This paper has tried to draw at- tention for some time to the fact that Nome will have a hard task to keep its head above water and at last nights meeting of the city council the chairman of the finance committee an- nounced some figures which show clearly that the municipality will "be in the hole" at the end of the present fiscal year. In giving warning about this the Nugget was contradicted and even told that 1t was actually lying. The word lying was actually used but here we are now up against the very condition which was foretold.
 Nome has now about 33.ooo balance. The most 1t can. get from licenses Is 31o,o00. If 1t raises as much cty taxes as 1t did last year 1t will receive from this source about $21.00o. That means altogether ss4.ooo and that Is giving the receipts the best of 1t. But that sum has to meet an expenditure of about S40.000 which will leave bal ance on the wrong side of $6.000.
 This is a nice "how- do -you-do" for a municipality that had thousands Of dollars to the good a couple or three years ago.
 It would be the worst thing in the world to let education thing in the world to let education suffer for lack of funds. Education is the spark which ignites the light in the minds of mankind and that spark must be provided even If tho people must 20 down into their pock |. cts in the cause of education.

The arrival of Envoy Lind in Mex
 leo was certainly an event that was surrounded with that electric quality
 which is called dramatic. Had the
 Mexicans not been able to restrain themselves on his arrival and If they had insulted him there would probab- ,v have been nothing left to this coun
 trv but to declare war. Al 1t is the event passed of quietly. at least on the first day of his visit. and a very pr.at load must have been removed from the minds of the administration.
 The picture of Secretary Bryan waiting until the small hours of the morning for the news of Linos re- ception Is one that would do credit 10 the painter of dramatic scenes. A man in Bryans position feels the weight as outsiders cannot conceive. War is always bad but war with Mexico promises very little or no ad- vantage to this country. The acquisi- t;on of more Mexican territory would bring with 1t the governing of Mex ,cans and the United States has learned enough by its experience In the. Philippines to know that this would be very poor recompense for the loss of money and lives consequent upon a conquest of that republic.
 When President Wilson says that some secret forces have organized to bring about the war he probably knows whereof he speaks. There are some who fatten on war like carrion birds. They are not moved by the ennobiins sentiment of patriotism or even the desire for fighting but for the mere lust of gain. If for no other reason than to disappoint such people 1t s to be devoutiy wished that war will not come.

 All this should have been seen be- fore, however, and when we were told that Nome was in financial con- dition that might make the mouth or old Croesus water we were told some- thing that was not fact and now the truth Is out and the tax payers can see the matter as they have been ask ed to see it since the last city election by this paper.

MILLARD FILLMORE
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of cat Good old siwnsh."

Millard Fillmore was the thirteenth
President of the United States. This
was not unlucky for him, but 1t was
very unlucky for the twelfth President.
Gen. Taylor. who died after a year in
office, thus allowing Fillmore to succeed
him
Fillmore was born in New York in
1900. and in 1921 began the study OF New
York politics in Buffalo, where they can
still be investigated in all stages of de-
composition. He pursued his studies so
successfully that at the age of thirty
two he was A Congressman. In those
days. as now, IL was considered desira BILE
TO go after the New York vote. with a
Vice Presidential nomination for bait.
and in 1913 the Wings attached Fillmore
to the tail of the ticket, where he rode
in with considerable eclat.
When Fillmore became President he
discovered the country to be in a curdIed
and unsatisfactory condition. However,
he had the rare wisdom TO appoint Dam
iel Webster Secretary OF State. after
which he sat back and enjoyed the ride
exceedingly. Webster ran the country
with great skill. acquiring California and
surrendering gracefully TO the slave own
ers whenever necessary. When Fillmore
retire in 1883 he was considered so sue
cessful a President that he was encour-
aged to run again in 1856. on the ticket
OF a brand new party which was start
ing out with good prospects. He got a
number OF votes. but not enough TO JUS
tify the burning OF any barrels.

One Of the economic fallaces that dies
hard is the assertion sometimes heard
that the wealth Of the country is not
lessened by a shortaCe " crops or live
stock. NO matter ii the crop is small. q"
the holder Of the theory will say, the
price is higher so the money value of
the crop is as great. ii not greater. than
would be that OF a larger crop at a lower
price"
y horse and COW census was recently
taken in New York State and 1t is found
that there are 45,Oh fewer animals than
in 1903. but the vaiuo per animal has
so increased that the money value of
the reduced number is actually greater
than the money value Of the number
that existed three years ago. So some
optimist declares that thr wealth Of the
State in animals has really increased
1t is easy to see the absurdity OF that
claim. II 1t held good. the animal wealth
of New York might go on increasing by
reducing the number Of animals each
year until at last there would br but one
horse and one cow in existence a:d they
would be priceless. And then-but what
the use?
