DEATH, FRIEND OR FOE?

The Thracians, some other ancient people, were accustomed 10 mourn when child born and rejoice when person died This is neither orthodox or consonant with the general custom, still there seems to be considerable reason in it, to say re- ligon. Poets, philosophers and dvines, pagan and Christian ali agree that life IS nothing but empty dream. neverfaing vale of tears full of sorrow and travail How many of us are contented with things they they have been? Each of us with fatuous confidence which no exp rience re move, is looking toward the future for recompense for all the toll and pain of the present and past. There are few believe who if they might wound
 live their whole lives over, emitting no experience of joy sorrow that they have had.
 Nevertheless, when death comes to those love we grcye. We weep and sigh and express regrets and put on the dolorous hahnents of woe We sa, is sad the young and the beautiful cut down in the full promise of hope. Death makes ehud- der. We deem it a foe instead of friend to man kind and we cling to life as though would like to live forever.
 Death should not be looked upon enemy even if it is annlhiaton followed by o!livon. Is It not rather blessing? Oblivion and nothngnes@ are not to be dreaded Everyone ofus endure q a'ons of it before he was born. and have recollection that it was unpleasant. But to those who believe in hereafter of eternal happiness death should be something to be desired; and when they love dies it should be occasion for gladness, not for sorrow This the obvious, hackneyed reflection which you may hear at most funerals, hut though old it is worth repeating, once in a while, to keep In mind of our inconsistency and blindness.

 improbable, by the way. This means that the school board must periorce curtail their expenditures after adequate schools are provided, venture tn assertion that there will be very little left to hald to the city," It is fact that probably halt of the population of Nome and vicinity don't rap whether the schools are maintained or net; the other hal however, interested and they will prob ably to it that the best possible school service rendered. The expenditures for the maintenance of schools be reduced, and way is to reduce the number of schools This. if followed, would mean the elimination of the Sandspt school but each and every candidate for school director pledged himself maintain that school intact. Election pledges, how ever, often meaningless They made to "get in on" not 10 "ridc on" If we mistake not the new school board will have few problems to solve and trust that they will be solved in such way as to impair as little possible the present efficiency of the school system.

CITY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION,

The city council is pledged to 'retrenchment and reform' Being aliterative, the phrase sounds well; it has sonorous ring a few people who at tended a number of o-caed political meetings dur ing the "campaign' can testify. The city is bank rupt. We believe this term has been used before but # exactly expresses the actual financial condition There is little or no revenue, and the debt is con santly increasing City warrants offered at fifty cents on the dollar without many takers for the ctys financial condition is so uncertain that investments in these securities not at all uluring to the man with ready money. The police officer who receives p .alarv o, s!IY -cr month in city ~arr=u.. ,- c.,,,- peed to dispose ott.b hunt,,. fir just 5iu.haf tha, these promises at such heavey discount It is the same with all other officials. Ii they compelled raise money their salary warrants they fortu- nate if they get one half.
 The city of Nomes debt is approximately $50 000 and as we have said is constant, increasing The pile of debt is steadily accommodating The way to prevent this it seems us is decrease the expendi- lures. Nome is but q hamlet. therefore give it the government of hamlet. Nothing elaborate is need ed Nome does need, under the present financial stress high priced officials. It cant afford the lux ury If the town were in healthy financial circum- stances the best salaries would be order but seeing that it's pocket is depleted, necessity demands that the most rigid economy be had.
 The outlook for revenue in the future is not par ticularly bright. An important source has vanished altogether. The amounts to be derived from licenses and general taxation will fall below those of last year The sensible way for the new council to act would be to make careful estimate of its probable revenue and then to it that the expenditures are kept well within the receipts. This must be done or the town, incorporated community, might as we'll get out of business.

BY WAY OF SUGGESTION.

In the Arkansas state senate, q bill was recently passed making it unlawful for any person to drink intoxicating liquors a beverage unless such person shall first have obtained license dram-drinker. For license to drink intoxicants fee of five dollars year is charged by the state. Such law is cer- tanly novelty and its operation assuming that it passed in both legislative branches and escaped the gubernatorial veto--wIl be watched with unusual interest. Herein, also, is the germ of idea for Nomes new city council The town needs revenue and it needs it badly Let the wise of the coun- ell pass an ordinance Ordinances are easily passed, and 1t doesn't matter whether they will stand the test Of legality not) imposing fee of five dollars for q permit to drink whisky good many men in Nome indulge in glass or two at times; probably $1O0OO could be raised from this source alone. How many men with thirst would hesitate 10 pungle up five dollars for the privilege of getting outside quantity of hootch each year. It's great idea.
 Yet there may be not few met, even in Nome, who would object to wearing tag with the license number, or button to be worn on the lapel, where all the sober, cynical, non booking world may see. Certainly the holder of such distinction would be privileged person. but it may be objected to as "spccial and therefore, ultra vircs Now it may be that will arise and see, profess to sce in this a bad precedent, beginning o system Of licensing sesial vice which, once fairly started woul contlone
