There Is no getting away from
the fact that the people of the pio
neer countries are wore spontan
eously generous than they are In
the older communities. The Christ
mas tree given last evening, is one
out of a hundred circumstances
which govs to prove the assertion.
Skagway is a small community, her
popualtlon Is not numerous, but
whea It comes to aiding the needy
or contributing to the happiness of
mankind, Skagwans are all million
aires with hearts of gold.
Wo remember back In the middle
east, not so very long ago, for we
are yet youthful, when there were
poor and needy In the community,
with riches all about; wheu Christ
mas day was joyful only to the
children of the rich and well-off,
when there was want and wretched
ness and cold In the homes of men;
when Uttlo children ? the best be
loved of Jesus --went without toys or
sufficient food and clothing.
But In Skagway, and we believe
In the broad empire of Alaska there
is not a single case of deatitution.
certainly not one that is generally
known, or where the want can be
supplied
Alaska is rejoicing at this Christ
mas season because her snobs are
few and her pin heads are absent
Because the pineher has not arrived,
and the tight wad is ostracised. Be
cause there is real peace on earth
and good will toward men: there
can be no peace where there Is
hunger and no good will where
(here is wretchedness.
Now that the postofflce box
rents have been reduced, It is
very probable that more of them
will be used and thus the govern
ment will get the same revenue and
the postmaster will be relieved of
some of the work answering the
calls for mall. For twelve cents a
week, or thirty-five cents a quarter,
a lock box may be secured large
enough to hold ordinary mall, this
included a key whereby patrons may
net their mall at any time of day
<?r night. We certainly believe that
the new schedule Is best for all
i-oncerned. Numerous sales at
small profits, is the basis upon which
| all large businesses are built up.
Thanks to persistent agitation
md the wisdom of the state legis
lature, vaccination is no longer com
pulsory In this state, except In
times of epidemic, which (th inks to
progress in sanitation) Is not at all
likely, since the doctors, school
boards, and the public have learned
that the belt prophylatlc against any
disease is a normal manner of living
combined with personal and muni
cipal cleanliness, and not the intro
duction of "serums," "vaccine*,"
and other products of disease into
the healtK.y body. ? Glendon (Cal )

What Is Causing the Restless
ness Among the People of
the United States?
By JAMES T. YOUNG. Professor of Public AdmlnUtrmtion.
University of Pennsylvania
J EVER since the civil war have we had such an entire tran9
I formation of the political stage, such a complete UPSET
I ^ TING OF THE DRAMA OF NATIONAL LIFE,
' both of men and issues, as during the last ten years.
For this the PROBLEM OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION
IS CHTEFI.Y RESPONSIBLE. Our country is undergoing such ?
sudden change of management as usually comes but ONCE IN A
CENTURV, and the central idea in this change is the extension of
the GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER ALL FORMS OF
BUSINESS ACTIVITY.
Arc we to interpret this as an outbreak of hysteria, a MOMEN
TARY INSANITY from which the nation will soon recover to pur
sue its former paths? Emphatically no I
THE ERA THROUGH WHICH WE ARE NOW PASSING MARKS A
NATURAL. CONSISTENT STEP IN ADVANCE, AND, THOUGH, LIKE
EVERYTHING ELSE WE AMERICANS DO. IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY
SOME EXTRAVAGANCE AND EXCESS, YET WE ARE BUILDING A
SOLID FOUNDATION FOR A MORE PERMANENT, PROSPEROUS AND
HEALTHY BUSINESS STRUCTURE THAN HAS HERETOFORE CHAR
ACTERIZED OUR SOMEWHAT ECCENTRIC METHODS OF MONEY
MAKING.
The "regulative era" means that we are definitely PASSING
FROM THE OI.D ORDKR to a different and perhaps HIGHER
STANDARD, to which our business and political system must be
adapted, just as to the higher cost of labor, the greater expense of raw
materials and the high cost of living. The permanence of this new
relative svsteiu mu?t be accepted.
Nicaragua Wants Help and
Good Influence of the
United States
By General JUAN J. ESTRADA, Former Pre dent of Nlcirilua
(
,i, i
Nicaragua wants the help and good influences of
the united states, not only in maintaining* the
GOVERNMENT. BUT IN AID OF THE POOR CLASSES.
We v. *nt help to protect them from those who seek power
at their expanse. Theso seekers use the treasury and grind down the
workers. There is NKVER ANY RELIEF FOR THE POOR,
and then- can be none until we have law and order.
We it. -.1 t!ie friendly guidance of the United States in building np
the < iii ?n-liii? and the resources of the country. We want to g*t
bi lj> i: :: iil benefit Nicaragua, not tho politicians.
