WRITTEN FOR H SUNDAY REfUBLlG
The death in a New York hospital OF
William Armand. the champion beeC-drtnaer
Of the East, was the occasion Tor much
speculation as to the amount Of beer a man
might drink with safety; and incidentally
Tor the republication IT Armand's record as
e consumer c. the amber fiuid. Papers in
New York and other Eastern cities gave
columns Of space to descriptions of the
ability OF the champion in his peculiar line.
ana much wonder was expressed that q
man could consume seven quarts Of beer
e. day. on an average. for twenty-five years.
Many ST. Bouisans read the accounts Of
his death. and the statements of his record,
with amused interest. Seven quarts a day
IS nothing" they said. "Why We have men

South Side. His friends declare that
K-urzerknabe has consumed seven times
seven quarts OF beer per day ever since
trey have known him; and point to him
as the champion Of ST. Louis.
Mr.. Kurzenknabe, while modestiy declar-

had consumed on an average halc a keg,

Asked to tell v7hat effect the consump-
ton of SO much malt liquor had on his
health, Mr.. K~urzenknabe declared he had
always enjoyed perfect health. save for
one spell OF pneumonia. "If it had any e-

THE CHURCH AND POLITICS
Where Ecclesiastical Tinkering Ii
 Out of Place.

Why Preachers and Churches Should Not Enter Politics." was the subject of a sermon delivered by the Rev. c. V. Cowan. pastor of the First NJ. F. church. Sunday morning. A few excerpts from his address are append ed
 "We legislate as citizens. not as church members or Christians. Re ligious convictions may constitute the highest citizenship and the citizen may enter the field. But why not the Chris tian. as such. enter this field? Because it is opposed to the spirit of our insti- tutions. which have been so delicately poised on the question of religion.
 The church cannot healthfully es- pouse any political method. First. be- cause political methods are not first in importance. being rather resultant than causative. Second. because the church needs equal evangelical influ- ence over men of all political creeds. It is the mission of the church To save all classes in all parties.
 Tt is unwise for a church to take any political attitude that would pro duce among organized classes any ir- ritation against it. There is but one step from hatred of a church to hatred of religion.
 Whenever a religious organization voices itself on the political exigencies it goes beyond itself and blunders
 "The infection is abroad. These are times of more or less ecclesiastical tinkering with politics. Many of our people are not drawing the line.

and otherwise, may have operated to re-
duce the average return below the level
established for other enterprises. Yet,
however this may be there is unques-
tionably an ultimate limit, and, wheth-
er or not it can be ascertained or even
expressed in any but the most general
terms, no student of transportation can
afford to ignore it's existence.
In conclusion the writer may be per-
mitted to indicate the direction of some
of the practical applications of the
theory that is here suggested. The
most obvious bearing is upon the desir-
ability of railway agreements for the
suppression of competition among lines
connecting the same points, and for the
if railway rates tend naturally toward a
minimum in the establishment of which
the cost of operation is an important
element, the enforcement of wasteful
competitive methods of administration
is undesirable, as the costs of such meth
DDS must inevitably become charge
upon traffic. It will probably appear
also to have considerable force in deter
mining the economic desirability of ex-
tensive corporate consultations and the
degree and character of state control
over rates. The method to be adopted
for the taxation of railway property
would appear to be affected as, if the
conditions of railway transportation
have been correctly interpreted, such a
tax must be distributed among railway
patrons.-H. T. Newcomb, in the Yale
Review.

Mr.. George M. Basford, in a recent
lecture before the graduating class of
Purdue University, made some practical
and helpful suggestions. He said in
part:
"You are soon to come to the decis.
ion: What next?' and am safe in
saying that you do not all know your
possibilities, and that comparatively few
know just what you are best fitted for.
1t is specially important, under such cir
cumst ances, to seek opportunities rather
than positions. To decide to take your
courses was an important step in that it
was the acceptance of long, hard task

sad reflection upon intelligence and
even honor when promotion of faithful
and capable men is not uppermost in the
mind of the chief in such case.
Chances for Young Men.
| There was never a better time for
young men to enter locomotive work
than now. For years the chief improve
ments have been in the form of increas-
ed weight and size, and motive power
men have generally found the problems
presented by the traffic and passenger
departments more important and more
pressing than those affecting economi-
cal operation. The demands for fast
and heavy trains are growing not less,
but more severe, and the development in
size and weight has been carried to a
point which compels attention to econ
omy for it's own sake, and also because
of the fact that increased economy
means increased capacity and more
horse-p power without exceeding the limi-
tations of clearance and weight. The
question now is, as put by Mr.. E. M.
Herr, how to enable fireman to shovel
more horsepower into the flrebox.
The fireman's limit has been reached
and in some cases passed, and this fact
seems likely to exert most important
influence on the future design of loco
motives. The desire to postpone the
day of two firemen on locomotive has
already led to the consideration of the
wide firebox One after another of the
improvements which have marked the
progress of other branches of steam en-.
gineering will probably come up for
consideration for the same reason, to re-
lieve the fireman, and, also, to increase
the capacity of the locomotive. This
will probably mean much for the loco
motive and also for the young men who
prepare themselves to take part in it's
future development. A total weight of
$50, 300 pounds for q locomotive has
been reached, the wheel loads are prob
ably as high as they can go with present

ing. A we'll considered article in a
technical journal of high standing once
or twice year brings the writer's name
into pleasant and profitable prominence,
and good paper on vital subject read
before one of the technical associations
is exceedingly helpful in acquiring and
extending acquaintance. 1t is a serious
mistake to neglect opportunities of this
kind The writer also profits directly
because he crystallizes his own opinions
in telling them to others. The reputa-
tion gained by having ones name at the
head Of good articles on important sub
jects is not to be despised. If you think
you cannot write well enough, perhaps
some editor will be glad to help you.
Whether you write papers or articles
or not, subscribe for the best technical
papers and join an engineering associa.
ton or railroad club. If you have an
association here you should use it.
Not Sufficient to Know.
1t is not sufficient to know something,
it is necessary that others should know
that you know it, in order to open the
opportunities for which you are prepar.
ed. Many complain that they are not
consulted and that they have no chances,
being kept in the same old ruts and not
entrusted with important and interest
ing matters. Doubtless such situation
would be changed by well considered
suggestions to superiors, carefully
worked out and presented in finished
form. One may urge and argue with
his superiors, hoping to induce them to
take up some improvement, but if put in
the form of complete scheme, with
perhaps alternatives, the arguments,
even if not successful, will carry an i'm.
preston of ability and earnestness
which will not be lost.
Beginners have no voice in determin-
ing their relations with their superiors,
but as you will soon have responsibilities
over the work of others, a study of or
ganization is necessary. Ideal organiza-
tion is represented in military and naval
affairs, where every officer is prepared
for advancement, and is educating his
own successor. In these fields there is
never the slightest difficulty in finding
men prepared for advancement, and yet
how this lesson has been lost in many
mercantile and railroad organizations !
The constant stream of inquiries received
at our Office for men qualified to do this
and that, from draughtsman to superin-
tendents of motive power, testifes to a
serious weakness, to which proper at.
tention cannot be too quickly given.
Railroad officers should be made to see
that they are generally fatally deficient
in their methods of securing their SUBJ
