CONTROL OF ROADS
BY PRACTICAL MEN
Civil War Orders Cited in Con-
sidering the Present Rail-
way Problems.
GUIDE FOR ACTION NOW

War Department records make u
clear that every official of the govern
ment charged with the operation OF the
railroads of which President Lincoln
took control as war measure was en-
phatic and constant in recommending
that only practical and experienced
railroad men should operate and nave
control over them.
In 1852 the Secretary of War was SO
convinced of the soundness of this view,
ne issued an order containing the fol
lowing paragraph:
mo officer. whatever may be his rank.
will interfere with the running Oh the
cars as directed by the superintendent
of the road. Amy one who SO lnterferes
will be dismissed from the service Tor
S]iSobedience of orders.
With that order of record as the re-
sult of some ten months of government
control of the few railroads that had
been taken over by the government
during the civil war. the present pro-
posaI to place the existing railroad syS-
TENS under a dictator makes It inter
esting and instructive to recall some OF
the many opinions as to government
control found in the archives OF the
War Department,

Is Recalled to Service.

Within ten days there is record that the
Secretary of War telegraphed to him:
Come back Immediately. Cannot get
on without you. Not wheel moving
How well the War Department sup
ported his determination to have only
practical railroad men operate the rail-
roads is shown by telegram sent to Gen.
Haupt soon after his return to duty after
receiving that summons from the Secre-
tary of War. Gen. Sturgis had refused to
obey Haupt's rulings as 10 troop move
ment. whereupon the War Department
sent to Haupt this telegram:
mo military officer has any authority
to interfere with your control over rail-
roads Show this to Cen Sturgis and if he
attempts to interfere l will arrest him"
The necessity for allowing only ex-
perienced railroad men to operate the
railroads is emphasized all through
Haupt's reports. Il was clearly of the
opinion he writes. that it was ex-
pedient in general to operate the rail-
roads used for military purposes by
and through the regular officers and
employees of such roads, using military
authority only when necessary to rem
der assistance to them in procuring
rolling stock or securing regularity of
train movements"

Legislation of 1862.

in January. 1862, Congress authorized
4he President when, i'll his judgment,
the public tafety may require 1T TO
take possession of any or of all of the
railroad or telegraph lines and to oper-
ate them lin the manner most condu-
give to the safety and interest of the

President Lincoln thereupon made Thomas
A. Scott, one of the vice presidents
of the Pennsylvania railroad. and later u
c. McCallum of the Erie railroad prac-
teal dictators OF the railroads and the
felegraphs of the country. After many
months of conflicts with various military
commanders who tried to manage differ
ent roads as they wished, Messrs Scott
and NIcCallum resigned and Gen. Herman
Haupt. a practical railroad man. was
placed in charge of the railroads the
President had taken over.
Haupt worked well with Cen Mcdowell,
but Gen. Pope as McDowell's successor
entirely disregarded and treated him with,
such disrespect that Haupt resigned and
left the service

How Operations Were Blocked.

Three of the principal causes that
blocked the operations of the railroads
under government control during the
civil war. as summarized by Gen
Haupt read almost as if they were
written to describe present conditions:
I'd Sending supplies to the advanced
terminus before they were required.
90 Lack of promptness in unload
ing and returning cars. Cars are
sometimes kept for weeks as store
houses
ts) OBTAINING trains beyond schedule
time
Two of the many War Department
kilograms sent to Gen. Haupt while he
was wrestling with these conditions
prove the realization by the Secretary
OF War of the necessity for having
only experienced railroad men handling
the important railroads. Gen Haiieck
on one occasion wired to Gen Haupt:
No military officer will give auy
orders to your subordinates excent
through you. nor will any one of them
attempt to interfere with the running
of trains"
On another occasion there is record

A WORTHY INSTITUTION

A couple of members of the Star
staff, Sunday afternoon, strayed over
to the greenhouse and interviewed
John Heintz, Ocala's patron saint of
the flowers.
Of all times of the year, this is the
one when flowers are least in evidence
in our state, but the greenhouse is al
ways an interesting place to visit.
John explained if the greenhouse
was chicken it would be moulting.
The June roses were gone, and the
later summer flowers had not begun
to bloom.
He had many asters, that hardy
but pretty flower, which blooms all
summer long. The little chrysanthe-
NUNS, looking like tomato plants,
were there in hundreds, and he had
little pot plants by the score. He had
been busy preparing beds for roses,
and when the time comes they will be
masses of fragrant bloom.
John turned from the flowers to
point out a hickory tree which he cut
back few years ago. Then tall and
spindling it is now sturdy and spread
ing. 1t has more nuts on it than there
are inside the walls of Matteawan.
The greenhouse is mighty good
institution, and the people should
patronize it more than they now do.
Not to speak of the great convenience
of having the greenhouse itself, Mr..
Heintz has a thorough and scientific
knowledge of flowers, plants and floral
decoration which make him most
valuable man to have in a city the
| size of Ocala.
