Americans, American Institutions Will Bring Sanity Out of Current Travail, Nov. 18, 1919

From the editorial page of The Commonwealth, Scotland Neck, Tuesday, Nov. 18, 1919

We Have Confidence

All the world knows that America is in a chaotic condition, but not all of the world believes that America has the brains, the will, and the determination to bring sanity out of bedlam.

We, however, have confidence that such will be the final outcome of the present era of brimstone and brutality.

We believe the government of Washington, and the congress of chosen representatives of the people, will arise to the patriotic heights necessary to restore order and fairness and justice throughout this land of a self-governed people.

We believe that the great mass of the American people will give to the government and the congress that loyal and unswerving support which is necessary in this hour of national travail.

We believe that every true American will exert his utmost to restore any country to that condition of tranquility which prevailed before this wave of agitation and unrest and profiteering engulfed us.
Regardless of the present deplorable conditions, we have confidence in America and American institutions.
