PESSnMuSM.

A reader asked us, "You have much
optimism. Your paper CLOVIS with it.
But doesn't good judgment dictate that
you be more pessimistic?"
Listen sister, the world is coated with
pessimism 1t is like tuberculosis germs
everywhere. An individual must have
a superb amount of optimism to be even
near normal. There are so many gloom
carriers, pessimism peddlers, and the
like that if an Individual didn't glow a
bit with the elements of hope and faith
he would find himself in the middle
of a perpetually dark night. A whale
of lot of optimism is required merely
to think normally.
Don't worry. If there is any one thing
the world needs today, it is optimism.
The nation is suffering from scarcity of
enthusiasm. Enterprise. McComb, Miss.

AMERICAS OLD DREAM, SECURITY
FOR ALL.

Just how far the fall congressional
elections will turn into national refer
endum on Mr.. Roosevelts new program
for social security is matter for the
political wiseacres to forecast.
At this distance, however, two things
seem more or less evident
First, the argument is likely to be
over the way of reaching this goal,
rather than over the wisdom of trying
to reach it at all
Second, the tentatively outlined pro-
gram looks very much like simple
extension Of the oldest and most ten
aciously held dream in American life.
Security for the individual in Amer
lea, as Mr.. Roosevelt sees it, seems to
call for three things: Productive en-
ployment; protection against misfor-
tune, and proper housing.
Over the details of this program there
is room for vast argument; over the
way of putting it into effect there is
even more. The most conservative of
capitalists and the reddest of radicals
could endorse these general aims in
: complete accord, but they'd be apt to
have fine row trying to settle on the
best way Of attaining them.
Nevertheless, it is fine thing to have
this very general goal set up as an
objective.
This kind of security is exactly the
sort Of thing that led most of our an
cestors to come to the new world in
the first place. They were under
economic pressure in Europe; they felt
themselves to be at the mercy of forces
that they could .neverli control; over
here, in new land, they hoped that
they could construct society in which
human beings could have less fear of
hardship, of poverty, and of hunger.
The belief in that dream has been
responsible for most of the optimism
which Is so typical of the American
spirit. We have felt, for more than a
century that we were somehow building
a society here in which the common
man would get better break than he
ever got elsewhere.
Seeking to protect the common man
against unemployment, againts acci-
dents, and against the traditional
penury Of old age, and trying to guar
antee that he shall have decent home
to live in--wf1at is this but an effort
to make the old American dream come
true?
For the next decade, at least we
shall be arguing about the best way OF
doing this. Maybe we'll try MIR. Roose-
velt's way and maybe we'll try some
body else's.
But there can be little doubt that in
one way or another we shall do our
utmost to make the dream come true
