and the house and the war committee
have been debating the war revenue
measure for what seems an interim
nable time. The stock market has
been weak for weeks because of the
delay in fixing prices on copper and
steel. Everything seems to lag.
But what are the facts? We have
been at war but little over FIVE
months. In that time we have
Passed the selective draft law and
put it into effect.
Created national army of 687,-
| 600 men, some of whom are already
in camp and all of whom will be
shortly.
Turned vacant fields into sixteen
large cities. with sewers, waterworks
, roads, heating and lighting systems
where these men will be trained.

full strength-300, 000-by voluntary
enlistment
Increased the National Guard tc
100000 by the same means.
Sent tens of thousands of troops
abroad, with equipment.

HEAVY STUFF THIS, BUT TRUE

All this talk about uplifting the community as whole and growing up with it is very ne is true and works when the leaders of a community satisfied to live and let live but communities go to smash 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 ife liberty and the pursuit of business his business but when his own business includes getting Strangehold on every mans business, there is work for the executive committee Of the Chamber of Commerce. commercial club or similar organizations.
 Ambition run riot leads to the habit of being un- comfortable unless they getting percentage out of the earnings of every other individual around them.
 This is not confined to towns communities but 1t becomes nation wide and right down at the heart of a it is this very incorporate ambition which underes the world war.
 Temperate ambition is splendid, and makes for sue cess.
 Therefore, the secret underlying the successful growth of towns communities and Nations is controlled by the temperatey ambitious.
 Seward to be successful, must forge ahead under the leadership of those who willing and anxious for new business to arrive and make success, who are wise enough to curb their ambition to live and let live.
