Editorial on Thoreau and quiet living as a counter to modern work ethic
The piece notes four year presidential cycles and jokes about sending congratulatory telegrams. It praises Thoreau and Walden for an idleness lifestyle, suggesting a self built house, ten cents weekly food, and a year of happiness and profit. It questions whether the dollar is properly valued in a world of constant activity.
