BE JUST A LITTLE KINDER"

X women's club In @ town in Washington state, has for it's motto Just Be a Little Kinder" It is good and noble motto and 1, may well be adopted by clubs. societies and organizations other than those controlled and directed by women. There should be no monopoly in a good sentiment and th.s is superexceenty good Uukindness common; kindness towards friends mel ghbors acquaintances and strangers Is all too rare.
 How prone we are to speak and think evil of even those we call friends; how slow indeed. to speak the kind word and how quick to utter that which .s unind
 There Is nothing in the motto of the Washington womens club In many forms 1t has been presented to us by the preachers and poets and sages for centuries but the seed of truth which embodies has too frequent y fallen on barren ground And so so along our sey- eral ways not even remembering that kindness one of the simplest and most compelling of virtues. should be exempired by us day by day. There is nothing to be gained by utterng an unknd word; there is wealth of treasure and contentment of mind in being "just little kinder" just little more sympathetic and helpful to ward human beings with whom come in contact.
 most of whom have troubles and of their own did we but realize 1t.
 To be iust little kinder to friends and. yes foes, win not detract from happiness and content ment: 1t win measurably increase bOth and make us iuster and farer in our treatment of and consideration for those who need a word of kindness; and all need it. no matter what our station or circumstances in life few days ago some one remarked that there was no such thing as true friendship in th.s day aud that the nit of commerciaism and the Insane scramble for wealth was eating the heart out of the American people; that there are no modern Damons and Pythiases, no Jonathans and Dayds this prosac and uttaran age Perhaps not: it is hard to conceive that among

AN AFFREcIArIoN.
fFairbanks Times.)

Fairbanks Ilmes)
 For years there has been regretable readiness ap- parent the part of Alaska to attempt to be- little neighboring and indulge in squahbles as fu- tile as they are unbecomng and nladvised No possible good result from display of such anmosity but 1t is entirely plausible to suppose both parties to the mud singing must suffer in the estimation of outsiders Fairbanks papers have consistently boosted for Fair banks but 1t can be claimed to their credit that the boosting been attempted at the expense of other Alaskan towns They have, however undoubtedly over looked through culpable caressness opportunities to put In @ good word for other communities.
 It is therefore with feeling of something more than satisfaction that the Times voices It's appreciation of editorial appearing recently in the Juneau Empire, and reprinted by the Skagway Alaskan entitled Complete the Work" The unsefshnsss which inspired 1t is equaed only by the excellence Of the argument used The editorial is as follows
 "The request of Fairbanks and Valdez news papers that the people of Alaska back up the sug gestion of Col. Richardson that Congress be asked to appropriate enough money to complete the coast to Fairbanks automobile road should be granted Col. Richardson estimates that S1,000 mile would be ample to make fairly good automobile road of the long highway
 "Whie the road from the coast to Fairbanks has already been of nestimabe value to the people of the Interior t is not rendering the service that it would be if enough money could be expended on 1t to provide a good automobile road-one that would permit the reduction of two or three days in the time necessary to make trip over 1t, re- duce the discomfort of passengers, increase the carrying capacity of automobiles, make it less des tructive vehicles and less costly to all concerned The sum necessary to complete the road-SSS5.OOO -s comparatively small one when one considers that its expenditures would aid immeasuraby to the efficiency of the far greater sum that has been expended already.
 "The circumstance that the government is al ready constructing railroad to enter Fairbanks is no argument against the completion of the auto mobile road. The latter traverses an entirely diff of fho md r1ndn into satisfactory road, t would be great aid in build ing up and developing rich areas of Alaska"
