THE CHRISTMAS TIDE
Another Christmas tide is upon us, j
and once more the people of all Chris
tian climes, without regard to rack or
class, are celebrating the birth of Him
who came to earth, bringing peace anil
good will. * For a few days at least all
men, whether rich or poor, whether
high in official or social position or
whether plain citizen* of their couniry
will forget their contentions and ceas?
their wars against their fellows for
power, place and gain in recognition ol
a common allegiance that makes them
brothers.
One of the signs of the times that
gives courage to those brave and opti
mistic men and women who are striv
ing to make the world better Is the
fact that never in history has the cus
tom of mas in * people of all classes
happy on Christmas day been so nearly
universal as it is now. So Christlike
has become the heart of the public that
today there is hardly a child in the
I Great Republic, of which we are apart,
I but that will be made to understand
that good old Santa Claus is a beniticent
saint who re-uembers both the poor
and the rich. This work has every
where ceased to be confined to the
churches, but it has been taken up in
a mannt - la..: ret -.j ?; tr.oathC'o
and kirn ... Ikcjusj ^ j a:. J bus
the general public.
la thl - c vinec: ion ' oo much credit
cannot be given to the Arctic Brother
hood, a great secret order that lies
close *o the heart of things in the
North, for the manner in which it has
undertaken to see that every one of
tender years in Skagway is made happy
with the knowled^e^jt is not so insig
nificant but that it was remembered
by Santa Claus acd that it is in Hp good
favor. . _ - ?
It is not meant, of course, to dispar
age the eiTorts of the Christian church
es, which were never so successful as
at the presett, to make the Christmas
tide a time for the exercise cf that in
terest in others manifested by tbe
Christ when he was on earth. They
now lead in ttat work, as they have al
ways lead.
PECULIAR ATTITUDE OF JU
NEAUITE*.
A Juneau paper, probably referring
to the movtment to raise money with
which to defray the experset of Gov.
Swiaeford at Washington, says:
"The business men of Juneau should
raise a fund to ktep 'delegates without
authority' away from Was^ ington, not
to send them th-. re."'
Yet Juneau is the town of all others
in Southeastern Alaska that is expect
ing favors from Washington. it is the
town that ovt.ilows with candidates for
every governmental position. It is the
town that wants a C3pitol buildicg And
expects an appropriation for that pur
pose. I?. is ihe town that demards as
its due all the honors and favors that
come to Alaska. If Gov. Swineford
should go to Washington a: the ex
penses cf Ska^wa y acd "lines and
Ketchikan and Wrange.i ..i.U h? oth
er towns, sive Juneau, as ?i 1 b the
case if this Juneau paper sis ?r.y, it
iO-j

will be at Juneau where most complaint
will be made if Gov. Swineford fails to
secure for that place the things that
concern it particularly and are more or
less unimportant to other towns of the
district.
The sooner the people of Juneau real
ize that the interests of that town and
those of the remainder of Southeastern
Alaska are identical, the better It will
be for them. Without the co-opera
tion of the other sectionsof Southeast
ern Alaska Juneau will cut less and
less ice iu Alaskan affairs as the years
?0 by. and uuless Juneau unbends ju?t
a little from its stiff-necked position it
will not always have that co operation.
The case of J. J. Rutledge, who was
arrested at Whitohorse under a capias
warrant sworn out at Dawson, who was
not leaving the country and who owed
nothing that was due to the man caus
ing his arrest or, so far as known to
anyone else, is an instance where the
untiring and omnipresent Dawson ,
capias was not only aggravatingly ob
noxious, but absolutely unwarranted.
To all its patrons and readers and
everybody in Skagway and all the
North The Daily Alaskan wishes a
merry Christmas.
Delay i* Dangerous
Do the right thing at the right time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
Backache is kidney danger.
Poan's Kidney Pills act quickly.
Cure all distressing, dangerous kidney |
i'ls.
Plenty of evidence to prove this.
Mrs. A. Canavan of 733 Northrup
Street, Wife of A. Canavan, who is em
ployed ?t the city waterworks, Portland,
Oreg? savs: "For two or three years,
?vvi-ig to kidney ccmpla'nt and back
ache. I was some days unable to attend
to my household duties at all. What I
did do was under gieat s:raln and mls
ary. When, owing to a weak, lame and
aching btck, you are unable to sit,
stand or lie when dizzy spells are com
mon and you aie annoyed with head
ache, you'naturaily think a good deal of
the means at last employed which save
relief. I used Doan's Kidney Hills,
taking them according to directions
and I found more relief from them than
from all other remedies I ever took put
together. When in conversation with
iny one annoyed with symptoms of kid
nev complaint, I never fail to get in b
good word lor Do.u's Kidney Pills."
