that iF tho saloou3 were really ab

ALASKA is truly the port of mis

that seme mother, fanher, sisTer 01
brother is not writing to the Gover
nor seeking information, • as to> the
wheieabouts of 60ffie( loved on<
It is a sad commentary upens a citi
zeushiD which) will allow a man tc
turu his ba*Jc upon all his rela
tives and friends and hide his Wen
"ty in this primal wilderness.
Tne first duty of a man is to his
folks; to ke^p. them informed as to
his location aoid, fortune. A law
s'-ould be passeed compelling all
residents of a Territory as vast as
this on© to register amj repo.t theii
movements to profper officials. Jt
is required in. jail other countries
and is cf groat. benefit in tracing
these who,"wisls to hide the:r iden
t:'y in a strange land, or ■'who "pay
so li'tle ^attention to blood ties as
*o live year after year allowing
loving relatives and friends to re
main in ignorance of #h£ir welfare.
It is the Bupremeteot of the egoist;
t' e mos*. perfect exhibition oi s«l
'ishnes and egotism we have eve
w'tm-ssed.—Valdes Prospector '
IDEAS TO GET KID OF
If you have not mads a success
of yourself get rid of Oheee Ideas:'
That the place at whichl you wori
is :i social club, a hall of oratory,
i mating'plaice fo>r conspirators, a
cursing club, a school for 6lander.
a society for Che prevention of
useful work, a debating society, a
temj.Ie for triflers, a church for
•he religion of laziness, a morgue
for dead energy, or a bungler's ba
Ziar . | "
It is none o* those thtings. Neith
er is it a home for the indulgence
of hobbies, a knocking asylum, a
loafing entente, or a ne'er-do-well
alliance .
Ce* xid of'such! ideas. And get
rid of the idea, that you can. get
something for noBhing.
Ideas like the above'were; made
for the purpose of getting rid of
them, [if you are k^e5*inS any of
them in captivity, light a fuse and
at once explode the prison.
Soon-er or later you will get rid
of them; and when, you come to
you will find'yourself asking the
Salvation Army for a meal.—M. J

EDISON'S TIME CARD
SHOWS LONG HOURS
Mr. Edison, tie inventor of the
incandescent electric lamp has de
"ne'* genius as 2 per cent iuspera
Mod and 98 per cent persperation.
In h's own working rooms-in New
Jersey, Mr. Edison punches a time
card each daywfaenj he- comes and
goes, j ust aa any other employe,
and his time card is the best evi
dence o? his j beHef in Ms defini
tion.
A study of one of Mj\ Edison's
tins cards is interesting. This,
his> time card for title week ending;
August 27, shows that on, Wadnes
lav Mr. Edison) did not come in at
iU in the mornin, foT he was .al
ready in, haying -worked all night.
I He left ait 8:16 in t&e\ morning and
returned six hours later "punchling
•n" at 2:20. Again, he worked all
n**bt, leaving the following morn
ing a' 8:11 after an 18-houit str^ah,
of work. Thus | he labored night
after night and af the end' of thei
week-'the punching shows a total
of 95 hours and 49 minutes to,'Ms
cr*lit. This ttmq card wag selected
at random and does not differ mucS
from the time jcard found in the

the end oC almost any week

busily at work.
