■I—
Don’t Talk "Hard Times."
The’’People-Sentinel believes that
psychology plays a big P ar t so-
caHed “good times 1 ' and "hard times,"
but whether or not we are right In
that belief, we believe that every
body will agree with us when wo
ray that talking "hard times" doesn’t
better the situation. In fact, it ft?
bound to lower the moral of the peo- s
pie. as we used to say during" war
times.
•<i> i
It has been conclusively proven
that a well man can be made sick if
every acquaintance he meets tells
him how badly he looks. It is a mat
ter of suggestion. And so it is, in a
large measure, with “hard times."
We are not writing, of nrurse, about
p< Hods of depression brought about
by a crop failure or some other dire
calamity, hut, as a matter of fact,we
have heard this “hard times” talk, in
gooil times and had. with painful
regularity since the memory of this
writer runneth not to the contrary.
Naturally, we have prosperous
years, and years that are not so good,
and our contention is that the bad
years are made worse by all this
talk of “hard times.” Business may
be had in som<> mecial line, while the
“other fellow" may be making money
that he is willing to spend. But as
soon as he hears this “hard times"
talk he begins to wonder if the slump
Isn’t going to hit him in about another
minute and he promptly decides that
pehaps he had better hold on to
what he has made. That makes mat
ters worse, for he rot onlv quits
^spending money but what he does ha«
its influence on somebody else. And
so it goes in an ever-widening circle,
like a nehhle thrown into a millpond,
until all lines of business are adverse
ly affected.
Now. don’t understand us fo advo
cate that a man should snend beyond
his mean* He rhould not do that
at any time, hut the point we are
tryinsr to make is that the fellow who
may he able to spend is often fright
ened into not doing so bv the continual
rrv of “hard times." .,nd if we pe»-
aist in the practice we can’t expect
better times.
It is much easier to smile than to
frown—it requires the use of fewer
muscles of the face and requires less
physical exertion. Let’s get into the
habit of smiling more. I.et’s inject a
little more optimism into our daily
contact with other people. We’ll all
feel better and we honestly believe
it will nay from a financial stand
point. At any rate, it won’t do any
harm and there is the chance that it
will put a few more dollars into cir
culation.
In conclusion, we might quote a
* IHttr rtry me tbit w?"i¥aTa~humber of
years ago and that has stuck in' our
mind ever since:
“If you strike a thorn or rose—
Keep a-goin’.
It it hails or if it snows—
Keep a-goin’.
Tain’t no use to sit and whine
If the fish ain’t on your line,
Bait your hook and keep on tryin*—
Keep a-goin*.

Legislation or Education
Home, Sweet Home.
"Home, Sweet Home’’, as „ melodv.
is still known to every man and
woman in the country, hut it repres
ents today merely some lovely music
eet around some empty words.
Even the seng our motherland fath
ers almost looked on as a hymn is
“jazzed” to make rhythm for frivo-
Vws feet, is desecrated at thousands
of dances that make “Home, Sweet
Home” a moelce»|\
There is distressingly little re
spect for the fathers or the mothers
where there is distressingly little
realization on their part of the sweet
responsibilities of parenthood.
It is a condition that is dangerou>J I
a condition that must be remedied,
ewen though it should mean a total
revolution of our existing religious
aukl school teaching.
The home must be saved, but the
country murft first be aroused to an
oppreciation of the fact that home
life is not only seriously menaced and
in a very unhealthy state' but is, ac
tually, in an almost moribund condi
tio*, not of itself, but through the
croochment* that have had such de-
atractive influences.
Wh) says
Americans.”
That idea—that myth—was ex
ploded the other day when the
United States treasury revealed that
despite this a ge of automobiles, radios
flappers and cake-eaters, Mr. and
Mrs. Average Citizen saved two bil
lions of dollars more in 1925 than
they did in 1924.
Savings bank accounts increased
that much! -
This tremendous jump in savings—
MONEY IN THE BANK—despite
the wave of fake promotion, the fol
lies and foibles of femini
on method of salesmanship and suppos
ed tendency of living beyond income.
It proves two points: That Ameri
ca is in rather prosperous condition
and that the teaching of thrift, in
augurated years ago and intensified
during -and silice the war, is begin
ning to get real results.
When the savings accounts of
Americans increase two billions a
one year, we .can't believe there’s
much ground for ialling us “extrava
gant.”
T. H. Russell, head of the. Clean
Language League of America, is
quoted as saying, in effect, that, '‘Tt
we can’t stop loose language by edu
cation we’ll do it by legislation.”
It is to be hoped that Mr. Russell
was misquoted. It would-be much
better if he had said, “We trawt
stop loose language by legislation
but we can do it by education.”
Abolishing of profanity by statute
f \
would be utterly impossibjerlb our
way of thinking. No onb will deny
that there is too much dirty language,
but the language reformers will
never legislate it ioff the tongues.
pie about the viciousness of it, more
than likely would have a good effect.
