saw the pilot directing the course of
the ship through the channel. "I

know where all the dangerous places
in this channel are?" said the fussy
PUsscnger, "No, I'm not," replied the
pilot "Then why do they trust the
ship to your guidance?" asked the
passenger, "Because I know where

reply.

Probably never during the Telegram's career has a
single article appeared in its columns which brought
forth such a flood of favorable comment as the editorial
of two weiks ago under the heading, "NOW IS THE
TIME TO BO BUSINESS."
Expressions of thanks and congratulations have
reached the editor by phone, by mail, and even by wire,
evidence in plenty that the people were really in a mood
to believe that there was no cause for alarm; they were
glad to be reminded that there was no ACTUAL CAUSE
for a business depression—but they NEEDED THE
SUGGESTION.
The Telegram now reiterates all that was said in the
previous article, and goes further. We contend that the
present is not only an opportune time to spread out and
launch new and larger enterprises and to put on more
steam from a purely selfish, or business standpoint, but
it is our PATRIOTIC DUTY TO OUR NATION TO
DO SO.
In this opinion we have the unqualified support of
President Wilson, who, in a recent address to the Ameri-
can people, said:
"The declaration of war can have NO EVIL EFFECTS
ON BUSINESS IN THIS COUNTRY. Whatever bad
effects that may have been apparent recently are
PURELY PSYCHOLOGICAL, and largely of our own
foolish making." And, continuing, the president says:
"It is evident to every thinking man that our indus-
tries, on the farm, in the ship yards, in the mines, in the
factories, and all commercial and industrial enterprises,
great and small, MUST BE MADE MORE PROLIFIC
AND MORE EFFECIENT AND MORE ACTIVE. We
need prosperity in war times even more than when we
are at peace. Business depressions are always bad, but
doubly so when we have a fight on our hands. THERE
IS NO REAL REASON FOR BUSINESS DEPRES-
SION NOW, BUT THERE IS EVERY REASON FOR
INCREASED ACTIVITY. For our markets are the
same in A pril as they were in March. We NEED MORE
BUSINESS, not less. Indiscriminate economy, the
tightening up or shutting down of business, would be
ruinous. NOW IS THE TIME TO OPEN THE
THROTTLE."
Howard E. Coffin of Washington, member of the ad-
visory committee of the Council of National Defense,
who has just returned to Washington from a tour of the
west, says:
STOPPING PUBLIC WORK.
"Because of an impending and possible shortage
of foodstuffs, we have hysterical demands for econ-
omy in every line of human endeavor. Waste is
bad, but an undiscriminating economy is worse.
Some states and municipalities are stopping road
building and other public work. General business
is being slowed down because of the emotional re-
sponse of the trading public to these misguiding
conditions for economy. No savings are being
withdrawn from the banks, but reports show that
some people have begun to hoard food supplies.
All this is wrong. Unemployed and closed fac-
tories, brought about through fitful and ill-advised
campaign for public and private economy, will
prove a veritable foundation of quicksand, for the
serious work we have at hand."
Finance, and Business, are more or less timid, and sub-
ject to imaginary heart palpitations, superinduced by
mental shock; That explains why the business and com-
mercial world suffered a slight set-back when war was
first declared in America. But, as stated by the Telegram
two weeks ago, these causes are the result of AN AB-
NORMAL MENTAL CONDITION ONLY. There is
every real reason why business SHOULD BE GOOD
AND GET BETTER.
As an evidence of the effect of war on business, the
following article is reproduced from the trade journal of
the Hoosier Manufacturing company of New Castle, In-
diana. Note from it how business boomed in Canada,
after the first shock of the war had subsided:
equipment and movement of thousands of men PUT
MONEY IN CIRCULATION. It created a brisk de<
mand at good prices for everything that could be pro-
duced by the mines, by the ranches, by the farms and by
the factories. It immediately dispelled idleness and
eliminated the drones. It put everybody to DOING
SOMETHING. That is why business was and is good
in Canada, and it is also why business will be good in
this country. And regardless of the length of the war,
this p«iod of activity will continue for a long time. It
will require years for the reconstruction period following
the great world war to replace the billions of dollars
worth of ships, machinery and other equipment sunk and
destroyed during the war. This means that every mine
and every factory and every farm must be worked over*
time and that their products will be in demand at good
prices. This means that all labor will find employment,
there will be no idleness, and prosperity will be general,
universal and opulent.
TEMPLE IS NOT INTIMIDATED.
And, jumping from Canada back to Temple, attention
is respectfully called to the fact that BUSINESS IN
ALL LINES IS GOOD IN TEMPLE.
Two weeks ago the Telegram printed a list of resi-
dences then under construction in Temple, aggregating
something like twenty in number.
Today is printed another list, showing some twenty
more residences under construction here, ALL START-
ED SINCE THE LAST REPORT, two weeks ago.
This means that in the neighborhood of forty resi-
dences are being constructed in this city per month now,
AND AT THE PRESENT HIGH PRICES OF
BUILDING MATERIAL IT IS CERTAIN THAT
THESE HOUSES ARE NOT BEING BUILT WITH-
OUT A DEMAND FOR THEM. In other words, when
forty residences are being built per month, it means that
there are forty additional families, to be taken care of in
that time. Figuring five people to the family, that means
that Temple is growing in population now at the rats
of 200 per month, or, if maintained, at a rate of OVER
TWO THOUSAND PER YEAR.
And practically all business houses are now tenanted
at abnormally high rent rates.
With the population and residence section growing as
indicated above, and with the business district already
congested, and with rentals on business property soar-
ing by leaps and bounds, unprecedented building activity
in the business section of Temple may be confidently ex«
pected within a short time—in fact this is inevitable—it
will soon be absolutely necessary.

QUESTION BOX— pdHtelhrtx
Q. Under what circumstance and when
wan "Tha Star Spangled Banner" written?
- Patriot.
A. The ward* were written durtn# tha
War of 1X12 by Franc la Bcott Key. Key
waa virtually n prkeoner on beard the Britlah
flagabip Surprise during the bombardment
of Fart McHenry, near Baltimore. He had
gone to tha flagship under a flag af truce
to plead for the life of I)r. William fteatuf,
an American prisoner whom the British
Admiral Cochrane had announced he would
hang from the yardarm of hia flagship.
Key boarded the ship, It la believed, on the
morning of Sept. 6, 1914, and though he had
gone on board under a flag of truce the
British commander refused to permit him to
leave the ship until aftrr the bombardmeut
of McHenry eight days later. Key aaved
Dr. Beana» and It waa while watching the
conflict, powerless himself to aid his strug-
gling countrymen, that Key experienced the
inspiration from out of which was bona "Tlia
Star Spangled Banner." The anthem was
written tha morning after the bombardment.
Aa the mm rose and the miets lifted, Kay,
from his prison ship saw the flag still flut-
tering above Fort McHenry. Then waa
penned "Tha Star Spangled Banner."
