| Show the gloomer used to be merely a pest and a nuisance to his neighbors and himself the fellow who was always going around with a mournful mein who say or see anything even pleasant about people his community his work was just naturally disregarded nobody liked him but nobody paid any attention to him but today the gloomer is a downright liability and drag hes a hindrance to free thoughts and action hes a totally unnecessary chunk of rust in our too well worn economic machinery in the high speed at which that machinery was running a few years y ears ago converting its rapid revolutions into prosperity at every turn of the wheel the meanings moan ings of the gloomer were lost in the busy whirr the old machine has slowed down pretty near to a walk so ahat now the bloomers glo omers rusty cre akings are heard and heeded all too clearly therefore it has become time to deal with him and promptly with all harshness his rust ought to be filed rig right ht off so that at least we can be spared his discordant note among all the other doleful clamors of the machine in process ot of rebuilding the best handle him is to shut him up so if you find yourself or your neighbor or the fellow you do business with setting etting 3 up an altogether unnecessary amount of wailing jump into a snow bank or a lake or a river or somewhere or throw the other fellow there enough of this treatment will sort of discourage this undesirable and sooner or later hell just naturally shut up and what a relief it would be if we could make all the bloomers glo omers dumb at least when they are mingling with other folks |
