THE POINT OF THE PRovERs

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. II means
that a msn always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
It means, stick to your pillow; to the
blacksmith. stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush.
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
1t Is amusing, however, to remark
how every ono OF us secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself.
The painter imaglncs he can mako
paint better than the paint manufac-
turer; the farmer thinks no can do
Job of painting better. or at least
cheaper than tho painter, and so on.
A farm hand In one OF Octave

body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
None Of your ready made mixtures
for me; reckon l ought to know
how TO mix paint"
The farm hand Is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker. stick
to your last" The fancy farmer"
can farm, Of course, but Il Is an e1-
pensive amusement II 1t strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him FIVE dollars q dozen, II
Is q form Of amusement, to be sure,
II he can afford It. but It's not farm
ing. II the farmer likes to slosh
around with paint brush and can ar.
ford the time and the expense of hav.
Ing a practical painter do the Job
right pretty soon afterward, It's a
harmless form OF amusement. II the
painters customers can afford to
the time It should, they have a perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skin in paint making But
In none Of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last.
There Is Just one class Of men in
the world that knows how TO make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing It right; and that is the
paint manufacture-s-the makers Of
the standard brands OF rcady.prepared
paints. The painter mircs paints;
the paint manufacturer prinds them
together. In n good ready-prepared
paint every particle OF one kind Of
pigment f. forced to Join hands with
a particle Of another kind and every
bit Of solid matter is forced. as II
were, to open its mouth and drink in
It's share Of linseed oil. That Is the
only way good paint can be made, and
II the painter knew how to do 1t he
has nothing Mt hand to do It with A
paint pot and n paddle are n poor
substitute for power.mixers. buhr.mills
and rollormlls.
The man whC owns n building and
neglects to paint It ms often as It
needs paint is only a degree more
short-sightcd than the one who tries
to do his own painting or allows the
painter 20 mix his paint for him.

The election of Thomas Gale for the
long term seems to be conceded, and
that for the short term is generally ad-
mivted to be be between Gov. Swine
ford and Frank q. Waskey. And that
recalls that one thing is certain for
which sll should give praise. The
people of Alaska have no use for tories
or for any one showing the least dis
position to compromise with them.
The trucking platform adopted by the
republican convention as a result of the
Shoup-tory masquerade defeated
Judge" Murane before he was nomi-
mated and the attempt of the supporters
OF Judge" Mellen to capture tie tory
vote pushed him of the same plank
that had been walked by Shoup and
Mursne. There is no suspicion Of tory
faint about Mr.. Gale, Gov. Swinetord
or Mr. askey. That is why the people
take to them.

The thing of supreme Importance to
all the people OF Alaska, including all
classes that are unselfshly interested
in the development OF the territory, is
the principle Of SELF-GOVERN-
MENT-a principle that lies at the
very foundstion of American ideals.
GOV. swINEFORD is THE EN-
BODIMENT OF THAT PRINCIPLE.
He has been identified with the strug-
gle for it for more than 20 years. His
election as delegate from the district
would emphasize as nothing else could
possibly do the demand Of the people
for it. That it is a duty to vote for
him is plain.

A GOOD SHOWING

The showing made by the Skagway
city government in the statement Just
issued BY the city clerk is one that is
credible in every respect. A reduction
of the net debt to the extent of $1,000
in one year is an achievement in which
those who accomplished it might with
propriety take a great deal of pride.
It is also worthy of note that this re
duction was made in spite Of the fact
that we have not had q niggardly ad-
ministration. The streets have been
kept in good repair and they have been
better lighted than ever before. We
have had competent employees who
have been paid for their services and
the school board has been provided
with ample funds. This has been made
possible by good management and by 3
constant care 10 prevent waste at any
place. :
It is not yet two years since the con-
structlon Of the Sksgway water works
were undertaken. Since that time
more than $4,000 have been expended
upon them, schools have been main
tanned and the people given an efficient
administration of municipal affairs,
Notwithstanding this the city could
psy every cent Of the city's indebted
ness and have balance in the treasury
OF nearly sl4OO.

cumulated surfeit of questionable char
acters in its purlieus and it is necessary,
for the moral health of the community,
to abate the congrestion, the Louisiana
method Of marking and herding the
worst and shipping them out in a bunch
at the expense of the people, is system
that commends itself by reason of its
thoroughness and fnality. It is certain
ly more conclusive than the resort to
police court penalties that are invar-
iably laid out in jail at a far greater
expense than the cost of transportation
would be, and the rigor and exaction of
the exporting" style, is lesson not
soon forgotten by even the toughest Of
criminals. They rarely ever come back,
and they pass the word of warning all
along the line of their professional ac-
quaintance. 1t might be tried here and
now with very complete and satisfactory
results if it be done smartly and thor
oughly, with no partiality shown to pets
of either sex. Think it over, gentlemen,

z BECOMING AN OLD STORY.

Poor old Russia is completely sub
merged in the elements of riot, and sedi-
tion, loss, and suffering, and the myriad
ills of interecine warfare, with never a
word Of cheer or hopefulness! Why
does not the Car do something to re-
lieve the situation? Once in a while
he says something that indicates that he
is still alive, but he never does anything
that means business. If he would but
summon the spirit of the race he stands
for and thrust himself to the ore-front,
for good or evil the world would cotton
to him and give him the glad hand, and
rank him among the men of the age.
But his negative, sullen, spiritless, cow
ardly inaction is becoming the by-word
of all the peoples and he is regarded the
world over as cipher. He might die the
idol of the Russians if he would shake
off the lethargy that is upon him, soar
to the head of the government and take
command of his superb heritage, free his
people and put them on the plane of
happiness. Such things have been done,
and the world is ready for the next
glorious exhibition and quietly hoping it
may come from down. -trodden Russia.
