“Fear not; for behold, I bring you
good tiding* of gnu) joy, winch
shall he to all people.”
“For unto you i* Ixjrn this day
in the city of David, a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord.”
Nineteen liundnd years ago this
message was carried by the angels
of tile Lord is the faithful shepherds
in Judea.
Turning to the story as told by
Luke, we discover that it lias not
lost anything by age. It is a* fresli
as ever. The Christinas story 19
still the sweetest ever told. As
long as there is a weary liiart in
the world, so long will the Savior
in Bethlehem he a welcome visitor.
It was a message to the lowly.
It is signiticent where the gospel
began. Jesus was of Koval blood,
but of lowly birth. He came to
the lowliest on earth that he might
lift them to the highest of heaven.
He diil not come to the proud or
arrogant, nor to the self-satisfied
and self-righteous, hut to the lowly
and needy. These know at leas,
one thing, iliat they need help and
throughout all Christendom thou
sands and millions are serving
Him to-day and tind help and joy
and peace in llu> service, and the
message of Bethlehem is made p-aj,
to them; a message of peace and
good-will.
Through the long ages since the
joyful tid.ng of "Pea e on Far h.
Do.id \\ iil M, 1,” was proclaim) <1
by till all - Is li 1 Lori, m a.
h»-- on a •*ele')>a cvi hrottghoi.i the

t e s ate and the world.
To-day is a happy one through
oui our country. We are at peace
with tiie world and there is great
pro peri) v everv where.
Ther are some individual cases
of need and sorrow. In our hap
piness let us not forget h m.
The good tidings of great joy was
for all people. None are too low
or degraded but that the mes-age
is for them and all should rejoice
to-day, for “Unto.you is liorn a
Savior which is Christ tho-Lord.”

The Ketchikan Jom.VVl. says
that Delegate Mark Smith of Ari
zona, in his spiech in the Xu ionul
house of representatives was com
paring territorial government with
statehood. Oi course he was, and
we cannot see why any thinking
person would want to indict such a
state of conditions as exist in Ari
zona under territorial government
upon the jH-ople of Alaska.
The laws that we have and the
conditions that confront us are bad
enough, hut the jam, le of Arizona
are to-day worse off thun .he peo
ple of Alaska.
Here are some of the conditions
that confront the people of Arizona
according to Mr. Smith.
Congre-ss has indicted on us a
sys.em of courts inherently wrong.
It regulates the numl>er of Judges
which is inadequate and results
often in delay and denial of justice.
It reserves the right to annul any
law our legislature may pa.-s, thus
den‘.re>y:ng the faith of emr public
acts. Ii rcM-r\es the right to des
troy any good obligation we may
e. I* l i.I
too. 0/ a law pr....j.u.iu^ u*
from expending our own money on
j I be improvi men a. no mat er
how urgent ov.r necessities.
It has stifled indus ries by pro
hibiting us from selling mining
properties in foreign iiiarke's. hits
laying on us an embargo not borne
■ by the statis. It lias exempted
400 miles of railroad from taxation
] and refuses to survey the enormous
j land grant of said road, so that tax
es on t lie land might be imposed
by the territory.
It lias withheld all school lands
1 and refuses control of same un it
we become a state, and .Inn reft scs
I statehood. It gives us no rej n -
sentative in Congress, yet ini poses
j taxes too burdensome to he borne.
It has imposed every burden ot
! citizenship and withheld its bene
fits by ih living us a voice in the
I enactment of laws by which we ar.
i Urund. It hasdeprned lu- tmn
i it-r se leiiu n s of proper pos a
itacii: is; j roeieo.ng upon lie un
just and imprac ieable basis that
j cvi ry post ottiee shou d he self sus

These are a few of .lie tilings i

with for tile past 20 years and the
