The report to the effect that Congressman Mann of Illinois proposes to introduce a bill providing for the building of a turning basin at 116th street in! the Calumet river, has raised the question as to whether this would have any effect on the improvements contemplated and under way in Lake George. The idea being ultimately to connect Lake George with the Calumet river, thereby providing a through channel Inland from Indiana Harbor to the South Chicago harbor, It was suggested that if the government build a turning basin at the point designated , .by Congressman Mann, it would be averse to doing anything in connection with a similar improvement in Lake George. This being the case it was suggested that the property tributary to the Indiana Harbor canal, would be the sufferer. As a matter of fact the proposed turning basin at 116th street has no bearing whatever on the local situation. What has been termed the Lake George turning basin 13 being put in at private expense, the East Chicago company bearing the cost of the improvement! It is five or six miles from the point in the Calumet river proposed for a turning basin by fi Sim . vuii&ir;iaiiiai mann ana even were the lake und river connected by an artificial' water-way, which It. is im

probable will be the case in many a long year, far from being too c1okj together, it is quite likely other turnJng basins would be built between the . one proposed by Congressman Mann and ehat Lake George.

It takes only seven years to send a girl from the toD to th hnt toboggan slide of unlawful pleasure and the bottom Is In th ffrav.

The Chicago ' naners nf -j,llv1,.ru aKen l that the per-

carried.this paragraph: v ,,( I - - - - i "A bureau to make possible the identification of unidentified bodies is to be established In the Coroner's office. Photographs, full face and in profile, and data of measurements and distinctive markings on the dead will be kept on file so that from a description of the decedent clerks will be able readily to turn to the photograph. A recent proposal by Coroner Hoffman for a law providing that an extra man accompany every funeral pfocession and act as a guard at unprotected railroad crossings will be discussed at a meeting of undertakers January 15 in the Masonic Temple." ' i un uecember 20 the Associated Press carried the following Minne apolis dispatch: "By identifying a photograph taken twenty-five years ago Mrs. Kdtnund J. LonKjear, wife of a mining contractor here, has learned that her brother, John Patton, who disappeared then, was drowned in the wreck of the City of Vernon on the west shoit of Lake Michigan. Six bodies from the wreck had come ashore near Two Harbors and had been photographed before burial." ' . Here is demonstrated the efficacy of the photography system of identification. Every year dozens of dead bodies, the identity unknown, are buried in Lake county. Why not photograph bodies in this county?

BY the way what has become oftne democrats are.v

the old-fashioned man who insisted on standing at Armageddon? DOUBTLESS the railroad men who smuggled Bill Rockefeller through Lake County are laughing in their sleeves at the reports of his invalidism. A LEGISLATIVE SUGGESTION. The legislature which convenes this week will undoubtedly find occasion to tinker the laws pertaining to the conduct of county affairs. If any Improvements along this line are to be made, it would be well to include a modification of that section, which provides for some evidence of good faith in submitting bids on contracts. The present law requires only, that a bid be accompanied by a bond. Now the weakness of a bond is this: it may endanger innocent parties, particularly if the bondsmen are private parties who act as sureties a3 a matter of friendship to the bidder and rely on his word as to the reasonableness of his bid, instead of making an investigation for themselves; if the bond is furnished by a surety company, there is always the post:- J

bility, ina case where a company or

its agent is approached by competing Diaaers, that one or the other may get tne benefit of inside information which the others had tp submit in ineir application. Th mmr.anv ,.rits agent would be in a position of knowing in advance what figures its clients will (submit. Under such cir cumstances it would be possible for a favorite client to get his competitor's. In pointing out these posibilitias with reference to surety companies, there is no intention of conveying even a bint that any of the companies or their agents doing business in Lake County had been guilty of such con duct point out as a possibility. The Situatl6n in regard to nrivnt hnnHa. i ' - " men has not always been unclouded. for even within the pas year bonds men are saia to have been 'on the anxious seat, waiting to see whether the contractor whom they secured was able to make good.

Which are jou an optimist, a elmist or a meliorist? pesThe optimist believes in the ultimate outcome of good. Which is a reasonable and satisfying belief. Bnt Many optimists go further and try to make themselves and their fellows believe that all is right with the world. This sort of optimist nsk you to smile because there ia nothing anywhere to be miserable about Which is mere soothing Birnp. And the pessimist ? The pessimist sees only the seamy side. He refuses to smile at all. He is like the old woman who always felt bad when she felt good for fear she might feel bad. In his view everything Is going to the eternal bowwows. ' Now There is a sort of honest pessimism that is more or less worthy of praise. It is the pessimism thnt is deeply con-1 cernea about the real evil that is lu the I world and cries out against It He who notes the wrong conditions and tries to wake up his fellows to a realization of these conditions is if I may ose the term -a good kind of pessimist However a between the optimist who bids you smile and smile, regardless of what may be. and the pessimist who scowls and scolds because all things are bad. what view shall we take? Why not ben meliorist? . The meliorist says to the optimist. "All things are not good." He says to the pessimist. "All things are not bad." . Says the meliorist: 'Things are good, bad and Indifferent Let as not deceive' ourselves. Let us face things as they are. And, above all," Kaya the meliorist "Let us help to make things betterr It Is easy to sit down and smile and declare that all's well with the world. Also it is easy to find fault with all things and to declare that tendencies are toward evil, and evil only. The optimist may smile to his heart's content and get nowhere. The pessimist may glower and chide to his heart's content and effect nothing. But the meliorist does not smile when there is nothing to smi!e about, nor does he scold when scolding will do no good. He puts his shoulder to the wheel and helps! Why not be a meliorist 2
