The calamity bowler. who is con-

should be choked. He should be
banished from his community and
branded as a malefactor. The
country has no place for him and
would be better off without him.
He is a menace to sound institu-
tions. Sane men are safe men.
Silence is golden, when that silence
means so much in the regeneration
of business, Speech is silver, but
should be used as a basis of sound
activity.
Legitimate business is getting
upon a sounder basis. Already it
is reported to be greatly improved
in the East and Northwest. and
the tide is rolling in on the central
states. 1t is coming. Already its
influence is felt, and there is bet
ter outlook than there has been for
several months. Old stocks are
moving at cut rates. New stocks
are coming in to replace them, bet
ter in quality and lower in price.
The people are able to buy and to
feed and clothe their families better
than for several months. This is
known to everyone. Then why per-
init the calamity bowler to retard
progress. create suspicion and check
the tide of prosperity that is
coming along our way. and which
would come faster if people had
confidence in the industrial efforts
of business men.
Choke the calamity bowler
wherever you find him. His pres
ence is depressing. his speech nau-
seating. and his misguided zeal a
hindrance to the march of indus
trial activity.-Tupelo Review.
