HEAVY STUFF THIS, BUT TRUE
All this talk about uplifting the community as a whole
and growing up with it is very fine, is true and works
when the leaders of a community are satisfied to live and
let live, but communities go to smash so far as the welfare
of the majority is concerned unless the leaders band to
gether and crush the hawks who thrust their beaks into
every purse regardless.
Every man is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit
of business, his own business, but when his own business
includes getting a strangle-hold on every man’s business,
there is work for the executive committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, commercial club, or similar organizations.
Ambition run riot, leads men to the habit of being un
comfortable unless they are getting a percentage out of
the earnings of every other individual around them.
This is not confined to towns or communities but it
becomes nation wide, and right down at the heart of it all,
it is this very intemperate ambition which underlies the
world war.
Temperate ambition is splendid, and makes for suc
cess.
Therefore, the secret underlying the successful
growth of towns communities and Nations is controlled by
the temperately ambitious.
Seward, to be successful, must forge ahead under the
leadership of those, who are willing and anxious for new
business men to arrive and make a success, who are wise
enough to curb their ambition, to live and let live.

GERMAN SPIES NOW POSE AS SWEDES
These are the days to keep an eye open for the
‘‘Swede” who were not born in Sweden, i. e. those mas
querading as Swedes who are in reality German spies.
Assistance in uncovering such imposters can be given
for the most part by the Swedes themselves, for they are
a keen people and can detect the near-Swedes by little
slips of the tongue or by questioning the suspect about
what part of Sweden he or his alleged Swedish parents
hail from.
For a spy to operate under the guise of another na
tion is old as time. Japanese spies operated continually in
the Russian army as Chinese coolies and German spies ap
pear with equal boldness as English, French and Belgians,
but just recently in operations in the United States they
have taken the role of Scandinavians.
Recently at Miami, Arizona, one of these was caught
as a result of his babblings while under an anasthetic, ad
ministered that a minor operation might be performed.
He had been travelling as Axel Johnson, but admitted he
was of the German officers’ reserve.
