NATION OWES MORRIS MUCH
EinancieTs Services to the Cause OF
American independence Should
Never Be Forgotten.

Robert Morris was the tinanc1er OF
the American revolution, a whole Lib
erty loan" in himself He carried the
coloniSts through their struggle for In
dependence by handling such funds as
the country possessed at the time, oul
for the most part through his own prl'
vate credit, which was greater than
that of his country. Yet after this I'M
precedented service to his country he
was thrown into the debtors prison
for three years (from 1898 to 1SO1).
He was born on January 20, say some
Ruthorittes-others on January b.
1874, at Liverpool, and died in Phila-
delphia May Z, 1906. He arrived in
America when thirteen years old, en-
tered a mercantile house and devei-
oped q genius for finance. In 1904 ne
became a member of prosperous firm
known as Willing, Morris & Co. Dur
ing the conflict with the mother coun-
try he gave all his time and money TO
help the colonists. Out OF his own
means he transferred Washington's
army from Dobbs Ferry to Yorktown
IN 1871. That same year he estao-
hshed the Bank Of North America
the first bank In the United States
with a national character. He was
one of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence, and was a member
of the Continental congress until l1fo'
after which he went into the leg1sia-
ture, serving during several terms,
when he became the superintendent OF
finance from 1871 to 1874. He was
also head Of the navy department
from 1881 to 1884. At one time ne
owned half of the state of New York
and millions Of acres in other states,
bat the slow development In values
and the failure Of the Bank Of London,
In which he had funds. caused his
bankruptcy. At the time of his fauure
he was building a palatial home In
Philadelphia, which was never m
ishsd. and many Of the workmen were
paid off by giving them portions OF the
architecture. which they sold later or
butt into less pretentious homes.
Some of these fine specimens Of cary
ing In stone have been bought up ana
made the motive for planning artistic
homes in old Germantown in Philade-
phia.

On the peaks of western mountains

for forest fires Ia the region round

available men during the war, this
work was performed largely by wom-
en- and girls. many of the latter being

opportunity to spend a summer vaca-
don In the open. Usually the girls
manned the posts In pairs, but IN
one instance lone girl and her faith

trees 1t was the task of the watcher
to calculate the location Of the fire

ANOTHER COMMITTEE FALLS
DOWN ON JOB

How the Government rose to
the emergency Of war, overcame
unprecedented difficulties and
put a winning army into the
field when there were gloomy
predictions that the fact was i'm
possible, was told in the House
of Representatives by Frank E.
Doremus, OF ? aigan.
Representative iDoremus said
he had beer assigned to the sub
committee to investigate con-
struction of army camps, and
this investigation has been of one
of the most successful building
programs in the history Of the
world
After nine months of investi-
CATION" continued Mr.. Doremus,
"the majority Of this committee
is unwilling to .make a specific
recommendation to the Attorney
General or a particular allegation
of fraud against any person, firm
or corporation. During all that
time they have had access to the
records of the construction divl-
sion of the War Department and
the emergency construction com
mittee, with unlimited authority
from the House to investigate
every phase of the construction
program.
They have employed able in
vestigators and counsel, and no
limitation has been placed upon
their expenditures. During these
nine months they have left no
stone unturned in their efforts
to discover evidence of fraud and
graft, and now they propose to
pass the investigation on ito the
Attorney General. Their reso-
luton is a confession of failure,
and the county will so regard it. "

PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS
ELSEWHERE

The preliminary Presidential
strugple is we'll under way IN
Mexico. Sonora and several
other States of the republic nave
deolared there independence anc
the Governors Of some OF them
have retired to the MOUNTAINS
thoughtfully taking with them
the contents of the public treas
,7ries. In halfia dozen places re-
bel generals are fighting with
the Carranza troops, slxty-nVe
Senators and Representatives
have been sdropped from the
Government payroll because OF
their sympathy with antl-admln-
;stration candidates, and other
horrors almost as appalling have
hoon committed by the party IN
mower. United States warshlps
are rushing to Mexican ports to
nrotect American lives and prop
ertv. ard there IS every indlca-
tion that the POLITICAL campaign
will he one OF the livellest and
most exc. .iaL on record.
Whom If comes TOD uttiug pep"
into a contest for the Presidency
Mexico is certainly the hot ia
male among American republics.
Only less exciting is the sltua-
ton in Uruguay. DIR. Brum,
President of that lively South
America country, has challenged
DR.. Larreta, member of Congress
and newspaper editor, to a duel
and the gage was instantly pick
ed up by the fiery scribe. In fact
Larreta rather forced hostilitles.
He criticized the President IN
his newspaper and the latter's
brother sent him a challenge
That was declined with the sar-
castle remark that DR.. Brum was
so far as known, neither a Grip
pie nor suffering from senlllty,
in which case he had better do
his own fighting. After that
deadly insult there was nothing
for the President to do but send
his seconds in a hurry and a taxi
cab.
We are rather glad on the
whole that our sordid commercial
spirit has so blunted our. delicate
sense of honor that revolutions
and duels are no longer recogniZ-
ed as legitimate political weapons.
It would be decidedly incon-
venient if General Wood, Senator
Johnson, William G. McAdoo,
Herbert Hoover and the rest
should each start a little rebel
lion and go around the country
soliciting campaign contributions
at the revolver's point. And no
one would wish that President
Wilson should challenge Senator
Lodge to personal combat with
broadswords under the shadow
of the Washington Monument. -
