billiards and even ounces. It's the old
story of the gamblers money. Come
easy,- go easy
We have in mind schoolmate who
was regarded by all of us as the most
promising member of the class. He
was handsome, stylish, a regular
heart-smasher with the ladies, quick
at his studies and of pleasant and
easy-going disposition. In comparison
with those about him he was superior
mentally, so that 1t seemed unneces-
sary for him to put forth any effort
whatever in the accomplishment of
things.
The result was natural
He DIDN'T put forth an effort what
ever in the accomplishment of things.
Neither his mind nor his body re-
ceived any development, and he is to-
day nonentity. bis brilliance gone,
his brain undeveloped, and his power
of determination absolutely lacking
A thousand such brains as his could
be put in peanut, and they would
still have as much room as bullfroe
in the Pacific ocean.
His case is by no means a singular
one. We have all observed dozens

TRACTION SUGGESTIONS.

In considering the traction situation
in North township there are two
propositions which are likely to the
bones of contention between the two
lines that are reaching out for addi-
tional rights in this locality.
In view of the fact that the boards
of public works and city councils Of
two cities will have to pass on each
of these franchises, namely. the city
officials of East Chicago and Ham.
mond. the discussion of these propo-
sitions is timely and THE TIMES
suggests that in the interests of a
satisfactory solution of the traction
problem that they be made matter
of public policy These propositions
are:
PROPOSITION "A''-That the cit,
officials of both cities look with dis
favor upon the franchise Of any com

Let there be no further apprehension

rtory.
If the city officials of either city at
tempts to compel both lines to ac-
cept a common franchise over any par
ticular street or attempt to coerce
them into giving up any of the rights
they now have, no matter how mani
testify unfair it is for them to have these
rights. it will precipitate deadlock
that will tie up the traction situa-
ton in North township for five years.
II old administrations, that of A. F.
Knots in Hammond for instance.
have made fatal mistakes in tying up
certain streets in Hammond for the
exclusive benefit OF the local line,
this fact must be overlooked for the
sake of the more important matter
of insuring the building of the ex-
tensions that are so badly needed for
the development of the district
Both the Hammond & East Chicago
line and the Gary & Interurban line
are offenders against proposition "a !,
which is a manifestly fair require
ment
The Hammond, Whiting & East
Chicago line seeks a franchise on
State street in Hammond to Column
bia avenue, thence on Columbia ave-
ME to Kane avenue, thence along the
north side of the Nickle plate tracks
to Forsythe avenue, under the Glib
son hump subway to One Hundred
and Fifty-frst street to Kennedy ave
nue., thence east ON Kennedy avenue
| to One Hundred and Forty-ninth
street, thence in westerly direction
to Parrish avenue and north to Indi
ana Harbor.
| Should not the Green line exclude
from the rights OF Columbia avenue
any street railway company from run
lining the fun length of this street
should it so desire? Shouldn't it also
lbe excluded from Kennedy avenue
which the Gary & Interurban wants
and forced to take Melville avenue in
stead?
The Gary & Interurban line seeks
Ito extend it's line north from its maiI
dred and Fifty-first street. thence il
an easterIy direction on One Hundre,
and Fifty-first street. to Parrish avenu'
and northward on Parrish avenue t,
Indiana Harbor
Now it is plain that the logical thinl
for the Gary & Interurban line to d.
lis to continue northward on Kennel
avenue to Indiana Harbor and it
lalso apparent that the logical thin
for the Green line TO continue in a
Ieasteriy direction on One Hundred an
IFifty-first street to Parrish avenue an
thence to Indiana Harbor.
The attempt of the Gary & Intel
urban line to use One Hundred an
Fifty-first street and Parrish avenue
when it already occupies a principe
north and south street, is palpably a
effort to exclude the Hammond, Viii
ling & East Chicago line from this te
lritory.
The promoters of these traction line
should understand that while the pul
lie is willing to grant them the fra
lchises to make needed extensions tn;
lit will not tie up through streets whe
the sole motive is to exclude comp
Itition.
