SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26,1916
Holidays aiv beautiful things as long as they last
but no longer.
If you keep vour head on a holiday you won't have to
keep it in iee or hold it in your hands next morning.
People think it necessary to celebrate Christmas no
matter how hard they have to work to pretend they are
succeeding. Holidays should sometimes he called hol
lowdays or hollerdays. Christmas is usually a hollyday.
Tis anything hut a holyday very often. For fear people
might not he properly sick next morning some sublime
genius invented Tom and Jerry.
There may he only one more Christmas in Alaska, ex
cept a church Christmas.
Some people, perhaps, thought Christmas dull this
time. Some people think every Christmas dull. Christ
mas as a matter of fact is always dull except for kids of
various ages, but it was not dull for the millions of poor
devils who faced the Christmas elements and the shells in
the trenches. How selfish we are; How self-centered.
Tiie peace message of President W ilson in the aggre
gate, pernaps, brought a brighter gleam to the human
gloom than any other message since the first Christmas,
t ountless thousands of women and children, no doubt,
saw in the message the gleam of the hope that the day is
approaching when the terror aroused by the fear for the
safety of those they love shall be driven away like an evil
spirit. Hid the work o! President Wilson have no further
t {feet this alone pleaces him today on the brightest and
highest pinnacle. And W ilson was enabled to do this by
the Genius of the Cnited States that has kept it front the
conflict and placed it outside of the maelstrom. W ilson
is only the mouthpiece of the Genius, but even at that
what greater fame could man have than to give expres
sion to the spirit of a great nation that is so evidently
blessed, If peace should come through his efforts the
name of Wilson must henceforth hear a halo. Without
irreverence it max he said that his will bo the name to take
second place in relation to Christmas in human history.
