Spring renovation and repairing Is going on in many of the business es- tablishments and the odor of paint and the bright hues of new wall paper arc much in evidence along the main stem these days. Several store fronts are receiving a fresh coat of paint, which adds greatly to the appearanc of things and other business places are developing a spick and span appear ance indoors under the general fur bishing to which they are being sub jected. A new barber shop is being prepared for opening next door to the old Orland carpenter shop and the front has been nicely painted. The Arctic Bakery has also received q gen. eral cleanup and q new coat of wall paper. as well as a new layer of bright linoleum. The lobby of Nome's fam ous hostelry, the Golden Gate Hotel Is also resplendant in new coat of paint, made doubly attractive by some excellent graining work. The Milo Cafe is also spick and span after vis- it by the painter and paperhanger.

John Olsen, manager of the Jafet Lindeberg fishing plant on Golovin Bay, arrived in town Monday and re- ports that the company has every thing in readiness for tho opening Of the fishing season. Mir. Olsen states that the company has four thousan l barrels in readiness for packing, all Of which were set up during the past two weeks with the assistance of the new barrel setting up and hopping machine devised by Geo. Zollinger the local ma- chinist who is in charge of the Scheid machine shop. Olsen says the new in- vention is q wonder as evidenced by the fact that the setting up of the four thousand barrels was accomplished in less than two weeks by three men. Mr Olsen estimates that the same work could not be accomplished with the same number of hands in less than three months if the old fashioned hand setting up methods are employed. Mr. Olson expects to remain in Nome un- til the opening of navigation.

The employees of department store are
instructed to use Courtesy, not because the
proprietor is a nice man, but because he has
sense. and knows that Courtesy pays, and
that Discourtesy drives away customers.
The banks advocate thrift. not because
they wish "to do good" and are managed by
benevolent, kind gentlemen. but in order
to get more deposits, which is far and away
better reason. because it is based upon q
belief that thrift pays, and produces happi-
ness, and not that it is an unpleasant moral
duty.
The man who advances the cause of right
eousness the most is the man that can show
us that it is a cosmic law and that, by the
law of averages, it pays.
All this, of course does not mean that we
are to do no kind deed without getting
money for it. 1t means the discovery that
the kind deed in the long run brings us more
happiness, more profit.
Good literature is now in every home
magazines more splendid than our fathers
dreamed Of not because somebody was
kindhearted but because somebody found
out it is profitable. Talking-machines and
player-pianos bring good music to the lonely
ranch and far-off settlement, because il
pays.
The inventor, the engineer, the business
organizer, the intelligent politician, the skill
full workman. and all who do good honest
work, all who create and organize, and show
us how to live together without fighting
these are the real Altruists, and not the
people who Talk about it.

There is deal of bunk about Altruism.
When a man approaches me with
scheme, and says he doesn't want to make
any money, but is just working for the good
of his fellow men, | suspect he is a rascal,
and rs per cent of the time my suspicious
are well founded.
This world is organized on pay-as-you-
90 basis. If you have anything to offer that
is of value, men ought to pay you for 1T, and
usually are willing.
The most altruistic thing in the world,
really, is an honest business. A fair and
square grocer does more good in the world
than a free lunch counter.
Giving people things for nothing is, most
of the time, wicked.
Doing out charity, giving to the poor
bread lines free soup kitchens, almsgiving
and the like, are by-products of unjust priv
ilege, predatory wealth, autocracy and class
nonsense.
Democracy aims to establish justice. 1t
does not ask the rich TO be kind to the poor,
but to treat the poor honestly.
In Kingdom Come there will be no Charity
(meaning almsgiving). There will be Jus
tice.
Democracy is intelligent selfishness,
which is a whole lot better than stupid UNI
sefishness
safety First" is not placarded by rail-
road or factory because the boss loves the
help, but because by it the boss gets better
help. 1t saves him money

improve the condition of the masses than
the reformers.
