AMERICANISM CREED.
"I believe in llir Unit'd State of America and Ihr prin-
ciples of fiTclmn. justice equality and humanity UpOB which it
was fomdrd am! fur which American patriots have given their
lives and fortunes.
"I believe it is my duty towards my country to love it; to
timnnrt its constitution: to ohey its laws; to respect its Han;
sml to defend it against all enemies."
T STILL THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
It is fine ''hnm.in interest story" the story of the Texas
Tinntier preacher and bis wife and th.-ir eleven child. n one .l
whdltl is the ptttOT of the hirst Baptist church in t hickash.i. b(jn
news gatherer thoiiKht he could make it more IntereMllfg BV
adding a touch of fiction to it in connection with a pit lure Ol
the eight sons but it wasn't necessary to embellish it. It is n a y
much more than a "human interest'' narrative; if it were fully
toM it would be fiiund to epitomize HlC largest and mot! valuable
volume of American history -one that has never l.een completely
written; WC mean the volume that would adequately describe the
development of individual and family life in thi' country of ours.
One may know all ahotit wars constitutional conventions con-
gresses ' presidents and the like and still have a very meagre
knowledge of the history of America because the .doings and
savings of the hih and mighty constitnU only nail patt ol the
story. In the annals of the humble the inconspicuous who have
always composed the vast hulk of our people in their progress and
achievements as they bent their energies to the tasks before them
in their successes and failures their joys and sorrows is romance
the counterpart of which can be found in neither the life nor the
literature of any other land.
A Baptist minister on the Texas frontier didn't draw a very
princely salary. Ample opportunities were his for doing Rood and
faying up treasures in heaven but when it came time for the
preacher of this story to send his oldest son to college he had to
borrow the money and pay interest at the rate of 20 per cent and
he kept on borrowing to send the others with the whole family
working to help pay it back. Hut the time came when the pioneer
preacher could work no more and he passed on to his reward
leaving a widow w ithout a home and with four of the younger chil-
dren to rear and educate. The mortgage on the little farm was
paid off and every one of the sons received a college education
four of (hem becoming doctors three preachers and one a sue
CesslttJ merchant. Of the fruits of the frontier preacher's 'him
istry we know nothing but who will say that in the rearing til
Such a family he and his good wife did not serve their country
well? .
Many years ago somebody declared that the word "America"
is but another name for "opportunity." The success of the Texas
frontier preacher Rev. M. J. Taylor and the results of his life
work as represented by his children were very large when
measured by the true standard but the story of the Taylor family
varying only in unessential details can he truthfully told of mil-
lions of other families in our country. It is because this story is
typical of America that it is peculiarly intcrcsti"g and instructive.
Read history or consult your own experience as you have come
in contact with the people and you will discover the outstanding
fact to be that the substantial men and women in our country
with few exceptions have come from such homes as the one in
which the Taylor children were reared. From such homes have
come our mighty men of business industry the professions and
public life and they have risen by overcoming difficulties. And
the history that was made by these successful men and women is
being repeated today on a larger scale than ever before.
Now as always fathers and mothers are stinting and sacrificing
to fend their sons and daughters to college and more boys and
girls than ever before arc making their own way through school
and getting started on successful careers. 'This thing is constantly
happening before our very eyes and yet at the present time as
always we hear a loud wail going up that there is no chance for
the poor boy or girl in this country. It never was true and it
isn't true today; on every hand no matter which way we look we
can discover plenty of evidence to demonstrate the falsity of the
charge. There were opportunities for the Taylor family because
they made them and America is still the land of opportunity for
all who will make the most of their opportunities.

y BURYING MISTAKES.
Picture a funeral passing your house with 38000 hearses each
hearse containing an American business firm.
That gives you an accurate idea of the number of business
failures since prices began to tumble in May 1920.
Rut all is not gloom.
Standing thoughtfully on the curbstones watching their de-
ceased brethren going to Dun & Bradstrect's cemetery arc nearly
2000000 business organizations that have weathered the storm
without sinking.
In two years of very severe depression only one business in
each 53 has failed.
In a flash this illustrates the great underlying strength of our
business organization the Gibraltar that cannot be toppled by any
storm. f
As usual of course attention centers on the ships that sink.
.Ships that weather the storm are ignored. Thus the financial
ocean like the Seven Seas gets a worse reputation' than it really
deserves. i i
In May only 1960 failures. Many will snort and wonder why
the "only."
If they turn back four months they find 2723 failures in Jan-
uary. Steadily the storm subsides. Observing this young blood de-
sires to put to sea to try its hand. So in May 954 new com-
panies were incorporated in the principal states with capital of
$100000 or more apiece thousands of smaller ones also ventured
forth. They are the rowboats.
How much did they fail for? That is the important question.
Failures during the depression that now is ncaring its end have
had total liabilities or debts at a rate of about $600000000 a year.
Assets have averaged enough to pay about 50 cents on $1.
The total or net loss due to failures has been running around
$300000000 a year or about $3 a year for each American. That
after all is not such a big price to pay for getting out of the woods.
