We gauge our desires not by our bodily demands, but by what neighbors think. We struggle to gain admiration for our ability to possess; and happiness files out at the window while care comes in at the door. This tendency is not only modern Always we have had ou"r Alexanders who have wept for other worlds to conquer. Never have we lacked our Davids who would sacrifice lives and honor to possess the ewe lamb of another while their own herds covered the hilltops. - , The Ahab, who cannot sleep while Naboth lives, can be found in every spot where vineyards grow, and wheat aad sugar cane. Never have there been tanks or treasuries too full for more, nor does the appetite sated lessen the desire for some untried delicacy. we snail And upon every side of us, in everyday life, the King Charles and the King Louis of the village or the street, who must ' have more when he is glutted with plenty. Tha unnecessary suit of clothes, the Jardiniere with . the . dead fern, the germ-laden window curtain and the unread shelf of expensive books. must forever fill our lives with the labor of living, , because we do not know the meaning of the word enough. THE THIRD-TERM AMBITION NEVER DIES. Always 100,000 slaves must offer up their lives to make Cheops bigger than Cephren. Forever we must build, secure and throw away , in order that those be neath may see that we have enough to throw away. Find the man whom you envy be yond description for the thousands he has .and you will discover he is ' restless with the desire for the mil lions of another. To find greater happiness than you possess, you must visit the homes of those who have less wealth. It is always the woman who has three diamond brooches who wants another most and ever we read that the wrecker of a bank or a railroad was a Money King, who already had more than enough. To be unhappy Is the easiest thin? in the world. Just fasten your mind on something you can't get. Yet to be happy is nearly as easy, once you learn the trick. Think of what you have and try to make that do. EDITORIAL UPS AND DOWNS. Occasionally in our thorny edi toriai career we come across a rose which drives dull care away anJ . causes us to whistle and sing and gambol about' like a frisky young porker in a turnip patch, so exuber ating is our joy. The past week has been one of almost perpetual happi ness to tfs. Last Friday Miss Ella

A Chicago company is to locate an amusement park at Miller beach and is to run daily excursions from the big city to the beach, with Indiana Harbor as a stopping point. No sooner were its plans announced than horde of disgruntled speculators backed up by a Gary newspaper began to knock the enterprise. One of the promoters was called a "Rufus Wallingford" despite the fact that no one was asked to buy of the stock or contribute money. Efforts were then made, but without success, to enlist the services of the Gary Com mercial club In the campaign of knocking. At the present time Waukegan is working hard to get a Coney Island amusement park located on its beach and there isn't a city or town along Lake Michigan that wouldn't be glad to have a moneyringing amusement park on , , its beach. Instead of seeking to drive away an amusement park they would be out to welcome it with bonuses and every possible assistance. So far the men who are backing the amusement park scheme at Miller have-Jjothered nobody, they have not palmed off any stock upon the natives, and they have no subdivisions to boom. If their efforts to locate a big park and excursion point at Mil ler are successful it will be a fine thing for the merchants of that town and the rest of the county as well. Should the plan be killed off through the refusal of outside interests to sink money into the venture because of the hostile- efforts of a certain clique and through the- dog-in-the-manger attitude assumed toward every new project that It does not have a hand in, It will be the coun ty's loss. In the meantime if the park promoters mean business time will tell and If they do not one will be the loser. Since they are trying to do some thing of benefit It Is not pretty sound to hear the crash of the knocks. Before Gary ever gets ahead in some respects it will have to put the quietus upon the knockers. And, while it has taken no action, the Gary Commercial Club, which is engaged in a praiseworthy scheme of having a public park upon the lake front, ought to give Its assistance to the amusement park, for the two would certainly be a fine thing. At the present time Gary through its Commercial Club is making a plea for outside capital to come in and build homes and the way attempts are being made to discredit the efforts of those who are trying to bring the new amusement enterprise to the city doors does not make an edifying picture for moneyed men, who would invest capital here. GET A CITY PLAN. The need i3 felt every day for a definite city plan which has received the approval of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce and which will be regarded as a guide for future city development. This plan will require several years for its working out but It will do more towards making Hammoni a city worth while than anything that could be done. In the working out of such a plan the manufacturing district could be outlined. People ordinarily use very much judgement in such matters. For illustration: it is not at nil

