HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS

Down by the riverside, there is
the sound of toiling men, and slaves,
and the crack of the whip. II Is the
labor that went into the Potomac
River, to clear IL for the passage of
boats. But the whip? Yes, we
know that the whip was used, for the
man who succeeded Mr.. James Rum
sey as superintendent of the Old Po-
tomae Company, when charged with
cruelty towards the laborers, stated
that "old convicts make the best
overseers, as themselves know what
it Is to be whipped"
In the light of the above, the char
acter of MIR. Rumsey, the first SUI
perintendent, stands out in sharp
contrast. He was liked by the work
ers. and the only time he had trou-
BILE or i'll will from them was when
he could not pay them, because he
had not received the money from
the treasurer. One Of his letters
told such circumstance: u hope
YOU will forward the money as Soon

At this time there was whole
months pay due some of the work
ers. And we find this interesting
light on Mr.. Rumsey, IN his own
words, in the same letter: 'One OF
our best men had the misfortune OF
having boath his hands most hor-
ridly manned by a Charge of powder

that there should be no deductions

A letter of the following March
tells about plans for entertaining two
guests. They were Mr.. Brindley,
manager of the Susquehanna Canal.
and Mr.. Harris, manager of the
James River Navigation Company.
These gentlemen approved the route
chosen by Washington and Rumsey
for the canal around the Great
Falls. Mr. Washington had hopes of
securing these men TO design the
locks for this canal, as he wrote to
the directors: "He (Mr. Brindley)
thinks however that good deal of
attention and judgment Is required
in fixing locks there; the height of
which he observes is always gov
erned by the ground they FREE
quently run from four TO eighteen
feet, and sometimes as high as
twenty -four. The nature and de-
clination of the ground, according
TO him, Is alone to direct where
this will admit, the larger the Locks
the better because more conven-
lent" And in the same letter, Cen
eral Washington comments on his
own knowledge of the construction
of locks: with respect to this part
of the business, feel, and always
have confessed an entire incom-
petency:--nor do ! conceive that
theoretical knowledge alone Is adj
equate to the undertaking. Locks,
upon the most judicious PLAN will
certainly be expensive; and If not
properly constructed. and iudlcious-
ly placed, may be altogether useless.
It Is for these reasons that ! have
frequently suggested. the pro-
priety of employing a professional
man"
AS was stated last week, MIR. Rum
sey had his hands full constantly,
with both the weighty matters of
the construction and with many,
many details He was always or

ieet, that OF building a boat to be

they parted. But Mr.. Rumseys in

passed, and believe that Is was
solely in this interest that he later
brought an imposing list Of charges
against his successor, the former as

and directors Investigated the charges,
and tried to deny them, but it was a
short time later that they discharged
Mr.. Stuart. One of the charges was
referred to, that of hiring old con-
viets as supervisors, and the whip

elsewhere, thus greatly hindering
the progress Of the work at all
places. He admitted doing this, and
gave as his reason that he did IL to

Patterson Wins Fight
To Hold $4,000 Job
Over Retirement

William j. Patterson. veteran
member Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, has won his
fight to hold his $4,000 job, de-
spite the fact he reached the COM
pulsory retirement age Of TO on
June 4.
President Truman late yester-
day signed an order exempting
Mr.. Patterson from the retire
ment law for an indefinite"
period.
Mr.. Patterson contended that
he was entitled to hold Office at
least until the. expiration of his
term on December 81, 1852. de-
spite the age law.
Pay Cut Off June 80.
However. when no immediate
waiver was forthcoming from the
White House, the commission cut
off his pay on June 80. Since
then, Mr.. Patterson has been
working every day.
Under the Presidential order,
Mr.. Patterson may serve "for an
indefinite period of time, not ex-
tending beyond the expiration Of
his present term Of office"
There is further provision that
"his present term Of office shall
be considered as expiring upon the
appointment and qualification Of
his successor"
Terms are Seven Years.
1CC terms are for seven years,
but the law provides that all in
cumbentS remain in Office until
their successors have been ap-
pointed and qualified.
Under this provision, Commis-
aioner Clyde B. Aitchison, q Re
publican. has been holding over
since December 81, although he Is
rs.
Another septugenarian on the
11-member commission is Col. j.

whose term will be up on Septem-
Der 81, 1855. President Truman
waived the age limit for both Mr..
