A modern way of going out into
the highways and hedges would per-
haps be to go out and put an lad"
In the paper, says the Literary Dr.
gest. At least this is what the AL
bany ministers did when, confronted
with the problem of constantly d.
minishing church attendance, they
decided to compel them to come in"
The capital of New York usually as
sumes news prominence by reason
of political happenings, but last sum-
mer one of its daily papers took a
church attendance census. The fig
ures were so small as to provoke
comment from a number Of religious
journals. After such unusual pub
lefty, says the New York Christian
Advocate, those in charge of the Al
bany churches evidently believed 1t
was time to act" Sunday, September
81, was selected as Everybody at
Church Day"
The pastors of twenty churches in
serted a full-page advertisement in
the Saturday edition of one of the
most widely circulated Albany
dailies. 1.-THE first half of the adver-
tisement was an appeal to the public
on the social duty of churchgoing, "
one reads in the Christian Advocate.
and it began in these words:
The man who stays away from the
polls on election day fails in a duty
to society. Good citizens call him I'M
patriotic, and rightly Every man
should take his stand one way OF
another at the polls.
1t does not occur to most people that

PASTORS WHO ADVERTISE

staying away from church is
kindred failure in duty to society. Men
must vote for or against the church.
H. does not occur to most persons that
upon religious services
is really nothing more nor less than a
vote against religious service-a vote
t. remove them from society.
Go to almost any one who Is not a
church attendant and say: 1T see you
do not believe in God"
He will answer Indignantly that he
does believe IN God, even If he does
not think 1t necessary to express that
belief in Him by attending church and
doing Him reverence. But how Is the
world to know his sentiment If he does
not cast his vote? The world knows
that by the mere action of going to
church q man says: Il believe In
God"
The lower half of the page was given
to a display announcement of the
services of each church. But the real
interest in such means lies in the way
the end is attained. The Albany min
listers are satisfied on this score. AS
was said In an editorial in church
paper:
The outcome OF this first attack Of
the united church forces on the luke
warm the backslidden, the easy going,
was notable increase, in every in
stance, at both the morning and eve-
ming services, though the day was
somewhat lowering and in the after
noon and evening there was a steady
rain. The Albany ministers express
| themselves very freely as highly
| pleased with the experiment, and en-
tirely hopeful Of the future.

No one can respect himself or have
that sublime faith in himself which
makes for high achievement while he
puts half-hearted, mean service into
his work. The man who has not
learned to fling his whole soul Into
his task, who has not learned the
secret of taking the drudgery out OF
his work by putting the best of him
self into 1t, has not learned the first
principles of success or happiness.
Let other people do the poor jobs,
the botched work, if they will. Keep
your standard up. 1t is lofty ideal
that redeems the life from the curse
of commences and imparts a touch
of nobility to the personality.
No matter how small your salary
or how unappreciative your employer,
bring the entire man to your task:
be all there; fling your life into 1t
with all the energy and enthusiasm;
you can muster. Poor work Injuries
your employer a little, but 1t may
ruin you Be proud of your work
and go to it every morning superbly
equipped; go to it in the spirit OF a
master of q conqueror. Determine to
do your level best and never to de-
moralize yourself by doing your Sec
ond best.
The Introduction of inferiority into
our work is like introducing subtle
poison into the system. 1t paralyzes
the normal functions. Inferiority Is
an infection which, like heaven, at
fects the entire system. 1t dulis
ideals, palsies the aspiring faculty,
stupefies the ambition and causes de-
terioration all along the line.
The human mechanism Is so con-
stituted that whatever goes wrong
In one part affects the whole struc-
ture. There is a very intimate rela-
ton between the quality of the work
and the quality of the character.
Many a criminal now in prison, could
trace his downfall to a habit of half
doing things and putting dishonesty
into his work.
Everything you do is part of your
career. If any work that goes out OF
YOUR hands is skimped, shirked.
bungled or botched, your character
will suffer. If your work is badly
done; If it goes to pieces; If mere
is shoddy or sham in it: If there is
dishonesty in it, there is shoddy,
sham, dishonesty in your character.
We are all of a piece. We cannot
have an honest character, complete.
untarnished career, when we are con-
stantly slipping rotten hours, defec-
tive material and sOpshod service
into our work.
If you put your conscience into your
work. no matter how poorly YOU
are paid, the fruits of 1t will come
back to you some time in some way.
You cannot afford to do poor job.

DISPUTES COUNTY CLAIMS

To the Editor of the Evening Star
In the public press of October is
was printed what purports to be 81
statement to political meeting held
at Caldwell, made by Mr.. Walter A
Evans, director of the Essex County
Board of Chosen Freeholders, and one
of the Republican candidates for re-
election to said board, in which he
claimed that the high county tax
rate this year over 1912 was not
chargeable to the action of the free
holders.
As this assertion apparently sets
forth O statement of fact which, If
passed unchallenged, might carry
some weight. coming from such a
source, the following statement is sub
mitted:
The county tax levy for 1918 calls
for the raising of $4,110,057 Oh, to which
must be added the unexpended bal
ances in the county treasury, amount
ing to $465, 620.57. making available for
county requirements the gross sum OF
81, SIS, 6775S, of which large amount
| the taxpayers of the city of Newark
contribute in round numbers 60 per
cent, or a total of $3,079.94720.
The county budget for 1913 calls fol-

main CROSSROADS. Cooling-water
pumps, bilge pumps and u compressor
supplying air for the steering engine
are similarly driven. Air for fuel in
lection is furnished by three-stage
air compressor on the Reavell prin-
ciple, scientifically driven from the
crankshaft. An auxiliary air compress
sor of the same type is driven by a
separate ur-stroke-cycle engine.
The valve-gear is of the regular
Carols design, there being four scav-
enging valves, one fuel valve and
starting valve to each cylinder Re-
versing is effected by turning the
camshaft through an angle of 30
degrees.
At sea all auxiliary operations are
intended to be performed by oil en-
gines, compressed air or electricity,
but for use while IN port there is an
oil-fred steam boiler to take care of
the steering gear, the anchor hoist,
windlasses and pumps. While this
boiler is in service it also supplies
steam for heating. At sea heating is
provided for by small low-pressure
boiler using coke for fuel.-Power.

