CHRISTMAS GREETINGS
Ihe Alaskan extends to its many
friends, and others, A Happy Christ
mas and many returns of the day.
THE SPIRIT OF THE DAY
* Peace on earth and good will
toward men.”
‘ Religion is a failure. The world
must find some other means of bet
tering mankind.” Perhaps. But
have we made sincere effort to live
up to the thot of Peace and Good
Will to All men? Is it the failure
of the tenets of the Great Teacher
that the world goes on building
greater fleets, poison gases and oth
er uncivilized methods of warfare?
Is it the fault of the Great Teach
er that we hold fellowman in con
tempt and show not that goodwill
to all. Are we earnestly, sincerely
* making effort to have peace and to
bring peace. Is it not the selfish
ness of man that prevents the pro
per working out of the spirit of
Christmas throughout the year.?
We wear our smug go-to-meet
ing clothes, and piously fold our
nands, drop a nickle in the collec
tion plate for the heathen Chinee
and go home and forget thethot of
Peace and Goodwill to men.
How much better did wre live our
Christmas thoughts and spirit for
365 days a year, aiding in those
things which will better mankind,
now much better to live and let
livo with charity for all and malice
toward none.
The joy that is in the hearts of
the kiddies is wonderful to behold.
The pleasure in giving that joy is
worth repeating more than just
through the holidays. WTith the
spirit, like the ruler, Pilot, we
could be almost persuaded to
hatreds that have been engendered
b> so-called Christian gentlemen.
Almost, but not quite.
KEEP SCHOOLS OUT
OF POLITICS
Constructive legislation designed
to place the educational institu
tions of Washington State forever
beyond the reach of political in
fluence or political activities, is be
ing prepared by the Alumni As
sociation of the University of Wash
ington for presentation to the next
session of the Washington State
Legislature.
A. R. Hilen, chairman of the
legislative committee of the asso
ciation announced recently that his
committee had been at work up
on the proposed measure for some
time, and that while it was not de
finitely decided just what form the
proposed bill will take, members of
the committee favor enactment of
a statute which will give the gov
ernor the right to bring charges
of malfeasance or misfeasance in
office against any regent or trustee,
but no power of removal on filing
of such charges.
Elimination of political control
over educational institutions is the
only fit and proper course for any
State government to take. The
use of teachers’ institutes for fur
thering political scheme would fall
under such head; travelling around
at State expense in the active poli
tical interest of political organiza- j
tions is inexcusable and the un- ■
warranted use of State funds and
abuse of office. Be it in Washing
ton or Alaska, we are “agin such
political institutions.”
Congressman Treadway, who was
actively opposed to appropriations
for the Alaska Railroad last year
again put himself on record as be
ing opposed to that Road which is
building up the interior country.
Where ignorance is bliss ’tis folly
to be wise. After taking millions
out of the country and sacking and
gutting resources they declare that
uo good can come out of Alaska
on the grounds that “it is costing
| the government too much. How
about the railroad grafts during
! the administration of Pres. Grant.
| Enemies of government ownership
have short memories when they
I have shrort memories when they
i come prating to Alaskans about
j “wasting money."
