All other provisions of law relat ing to the Income Tax law are ex tended and made applicable to the above. Any further information desired may be obtained upon application to the undersigned. MILTON A. MILLER, Collector, people and their parliament and ar my all together In the struggle againbt the bureauocracy and Ger many. Whatever other issues may finally eventuate, one thing stands out clear ly. Germany has lost its last chance to profit by divisions or disagree ments between the Russian people and the Russian government. The people have become the government. Every peasant knows now that he fights,' not merely for the czar, but for holv Russia and for himself. The new knowledge will nerve his arm with new strength against the hated German. Self-governing Russia is in line with self-governing France and self governing England. The moral han dicap involved in alliance of democ racy with absolutism is removed. As republican France flung down the head of a king as the gage of battle against the monarchs of Europe, so Russia overthrows a despotism as its renewed challenge to the emperors of Germany and Austria.

Industrial Censorship Imminent The time Is rapidly coming when there will be very little, if any, pub licity given to these measures of in dustrial mobilization for national defense.- In other words, a censorship is liable to go into effect any day. Already certain steps have been taken by. the government in regard to censorship and the plans tor au extension of this precaution are upon a scale which will preclude the pos sibility of business men obtaining news of their industries from the. daily newspapers. Electrical World- Runaway At Lone Rock. Emmet Moore and Miss Agnes Booth of Lone Rock had a very nar now escape from serious injury, at least, when returning from a dance early Saturday morning.

This fact spells the secret of the success of the revolution in Russia. There were no Swiss gunrds this time to protect an autocrat and his queen from the just wrath of the people. Had there been such sol diery at Petrograd this week, per haps the rising of Russia might have had another issue. At all events, the triumph of the people and their parliment would not have been won so easily. The armies of Russia are the peo ples of Russia, the nation in arms, and tho people and their army alike are permeated with the principles of self-government and fired with passionate patriotism against Ger many and the Germanic Influences in the Russian government, The earthquake came suddenly but it had long been preparing. The nihilists have sown seed of revolt for at least half a century. Western po litical ideals have been sweeping in among the Russian intellectuals ever since the Crimean war. The reforms of Alexander the Liberator, who em ancipated 23,000,000 serfs, opened the way for the practice of democra tic rule among the communes of the Russian masses. The war against Turkey in 1877-78 was a people's war and revealed to the Russians their power to coerce even bureau ocracy and abolutism. The rotten ness and impotence manifested by the ruling powers in the war with Japan in 1904 aroused the populace as well as the statesmen outside of the governing class to demand and secure a share in the government. The 13 years which have elapsed have taught the nation how to con duct affairs of state and to bring the bureaucrats and the czar to terms. The war with Germany has re-enforced all the progressive and patrio tic elements in Russian citizenship The resentment against German in fluence and intrigue has grown every month for more than two years. The J reactionaries and the Teutonic sym pathizers have lost ground more and more. The people's branch of the national legislature has constantly strengthened its grip on the govern- j ment. The duma has sympathized with the army in the fight against i Germany and the army has known that the duma was fighting Germany in the government.
