A DAY OF NEW HOPE. As an event in the Christianity of humanity, Easter, not sq much unlike the Christmas season which cornes a few months before, is a great day of hope and new life. And Easter has the additional charm of being seasonable. The enthusiasm of devotees of the Easter bonnet and other finery is contagious; its impulse to exult in the adveniJof a new order is irresistable to humankind. , Easter symbolizes the triumph of the spirit over the body. And so it is in the growing world of vegetation. Obstrusion of selfishness, feverish' materialism and unseemly display are not t o be sanctioned at the expense of the heart and soul of humanity, but as an annual reminder of the one great fundamental truth it is the most significant of all days. To the thoughtf ul Easter is proof unbounded of hope inexhaustible, of life eternal, of promises that will be fulfilled. It is a day without parallel. With the sublime figure of the resurrection before him no man need despair. It makes the believer see his future with a confidence rooted in firm faith and guided by the event which gave the world a new chart of life.
THE RILEY HOSPITAL. Enthusiastic endorsement was given the proposed James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Hospital for Children at the meeting held in Indianapolis Thursday. Secretary of Labor Davis spoke inn behalf of the nation and also as a former Hoosier who knew Riley and loved him. Governor McCray pledged the heartiest cooperation in the coming. campaign to raise endowment that will enable the hospital to be of
the greatest service. Similar promises of help were forthcoming from every speaker. Thtf campaign is now under way and its leaders are confident of its ultimate success. The Riley Hospital will be a state institution. Back of it is that thought that if the Hoosier Poet -were alive today and could be consulted as to the way he would like to be remembered in year's to come he would say that whatever was done for the children of Indiana would satisfy him. He wrote not only of but for children. Childless though he was he thought of all the little boys and girls in Hoosferdom as being mmebers of his own family. To them their childish ways, their hopes and fears were his. Their happiness gave him joy and he chronicled it. Their sadness brought him sorrow. ' Riley's friends . considered various ways whereby an everlasting tribute could be paid him. They mightlrear a shaft of granite that would attract the eye; they might throw open a playground somewhere f o the happy children who
could use it. But out of their conferences came a greater plan-r-the thought of placing at the disposal of air unfortunate children in the state
a hospital for them alone. So the children's hospital is to be built. The state has made the initial appropriation and will maintain the hos
pital but money will be needed urgently to carry forward the entire program. . This institution when finished will be free to all children whose parents cannot pay for medical or.surgical care. It will give to them every attention, that modern science can provide. There, in the name of James Whitcomb? Riley, the afflicted boys and girls of Indiana will be made w'ell if medicine
or surgery can reach them. Such a program
cannot ' fail. , How , .quickly it .will become a reality depends' wholly on the liberality of the people of Indiana . r ' ..." AMERICAN INDUSTRY TIRST.
Although the tarff bill as drawn by the senate, nnaoce committee and rcp'rted to the senate v finance committee and reported ! to the
f house,' both bills tiavc the same aim and with the
reconcilement of differences there will result a tarjff act promotive, of prosperity so far as that is possible by legislation in;. the present abnormal state of world trade.;;;-.::: ' . Since the degree of protection that ten years ago was capable of supporting American standards of living would -be ' insufficient now, the proposed rates of duties necessarily average
somewhat higher than those of the Piyne-Al-drich act, the Republican law which was contemptuouhly cast aside by the Wilson administration. The proposed rates ",of course, are much higher than those provided in the Underwood law. the last' Democratic tariff which brought
American business to the verge of ruin frpm which it W4S saved only by the outbreak of the war in Europe. America today' has to fear not ' merely cheaper goods from abroad but a far greater volume : qf . imports pressing for dominance . in American . markets. The protective tariff will be a 4am against the menacing flood. It will permit the maintenance of essential price levels herei price levels that Will assure employment of Americans at satisfactory wages and form the basis of domestic" taxation that is bound to remain high for many years. Ijnless American industries are adequately protected it will be difficult to raise the revenues that are now required. Expectation at Washington that the tarifi act will occupy the senate for the greater part of three months is based on a knowledge of the intricate problems involved. It is not too much time to devote to a policy that will play an important part';in the1 future' fArnerican industry. While considerable debate may ensue, agree
ment between the senate and the house will swiftly follow, it is predicted.

