Hiram Says—
I read in the paper w here a pessim ist wax
a man th a t had sw allowed a egg a n ’ wuz
afraid to move fu r fe a r it w ould break a n ’
afra id to sit still fu r fe a r it would hatch.
A nother kind of a pessim ist ia th e feller
th a t’s too lazy to w ork a n ’ toq am bitious to
keep his m outh shut.
T h ere’s alw ays a class of men a n ’ wim-
min th a t’s afra id to do an y th in g f u r fe a r th e ir
e ffo rts w on’t tu rn o u t like they had planned
they would.
Gosh all hemlock folks, I cain’t see why
in heck some people w ant to live a t all when
they cain ’t sec n o th in ’ in th e fu tu re to live
fu r. The fa c t is, they don’t hate th is life so
bad as they enjoy m akin’ o th er fellers p ro
gress m ore d ifficu lt.
J u s t as sure as green apples m akes the
stom ach ache, w e’ve got to eith e r live or die
a n ’ since it’s easier to live than die th ere
a in ’t no reason fu r anybody m akin’ livin’ any
h a rd e r than is necessary, I’ll be henpecked if
th e re is.
Speakin* o f am bition, you know am bi
tion kin be applied a heap o’ ways. A feller
m ight be am bitious to be good o r had, co n stru ctiv e or distructive.
E nergy is th e stream th a t counts if th e am bition is headed in the
rig h t direction. E nergy is to am bition w hat the volt is to am per-
eage. E nergy is the voltage th a t carries you down the line of
progress.
W hat this co u n try needs w orst of an y th in g right now is A m er
icans th a t’e r su fficien tly possessed o f loyalty to each o th e r a n ’ to
the A m erican flag to keep ’em conscious of th e ir bein’, a n ’ energy
enough to m ake th e ir loyalty effective.
I t ’s the sam e old story. A few who a re en erg etically loyal
have to carry all the load o f m akin’ A m erica a b e tte r place fu r the
m u ltitu d es to enjoy, d arned if they don’t
We need m ore honor in everything, m ore honor in o u r indi
vidual d ealin’s, m ore in d u strial honor a n ’ m ore political honor.
H onor a n ’ loyalty seem to be w ords th a t have passed into th e realm
o f m ythical things.
A bout the only livin’ th in g th a t re ta in s the tru e sp irit o f kind
liness a n ’ loyalty is th e dog. I ’ll be henpecked if it a in ’t a heck of
a note when the hum an race has to re fe r to the anim als species fu r
th a t in which, n e x t to o u r M aker, the hum an is supposed to be
suprem e.
Ju s t as sure as p uffed w heat waz invented to m ake you think
youV r buyin’ som ethin’ when you a in ’t w e’ve all got to g it in the
