NOW THAT THE OFFICIALS OF the Monon road have become Interested In the project to beautify their right of way In Hammond, It Is time for the business men of the city to get busy. The Nickel Plate railroad and the Erie officials have both signified their Intention of making a park of their rights of ways in the center of the city, but the trouble Is that it would be expensive for any of them to hire a man for the purpose of maintaining It, and so far they have not been able to get to-, gether. , The time is opportune for a stroke of diplomacy that will do more to give the hundreds of passengers,, who are in transit through Hammond a good impression of the city than anything else that could be done. If the city engineer will estimate the cost of fencing this right of way In a manner similar to that adopted by the Michigan Central railroad, and the cost of starting a lawn In this part of the city and will then arrange a conference of the officials of the three roads. It Is possible that a plan may be devised for the joint maintenance of park when it Is completed. The city should encourage the project by making a donation of the sprinkling water and before fall Hammond will look like another city. It will require a great deal of energy and some decisive licks just at this time, but It Is an opportunity that should not be lost. The effect of the whole working out of the plan would be a general cleanIng up,tn tWS'port'JOix of the city and it should be remembered that every time a beautified spot is added to those which the city already has, it makes the man who Is neglecting his front yard and his back yard just that much more ashamed of himself. The only way to become inocculated with the city beautiful idea is to let the eye come in contact with a beautified portion of the city. Teach the people to keep their eyes peeled for beauty spots. It Is human nature to admire them and the effect Is to create others. '

The optimistic spirit, tie bright "outlook, are absolute essentials toward successful living. Depression and gloom never won a victory of 'Any kind. Every effort to organize the "smile" clurA and "sunshine" clubs, bo popularjust now, ought to be encouraged. "Especially does the business world Uheed the helpful Influence of the opti mistic spirit Just now the country, still feels the effect of the panic of last fall. It Is also "presidential year." Business men generally expect duU conditions until after the presidential election ajpd usually get what they eypect. It is therefore the more necessary that people should be stimulated by hopefulness. They should be shown the bright side of things, ranlcs are largely psychological. Every so often people begin to expect and talk about the coming of a finan cial depression. The expectation brings about the reality. Money gets scarce. Capital begins to hedge. Men are out of employment. People economize. The "hard times" are on. When the historian comes to Investigate the period be finds the panic was caused by fear. The scare originated In the discouraging remarks of some body supposed to know. Some one high np put the "suggestion" Into the people's minds. The people were hypnotized. Take the present year. It Is the popular belief and expression that a presidential year must necessarily be a slow year in commercial circles. Because of that general belief this year Is likely to be a dull year In business. It requires mora .than ordinary effort on the part of the hopeful and irrepressible optimists to change such a settled belief. Confidence is the basis of all prosperity. If the country gets hopeful inspiration from the leaders of public opinion, it can accomplish much despite pessimistic tendencies. Every one can do something toward creating an atmosphere of cheerfulness. Persistent hopefulness will dc 1L Smile! Help your community by Inspiration to its best effort. Smile! Help your neighbor.

"Occasionally one will hear the remark: 'I wish I was out of this town,' and then one feels like saying: 'I wish you were, for a man who stands on the street corner, chewing and spitting, telling obscene stories, cursing the town, finding fault with hl3 grandmother because she was a woman, claiming that the merchants are a lot of thieves, that the lawyers and newspaper men would skin a man to a finish, and a whole lot more, is a nuisance and an abomination. Any town pestered with such worthies would be Justified in exercising cowhide authority on tho bosom of their pants. No one Is obliged to live where he la not suited. If one hasn't any encouraging word for the business enterprise and Institution of his town, he should shut up and go way back and sit down. If things don't suit you, move to where they will. A growler and a sorehead In a town is an enterprise killeer every time. It would pay a town to donate him $5 and tell him to move."
