The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1928-12-27, Page 3THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE THURSDAY, DECEMBER* 27, H>-« EDITORIAL 1929 Its peril, The peril of 1929 is the sluggish spirit. Say what editors and clergy will, the sluggard mind characterizes the church and the go- ernment of this province and of this Dominion. Contentment with a low grade mediocrity in achievement and enter­ prise is in evidence everywhere. Ad­ vantaged as our fathers and oursel- 4*es have been with virgin soil and virgin opportunity, the plain facts are that as a people we limp where we should leap, A second best, yes, a third and fourth and even a fifth 'best, satisfies when there should be mighty searching of the spirit why the first best has not been attained. There are those who read this who will resent it, but only rivals another short-coming of a people, our resent­ ment of criticism. We coddle the flatterer while we should be welcom­ ing that fine old school master, Mr. Toil. Its duty. First, for every one of us to clean house and to take stock. There are hundreds of folk who have come to Canada lately sadly in need of deporting. There is the red men­ ace, that two-edged sword whose point is everywhere but whose hilt is in Moscow. Not till every home is violated and every marriage vow desecrated and the last vestige of Canadian law and order is over­ thrown will that foul weapon be sheathed. Its work already is be­ ing felt in every school section of this province. While schools and churches have been singing of peace on earth this evil thing has 'been /^isoning every educational well " whence our children drink. There is urgent need for some real house­ cleaning. The opportunity. No people under the shining sun have anything like the opportunity for achievement that at this houi1 confronts the Canadian people. There is not a material ad­ vantage lacking for their winning the highest grade of achievement, Timber, soil, minerals, finny and furry tribes all pour out their wealth before the very eyes of the sons and daughters of the maple and beaver. The markets of the world are open to her traders and merchants. Water power unlimited laughs and dances in very ecstacy of invitation. Youth and maidenhood of the finest type the sun has shone upon since the morning stars sang together stand with shining eyes and eager hearts asking only for leadership.
