ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT ©F ANY OTHER PUBLICATION MERRY CHRISTMAS. The Empire gives Juneau and all Gastineau Channel another wish for a merry and happy Christmas. It hopes that everyone who has been busy preparihg for the holidays will declare his work accomplished and observe the day in the manner he deserves. There will be no edition of The Empire tomorrow. The Empire staff is to have a holiday, too. \ Merry Christmas! CliRlSTMAS GREETINGS ARE SINCERE. “To all of the people of the North, Christmas greetings, and sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year.” That is the message sent today by Gov. John W. Troy to all Alaskans, from Ketchikan to Nome, through the medium of the newspapers of the Terri- tory. None who knows the Governor will doubt the sincerity of his message. None who knows him will doubt that he will do everything in his power to contribute to the happiness and prosperity of every Alaskan, and further, so far as he is able, the best interests of the Territory. Christmas Everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas tonight! Christmas in lands of the fir-tree and pine, Christmas in lands of the palm-tree and vine, Christmas where snow peaks stand solemn and white, Christmas where cornfields stand bright Christmas where children are hopeful and gay, Christmas where old men are patient and gray, Christmas where peace, like a dove in his flight Broods o'er brave men in the thick of the fight; Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas tonight! sunny and #or the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all; No palace too great, no cottage too small. —Phillips Brooks. General Security the First Task. (Kansas City Star.) Mayors of nearly one hundred leading American cities, meeting in Chicago, applauded the statement of Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief Administrator, that “I am more convinced than ever that the way to do this (to meet the relief problem) is by the work method.” That is a reflection of an Admin- istration view that has been expressed several times recently. From what the President and others have said, it has been understood for weeks that a new relief program was in the making, and it is in- dicated by the Relief Administrator that adoption | of it will be a part of the work of Congress, meet- ing in January. What the work method or methods are to be, if direct relief is abandoned to the extent possible, has not been revealed. That is the crucial question. Mr. Hopkins speaks of children without shoes in Massachusetts, “the greatest shoe manufacturing center in the world;” he refers to homes “not fit to live in” and asks why we do not build new oues. Secretary Ickes last week raised a controversy, now | fortunately adjusted, over the latter with his sug- | gestion of nation-wide building of low-cost homes financed by the Government. But the shoe manufacturing plants are equipped te turn out more shoes than the market could absorb, even with wholesale buying of the product | for Telief purposes; and the construction industry | reculd build more houses than could be sold; even at moderate prices. In these and in other fields, | it is fundamentally a problem of gonsumer purJ chasing power and of distribution: If private in- dustry of all kinds could be sure of public ds mand, its own future and freedom from interfer- ence, it could go ahead expanding its output, taking lon more workers and thereby cutting down the relief rolls and diminishing that problem. That would be a sound work method. Anything that is definitely calculated to encour- |age industry in that direction, therefore, is the best | |relief solution to be had. Work relief that is tan-| tamount to Government competition with industry | is an aggravation, not a solution. Accordingly, the first task, as the President has said, “is to get the| economic system to function so that there will be | a greater general security.” All along there will be a residuum of workers unable to find employment 'and of others who are left dependent. "But providing for these, through various noncompetitive forms of | work-relief, would be a task greatly simplified. The new relief program should be guided by (such principles. They are absolute essentials to a safe and permanent solution. | December. ¢ | (Cincinnati Enquirer.) i To the Romans December was simply the tenth | month, but to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors it was the Yule month. They, in common with all the primitive world, celebrated the time when the sun| began its northward journey. And their celebration | in mid-Winter meant enormous fires on the hearth. The Yule log became the symbol of the warmth and hospitality in palace and cottage alike. Every- |one ate and everyone drank until, unable to hold more, they fell beneath the table. Those old feasts, | where the boar's head was the dish of ceremony and veniscn pie the piece de resistance, have come down in song and story. When the glamorous romance of time is stripped away from them and the plain truth is told they become drunken revels, where the man who could eat and drink the most was held in the highest esteem. There was no 'suggestion of the high and supremely beautiful spiritual values which ennoble our Christmastide. We still have the Yule log. We have made it part of our Christmas festival, and we have added the pagan Kris Kringle or Santa Claus to the Christian story. These things which we inherited from our rude heathen ancestors in the north of Europe were too gocd to ost. We dropped Thor and Odin as we became civilized and took | over the Roman calendar, so the month is Decem- ber to us. But after all in our hearts it still glows as it did centuries ago, as the month of Yule. That is | what glorifies it. Its raw and blustery days are | forgotten and are forgiven, for it is the most| memorable month in all the year, the month when | comes the tenderest, sweetest, most human of all ]holidays, the one time in the year when all hearts | are melted and go out to each other in loving |kmdneus. the month when again we beccme‘ | children. | be \' The Society for the Prevention of Useless Noises | ought to appoint a committee to crack down on Smedley Butler.—(Detroit Free Press.)
