^EDITORIAL
Holding economic lines-a challenge
More than 2,000 years ago, Seneca, Rome's chief moralist,
said; "The best ideas are common property."
According to ideas of many of our best economic seers to-
day, the challenge of the hour is hold our economic lines.
This means careful study, astute analyzing, correct buying
as to stocking up our merchandise, not to mention a study of
trends of the day, and ability to fit into it so that all of us shall
be benefitted.
This is good economics.
It assures a low of prosperity to all, with a reasonable
income to meet the demands of the home, the business and
the government.
Spending more than we receive is not advisable in any
economic school of thought. And yet miserly withholding is to
shut off the flow of a reasonable stream of prosperity. The
wisest of all stated, "There is that scattereth and increaseth
yet more; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet and
tendeth only to want."
Our present-day high standard of economy and prosperity
in America is the result of our sensible application of our capi-
talistic system in America.
Our capitalistic system is the greatest boon to all mankind
in the way of furnishing a dinner for the appetite and an appe-
tite for the dinner. Our health standard and our fight to main-
tain a strong body, a quick mind and an alert thinker has
placed our people on a level where we are all aristocrats in the
highest sense of that term. For in America aristocrats are the
people who produce the tools with which we work, the food
which we eat, the motive power which carries us along the
highways and roadways of our ribbon-threaded travelways,
and makes of all of us individually able to enjoy a standard
of living that even the Kings of Solomon's day hardly dreamed.
We can leave the cold figures of our economy to our bank-
ers and our analytical minds, but to bring the fruits of our
labors down so low on the boughs of our trees that even the
poorest may reach up and eat—that explains to all of us
what good times means in America.
This we have been having. This we must retain.
To hate war, and yet will fight if we have to. But to live
peacefully with all men,- to let each one rest underneath his
own shade and fig tree, and drink deep from the fountain of
the wells of water that never run dry, and enjoy the fruits of his
own labor and be at peace with God and man—this would be
greater than any midsummer's night dream.
And yet, all this is something that has to be earned.
First we must earn the ownership.
Second we must equip our spirits and mental faculties to
where ownership is more than a mere title, a record of some
thing in writing. It must be an ownership which equips the
individual soul with the appetencies and impulses, the grasp
ing qualities and the mental faculties to understand "what he
is reading, else he will go on into some labyrinth of ignorance
in some Queen of Candace Egyptian country where no mis-
sionary by the wayside may join him in his chariot and en-
lighten him as to the deep meanings of God's world of intellect
and science.
