TO TIE NEW YORK HERALD: The
impression given by Mr.. Keary in bis
article on railroad liberalization.
which appeared In your paper OF Feb
ruary tS. Is that electrihcation is SIM
ply a question OF substituting cleo
tricity for steam as a motive power.
Unfortunately there are various sys-
toms OF electrification which may be
adopted, but 1t Is safe 70 say that
there is only one system that is par
tcularly adapted TO the individual
conditions OF each railroad.
Speed, trailing load, gradients, &C.,
are variable factors in the problem OF
electrification. and systems affording a
solution OF the problem are as varied.
Furthermore, It is quite possible that
the system which provides a higher
efficiency In the actual physical oper-
alton OF the road may be tho least
economic as regards investment and
return thereon. After all is said and
done II Is ths actual financial aspect
OF the question that governs tho rail-
road corporations decision.
II Is true 10 q certain extent and
under certain conditions that the cleo
trio locomotive can haul heavier trains
at a higher speed than it's predecessor,
but the writer neglected to qualify his
statement. On long heavy grades the
advantages claimed for the electric
locomotive are apparent, but on trunk
line railroads. where the traffic is
mainly nonstop passenger traffic and
where grades are negligible fac
tor, the steam locomotive is not in
very much danger from its rival.
Under these conditions safety rather
than maximum tractive effort or sus-
tanned horsepower IS the governing
factor as regards the maximum speed
obtainable.
Regarding the relative size OF the
steam and electric locomotives the
writer claims that 5000 horsepower
represents the maximum capacity OF
the steam locomotive. There are In
actual operation to-day steam loco
motives with a maximum rating OF
slightly over 5000 horsepower. These
locomotives. being equipped with me-
chanical stoiSers, can maintain their
maximum tractive effort practically
continuously. and II is tractive effort
and ability to maintain II that de-
LeTIuln6 10 great ueSTeo Il0 CdpsI-
bilities OF the locomotive.
The period OF time over which the
electric locomotive can maintain its
maximum tractive effort Is limited by
the permissible rate OF overheating,
and this prohibits the electric loco
motive from exerting Its maximum
tractive effort continuously. In other
words. the statement that steam loco
motives have a maximum of about
5000 horsepower. whereas there are
a number OF electric locomotives IN
use having a capacity OF 1000 horse
power and over" Is merely relative
statement. indefinite in meaning and
not indicative OF existing conditions.
In comparing the relative merits Of
the steam and electric locomotives Mr..
Keary apparently fails TO consider the
fact that the steam locomotive Is in
reality a power house, transmission
system and motive power combined
Inasmuch as fuel economy Is the ques-
ton discussed Is II fair to compare the
steam locomotive with the electric

An Outdoor President.

The announcement that President
elect HARDING IS at the top OF his
form az golf indicates condition of
health which presages the possession
of store Of energy capable Of meet
ing liberal drafts which will be
made upon It during the next four
years
Senator HARDrNG Is not as strenu-
Gus In the application of his taste for
athletic pursuits as the late THEo-
DoRE RoosEvErT, who was often called
a "steam engine In boots" But he has
long been an outdoor man, and his
example will no. doubt have the effect
Of renewing the popularity Of ath-
letics with those men IN the public
life OF Washington who are wont to
take 1t easy after reaching period
where tennis and other games Of like
strenuosity make too great call on
their hearts.
For all such golf Is good game.
but Is It the best exercise for the
man, say past fifty, who wants to
keep his waist line and enjoy that
greatest Of all sensations--being phys
ically fit? Golf of course has Its
devotees by the hundreds Of thou
sands, but what Of that great army
Of the lovers of outdoors which gets
its health and pleasure at the same
time through the horse? 1t was q
wise old English physician who long
ago remarked that there was nothing
so good for the inside of man as the
outside of horse. Horseback riding
agitates the liver and does q lot OF
other helpful things for those Of sed-
entary habits and 1t brings into play
muscles not employed by golf or any
other exercise except swimming,
which comes pretty near to being the
greatest Of all exercises for the main
tenance Of perfect health.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT was an ardent
horseman aud he rode as no did
everything else-with a tempestuous
quality when there was chance of
q contest in the air. He regarded the
hours spent on horseback in the West,
whittier he went as a youth in
search of health, as the chief contrib
uting influence In building q body
which was noted for its tireless rug
gedness. President WILSON knew lit
tie OF horses when he went to Wash
ington, but under the tutelage of his
physician, Read Admiral Cary Z.
GRAysoN, who has long been a great
lover OF the horse and owns and
breeds thoroughbreds, he became a
fairly good equestrian. He rode
daily up to the time OF his going
abroad a three-quarter bred chest
nut geldlng named Democrat and told
his friends that he gained lot of en-
joyment and health from IL.
Ohio has long been noted for the
quality OF It's horses, both thorough
breds and standard breds, and per
haps Senator HARDINe will display a
new accomplishment when he realizes
how many delightful bride paths
there are In and around the ca apital.
He will find the horse an agreeable
companion and contributor to his
health quite the equal Of golf or any
other recreation.

