The Cart Before the Horse It is a favorite theory of a good many spellbinders that our present troubles remain with us because we are afraid. This 43 the old "psychological depression" cry, revamped. f But fear springs from conditions, not conditions from fear. , We want to cure theVdtsease, not the symptoms. "Early and provident fear is the mother of safety," said Burke, "Be wary, then ; best safety lies in fear," said Shakespeare, Shakes-peare, years, before. "The mind that knows how to fear knows how to go safely," said Pubilius Syrus, the Latin philosopher, centuries centur-ies ago. f The American people are not naturally fearful. On the contrary. We are, by and large, the most optimistic people on earth and rightly so. We have a better future to which to look forward. But when we see the terrible results of mismanagement of a wonderful country, we begin to feel afraid. We should be dumb-imbeciles if we didn't. Things cannot be straightened out by a universal assumption as-sumption on our part that everything's all right and that providence Will shower down prosperity on us next week. Optimism will return just about the timethat political and industrial leaders demonstrate that they possess horse sense, and not before. The Willingness To Share If the Christmas season did nothing else, it demonstrated demonstrat-ed if a demonstration were needed the willingness of the average man to share up with his less fortunate neighbor. From all over the city there came the same story of help for the helpless, food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless. home-less. Big business may be.; predatory, but the humble citizen, at heart, is generousJIe seems callous, perhaps, because usually, no one troubles to. tell him of the misfortunes of others. But if requires merely a hint that help is needed to bring it in full measure. If It is more blessed to" give than to receive, 'it is. also more' pleasant It is only those who gave who can realize the joy of being : able to lighten another's burden along the highway of life. J ... ' r In the city today are thousands of citizens with that joy in thCir hearts. ' i -;-.--'- - . . ,-.- r ' ; , 1 . t t ?