an increase over 1912 of the sum of
$244 1856. 80. This increase of proposed
county expenditure of nearly quar-
ter of a million of dollars needs care
fully to be looked into in the interests
of economy at least. While the in
creased appropriation required for the
city of Newark for 1918 is 1927,
making the county requirements over
the city requirements of Sly, 1868, or
nearly double that of the city.
These stat ements of facts and fig
| ures cannot be controverted or ex-
planned away by any sophistry, nor
can any political juggling with words
destroy their import-the present con-
troll of the finances of the county of
Essex has been, to use the mildest
term, liberal beyond reason.

per cent increase in the product.
What happensc The product made is
the same In both cases. The payroll
is $4,000 in each case, but it is not
necessary to build the addition, invest
in extra machinery, etc. As a result
the overhead expense is not increased
as much in this case, and this saving
reduces the cost of the product mate

Daywork is from % to so per cent
more expensive than piecework. Pre-
MUM piecework Is cheaper than reg

ployer and employee larger returns.
Often two men viii be failures on the
work assigned them, but if they eX-
change work each may become sue

on operations they are not fitted to
handle. The human factor must be
studied, his strong and weak points
noted The former must be encour-
aged and the latter corrected,-Amer-

Before the investigating committee
appointed by the Canadian govern
ment to inquire into the matter, the
consulting engineer of the bridge, an
expert in his profession, gave the fol-
| lowing testimony
"I believe If prompt action had been
ntaken to protect chord nine west from
| further detection, which could have
been done by the employment of three
| hours work and one hundred dollars
worth of timber and bolts, the defects
and deficiencies which we now recog-
nize in the compression chords AMI
members could, at later date, have
| been corrected, and the bridge could
| have been made perfectly safe and
sufficient for it's intended purpose"
| Here was a double crime; careless
ness or negligence on the part of the
constructing engineers or some or
those employed in building the bridge
! IN the first instance, which niaue the
collapse at all possible; in the second
place, criminal carelessness on the
| part of those responsible for the con-
| dition of the bridge, who might have
| prevented the fatal accident by the
exercise of little ordinary care and
| intelligence, the expenditure of a few
| hours work and q hundred dollars
worth of material!
How many serious accidents have
occurred because of lack of care in
| the casting of steel Orders and all
| sorts of iron building MATERIAL Even
before they are completed, buildings
often fall and bury the workmen I'M
| der the ruins, because somebody was
| dishonest-either employer or en-
ployee-and worked lies, receptions,
| into the building.
| Multitudes of people are hobbling
around on one leg, have lost an eye
| or an arm, or are otherwise manned.
because dishonest workmen wrought
deception into the articles they manu-
featured sighted their work, covered
up defects and weak places with
paint and varnish.
! How many have lost their lives be-
| cause of dishonest work, carelessness,
criminal numbering in railroad con-
| struetion? Think of the tragedies
caused by lies packed in car-wheels,
| locomotives, steamboat boilers and
engines; lies in defective rails, ties or
switches; lies in dishonest labor put
into manufactured material by work.

ness.

This question was put to me by
Colonel John Turner Wait, who at
that time represented the Eastern
Connecticut district in Congress, as
he had done for several terms before
and did for several terms after this
conversation took place.
Tt was in the summer of 1894, and at
q time when Colonel Wait was a
guest at my house, that he asked me
this question.
1 recalled the incident wildly,
although 1t had occurred twenty
years earlier. / said to Colonel Wait
that l remembered having thought
lessly asked him who Morrison r.
Waite was, and that in reply he said:
He is a great lawyer and he is my
first cousin once removed, although
he spells his name with a final e.
while l do not He was born, as /
was, at Lyme, Conn.,"
81 recall having said TO you
Colonel Wait continued, that the
nomination of my cousin as chief Jus
tice was a perfect surprise to me,
and that the offer of the appoint
ment by General Grant came as a
surprise to Justice Waite himself.
81 was not annoyed that you should
have asked me who Morrison r.
Waite was. That question was asked
by almost everybody In the United
States excepting the people of Ohio.
They knew him as a very able lawyer
and a man of very high personal
character. I knew him as a man who
had all these qualities and, in adj
dtion to that, a singularly modest
kindly and unassuming disposition.
IT was trying to think on the day
met you how President Grant hap
pened to select Judge Waite. I knew
that the President had made two
other appointments for that office
prior to the nomination of Judge
Waite. Both of these appointments
failed of confirmation.
Suddenly it occurred to me that Il
was probably due to the very import
| ant part which Judge Waite played
as one of the three counsel for thu
| United States before the arbitration
court at Geneva, Switzerland. which
was to pass on the claims OF tn
United States for damages from
Great Britain by reason of the havoc

Judge Thurman had long acuuaint-

Aside from being the largest motor
ship afloat, the Wotan is propelled by
the largest marine Diesel engine that

inders are supported separately by
columns but are grouped in pairs,
