Why McAdoo is Secretary oi
the Treasury.

Hon. VIM. G. AcAdoo, 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 recent pub
lication quotes from a speech made
by him several years ago, in which
he said:
Il 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 bit careless with
fire." and for this reason among
other things he never has been a
popular man in Georgia. For my
self, however, I feel that / owe
General Sherman a debt of graft
tude. He produced conditions and
an environment which made it nee
essary for the individual to develop
every resourcee and every power
with which nature had endowed
him, in order to exist. believe
that character is produced and de-
veloped to the highest degree by
hardships, suffering and poverty. |
have never doubted that whatever
of character or capacity l have de-
veloped has been in large measure
due to the surroundings and condi-
tions which General Sherman forced
upon the people of my section dur
ing the great war.
MIR. 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 of the banking business;
then he turned his attention 80 the
construction of the Hudson tunnel.
after English and American engi-
neers and promoters had failed, in
duced New York bankers to provide
about $75, 100000 for carrying out
his broad plaus, and raised nearly
as much more at another time in
bidding on subway work for the
city. Mr.. McAdoo takes the ground
that whatever character and capac-
ity he has developed are in 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 follew the old
saying, root hog, or die" There
is much disposition in these days To
train young people to think that
ease in life, a soft job aud short
hours are the essential things to
look for. The men who are going
to do work that will match Nc
Adoo's are not the boys who are
looking for easy jobs and short
hours. Manufacturers Record.
