WORDS TO HARVEY
BRANDJ.P. MORGAN
AS TRUE PATRIOT
(Continued From First Page.)

speaking contemptuously of Mr.. Bryan,
who. on the preceding day. as 1t hap
pened. had introduced to him at a
reception.
-.And do you recall he asked, those
lines from Scott that you quoted when
that mani can hear now the en-
phasis upon those two words-when
that man had left the roomf
II did. Of course. and began to re-
peat:
Breathes there man with soul go
dead,
Who never to himself hath said
IT hesitated for an instant and the
succeeding words came from the big
arm chair with odd distinctness:
"'This is my own. my native land
Then. very quietly. Mr.. Morgan
asked II l could recall the remaining
lines, and I quoted imperfectly;
Whose heart hath meier within him
burn'd,
AS home his footsteps he hath turn'd.
From wandering on a foreign strand !?
II such there breathe, go, mark him
WE'LL
Half a minute, gentlemen, Is a long
time. but for fully that period. I
should say. Mr.. Morgan sat perfectly
sun. Then. unconsciously beating
time upon the Arm of his chair as he
used TO do in church, he repeated as
IL soliloquizing:
WHO never to himself hath said.
This is my own. my native land
"And rising with difficulty from his
chair. for he was then quite feeble,
he said. with the emphasis that only
Quietude can give:
When you see Mr.. Wilson tell him
for mo that IL there should ever como
q time when he thinks any influence
or resources that have can be used
for the country they are wholly at
his disposal
Words of True Patriot.
Barring the usual leave taking,
these were the last words I heard
from the lips OF Mr.. Morgan. They
were the words of a true patriot OF
a great. very great American. spoken
from the depths of a passionately loyal
heart Surely can do no better than
to leave them with you to remember,
to cherish and to feel 80 long as you
all shall live in this. our native land"
Referring to Mr.. Morgan's testimony
before the Pujo committee at WASH
ington. Colonel Harvey said:
Although mentally as strong as
ever, physically he was sadly broken
when summoned to Washington At
his age and in his condition, it was the
severest ordeal of his lie; but it was
for the best, as he himself came to
realize
81 hated to CO. he said to ME. with
|, characteristic simplicity the day be-
fore he sailed aw1'. I hated to CO.
but I am glad I went. 1 think 1 did
some good.
1T was a comprehensive .utterance
fey
too. OF his innermost thought and as
pration. I had spoken of the favor
able impression that had been created
by his testimony and he had evinced
the keenest appreciation.
Yes. he had said, i am convinced
that what you say is true. think
| they know me better now. I hope So
| NO sensitive man. no human man
and Mr.. Morgan was most sensitive
and most human-could have failed to
be touched by the multitude of friendly
expressions which had come to him
from all sections of the country.
Thrust at Marshall.
a caustc thrust at Vice President
Marshalls recently expressed Idea OF
the State conhscatng all over $780,
900 of the fortune of a dying rich man
was launched by Colonel Harvey.
In cynical vein. Colonel Harvey
spoke of Vice-President Marshall as
the statesman from West OF Rah-
way who had gone into office aver
| ring that he was "to inaugurate four
years OF silence"
obviously, to Mr.. Marshalrs mind,
there are but two distinct classes OF
human kind, said Colonel Harvey.
| ''One he depicts as the 'thoughtless
| rich the other, presumably, is the
thoughtful poor Why does Mr.. Mar
shall suggest 100000? Why not 49,
600? The number of those able to be-
queath $4,000 is Infinitely larger than
those who have more. Why. If we are
| able 10 embark upon confiscation at
| ALL should We restrict ourselves?"
Colonel Harvey found fault with the
| Vice Presidents warning against New
York" saying:
What does. Mr.. Marshall want us
| 100000 of thougbtless New Workers
| to do? Wherein have we erred of late
| so as to deserve rebuke or reuuire a
| warning?
Were we, in his view, looking back
ward, as he says is our fault. when we
gave to him as a candidate a plurality
| of 100000? Was our Legislature at
| fault when it approved a constitutional
amendment providing for n Federal
| income tax? Was New York out of
step with what Mr.. Marshall regards
| as progress when 1t declared for the
| election of United States Senators by
popular vote?
mr.. Marshall seems to have con-
cluded that the people of this commu-
nifty are preparing to antagonize the
policies of the Democratic administra-
ton. But how can that be when the
representatives whom they sent to
Congress are acting in perfect accord
with the leaders of their party? Where
are the signs of opposition?
II doubt If Mr.. Marshall quite rea-
Lies yet that he has been elected. So
naturally he keeps on campaigning.
The trouble with him seems to be that,
| like Mr.. Bryan in former DAYS. he n,ust
! needs occasionally talk through n
cooked hat. He is like what we used
