A KERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
Tht1 Prospector wishes its
readeers, on • and all. a merry
r.hristmas, ami many of them In
COIIK'.
Tomorrow wo will all celebrate
I he feast nf I he Nativity, a day
observed wherever the dawn of
civilization has shed its light.
Aside from ils religious aspect,
we can in this far norlhland re
joice in I hat we have passed the
long night ami are emerging in
to the longer days, which will
again, as the short months roll
by, permit us In revel in the mid
night sun, ami lo resume our
self-imposed lask of developing
the wilderness into a hive of
industry, making happy ami pros
perous homes' for I he thousands
who have been crowded to the
wall in the overflowing centers of
population.
We all have reason lo rejoice
on Ihis day, for in a material way
if holds nul llie promises which
Ihe birlh of Christ twenty
centuries ago, gavo in a spiritual
way lc» man, who was groping
for a future, other than that
"taught by the primitive religions.
On tomorrow, in conjunction
with all others, the Prospector
force will lay aside work and give
themselves over to rejoicing.
PASS LAWS FOR ALASKA
PROMPTLY.
The coming session of con
gress cannot lie cxperteij to <|o

appropriation hills. deferring
legislation which is likely to he
the subject of controversy u:11 iI
the new rout:rc>s organizes and
the I >emocra|s assume full con

there are some ipicstions which
call urgently for act ion. on which
I lie people are not divided on
parly lines and o»i which public
opinion is p>*e||y well crystaliz
ed. llniig'ress can well lake up
one or two of these al Ihe coin
ing session and dispose of I hem.
The most important of these
subjects are conservation and Ihe
closely related development of
Alaska. There is no parly di
vision on these subjects. The
policy of leasing coal, oil and
phosphate lands and power sites
has very general support in both
leading parlies. It has some de_
lermincil opponents among both
Mcpuhlican- ami Democrat's, hills
for the leasinu of Alaska coal
land and for ihe co'isi rucl ion of
government railroads in that

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Kven the cost of salvation is
going up. Billy Sunday received
*12,000 for six weeks exhorting.
From latest accounts the
Michigander will honk with the
Miehigoose about campaign
t imcs.
The Turks certainly won a
givat victory when they managed
lo get into Constantinople In-fore
I he liulgars.
IT it cost Nick Longworlh $I
to get defeated, how much
would it have cost him 1 • ► have
lauded in his job?
Already (luring I lit* short ses
sion Senator Poindetxer has es
tablished himself as the I'.asa
bianea of modern politics.
Now comes the news that
I here's to be a rise in I he price
of champagrne.. That will be hard
on the men working for small
wages. ^
! Me lore leaving oll'iee Secretary
Knox will have to faee. the alter
native of turning down trade or
the .lews who wish lo visit lltis
sia.
Roosevelt said the Progressives
were a good all round parly. He
probably meant that while Jane
Addams was singing hymns I he
"push" were juggling the plat
| form.
Th" main thing European So
cialists are at present working
for is to let the diplomats fight,
out the war themselves, and,
strange to say, these statesmen
do not approve of Socialistic
teachings.
