Suffrage Association, is in St. Louis to
present the cause of the suffragists to

ment to appear before the National
Committee tomorrow and make an

to the Republican National Conven-
ton.

under the direction of Miss Minnie

wy ASHlNGTON, Feb. II. - Mr..

not the ynissinv link

w McAdoo, have to report, is
not the missing link.
The railway people have hoped that
he would be an efficient bridge between
the government and the railway or
csnizations. Their idea of his proper
function was. that he would say lii q
General way from time 20 time what the
governments transportation require
ments were and leave the method of
meeting them to the railway managers.
For instance. they would have cx-
rected him to say in regard to cx-
uediting shipments of food for the
Allies:
"Thc Allies have got to have so
much -four at North Atlantic ports by
February 10. Now, it is up to you
railway men to get it there"
Instead he said: "Start special
through freight trains. loaded with
food from Minneapolis and Chicago,
and keep them moving till they reach
tidewater.'
They expected him to say: at is
essential that coal shipments be ex-
pedited Do it,"
Instead he ordered the railways to
embargo everything except coal and
one or two other classes of goods, and
concentrate on moving coal. Instead
Of suggesting, he commands. Instead
of merely stating the purpose, he di
rects how it shall be realized
He isn't the missing link-hc is the
whole chain.
Railway men say that it is questiona-
BILE whether any man can really man.
age 10000 miles of railway AS for
any human being able to manage
100000 miles of railway-why. it can't
be done. OF course, in the sense of
direct personal management and COM
plete understanding in which they
speak, it can't be done. They admit
that in an abstract way the thing is
possible But here is Mr.. McAdoo. a
green hand, doing concrete things with

Drops Cabinet Role
To Be Railway Head

When Mr.. McAdoo arrives at his
Offices in the Interstate Commerce
Building in the afternoon he ceases to
be the Secretary OF the Treasury and
a dozen other things. He becomes the
railway manager. He doesn't say to
his railway cabinet: Gentlemen. have
you anything to suggest to-day?' On
the contrary, he says: This soft corn
has got to be moved. That's the big
Job in the West. Now move those
empty freight cars that have turned
New England into one big car storage
and send them West"

Federal Traffic
Mr. McAdoo Judged by Results, Declared Not To Be the
Missing Link but the Whole Chain in
the Railway Situation
BY Theodore M. Knappcn

IN years of experience makes it very
difficult to move empty cars West as
fast as loaded cars come East" we
may imagine one of the staff saying.
Then. perhaps, he starts in to explain
why it is so. And there is an cxplana-
ton. The explanation doesn't interest
Mr McAdoo.
"Now. look here, gentlemen" he may
say. what comes East must go West.
Tho locomotives that haul the cars
East go West in turn, do they not?
Very we'll, wire Smith at New York to
get those cars West"
The telegram is sent and presently
empty cars begin to arrive at Chicago.
Mr.. Smith, as president of the New
York Central somehow or other didn't
get the cars west. AS regional director
of the Eastern railways, he does get
them there. Why? Well, one reason is
that every man is capable of doing more
and better than he has been doing
when some one in authority tells him
that he has got TO do it.
Mr.. McAdoo is that authority. He
works at it. Besides, he doesn't know
what is impossible in railroading.
In my humble way, as an observer
of government war organization and
administration. after seeing a manu-
facturer of pneumatic tools build
ships, car manufacturer operate
them, a college president coaling the
nation and so on, had come to the
conclusion that it would have been the
part of wisdom to have had real rail-
way man run the unified railways. Tn
der the Lever law, which practically
makes it impossible for anybody who
is in any business to have charge of
any government activity that might
make it necessary to sdo business with
himself, it might have been impossible
to appoint any railway executive of
national fame to the position. But it
seemed the logical thing to do.
McAdoo Seeks and
Gets Only Results
Mr.. McAdoo is just beginning to
climb the hill and presently ne may
be slipping pretty badly, but there
seems to be some argument tor the
appointment of a layman to the posi-
tion of Director General of the Rail
ways 1t would have been pretty hard
for Mr.. Smith, of the New York Cen
trail if he had been made Director
General, to tell President Rea of the
Pennsylvania to run dirty coal cars
through his nice passenger train
tubes, but Mr.. McAdoo thinks no more
of such an order than of directing the
cook to turn his bacon and eggs.
Mr. Smith, as regional director. is all
right because he can always pass the
buck to Mr.. McAdoo, and all railways
look alike to Mr.. McAdoo He is ham
rored neither by railway amenities nor
railway custom. Your train-mile rail
way authority can tell you. to nicely
why it is bad practice to run solid
through freight trains from Minneapo-
lis to New York. But anything that
gets food to the Allies looks like good
practice to a layman.
1t is just possible that President
Wilson knew what he was about when
he made Mr.. McAdoo Director Gen
cral of the Railways of America.

