FRITZ AND HIS FAMILY

Into Warsaw marched the
triumphant Germans.
1t was great.
1t was a triumph of brains
of system-of discipline-of au-
tocratic rule-of human wisdom
at high tide.
To employ modern word
meaning all these things and
more, it was triumph of EFF
Cheney.
But how can nation become
so efficient as to perform such
wonders? Individual efficiency
is not a thing to occasion won
derment; but when a whole ma
ton pulls itself up to dizzy
heights by it's own bootstraps
and stands there lofty, tower
ing, integral, unanimously eff
cient, the spectacle gives plod-
ding world vertigo.
England has a long line OF
scientists, from Newton down
but Germany harnessed Science
and it's people into one yoke.
America produced Edison anC
Wright and Morse; but Germany
buckled invention into the same
strappings by which her womer
and dogs draws loads.
France unmade kings and sys'
TENS, wrote immortal things
about the rights of man, anc
made government an OK which
the people could drive more OF
less at will; but Germany has
turned the French scheme in,
side out, and has climbed the
steep heights of Efficiency with
the Ok in the drivers seat anC

years editor and publisher of
the Raleigh IN. CO. News and
Observer, was sworn in as Sec
rotary of the Navy and had
time to look about him, he
found that the peoples money
was being wasted by the pay
ment of excessive prices for ar
NOR and practically all articles
required for the Navy. Through
out his two>years in the Cabinet
he has been earnestly endeavor-
ing to rescue the public treas
ury from the patriots for war,
who year in and year out, have
been helping themselves, seem
ingly at will, from the public
crib. Secretary Daniels has
saved the Government some ST.
100000, which is but a drop in
the bucket to the amount he
could save if he could obtain
Government manufacture of
everything.
In his first annual report for
the year 1918 Secretary Daniels
asked for an appropriation for
an armor-plate factory. quote
from that report;
81 desire to recommend the
passage at the earliest moment
of a sufficient appropriation to
begin the construction of a gov
eminent plant to relieve a stu
alton, which, in my estimation,
is intolerable and at total vari-
ance with the principle of econ
omy in spending Government
money. Il Only three firms in
this country can manufacture
armor plate, and these firms
have put in bids for armor plate
seldom varying over a few dol
lars, and in many instances be-
ing identical to a cent. Asked
for reasons as to the uniformity
of these bios, two 0f the firms
replied frankly that as the con-
tract would be divided amongst
them anyway, the only effect of
competitive bids would be to
reduce the profits made by all
of the three firms.
by manufacturing armor
plate in it's own plant, the Gov
eminent will be able to keep for
it's own use any improvements
in the manufacture or compost
ton of its armor that may be
developed. The last word has

Recommendations Of Secre-
tary Daniels of the Navy
(By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.)

IlOC DSeu Sdlu Ill dIIIlOI, anu past
history shows that great i'm
provements in the manufacture
and design of armor plate have
been made. The greater part
of these Improvements were
suggested by actual experience
gained by naval officers. Under
our present system of obtaining
armor plate from private COM
panies such improvements be-
come the property of all the
world and can be obtained by
anybody who cares to buy them.
Even now the improvements in
armor and the designs worked
out by the navy have been en-
bodied in the warship of an
other nation recently finished by
the Bethlehem Steel Co., and
put into commission. This is
not an argument lightly to be
disregarded in favor of Govern
ment armor plant, nor has it
been overlooked, for instance,
by Japan, which has erected its
own armor-making plant and
surrounded it with such secrecy
that none of the other nations
are able to tell whether or not
at this minute the Japanese ar
NOR may not be superior to any
other in existence. In addition
to Japan, the French Govern
ment, after experimenting with
a factory capable of producing
only the lighter weights Of ar
NOR, is charging its Govern
ment plant so as to permit of
the production of thick plates,
and Russia has had its own ar
NOR plate factory for some time.
81 do not see how it is posi-
BILE for Congress to justify to the
people refusal to erect Gov
eminent plant, nor how it can an
swer the charge that will inyar-
ably be brought up-that the
same mysterious Providence
which saved this profitable bus
mess of the steel companies
three times in the past, even af-
ter money for the Government
plant had actually been appro-
priated, is not still at work eX-
ercising it's benefcent protec-
ton over these lusty specimens
of infant industries, who are
even now under Government in
vestigation as violators of the
antitrust law"

