GRATITUDE

Remember Charles w. Morris? And
perhaps you will remember how he was
sent to a federal penitentiary for crime
against the government years ago, and
that President Taft pardOned him on
representations of physicians that he
could not live more than six months.
His pardon had wonderful effect on
his health.
1t was only Il few months after his
pardon that he was again engaged in
frenZied finance and during the war
formed a ship building corporation
that contracted with the government
to build twelve great cargo ships TO
cost about fifteen million dollars. What
his profits on this patriotic endeavOr
are is not in question.
His Indictment is tha- during the
war he sold to an aliel government a
steamer at an alleged profit of $780,. 900
It time when the United States need
ed all the shipping it could get, and in
cOntravention of the shipping board
act providing punishment by fine OF
$1,000. or five years in Il federal peni-
tCntiary. or both.
So much for frenZied finance. Thus
Morris has shown his patriotism and
his gratitude TO his government.
