MERRY CHRISTMAS

T..s paper wishes to all it's patrons and to the residents of the Island in general a merry Christmas and a happy New Year Taking it all in all, the year now drawing to close has been a good one for this part of the country and there is no reason why the spirit of Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men should not prevail here to a whole-hearcd extent as much as in any part or parcel of the United States.
 In fact. the festive Christmas season should find us in most receptive mood. Our country has escaped the turmoil that is rampant throughout Europe and which extends to our next door neighbor Canada, and to which countries the "Peacc on Earth" slogan must appear a sort of tra- vcstv. To them the word Peace " IS a misnomcr and among them there are few homes to which the season that finds us so happy and with so much to be happy over will not bring sorrow and heart-bun- iues-sorrow for loved ones lost in the maeI- strom of war and heart-bUnings for the future.
 To Americans this Christmas should mean more than any which have preceded it and this paper extends the wish that 1t may do so.
 Merry Christmas to all

THIS IS AMERICA

A Kansas farmer sought to take his boy out of the public schools and place him in a private German school and the right is being contested in the Supreme court. Whatever the decision of the court may be, a Kansas newspaper breaches a splendid sermon to all persons of foreign birth in this country as follows:
 ''We can't have nation built up of
 warning nationalities. We can't per
 init citizens of German descent to go
 to German schools; French to FrencF
 schools; Greeks to Greek schools. If
 German parents want their children to
 be Germans there's an easy way to ef- feet that end: that is, to stay in Ger
 many. The same with French Greek
 or any other nationality"
 This is America-an English speaking nation. It is made up of the people cf all countries and their descendants but Eng fish is the language of the nation-and must continue to be. We owe much to the people of all nations; we have become great be- cause of the intermingling of the many races, not because a few of the races have tried to remain separate and apart. We shall continue to be a great nation so long as We frown upon racial prejudices, and to prevent warning nationalities from existing in our midst. But, it is America, and must

The efforts being put forth by the au- thoritics to ferret out the mystery sur rounding the murder of a woman here last week are most commcndable and it is both hoped and believed those efforts will eventually uuravcl the tangled skem in which the affair is now wrapped. Less than twenty wears have elapsed since such mur- der i'm am Alaskan town would not be con sidcrcd worth more than a single head in a newspaper, would create no excitement whatever and would be forgotten by the authorities within a few days. But those days are gone never to return in this great northern empire. Alaska is now making name and reputation for herself and those who are clothed with authority to apply and enforce the laws of the land are doing it with a zeal that is most commendabe and in so doing they are given the moral sup port of fom-fifths of the people. Those who gloricd in the words of the poet:
 "There is no law of God or man
 Runs north of 53,
 are now in a hopeless minority which grows smaller and more hopeless with each sue cccdng year. Alaska is coming, and com ing more rapidly and with longer strides than were ever taken by any part or parcel of Uncle Sam's broad domain, and this hcalthful and encouraging condition is due more to the strong, broad-mmded, fearless and mcowuptible class of men who fin our highest offices than to any other cause.

At present the cost of the paper on which one thousand letterheads, bill heads, laun- dry slips and kindred stationery IS printed is as much as was obtained for the finished product only few years ago. Something must be done to reduce the cost of raw material or many job printers now work ing for themselves will be seeking jobs else where-at longshoreing or some kindred occupation for which the raw material con sists principally of muscle and an mcIina- tion to strike.

DON'T BE A CLAM

For the past several months many Iaborors of this community have en- tertained a yearning for tho outside Arizona. Utah, Montana and other mining flolds-and many have left for some one of these places. Now letters are coming back by every mail laden with such advice os Don't be a clam. Stay where you are. Treadwell has this place skin ned in dozen ways. Wages are better here but conditions are bad. Don't come"

Local merchants have made extensive for the holidays and are en- loving am excellent trade. Read their ad- vcrtisements and remember that adver- tising merchants are always up-to-date. In fact, advertising merchants are the only ones who invite the public to call at their places of business and the majority of peo- pie prefer going to stores to which they are invited. You are not sure the others de- sire your patronage. If they do, they have said nothing about 1t.
Douglas Island news., 1916-12-22

The long delinquent tax list appearing in this paper is not so much an indication that property owners are unable to pay their taxes as of indifference and inatten- ton to a very important matter. That the city has the authority to sell property on which tax is not paid there is no question; also, there is no question but that such sales will be carried out in ease the delmquencies are not adjusted.

The snow which ten days ago threat ened to be 1.-two squaws deep' has almost disappeared from the lower levels. The foregoing term was once used by an Indian chief in describing heavy snow fall and doubtless meant from nine to ten feet, de- pending somewhat on the curvature Of the backs of the squaws.
Douglas Island news., 1916-12-22

This issue of the Douglas Island News contains forty-two columns of home-set matter more than three times as much as ever appeared in any newspaper published on the Island previous to three months ago. The fact that such a large paper is required this week to carry the local business of the Island speaks well for the public spirited ness of our patrons The merchants of both Douglas and Trcadwell are alive to their interests and realize that the spider never wcavcs his subtitle web in the door of any business house that advertises.