IN MEMORIUM

nicious anaemla on August Ia
1915; he was the son of William
HI. and Julia Parsons Graves
His father and mother each died
/ while he was quite a little child
and after their deaths he was
] sent to Hillsdale, Michigan,
where he lived until he was
about 16 years of age; he went
from there to Massachusetts,
where he first engaged in the
! mining industry at South Ham
pton. He was educated in the
High Schools at Hillsdale, Mich
igan, and at Wilston Seminary,
ia East Hampton, Massachu-
sets.
Mr.. Graves came to Missouri
in 1869 and entered the employ
of the st. Joseph Lead Company
at Bonnie Terre, Missouri; his
first employment was in the
mills of that company, and he
retained this position for two
years, after which he was pro-
NOTED to local cashier of that
company, which position he held
from 1870 until 1887. In 1887
he was elected Assistant Super
intendent and Secretary of the
Doe Run Lead Company and re-
moved to Doe Run where he
continued to reside until a few
| years before his death, when he
removed to Pennington.
In 1871 he was married to
Miss Mary E. Woodside, and to
them were born five children,
! two of whom are now living
DR.. John B. Graves and Mrs.
Gertrude Graves Braham, and
one adopted daughter, Miss TriX-
lie Graves, three of their chill
dren having proceeded him in
death.
Mr.. Graves Joined the Congre-
gationalist Church at Bonnie
Terre, Mo-, while he resided
there and had never withdrawn
his membership from that
church. He was a member of
the Masonic Lodge at Doe Run
and the Knights Templars at
DeSoto.
His funeral was conducted by
the Masons and the Knight Tenn
plars, and representatives were
in attendance from nearly all
the lodges of this county, to-
gether with representatives
from lodges at DeSoto, Ironton
and Ste. Genevieve, and the
funeral sermon was preached
By Rev. w. r. Mccormick, now
of Kansas City, Mo-, but who
for several years was the pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Doe Run, and also the
Superintendent of this, the
Pennington District. His in
terment was had at Doe Run
and was conducted by the Ma
sons.
1t is not an easy matter to in
terpret a character such as that
of Mr.. Graves. The first and
controlling influence in his life
was his simple, child-like faith
in God; and during all his life,
in affluence and in adversely, in
health and in sickness and in ev-
cry relation of life, there was
ever present in his purposes and
ideals the influence of his knowl-
edge and acquaintance with the
lowly Nazarine.
His home lief was simple, kind
and loving. AS a husband, he
tried to, and to a large degree
did, exemplify the teachings OF
the great Bridegroom-the great
head of the Church Triumphant
and as he told the writer, few
weeks before he died, that ir

more tenderly loved, and his de-
parture creates in their hearts
an aching void the world cannot
fill.
! AS business man he was of
the highest personal integrity.
The organization, development
and success of the Doe Run Lead
Company is but the history of
the life Of Mr.. Graves while he
was connected Herewith; and
his success in the management
of this company was so marked
that it gave him not only local
reputation as a successful oper-
ator but brought him into ma
tional prominence and resulted
in Governor A. M. Dockery APP
pointing him as one of the Com
missioners to the Pan-American
Exposition, at Buffalo in 1901,
and to the Charleston, S. c., Ex-
position, in 1902.
AS the operating head of the
Doe Run Lead Company, Mr..
Graves necessarily came in con-
tact with a great number of la
borers, and with their wives and
children, and it is the universal
opinion of those people that he
was truly good Samaritan. No
man ever went to Mr.. Graves,
however lowly he may have been
socially and presented to him a
condition that showed that he
was in need, who ever went away
empty handed; he fed the hun
| CRY, he clothed the naked, he
visited the sick, his tender SYM
pathy and his ever ready assist
ance was ever found in the sick
! room in the hour of death; Mr..
Graves was every man, woman
and child's friend-their other
self; he loved his neighbor even
better than himself. There is
no accurate means of estimat-
ing the amount of money he
gave to the many churches Of
this county and Southeast Mo. (;
it is estimated that he has in
vested thousands of dollars in
this county and throughout the
Southeast; no church organiza-
ton, regardless of it's creed, ev-
err appealed to him for aid in
the construction of a house of
worship that did not receive
freely and gladly the aid asked.
Politically, Mr.. Graves was a
Republican, but never an office
seeker; on more than one occa-
sion he has been practically ten
dered the nomination for Con-
gress from this District. He
was courteous and kind, but
firm in opposing his party's OPP
ponent.
| 1t is to our minds a wise pro-
vision that in the economy of
God judgment is postponed UNI
til the end Of the world; for no
man can measure the influence
of a life until the final end. For
this reason, we believe that the
influence of Mr.. Graves cannot
be summed up at his death, but
must be left to the Great Judge
at the last day. Of this we are
assured, that Mr.. Graves will
ever live in the hearts of the
great common people of this
county and section Of the state.
He had the opportunity to ac-
quire and keep great wealth; his
salaries and his profits on in
vestments brought to him large
sums of money during many
years of his life and this he gave
away freely, principally to the
various churches and to the poor
and needy; and at death left but
little of this worlds goods to his
wife and children. The wealth
