come enthusiastic ;but even were it otherwise, it is well to remember that there are some things in the world that money cannot buy some happiness which come only to the man who can find pleasure in his daily tasks. There are not many
successful men who do not enjoy
their work, for nothing but keen pleasure can persuade a man to work
day and night. Love of money can scarcely be said to be the inspiring
idea in the brain of a millionaire
who works. What really keeps him at work day and night is the fascina
tion of the game in which he takes a daily part.
Be careful to make your start in
the right business. Sometimes one
can teach himself to enjoy almost
any business but that is an unnecessary hardship. It is much better to select the right one first.

THE MELTING POT AGAIN.
The Hammond Chamber of Commerce lately was asked to send a memorial to congress in which it goes on record as being opposed to the further restriction of immigration to the United States. The purpose of this action was to create a larger labor market in the Calumet region. The movement was fathered by a number of Hammond manufacturers who are finding it very difficult" to get enough laborers to do their work. ',
The opinion was expressed that
the imposition of educational requirements for admission to the United States would keep out of this : county the class of immigrants who are best suited for the kind of work that requires an excess of brawn rather than brain. The Hammond Chamber of Commerce, recognizing the importance of the question both locally and nationally, refused to go on record in favor of opening the flood gates at Ellis Island until it had made something of a study of the problem.
The immigration problem is something more than a question of supplying the manufacturers of the
country with an unlimited labor
market
The American nation is in the making. Five hundred years hence
historians will refer to this period of the development of the United Stales
as the ERA OF ASSIMILATION.
They will show how this country.
through a series of colonization projects was finally occupied principally by the various branches of the Anglo Saxon race; how it grew and prospered, built up its republican institutions and finally took on the character dignity of a nation. Then they will recount' the Invasion of millions of aliens. They wl'l 6how that the United States, in the
first years of this assimilative era, attracted a superior character of aliens to its shores; the Germans, fsorwegians, Danes, English, Iris;li and Scotch.
They will show that later the migrations of foreigners came from
southern Italy, Turkey and Hungary,
bringing millions of small staturcd men and women who were not the
intellectual and physical equals of those who had preceeded them. They will point to the invasion of the
United States by the Hungarians,
Poles, Slavs and Russians, people of better physique but a lighter grade of
Intelligence.
And in the hundreds of years that follow this notable invasion, made
possible by cheap travel, will follow
the great amalgamation process by which these races will finally become fused into a new racial and na
tional type; the real American as has so often been declared by THE
TIMES which confesses that racial
melting-pot fusion is one of its
hobbies.
Today we are, by our emigration
laws, determining what the future type of the American shall be. This
can be determined with scientific ac
curacy now.
Take, for illustration, fifty million
Anglo Saxons of the highest average
type, mix In twenty million Italians of the lower type, add to this five
million Turks, ten million Hungar
ians, ten million Poles, twenty mil
lion Russians, a few million people
of mixed races and the composite of
them all will be the future American.'
Take from each of these nations
their principal characteristics and
they will be sure to crop out In' th?
composite American. Just as the
English, Irish, Norwegian and Danish invasions made the American a tall, blue eyed, muscular man so
the invasion of the Italians will tend to make the type a shorter, darker complexioned dark-haired man.
When the United States was being invaded by the superior races from central Europe they were easily as
similated but it was more difficult ti amalgamate with the, Italian and
still more difficult to amalgamate
with the Turk.
The fact " should be remembered that when ever an inferor immigrant comes to American shores that It imposes upon the American people the obligation to raise that individual to the same standard of intelligence and physical perfection that ha3 been attained by the Anglo-Saxon through centuries of civilization. It dilutes the human solution by Just that much. There are three things that shouH be taken Into consideration in con
sidering the availability of the im
migrant as racial amalgam.
FIRST HIS PHYSICAL, MAKEUP
The problem of eugenics is involved
here.' Is he capable of reproducing a
higher grade of an animal than him
self.
SECONDLY, HIS MENTAL CA
PACITY. Just how much evolution
would be required, how many gen
erations would it take, to develop his
progeny , to .the high standard of the Anglo-Saxon race. THIRDLY, HIS RACIAL CHARACTERISTICS. We can not amalga-
SAD BUT TBUE. A carnival Is being held in Gary for
the benefit of the recent bribery case defendants. Unfortunately for the
ex-defendants somebody overlooked the advertising of the affair. No one knows about it and the ex-defendants will get now about as much
benefit financially as they would buying ten chances on a china plate to be raffled off at a bridge party.
THE CROPS. News from the southwest brings
the story that the grain yield is to be a big one this year. This will mean
a whole lot for the car shops and steel mills of the Calumet region and It will certainly add impetus to the
locomotive business.
Estimates place the number of car
required to haul the grain at 300,-
000.' Kansas alone will use 45,000
cars. To meet tne rortneoming ac
tivity all southwestern roads have
started to work their car shops day
an dnights and one road is having 50 locomotives built on hurry up orders. Every bushel of grain yielded by
the southwestern fields has a direct bearing in the smoke-laden Calumet valley. In Lake county proper the hay and oats crop will probably be
record-breakers but the corn is not so
promising.

THIS NEW DAY. Miss the way yesterday? Try again today.
If you failed yesterday" rotf tare a

Because
This Is a different world today from
yesterday altogether different When you woke up this morning you woke
up in a new world.
This morning? Why, this morning
the world has turned completely over,
And in turning over a whole lot of people and things were spilled com
pletely out. For Instance
Thousands of people have died dur
ing the past twenty-four hours. And, It will be long before the thousands
who have been born, during the twen
ty-four hours will be able to take the
Jobs of those who died. Which gives you a chance.
Get in. There are gaps in the line
of the living. Get in before somebody
picks up the dead man's gun and the
ranks close up again.
And, then, a lot of people have done what you felt like doing yesterday-
thrown up their hands, surrendered.
They are quitters. There always are quitters. Every time one of them steps out there it a
good chance for you to step in. Yesterday is ancient history. This is a new day today. Yesterday you felt discouraged. Things went against you. You fought with your back to the wall. And yonr heart misgave you. You thought you had failed. Well, you bada'tf You were Just merely being slowed up some. This morning you bad a new chance. The kaleidoscope had changed. There was a new point of view. You learned something yesterday. Use that knowledge today. It is your tryout. This is a rough but kind world. It is puttingyou to the crucial test. It is trying you as the furnace tries the gold. If yon will let it do so it will melt the dross out of you and leave th.e re8ned gold. Yesterday? The furnace seemed heated seven times its wont, but you are alive! The smelt of the fire may be on your garments, but this is another day and you are alive.