PECULIAR SOURCE OF RIVER
Pool Flowing From Cave Gives Rise
to the OkIaWaha Stream In
Heart of Florida.

Down through the heart Of Florida
winds one of the most beautiful of
American rivers, aptly named by the
Indians Oklawaha, Crooked Wa
ters." The steamboat that carries you
up the stream scrapes its sides against
the river banks as it twists through
the palmettos and live oaks which
line the river bed. Every few min
utes 1t seems that the boat will run
into the banks, which refuse to stay
at the sides, but are always shifting
SO as to get directly in the way. Just
as you decide what to do when the
apparently inevitable collision shall
occur, a long pole, ~dexterously guided.
shoots out. the boat swings around,
and you are safe until next time.
Presently the charm of the tropics
seizes you. and you forget to worry
about the boat. You hear a sudden
'kerchunk," and a sleepy alligator
filings himself from his sunny log into
the water. The swamps beside the
river are rank with lilies, water hya-
cinths, and yellow jasmine. Gray
Spanish moss twines over the trees.
The foliage is so dense that you readi-
ly imagine yourself In the African jun
gle instead OF only a few miles from
civilization.
The water of the Oklawaha Is black
as you look down, but IL you dip up a
cupful it is clear and sparkling. Down
to join the dark river flows the Silver
Spring run, a stream as clear as the
Oklawaha is turbid. Here the boat
leaves the main stream Of the Ottawa
ha and travels up the tributary to its
source, the mysterious Silver spring, a
pool 70 feet deep, flowing from a great
cave. How the water gets into the
cave. and why 1t rushes forth with
such force are problems yet waiting
for scientific explanation. The great
pool is 600 feet from lip to lip, q dia-

A faint call from the sick o in
terrupted their exchange of condolences
and both stood over the figure breath
ing so la~boriously. The doctor felt the
pulse and looked very compassionately
at the lined features.
"Guess I'm done for, Zebiah," came
in a~far-away voice, "and-and-don't

the shrunken lips. 'There is nothing

girl. / might've done better by you.
Don't give the Doc any of my money"
Silence ensued.
The doctor noislessly arose and COW
cred the body with the sheet. "She Is
dead" he said simply.
Zebiah retreated into the other room
and the doctor followed. She was dry
eyed and felt horribly old. Irritating
and complaining as her stepmother had
been, she now had no one and the void
seemed too immense to fill. Her head
sank upon her chest.
"Zebiah," the doctor called.
Zebiah was aroused from her apathy
by his use of her Christian name.
"Zebiah," he repeated, will you
marry me?"
Zebiah stared in incredulous amaze
ment.
"We are both alone in the world"
he continued gently taking her hands.
"Your goodness to your stepmother has
aroused love 1 long thought gone.

"But, doctor, DOCTOR" Zebiah's voice
seemed another part of her, I'm only

Wizard Will Extract Sugar From
Cactus To Avert Shortage, Is
--latest Report From
the Front"

Santa Rosa March 12--Luthel
Burbank, plant wizard, has gone "ovel
the top with another suggestion for
helping to win the war
With the shortage in sugar and the
proposed reduction of the quantities
used in soft drink manufacture and
candy making, Burbank proposes to
extract glucose, or fruit sugar. from
the fruit of the spineless cactus which
he has brought to perfection
"The cactus Is going to surprise
everybody some Of these days. he
laughed Like alfalfa, which lam
guished for so many years without
appreciation, 1t Is due for great utl
ization
No such thing as crop failure
need be feared in cactus. It will pro-
duce fifty tons of fruit to the acre in
any climate. Drought does not hurt
it, yet water does not harm it. The
cactus fruit is very rich in sugar. es-
pocally that grown in the hotter ell
mates but it is fruit sugar and no
known process will extract the sugar
and crystalize It."
