The accountant should ever adhere to principle, not person, and his mission in our business world really should be viewed from that point or vantage by both the accountant and the business man.-Gustwe Simons, condensed from The Christian Science Monitor. }ULY, 1939 * * * THE VERMIN OF STATE And so I fear, my country, not the hand That shall hurl might and whirlwind on the land. I fear not titan traitors that shall rise To stride like broken shadows on our skies; I fear the vermin that shall undermine Senate and school and citadel and shrine; The worm of fraud, the fatted worm of ease And all the crawling progeny of these. I fear the vermin that shall honeycomb the towers And walls of state in unsuspecting hours.-Edwin Markham from Tht Bill Tow1r of Yeniu. * * *
