Hard to Get Community Leadership

~NN w wv
New Hampton Gazette)
In conversation we had recently
with hustling young New Hampton
business man who would like to
do something for the city, the talk
got around to the subject of local
or community leadership. We finally
agreed on these propositions. That
if a man in modest circumstances
undertakes to lead in a progressive
movement most of the other men of
a financial standing about equal to
his own become jealous and accuse
him of trying to run things. They
think he must feel above them i'm
some way or he wouldn't try TO go
ahead and do things when he hasn't
any more money than they have.
They will criticise a man who is on
their own level financially when, UNI
der the same circumstances, veal
thy man would go uncriticised. 1t
is this tendency of the average man
to not like to see another "put on
airs" that makes it hard for the COM
mon run of men to have influence.
1t is this condition that makes it
the duty of rich men to take the
lead in public Improvements and
betterments. 1t is this that makes
it desirable that the well off men of
a city unite that leadership instead
of placing themselves in the often
sive position iof being leaders of
factions which retard progress and
are positive damage. The foolish
people will join one or other of the
factions and cater to the whims of
these rich fractional leaders and will
jump onto one of their own sort who
honestly tries to help the community,
and will say that he is getting
"swelled up"

The Sioux City Tribune says:
"Much has been said about the burial
of Americas unknown soldier in Arl-
ington cemetery on Armstice day,
but probably the wisest utterance is
that of Christopher Morley. THE
highest honor that could be paid to
the unknown soldiers he says,
would be not to have any more of
them in the future"

"The wise farmer is not waiting
for congress to pass laws which will
raise the price of his products" says
the Perry Chief. "He may be hoping
that such thing will transpire, but
he's putting in all the daylight hours
getting his corn in the crib, his
stock fattened, his fences repaired
and his garden stuff stored away in
the cave or cellar"

The Glidden Graphic thinks "the
trouble with the railroad brother
hoods is the same trouble that is the
curse of the country in general to-
day-selfshness. They are not will
ing to conform with conditions as
they exist, but rather adopt the pol
icy of "get all you can and hold on
to what you get"

By Associated Press

New York, April S.--Reports that James A. Stillman, president of the National C'ty Bank of New York was anxious to press his divorce suit to rapid conclusion were confirmed to- day by his attorneys. They turned over to Mrs. Stillman's counsel $62,50o for counsel fees and alimony which they had been given until May 4 to pay in installments. With the check for that amount was a letter saying Mir. Still man desires a prompt trial of the is- sues and is not disposed to furnish any excuse for delay by staying the pro ceedinss pending an appeal"
 Previously it had been announced that an appeal from the order grant, ing alimony, counsel fees and ex- renses would be taken. and the letter today set forth that the payment was made without prejudice to our right to appeal from the order within the 30 days allowed by law
 Proposing that hearings before a referee be resumed on April 20, MT. Stiilman's attorneys said they would not appeal unless "convinced that there is no probability of trial at a reasonable early date" Counsel for Mrs. Stillman were not prepared to state tonight whether they would be

ready to reopen hearings by April 20.
 The court order in question, besides fixing alimonoy and fees, ruled out of consideration the so-called confession letter" sent to MT. Stillman by his wife and other letters alleged to have been written to Mrs. Stillman by one of her husbands servants. Fred Beauvais, an Indian guide, named by the banker as respondent. MT. Stillman charged that Beauvais was the father of Mrs Stillman's youngest son. Guy. When the order was granted the bankers counsel objected both to, the payments called for and the exclusion of the cor respondence. They declared 1t would improve hardship upon the financier to. give up $62,500 on that day and they were granted 30 days to com plete payment of the sum.
 Mrs. Stillmans attorneys asked for a stay of trial proceedings until May l9, but this was later changed to ex- tend over the time required for the payments.
 MT. Stillman's charges against his wife were contained in his complaint filed last July. The wife merely denied the allegations at first, but later took the aggressive.
 In an amended answer she accused MT. Stillman of being the father of Jay Ward Leeds. S0-month-old son of former chorus girl and of living with this woman as MT. and Mrs. Franklin H. Leeds.''
