WHY MADOO IS SECRETARY OF THE
 TREASURY.

Hon. Wm. c. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, is evidently bad man. He does not believe in young people having things too easy and comfortable. He believes that work develops character. A re- cent publication quotes from a speech made by him several years ago, in which he said:
 was brought up in Georgia in the path of General Sherman S fa- nous march to the sea. As Henry Grady once remarked, General Sherman was a bit careless with fire and for this reason among other things he never has been a popular man in Georgia. For my self, however, feel that 1 owe General Sherman a debt of grati- tude. He produced conditions and an environment which made it ne- cessary for the individual to devel- op every resource and every power with which nature had endowed him, in order to exist. 1 believe that character is produced and de- veloped to the highest degree by hardships, suffering and poverty. l have never doubted that whatever of character and capacity 1 have developed has been in large meas ure due to the surroundings and conditions which General Sherman forced upon the people of my sec tion during the great war.
 MT. McAdoo in his own life has proven the truth of the views ex- pressed. Going to New York some years ago as an unknown man, at least unknown to that city, he made success in the banking business; then turned his attention to the construction of the Hudson tunnel, after English and Ameri- can engineers and promoters had failed, induced New York bankers to provide about $z5,OOO,OOO for carrying out his broad plans, and raised nearly as much more at an- other time in bidding on subway work for the city. MT. McAdoo takes the ground that whatever character and capacity he has de- veloped are in a large measure due to the conditions which in the South just after the war made it necessary in his case, as in that of all others, to follow the old saying of root, hog, or die There is too much disposition in these days to train young people to think that ease in life, a soft job and short hours are the essentiel things to look for. The men who are going to do a work that will match McAdoo,s are not the boys who are looking for easy jobs and short hours.

law when there were so many more
urgent and important things in life
to do
He waited four days for an answer
to his letter and receiving none wrote
again. In the meantime the day for
final action on his appeal had passed
and his suit was legally ended. On the
last day his lawyer pleaded with him
for an hour to file the appeal suit and
then compromise at his leisure. The
doctor merely smiled quietly and re-
peated his decision:
I'm done fighting. I've something
else to do"
When Bivens failed to reply to his
second letter be made up his mind to
see him personally. He was sure the
letter had been turned over to lawyer
and the financier had never seen IT.
He called at Bivens' Office three times
and always met the same answer:
Mr. Bivens is engaged for every
hour today. You must call again"
On the fourth day, when he had
stayed until time for closing the Office,
a secretary informed him that Mr..
Bivens was too busy with matters Of
great Importance to take up any new
business of any kind for month and
that he had given the most positive
orders to that effect to all his men. Ii
be would return the first of next
month he would see what could be
done.
The doctor left in disgust. He deter
mined to break through this ceremonial
nonsense, see Bivens face to face and
settle the affair at once.
When he should see him personally it
would be but question of five min
utes friendly talk and the matter
would be ended. Now that he recalled
little traits of Bivens' character he
didn't seem such a scoundrel after all,
just the average money mad man who
could see but one side Of life He
would remind him in a friendly way Of
their early association and the help he
had given him at an hour Of his life
when he needed it most He wouldn't
cringe or plead. He would state the
whole situation frankly and truthfully
and with dignity propose settlement.
