everywhere who believe what they are
told to believe, who follow as they are
led Leadership is not miracle, but
a force and very often farce, a power
that is scarcely less wonderful than
dynamics. The power of mind over
mind is sure indication of the mental
superiority of the leader. But this su-
periority need not mean virtue. Very
often it is the reverse 1t may be an
opposing force to truth and often is
just this. But then when men whisk
their demands around under the nos
trilS and look to see others fall down
as overcome by strong perfume that
renders the spell overwhelming there
are others who are immune. The
True Blues never get excited over the
problems of state as eXemplified in the
village, but pursue the even tenor of
their way undisturbed, wholly con-
cerned with what their conscience dis
closes in its open message after truth,
and the True Blues are not altogether
unimportant factors. They cannot be
swayed with the fanfare of this su
periority of imposing the stronger will.
They stand by and watch and wait, but
they do not change at the coming of
the wind bags of persuasion. They
are the bulwarks, the spiritual ballast
that hold things down to a normal
level. And are not the True Blues the
salt of the earth? Do they not exem-
plify the faith that is loyal, the
strength that cannot be OverthrOwn by
mere words that bray and boast?

No doubt the whole series of crimes

Most men know love but as part of
Life;
They hide it in some corner of the
breast,
Even from themselves, and only
when they rest
In the brief pause of that daily strife
Wherewith the world might else be
not so rife
They draw it forth Gas one draws
forth a toy
To soothe some ardent kiss-exacting
bOy)
And hold it up to sister, child or wife.
All, me! Why may not love and life
be one?
Why walk we thus alone when by
our side
Love, like a visible God, might be
our guide?
How would the marts grow noble
and the street,
Worn like a dungeon floor by weary
feet,
Seem then a golden court-way of the
Sun!

Must Make Report

Every partnership doing business
in the Eastern District of Missouri.
no matter whether much or little.
must make an income tax return
to Internal Revenue Collector, Geo.
H Moore, at st. Louis.
This is the first time that this re-
quirement has been made to apply
to all partnerships. Heretofore
partnerships having more than
100000 net incomes had to make
return for excess profits taxes. The
present requirement entails no tax
whatever. The return is for informa-
ton of the Government and must
set out in detail the transactions Of
the partnership, sum up the net in-
come and give the names and ad-
dresses of all partners and the re-
spective shares to which they are
entitled in the partnership proceeds.
These partnership returns must
be in the Collectors Office not later
than June 18th to avoid penalties.
Forms on which to make these re-
turns may be had by writing to the
Collector. The number of the form
is 1865 and it is up to the partner
ship, under the new law. to procure
them and make return.
Having made no returns previous
ly, there is no list of partnerships
in the Collectors office at present to-
whom to mail returns without re.
quest except those who made the
excess profits tax return last year
and these form only small number
of the whole.
1t is the desire of the Collector
that partnerships act promptly in
making their requests in order that.
they may receive their forms and
get their returns made within the
time set, June 18th. so that it will
not be necessary to penalize any
body for failure to file as required
by the new Revenue Law.

The Aftermath

Right to become citizens of the
United States is being forever deDi'
ed to about 10000 neutrals aliens
because of their refusal to fight for
the United States the Bureau of Ma
turaIization records show.
This represents the number of
neutral citizens who took advant
age the Selective Service Law grant
ing their exemption from military
service if they desired to forfeit for
ever their rights to become Ameri-
cans. Spaniards and Mexicans
from the largest percentage of these
slackers.
Under the law of the Bureau of
Naturalization is filing petitions in
all courts where these neutral aliens
have declared their first intentions
asking that the court enter an order
forever barring those who preferred
to renOunce their possibilities for
securing citizenship instead of en-
tering the military service of the
country.
Records of the others who have
not taken out there first papers will
be kept az the bureau and every ap-
plication for citizenship checked
with the Stacker list before it is
granted.
