At Etna. Mo, on Jan. ID, 1916
David Il, Morrison passed quietly
into the great beyond, and the
following morning his beloved
wife followed him.
David Richard Morrison was
born in Ohio, May 25. 1925; died
Jan. Ia, 1916. aged 80 years 7
months 10 days. His wife, An
geline Virginia Hart, was born
in Kentucky, Feb. II. 1885, died
Jan, Is, 1916, aged 80 years II
months, 4 days.
Both migrated to Missouri in
childhood days. and afterwards
wed while the bride was only Is
years cid. Next month they
would have reached their Goth
wedding anniversary. A few
years of their early married life
they spent in Illinois. and all the
others in Clark and Scotland
counties Mo.
OF this; union were nine chill

For many years they. have
served their Lord and Master to-
gether by living faithful chris

recompense that He should call
them both to cone up to Him to-
ge her.
Many people shall feel the rich
.r for having known Grandpa
and Grandma Morrison" whom
to know were to love.
They were a typical example
of the early pioneer. He was
Scotch-Irish descent, and she
Scotch. Welsh. They ever were
an active couple, and only four
years ago disbanded their little
home to live with their daughter,
where they died.
All earthly aid was glven'them
but old age took them down at
the same time, and after only d
few days, God took them home
together.
The above couple are grand
parents of Mrs. A. J. Mattley, Of

SOME SAMPLE PROFITS
Senator Cummis submitted
some startling figures tashow the
war profits" gathered in by a
few men, not only in this coun-
try, but in belligerent Europe,
Since August l. 1914, - the day
hostilities began - 174 corpora
tions in this country. some of
them immensely large. for 10
other purpose than to manufac-
ture munitions Of war for Europe
During the last fifteen months
there were exported to Europe
from this country arms and am
munition valued at $l6l W4, 276
and the exports are increasing,
month by month. -,
The market value of the stocks
of seventeen of the companies
engaged in this war traffic has
increased in the time mentioned
$432, 056, 500. If accurate fgur-
es could be secured concerning
the advance in the stocks of all
the companies affected, the total
would. it is estimated, exceed
$3.50, 600, 900.

This applies mostly to those who
are supplying material used in

CUMMIlJS' GREAT SPEECH.
SENATOR CUMMINS oflOWA,
aREtUBLICAN. stated the ease
in the course of a great speech
which he delivered in the Senate
on January 10. He said:
"MR. President, if it is good
policy to permit the private man
ufacture of arms and munitions
uiswar, why is il not good poll y
to allow men, to recruit armies
and to sell them to the govern
ment which is to employ armies?
1t has not been long since that
was the practice OF many govern
nents. 1t has been but little
more than hundred years since
it was regarded as entirely con-
sistent with the highest morality
and the most exalted ethics fer 4
government. to farm out the en-
listment and the training OF it's
armies. -. ....
The civilized sense-of mankind
overturned so brutal and so dam
gerous policy, and it will not be
long until that same sense which
takes into account the dearest
posse ssioas of civiliz. I'd man, will
drive out this source of profit
from the great )urt which final
ly determines whether We shall
be at peace or whether we shall
be at war.
TOJ MUCH FOR MORTAL
NAN. 81, 49,.
Discussing the temptation to
which the existing system of pri-
vate manufacture of war NUM-
tions subjects the men who are
engaged in that business, Sena-
tor Cummins said:
1.-The present situation illus
trates my thought in startling
way.
We are considering the prob
lem of preparedness.
1t is a grave, serious problem
and demands the dispassionate
and patriotic Judgment of. the
people Of the nation. -.
We ought to determine the
subject in the most unselish,
farsighted courageous spirit.
In this critical moment what
is the attitude of the makers of
arms ano munitions.
