THAT AWFUL SWEDE
I the undersigned wish to give
ike people of McCarthy some
information about Sweden and
Mu- Swedish people. To start
with, I had the honor to meet
■ n American “gentleman” at
least he give me to understand
fhat lie was a gentleman aid a
real “white” yankee and on this
occasion we c.im-3 to converse a
bout Sweden and its position in
ihe world today. He, that “gentle
man” said that the 1J. S. A. was
he only nation in the world ard
that the rest could go to li ard
that in his opinion there were
very few reil whiba men from
Sweden and 1 dont think more
of a Swede than of a dog in the
street. The law held me back, but
our “pleasant” conversation at
' hat moment came to an end,
and of course our squaintance
also.
Now wnt did that \gentle
man” mean by telling me that
ho was an American and a rea!
white man?—he proberly is one
of the few who forget that every
white man in the world is flesh
and blool from Europe,
from the first to the last,—con
sequently I am sure that this
gentleman has no right to cal
himself a “white” man, as he
does’nt represent the “white’
people in the U. S. A.
“The Swede” or “that d —c
Swede” is a remark you ofter
hear in this country. Is that wore
'Swrede or “Sweden” a word o]

! disgrace, or is it perhaps mak
ing some one envious? I am sure
that the real Americans, the ed
ucated Americans know that
: Sweden is one of the oldest in
dependant Nations of the world
and one of the most highly civi
iized nations. Furthermore tin
Swedish people are praised tin
world over for their work in
building up industry, and the
progress and civilization of the
; whole van Id. Sweden has pro
duced man, honored by the C.S.
A. and the whole world.

: word of harm about Sweden o
its people The ‘'white” people
.or this conntry should’nt judge
Sweden by the way some pro
i german Sweeles talk or act ir
this country, — they do not rep
resent the true Swedish natioi
anel they area menace to civili
zation. 1 am glad to say, however
that there are very few Swedes
that’s pro-german right here ir
