Be Thankful
While the rest of the world is depressed by wars and the misery they entail, it is interesting to know that two great fairs for education and amusement will again open shortly in New York and San Francisco.
What a contrast to the death, destruction and debt that face warring nations. At the fairs in California and New York will be presented a record of industrial and intellectual achievement for the betterment of humanity.
This nation should feel most thankful that it can devote itself to such constructive undertakings. Our record of progress as shown in these two great fairs, should be an object lesson to our citizens to stand firmly for policies which recognize the superiority of intelligence over brute force in securing lasting settlements of disputed questions.
Let us hope that as our people visit these interesting expositions on the two sides of our continent, they will think of the important principles they represent beyond the mere giving of pleasure. Be thankful you can travel in America as a free citizen and enjoy the privileges it has to offer.
