
proposition and declined to take the
risk Of buying home in 1t.
AT last | had the pleasure" writes
Franklin. of seeing him give five
times as much for a house as he
might have bought 1t for when he
began croaking.'
in cases where the growth and pros
perity OF his country and its com
munities were concerned, and the
trait served him well. Even In the
days Of the revolution when things
looked black for the infant republic
Franklin's optimistic soul was not
daunted. At that time he wrote "The
Internal State of America In the
spirit OF one who saw only the glow
ing promises of the future. and he
was everlastingly right about 1t.
Franklin's optimism was not of the
waiting variety. He was willing to
take of his coat To go to work for
his home town on any and all occa-
sions. When business was bad he
went out and made II better, and
when the growing city needed new
institutions he helped to create them.
He was the watchman upon the walls.
but he didn't coniine his activities TO
watching. he prophesied prosperity
and helped to bring II about. And
the pennies and dollars he saved and
made were devoted to the upbuildins
Of the institutions that afterwards
counted 50 heavily in community
building.
Franklin is d decidedly encouraging
figure to bark back to for the Ameri.
can citizen who tires at his job and
sees the future through blue spccta.
cles. Business-goo and bad
growth. progress. these things he
saw pass around in a circle like Il
wheel. and in the bad seasons Frank
lin saw the encouragement ahead, He
was II decidedly serviceable citizen
10 have about. and the nation should
now have more men of his stripe.
