Letter to the Editor
WHAT AMERICA NEEDS

HoULT, Nov. 24.-CEditor, The
West .Virginian)-If / wished to
state what America needs worst
my first thought would be OF the
remark made by an old preacher
several years ago in which he said
that people were worrying be.
cause, as they claimed, there is
an absence Of great men and wo.
men in this age, n lack OF extra
ordinary ability. He then stated
that in his honest opinion the
world was not suffering for need
OF wisdom and genius nearly SO
much as for plain old.fashioned,
hard.headed horse sense.
This remark has stuck to mo
through the years like a burr to
an old gray mares tail and comes
to me now with redouhled force
as being the crying need Of Amer.
ica at present. 1t seems to me that
the whole country acts like man
who has been on a Gag" and has
only half sobered up. The war
seems to have unbalanced US and
we have not yet put both feet on
terra firma. We don't seem to
realize that, AS q man soweth he
shall also reap" and likewise with
nations. We have not gotten over
tho idea that we can get some-
thing for nothing.
