street by shouldering the cost of
widening it the county commissioners
put through measures that will re-
suit in paving the street through the
lake
An no one can charge these COM
missioners with extravaganza for
each instance the improvements have
been badly needed Some of the
county commissioners are in fact
showing their conservatism by call
ing a halt on the One Hundred and
Forty-first and the One Hundred and
Fifty-first street bridges on the
theory that they are not so badly
needed as some other county improve
ments.
In the meantime Crown Point, the
county seat, has been getting its
share. The new county infirmary is
to cost an enormous sum and the COM
missioners have purchased additional
land for the fair grounds
The development of the Calumet
region, the building of roads. bridges
and culverts may be a costly thing
but it facilitates the growth of its
cities and in the end will pay for
itself several times over.

western pictures. Some of them are
interesting no doubt, as movies" go,
and to the mature well balanced
mind. they serve their purpose, that
of giving entertainment.
But in the young romantic school
boy they implant a wrong ideal He
ses the hero in predicament or in
an argument, and instead of con
trolling his passions and temper. and
acting with patience and forbearance
he reaches TO ribs gun. The play, ac-
cording to the censors is justified be-
cause the villain is baffled--by means
of gun.
What is the effect upon the i'm
mature mind. Instead of taking
home the moral the gun is the big
feature to him If the seed takes
root we hear about it later in the
police court.
The owner of the movie who be-
lieves he owes a duty to society will
either restrict admission to his gun
toting plays to adults, or limit their
number.

KEEPS PACE WITH PROGRESS.

The people of Lake County have no
complaint to make of their county
commissioners. These three men
order nearly a million dollars worth
of improvements every year and
spend the money as efficiently as the
board of directors of a railroad would
do.
There is not even a vestige of the
parsimony that existed when the
south end of the county dominated
both the board of commissioners and
the county council and the extraction
of money for north end improvements
was anything but painless.
The board, since Matt Browns con-
nection with it, and he has the long
est record of service, has put in more
| improvements in Lake County than
all of the other boards in the history
of the county.
When ever community needed
anything to further it's growth the
county has been on the job and has
provided it. For instance when Gary
adopted that splendid project OF
building Broadway, it's Appian Way
! through to the country districts tC
the south; the county commissioners
did their share and splendid road
way and concrete bridge are the re-
suit
When East Chicago had located tn;
Baldwin Locomotive Works and Tho
Gogebic Iron company had located il
Hammond it became apparent that +:
bridge would have to be built owe
the canal at Forsythe avenue.
, In spite of the fact that the boart
had previously ordered bridges q

{ Canal street and at a number of othe
places in the county the member

spend for bridges.

LEARN TO LOVE YOUR TASK.

Love of work is characteristic of
civilization. The savage does not re-
joice at task, and the Indian of
James Fenimore Cooper's time was
not captain of industry. The noble
red men could not exult without the
aid of tomahawk and a scalp.
The desire to be useful is dis
tinguishing feature of human intelli-
gence. The horse is taught to labor
under the lash, and it is the twisting
of a cruel bit that keeps the
Percheron in the path of duty. The
COW does not give milk as poetic
tribute of love to mankind: nor are
dumb beasts swayed either by re-
ligion or natural love of work when
they render service to man.
Love of work separates human
from animal intelligence.
The child becomes man when he
| begins to love work. Natural chill
| dren love play only, not work, Rolla s
| father to the contrary notwithstand-
ing; and a real keen affection for
work is the almost unvarying mark
that distinguishes the successful from
the unsung in every line of business
or art.
! The man whose eve is focused upon
/ the heights of attainment, feeds on
work He devours it with q glad cry
and calls for. more. He does it better
because he loves it; and he loves il
! because he does it better.
1t is necessary for the average mar
to work eight hours day for 80 tt
so years.
i 1t is possible to learn to enjoy worl
! just as it is possible to cultivate ;
taste for olives-even If you don

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ?

Many interesting books have been
written nthe subject of what would
happen if everybody told the truth to
everybody else
1t is usually shown in these books
that the man who answers every
question with absolute truth makes
five hundred enemies a day, is de-
serted by his wife and children, and
lands in jail before night
For when a woman asks you
whether she is pretty or not, what
are you to say? We all lie, if neces-
sary.
An equally interesting speculation
is What would happen If everybody
told, the truth to himself9"
If lying to other people were our
only sin we would get along fairly
well, but the Utmost fact remains
that there is not one person ina
thousand who tells the truth to him
self. Even on the simple a subject
as weight and height there ane.ssa,..
enormous number of people ho de-
ceive themselves
To begin at home. YOU, haven't
stood on scale for fifteen years
without attempting to fudge on the
weight, nor have you ever had your.
self measured for height without
stretching your neck to the utmost
limit in trying to make the top Of
your head stand up another quarter
of an inch. And if we deceive our
selves in these simple little every da,
matters, how much more tremendous
lly do we defraud our intelligenc,
when more important subjects are I'll
for consideration.
War, for instance. To take hu
man life wholesale is no more justi
, fable than to take it by retail; We
we fight with a foreign nation 70
possession of an island thousands O
miles away. to accommodate some o
our esteemed commercial interests.
Nothing is more simple than tn
proposition that man is only en-
titled to what he labors for; yet TO
hundreds of years there have bee
; untold poverty and misery in tn
: world because of great volumes c
laws defending the proposition tina
some people are entitled to what the
did not earn.
In religious, political, and persona
:, life, nearly every man lies constant

: The greatest resolve that any youn
= person can make, the highest amb
ton he can have, is to face the trut
unf1inchingly, find out where he

GUNS AND MOVIES,

Laws are in force everywhere to
squelch the gun toter and gun play,
and yet both are permitted to run
rampant daily not in actual life, but
on the moving picture screen.
The letter of the law is not being
violated in this but the letter is never
far reaching as the moral effect, and
the moving picture gun toter is a
case in point.
This applies directly to most of our

An echo often have our singers caught
And they that bend above the sad
dened strings;
One hue of all the hundreds on her
Our painters render. and our men of
thought
In realms mysterious her face have
sought
And glimpsed its marvel in elusive
things;
Her shadow gathers and her frng-
rance clings
To all the loneliness that man has
wrought.
The wind of lonely places Is her wine.