TO THE ELEVENTH WARD IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION An Open Letter Regarding the Sidewalk Improvements on Rohde, Tapper, Howard Ave. GENTLEMEN: Thusfar the members of the Eleventh Ward ImpDrvement Association . and .: the Hammond Realty Company, represented by the firm of Woods, Martin &: Company, have been "partners in the development of the EAST SIDE with results in the way of NEIGHBORHOOD BETTERMENT of which we are all proud. Some of the outstanding accomplishments are as follows : 1. We induced the City of Hammond to purchase .May wood Park, an -s,-. improvement that has encouraged beautiful, orderly development and jias repelled the ugliness that threatened to ruir ay wood. - 2. At the earnest solicitation of your members we refused to sell lots to ' people whose intention was to erect shacks; cheap, temporary structures which experience shows arc never temporary. . 3. Our management and sale of the properties of th cllnited States ' Housing Corporation has been guided by a desire to s.l only to a good class ' ; :f people. Wc claim ie credit for havingprevented an effort to make a foreign -district of the Lyndora addition. , : 4. Wre are pioneers in the policy of Liberal Subdividing. When we laid - out Maywood as a high grade residential subdivision with wide streets and broad grass plots; people said we were crazy. All most people could sec in -; : those early days was the horrible disorder of East Hammond and they thought . ; ,;'f Maywood would never be anything else but "a foreign district with some foreigners liking for fences, stores mixed in with residences, and houses erected :lose together with no building line regulations. : BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE NOW WHEN WE LAID OUT THOSE WIDE STREETS WE WERE LOOKING FAR INTO THE
FUTURE. WE WERE AVOIDING THE MISTAKES THAT THE BL1LDLKS Oh OKluliNAL HAftiMUiM MADE. THOSE SHORT SIGHTED PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW PUTTING THE CITY TO A MILLION DOLLARS EXPENSE TO CORRECT GLARING ERRORS IN SUBDIVIDING, SUCH AS THE NARROWNESS OF STATE AND HOHMAN STREETS. " And having laid out wide streets we expect them to be used for street purposes. We did .not dream that many of the owners on Rohde, Tapper and Howard avenues would attempt to have sidewalks placed on the curb lines so that they COULD TAKE POSSESSION OF AND USE CITY PROPERTY. ' , IF WE HAD THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD HAVE MADE THE STREETS 30 FEET WIDE INSTEAD OF 80 FEET AND WE OURSELVES WOULD HAYE SOLD THE ADDITIONAL 30 FEET TO THE CORNER OWNERS. AND BESIDES WHEN STREETS ARE DEDICATED THEY ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE WHOLE Cm'. THE THEORY THAT EACH MAN OWNS HALF OF THE STREET IN FRONT 0F HIS HOUSE IS WRONG. THE WHOLE CITY OWNS IT AND ONLY WHEN STREETS ARE VACATED IN .THE r LEGAL WAY DOES THE STREET REVERT TO THE ABUTING PROPERT OWNER AND THEN ONLY WHEN THE VWOLE CITY GIVES IT UP BY BOARD OF WORKS OR COURT ACTION. ' - IT IS ON THIS THEORY THAT WE PEOPLE WHO 'OWN PROPERTY ON MAY. CARROLL. . ; BECKER. BAUER. DRACHERT, EATON and LYONS STREETS have an interts in mode,'T?pper;ahd J . Howard Avenues. WHOLE CITY INTERESTED THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE INSIDE LOTS ON ALL OFTHESE EAST AND WEST STREETS - HAVE A REAL AND DEFINATE INTEREST IN THE USE TO WHICH THE NORTH AND SOUTH STREETS ARE PUT. THIS COMES ABOUT THROUGH THE FACT THAT EACH INSIDE LOT OWNER HAS GIVEN UP PROPERTY FOR STREET PURPOSES FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE AND HENCE HE HAS LEFT A RIGHT TO USE AND MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF ALL STREETS. : You are not meddling, you property owners in the eleventh ward, when you protest against the encroachment of houses on 'STATE LINE STREET. State Line Street belongs to the whole city. .vDO YOU ELEVENTH WARD PROPERTY OWNERS REALIZE THAT YOU ARE NOW PAYING IN TAES PART OF THE COST OF THE LEGAL FIGHT THE CITIES LEGAL DEPARTMENT IS WAGING TO PREVENT PROPERTY OWNERS ON RUSSELL AND FAYETTE STREETS FROM KEEPING POSSESSION OF city property THAT THEY HAD HELD UNTIL MOST EVERYBODY FORGOT THAT THE CITY OWNED A STRIP OF LAND INSIDE THE SIDEWALK ON THESE STREETS. This case is going to -the supreme court of the state. s, ; FORESIGHT NOT HIND SIGHT? IF YOU PUT THE SIDEWALK ON THE CURBS ON RHODE. TAPPER and HOWARD AVENUES THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN: ; J 1 . In five or ten years, a short time in the life of a city, people will 'y have forgotten that the' city owns the strip between the sidewalk and the lot . line, just as they have on Carroll, Webb, Warren and Mason streets in Home- ? wood. j 2. Garages, outbuildings, fences and even sun parlors and porches and steps will be built on city property. . 3. Then you will awaken to the fact that the traffic demands on the . itreets require wider pavements. r i 4. An. attempt will be made to reclaim the city property. Corner Jot owners will have visions of having to give up property upon which their fences tnd buildings have encroached. There will be opposition. '' - 5 THEN AS IN CASES OF STATE LINE STREET WHERE THE ENCROACHERS HAD NO MORAL RIGHT TO THE PROPERTY THEY HELD; YOU PROPERTY OWNERS WILL HAVE TO RAISE MONEY TO PAY BACK WHAT THE CITY RIGHTFULLY OWNS. : . :. : OUR WARNING TO YOU v IN THE PAST WE HAVE COOPERATED WITH THE ELEVENTH WARD IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IN THF DEVELOPMENT AND ORDERLY GROWTH OF THE EAST SIDE. . IT HAS BEEN NTUALLY PROFITABLE OUR RELATIONS HAVE BEEN CORDIAL. WE .WISH .THEM TO CONTINUE SO i ' BUT WE NOW TAKE THE POSITION THAT THIS COOPERATION CAN NOT CONTINUE IF -THE Qlc-' nf thf nrorvrtv owners of the eleventh ward permit the five percent who own corners thereto 1;&P:ZZZ L YOU CAN MS BACKWARD step if you tu. prove . TO THE BOr&D OF PUBLIC WORKS THAT IT IS THE 5 and not the 95 who are back of ihis deal. . , y You probably know diat unlike our new subdivisions where all restr.ctions are put m the deed t a us. and hence can not be removed, that in Ha nond Realty Co RESTRICTIONS ARE PUT ON. THE PROPSEfSYrvrrnLc mpSr?3- 4 IS NOTHING TO COMPEL US TO W?RITE RESTRICTIONS IN DEEDS IN THE FUTUFIE. . . ; WE ARE READY TO QUIT NOW IF THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE ELEVENTH WARD DO NOT HAVE N0UOjINTERES THE PREDATORY MINOglTYjIF THE PE0PL0F TI HAVE WEARIED IN WELL DOING. IF THEY ARE GOING :T0 pjg BACKWARD STEP 1 we the owners of the remaining vacant property on may. becker, bauer; and Other s tfets in the eixventh ward do not propose to lose s&es in the future TOEP OUT GRERY STOr&S, COAL YARD5, TEMPORARY HOUSES AND OTHER UNDESIRABLE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE CLAMMORING TO GET IN. J. DON'T BLAMF THE BOARD OF WORKS. IT IS ONLY STRIVING TO DO WHAT THE GREAT NUIOWTT OF TOE PROPFTT OWNERS ANT THEM TO DO. BUT IT IS GOING TO TAKE, AN OVERWHE LM NG DEMAND ON YOUR PART TO INDUCE THEM TO BACK DOWN.
THE PROPOSITION IS SIMPLE IF YOU WANT US TO CONTINUE TO ISSUE DEEDS CONTAINING RESTRICTIONS. RHODE. TAPPER AND HOWARD AVENUES MUST NOT BE . , ; IMPROVED WITH 5IDEWALKS ON THE CURB UNES. ! ' THE HAMMOND REALTY COMPANY By Woods, Martin & Company Exclusive Agentp
