A MERRY CHRISTMAS
To the readers and patrons of The Daily Alaskan; to the people of
Skagway, who have her interests al heart and are seeking to promote
them to the people of the Territory, who wish her well and who work to
make this great territory a belter place to live and a more fruitful field for
development and progress we wish you a Merry Christmas.
The natal day of Christianity has struck its roots deep Into the life
a:id thought, not only of these who are confessedly Christian, but of poo
pie of many divergent religious beliefs and opinions. Christmas has come
to stand for a broader and higher appreciation of the best that is in men
and that may be brought out. The message of good-will sung by the
Angels on that first Christmas on the plains of Bethlehem, is one of the
sorely needed messages for the people of this uld world. How many have
l-een ruined, by t'ue Ill-will of their fellow men. They were not worse
than their fellows but the impetus given to opposition by some one's'ill-will
toward them brought down an avalanche of hostility and they went under.
And from the opposite side, how many have been saved by the good-will
of their fellows. A kindly word spoken; a kindly deed done; the exten
sion of the helpful hand Is often a littla thing for the one making t<*.e offer,
but means salvation to the one receiving it.
But the message of Christmas is a larger message than merely the
good-will of man to man. it speaks tha good-will of God. the creator of us
all. to all his creation. It is the message of courage, when we might be
ready to give up In discouragement; its the message of the final triumph
tf the right, when without it we might see only the triumph of wrong; its
the message of trust, which enables a man to labor on. though it looks as
though ail his labor will be for naught. Its the day which turns the hearts
ci the aged to the young, the day which makes life richer and better for
the opportunities it opens to one for being belter than he has been. Christ
mas has not come to the world, simply as a day of gift giving, but as a day
of life renewing for a world ever in n£ed of the inspiration which it brings.
The Daily Alaskan therefore, wishes to all a Christmas for 1922
which will live in their lives as one of the best they have ever experienced,
and this, but the first of many better ones to come.

Siki Clames It
Was A Frameup
Paris, Dec. 18.—The recent boxing
match between Georges Carpentler
and Battling Slkl was a frame-up,
according to Slkl, who declared yes
terday In presence of three wit
nesses that their fight for the l'ght
heavyweight championship of - the
world was framed for Carpentler to
win, but that during the fight Slkl
changed bis mind and determined
that he would defeat Carpentler.
Declaring itself unaware of Irreg
ularities on the part of the organisa
ers of the Carpentier-Slkt match, the
boxing federation announced today
that it would wait fifteen 'lavs for
Deputy Diague to furnish proof that
the fight was not fixed ahd then ile
mand nullification of his Immunity
as a member of parliament so U
could proceed against him in the
courts.
Francois Deschamps, Carpontler's
manager, declared as an "infamous
lie" Siki's declaration that ttn fic.it
was framed.
. "1 was sure Carpentler could
knock out the negro in ihe first
round and It is ridiculous to suppose
that I would let this clumsy tighter
stay four rounds with tho ciiam- j '
plon."

The Christmas
Spirit
I'TKK a year of strife anil con
fusion the world Is uliout to de
dure an armistice for the observ
ance of Christmas. It Is eurlous how
the essence of Christianity gets-Itself
recognized und practiced In spite ol
the world, the flesh and the devil.
In this time of good will everybody
becomes Christian, for Christmas Is
simply the substitution of the spirit of
giving for the spirit of getting.
When Jesus was born In Bethlehem
there came to the world a new con
ception of God and of his relations
with man. The Child lying In tie
Bethlehem manger will forever sym
bollze and express the world-moving
truth that God Is love and, therefore.
He gives Himself to and for men made
In His image.
Tradition records that when the
Wise Men from the Rast Journeyed to
Bethlehem to worship the new-born
Child, they brought gifts.
The gift of God Is life eternal, here
and hereafter. When this divine spark
animates the bosoms of men. they, too,
begin to give.
Giving Is the chief business of life
for God and men alike. What a man
gives he has. He loses all else. Kurt li
ly Immortality lies In whatever one
gives to one's fellows In service and
friendship and healing.
I wonder If we shall ever be able
to practice the Christmas spirit the
year round!
If that time ever comes we shall