A Situation That Calls for Deep
Thought and Wise
Consideration.

~OkNotaCA &6SAAs
wisdom, very great wisdom, must
be exercised IN the matter OF m
aemnity demands as well as in any
other phase Of International states
manship.
II Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE and the others
OF the allied Premiers who think as
he thinks and as he demands In the
matter or the German indemnity are
certain that these demands do not go
beyond the point Of safety, then there
can be no just and honest opposition
to his and to their attitude.
America in spirit and IN heart
wishes 60 SEQ the German people make
tho fullest measure OF reparations
they can make without breaking I'M
der the weight Of the burden. This
would come within the lines OF safety
and should make for peace and inter
national concord. But 10 make de-
mands on the vancuished that would
crush them alike IN spirit and in body
would make them vassals 20 the VIC
tors or drive them with bitterness in
their hearts into an alliance with
other nations.
It is a psychological, an economic
and a financial question as TO Just
where the line Of safety lies. And
Inasmuch as this is Of doubtful
determination at best--probably be-
yond any human mind to fathom with
absolute accuracy-it would seem that
the wise thing IN this situation Is to
Keep SO surely within the realm Of
safety as to be dead safe.
To take chances on pushing The de
nands to the very limit within this
tine Of safety is to take chances on
going beyond this line OF safety-per
haps very far beyond II. And taking
such chances IS gambling with the
peace Of the world.
THE NEW YORK HERALD does not
know and does not pretend 10 know
how much indemnity the German
people are capable Of paying. 1t is
ia thorough accord with the burden
of American sentiment thar Germany
should pay an indemnity up to her
capacity to pay, whatever that be.
Ia the present situation account
must be taken Of Germany's relation
20 Russia, with her enormous expanse
" country, her vast natural resources
and mighty population. Not to take
this into account and not to weigh the
dangers from Russo German aIli-
ance Is to formulate demands without
consideration Of the rest Of the world
10 tho matter OF world peace. So this
question Of indemnity reaches very
far--fsr beyond the borders OF the
nations that would be the recipients
Of indemnity payments.
There Is one phase Of tho indemnity,
however, as fixed recently by the
allied Premlers Ia Paris that TnE

thing about That is the demand that
Germany put tho equivalent Of a Il
per cent. export duty on all her for

years, and pay tho proceeds over TO the

EASTERN DEFEATS
SUE BENNETT, 24-18

The Eastern goal tOSsCrs III u
last and snappy clash with Sue
Bennett last Saturday evening.
succeeded in shaking off the jinN
that has so pcrsistcntly been fol
lowing the team ever since the
opening game OF the season. De
spite the driving snow storm a
large crowd OF Normal students
were on hand to lend inspiration
and encouragement to the wear
crs Of the Eastern cOlOrs.
1t is generally conceded that
the Eastern-Suc Bennett game
proved the thriller Of the season.
The first half was conspicuous for
the close guarding Of both teams.
The local team succeeded i'll sCor-
ing II points while their oppon-
cnts tailed 10. The distribution
OF scores were as follows: Malloy
4: Robbins 2; McCubbins 2; Fox
2 from free throw. For the Wis
itors: Hamm 4: Perry 2: Wilson
=, and Williams 2.
The second hall revealed Il type
Of basket ball rarely ever seen
only i'll University and scmi-pro-
fcssional circles. From the toss
Of the ball to the sounding Of The
timekccpcrs whistle, the closing
session was one continuous thrill.
Time after time Sue Bennett cv-
cned up the score only to have
Eastern go them one. better. Near
the close of the game Robbins
and MCCubblns scored two goals
in rapid succession and the shock
proved too great for Sue Bennett.
The spectators and rooters went
wild with excitement and cnthus-
iasm. 1t is rllmorcd that more
than one Normalitc found it ne
ccssary to brave the storm bare
headed after the close Of the fra
cas-. Whether these lucklcss i'll
dividuals sacrificed their head
dress on the altar of the goddess
Of Luck or whether they merely
desire dto cool their fcvcred brain
is not for the writer to say. But
this h docs know. that when an
Eastern team shows the fight and
determination displayed in the
last game. it can be assured Of d
warm spot in the heart Of every
fellow student.

half for Eastern: Malloy 2 points
