Martin H. Glynn. former governor
OF New York, will long be remem-
bered for the famous opening speech
he made at the st. Louis Democratic
convention in 1916. So good was it,
in fact, that millions and millions
Of copies of it were reprinted and
sent around the country by various
Democratic 20 nmittees.
A few months after Glynn had de-
livered the address he walked into
political meeting out in the Mid
die West one night and found the
orator of the evening, who was un-
aware of Glynn's presence, deliver
ing the st. Louis speech with much
satisfaction to himself, but with no
credit TO Mr.. Glynn. The governor
listened with rapt attention, and ap-
plauded the orator roundly when he
finished.
Suddenly someone spied Glynn
and began to call for him. The To-
cal orator almost passed away when

Folks and Things around WASHINGTON
BY LA BERT ST. CLAIR.

Copy books. memory training
school advertisements and house
painters unite in telling the world
that you cannot keep a god man
down. The life story of Represent
stive John Stanley Webster. of Spo-
kane, Wash. fighter and foe of GER
tain kinds of union labor. bears
out the came contention.
Webster is a man who. before
he was 25 years old. saw himself
lauded in huge type across the front
pages of the greatest newspapers of
the country, and then, weary OF
prominence and exhausted, went
halfway across the United States
and into the deep woods TO hide
himself. only to be snatched up by
the hand of fate and again placed
in the national limelight.
At 90 Webster was elected pros
ecuting attorney of Harrison Coun-
ty. Ky. Shortly thereafter the Har-
Sis feud broke out in jackson, an
adjoining cOunty--Tom, Whitc ~ -
ing James B. Markham-and because
nobody in Jackson County cared to
prosecute the Hargis tribe, the case
went by change of venue to Web
ster. Faitering not a second. Web
ster successfully prosecuted the
case. and in a summing-up that wa,
printed from one end of the coun-
try to the other scorched the Har-
gises as no of.e ever had dared do
before. Incidentally, Webster was
poisoned by an enemy during the
trial, but he never missed Cay
at court.
Disguested with the whole feud
business, a few years after the close
of the trial. Webster went out near
Spokane and buried himself in the
woods. There he hoped to rest, for
get the law and come back physical
ly. None of his neighboring woods
men knew that the emaciated little
fellow who stayed around his own
shanty and kept his own counsel
was the famous young kentucky
prosecutor.
But one day, out in the great
dark woods, a little girl was as
saulted. Then Webster was no long
er was able to curb his desire to see
violators Of the law brought to JUS
tice. In hickory shirt. coarse trous-
ers and heavy shoes, he hurried
into town and laid the case before
the, authorities, with vigorous de-
mand for action. He got It. and,
furthermore. when he let slip the
fact that he was an attorney. he was
made special counsel in the case.
Thenceforth It was a course OF
steady advancement for Webster.
In turn he became assistant prose-
cutor. Supreme Court Judge and Con-
gresham. During period of Tim ?

Income Tax Facts
You Should Know

The high rentals of 1919 will
place many thousands of property
owners in the taxpayers class this
year. For all rents are subject TO
income tax. and must be considered
in connection with other income in
figuring the taxable income.
The personal income tax forms,
1910 and 104o-A. have a special
section wherein rentals must be
reported. The allowable deduc-
tions from rent for taxes, repairs,
wear and tear, and other costs are
defined on the return form.
Those who rented rooms or suites
in their own homes must consider
the rents received as part of their
income.
If the rents, plus other income,
received by an unmarried person
was $1,000 or more. a return must
be filed; similarly, rents plus other
income received by a married cou-
pie in an amount of $4,000 or more
must be reported on an income tax
return.
Soldiers Income Tax.
Those who served actively during
1919 in the army. navy, or Marine
Corps, whether at home or abroad.

from the United States up to S3.5OO.
This applies to officers and enlisted
men alike, and to eX-service men.
Persons on the retired list are not
entitled to this special exemption
Those who were retired during 1919
must consider all of the retired pay
as taxable income: also any pay for
active service exceeding $500.
Army and navy officers must in
clude fair rental value of quarters
in figuring their compen-
sation. And If the total exceeded
$4,000, the excess amount must be