improbable that the owners of the

land across the Indiana-Illinois state line, in Illinois would have sold it to any kind of a manufacturing concern that chose to locate there it they had been offered the price. Pub lic spirited citizens prevented this and purchased it for country club purposes. The point is that residences should not invade the factory district any more than factories should invade the residential district. These prob lems should be taken up and studied and the result would be the exercise of more intelligence in city building: It is advisable that the question of location of parks and the construc tion of inter-city boulevards should be taken up intelligently. This could all be worked out by an intelli gent plan commission. SOME CLASSY JOURNALISM. Anderson Is bragging because she has 1,500 people who wash their feet every day. Our idea of enterprising journalism is to send around re porters to ask people whether they washed their feet or not that day. What next? . THE Blairstown Herald tells of one Leeper McCarty who took a double barrelled egg, one shell inside another, to the Herald office. Leeper says he considers this an omen of i great prosperity and believes it means Bryan will be the next Presi dent. Kansas City Times. That's what a good many are saying, but they are not looking at their eggs. IN all this political . excitement everybody has forgotten to predict the end of the world. Poughkeepsie Star. Just wait till the Lafayette Courier and Gary Tribune men get back from the convention. GERMAN professor says there are no such things as straight legs. Well we know some men who can't brag of much curve on theirs so we do not know what the professor would call them. THEY don't call them plumbers in Canada. Just say sanitary engi neers. Feel sorry for Canadians if their prices correspond to the name. V THE report that Senator W. H. Gostlin of Hammond is having a new vest made In order to stampede the convention is reported untrue. IF some of these politicians had a keener developed sense of humor they would be better able to take things as they come. FISHING is reported good at the Kankakee river, but fishing stories are reported something fierce for this time of the year. CROKER denies that he is to adopt the bewchus Annette Kellerman. Well he might do worse now that he Is out of politics. SO far nothing In tne shape or a startling interview has come out of Gary anent the Atlantic City graft ing scandal. TAILOR has discovered that automobiling enlarges the chest Certainly doesn't enlarge the pants pocket any. NAT Goodwin has tried to square himself with the ladies by rescuing a girl from drowning. Go to it Gnat! TEXAS man has started a snake farm. How would you like to make a living raising snakes? PROBABLY advisable for you to hold on to your hats these days when you visit Chicago. THE ice bill has an Inclination to mount a little higher .perhaps you have noted. HAVE you figured up your flyswatting average yet? Neither have we. . THE colonel must be lapping up a lot of milk these days. HEAR D BT RUBE FIFTEEN to nothing Gary-Crown Point score. Now what was that we heard about Crown Point carting awajr the pennant?

Their ef forts to attract attention will have no effect during the Taft-Teddy mix-up. SOUTH BEND wants to abolish the free lunches In the beer depots. And then romance will be all shot to pieces at S. B. , THERE are several divorce opinions as to when a woman Is In her glory. But the time when she reaches 45 or 60 is a new grandmother, and is called upon to give advice as to when Is the prop er time to begin feeding baby a little bread dipped in gravy.

SEEING that Mayor Knotts and the Gary democrats are to go en masse to Baltimore to root for Governor Harmon maybe Governor Marshall feela pretty bad about It, and II that he had It to do over again he'd never have taken a hand in the Gary bribery cases. GULLIVER is on the warpath, watch out: "The Tribune intends to Illustrate from time to time, even If the sensibilities of some may be hurt in the telling thereof." Referring to why there aren't more homes in Gary than there are. -- .; - ,,-j'tvn LORD KITCHENER says that there isn't a poor man fn -Egypt but then you'll recall that they don't have any street or sewer assessments to pay along the banks of the Nile. MAYOR THOMPSON of Detroit, his wife and three daughters, were In Sauth Chicago for about fifteen minutes Wed nesday afternoon, and there were not more than a dozen people who knew it. The mayor' visit was not heralded and about the only person with whom he carried on any extended conversation was Folieeman Herbert Moss of the South Chicago atation South Chi cago Calumet. Mercy! If South Chicago gets so ex- j cited over a Detroit mayor the town surely would have had to order a car load of Lydia pinkham'e nerve restorer If any of our Lake county burgomasters landed over there. THE only thing that Tim Englehart has against T. R. Is the lack of busi ness sense he showed when he went clear to Africa to hunt lions when he could have found all of the blind tig ers he wanted at large in Gary and they say that they are even tame enough now that you can find them around the court house square In Crown Point. OUR special correspondent, Hennery Coldbottle, has returned from the democratic editorial convention at Fort Wayne, where he found the proceeding far from being dry. Berghoff and Centllivre breweries that place are among the 'best he has ever seen. In a day or so Hennery . will go to Chicago to cover then ational convention.
