Secretary Of Treasury and Di-
rector General of Railways
viii Retire Soon.
MAY STEP OUT JAN. |
President Wilson Accepts Resignation
Of His Son-in-Law, but His Sue
cessor Has Not Been An
nounced.

Washington, Nov. %. William
Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treas
ury, director general of railroads and
often discussed as one OF the presi-
dental possibilities OF 1920, has
r~esigneds his offices to return 10 pri-
waite business.
President Wilson has accepted his
resignation.
MIR. McAdoo will give up the treas
has been selected.
He wished to lay down his work as
director general of railroads by Jan.
!, bat win remain If the President has
not then chosen a successor.
ON the new secretary OF the treas
ury. whoever he may be, will devolye
the task of financing the nation
through the transition period Of war
10 peace, which probably will include
at least two more Liberty Loans and
possibly also a further revision OF the
system of war taxation.
Resignation Made Public.
Letters between President Wilson
and Mr.. McAdoo, made public with
the announcement of the resignation,
give Mr.. McAdoo's reasons for leav-
ing the cabinet solely as a necessity
for replenishing his personal fortune
and express the Presidents deep re-
greet at losing his son.in-law from his
official family.
II is entirely probable the President
may FIJI separately the Offices of secre-
tary of the treasury and director gen
eral OF railroads. There was nothing
official on which to base a statement
OF who might be under consideration
for secretary OF the treasury.
On previous occasions, when a sue
eessor to Mr.. McAdoo a discussed,
John SHELTON Williams. comptroller of
the currency. and w. u. G.. Harding,
governor of the Federal Reserve board,
have most generally been mentioned.
Paul Warbnfg. formerly q member
of the reserve board and a New York
banker, ami Russell G.. ~Leiiing~eii. as
sistaDt secretary of the treasury. also
are reckoned among the possibilities.
Railroad Heads Suggested.
President Wilson is moi required to
choose the new director general Of
railroads from among the cabinet
members, and II is possible the place
may so to someone associated with
Mr. McAdoo In the railroad admins
tration.
IL the, place should go to a member
of the cabinet. Secretary Baker of the
Wa department. Postmaster General
Burleson and Secretary Lane of the
Interior department are likely to be
considered.

Our first line trenches, including re- serves, will eventually be manned by 2,5CO0O0 men. That, at least, com prises the number of draft registrantS in Class as result of the question naire system. This is at least 500. .00C more than had been estimated.
 The total number of Class 1 men is higher, of course, being around 3,ll6,- GOO; but physical disqualifications based on 20 per cent of the whole, will bring the first line fighters to the fig ure stated.
 This in itself is a huge army-more men than took part on both sides ir the civil war throughout the four years of it's duration.
 And it is only our first contingent of men; if need be, we can produce as many more.
 Contemplation should cause the kaiser and his cohorts to pause ana consider. The kaiser can save himself all the trouble the 2,500,000 will cause by listening to the reasonable peace terms of President Wilson and the allies, to be had for the asking.

EGG SPECULArORS HARD HIT.

There always seems to be a way fol the Government to put the skids under the obnoxious party. Roundabout ways are sometimes utilized to attair the desired end-but the federal ma chinery usually "gits there,"
 Take the case of the egg specula- tors, for instance.
 The price of hen fruit has been rath- CT high all winter, but two or three weeks ago the figures began being quoted lower.
 Folks credited the good news to the warm weather; but that is only part ly true.

The American Alliance for Labor and Democracy, in it's national confer ence, declared it's unswerving adher- ence to the cause of democracy, now assailed by the forces of autocracy and militarism, and pledges loyal support and service to the United States Gov- ernment and its allies in the present world conflict
 "The one overshadowing issue is the preservation of democracy" says the Red, White and Blue Book, the official record of the organized labor move ment of America in relation to the world war. "Either Democracy will endure and men will be free, or autoc racy will triumph, and the race will be enslaved On this prime issue we take our stand. The great war must be fought to decisive result; until autocracy is defeated there can be no hope of an honorable peace, and to compromise the issue is only to SOW the seed for bloodier and more devas tating wars in the future. In this crisis the one fundamental need is unity of action. The successful prose cution of the war requires that all the energies of cur people be concentrat- ed to a common purpose. Loyalty de- mands that all render the government every service in their powcr.'

sas and Louisiana and other southern states. And naturally, the product was rushed to the consuming centers up north"
 But note the difference between now and formerly: In the old days, when the speculative egg market started to break, the gentlemen gamblers mere ly passed the word to Friend Railroad. The gist of the conversation was, "Hold up those cars; put 'cm on side track"
 And the egg cars took long time to reach their destination every time. These fancy cold storage cars help ed along the game.
 The public continued to pay a high price for eggs until late in the season.
 But this year things were different. The Government was running the rail- roads and the mysterious necromancy between the speculators and railroad officials wasn't working. The result was that the eggs came to market as fast as Mrs. Biddy pro- duced them. Some classes of freight moves slow on the Government rail- roads, but not foodstuffs. That goes along with rush ahead of every thing else.
 The result was that in New York City, to cite an example, the egg market" broke 28 cents a dozen in nine days.
 The spectators strongly oppose such lack of system on the national railroads.
