You may buy a locomotive for $3,-
900: that Is, one that is popularity term
ed a "dinkey," or should you wish one
Of the fastest, largest, latest passen
ger engines in the world, $4,000 Is the
price. While there are, now and then,
stories cabled from the other side Of
the ocean as to the wonderful rate Of
speed attained by this, that, or the 9th
er foreign railroad, yet the recent new
record in New York-107 miles an hour
will most likely hold the Europeans
for time at least. Many experienced
railroad men are of the opinion that
the maximum rate of speed in the pas
senger service has about been reached,
while an opposite view Is held by eX-
treme progressivists. 1t is, however,
generally admitted that it Is more than
possible to build engines which will
make better time than that now made,
but the fear obtains that it will be i'm
possible to secure men to drive them,
for the reason that there Is limit to
human endurance. In this connection
one Of the most prominent locomotive
engineers in the country said: 1T
matters not In the least how high a
rate of speed engine builders develop,
1t Will not, In my opinion, be hard
task to employ men to drive them.
With the assurance of clear track,
Il Is just as easy for an engineer to
run his engine at a rate of 100 miles
an hour, as it would be to cover half
that distance in the same period of
time. All that Is necessary to i'm
prove the present system Is to keep the
track as absolutely clear as it is posi-
bic to do so. This state of affairs does
not exist at the present time. Grant
ing that every reasonable Improvement
Is made In the manner | have indi.
| Gated, l see no reason to fear a scarci-

trains. LOCOMOTIVE engineers are grad
ually developed to that high point of
efficiency wherein they safely drive
top-notch speed trains. From fireman
on 'shifter' they are gradually pro-
NOTED as they become experienced and
demonstrate their qualities and relia-
bility. From the position of fireman
the first promotion is to be engineer
of the 'shifter,' and from the latter to
engineer of local freight, then to local
passenger, then an express train, and
finally, after they have thus been tried
out and found to be all there. they
assume the responsibility Of driving
the fastest trains on the road. Thus
1t will be seen that an engineer of a
limited or special has naturally
grown into the position, and, If assured
of n clear track. ninety-nine times out
of hundred he will safely roll his
train into the station on time"

Is not prudence one of the cardinal
virtues May it not be an absolute
duty? Shall people marry without
taking thought of the consequences!
Shall young man barely able to sup
port himself in decency assume the
added burden of supporting a wife
and family? These are very practical
questions, and they affect not merely
the individuals concerned, but also all
society, is the character which fore
goes marriage as obviously imprudent
and of the nature of a selfish indul-
gence reprehensble as disgraceful to
the individual and to society, and as
"trouble" which can or ought to be
conquered? 1t is perplexing subject,
and it cannot be settled wisely in the
off-handed fashion adopted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Undoubtedly the con-
ditions of advancing civilization, its
greater compleXity, the increasing den
sity Of population, in the large towns
more especially, and the sharper com
petition of existence, are tending to the
diminution Of the marriage and birth
rates; but how can the result be pre-
vented unless the causes are removed
Is it not possible that by the subjec-
ton of impulse to the restraints of
reason better service is done to society
than when inclination is allowed free
sway without regard to the conse-
Quences.

was made complete when. on opening

the other with hind foot hard and

The one with his foot fast was un.
