New revenues must be provided to finance the public works pro- gram. Mir Roosevelt said. In this connection he said that repeal of the 18th amendment, now pending before the states, would restore former revenue laws which would yield enough wholly to eliminate these temporary re-employment taxes"
 MT Roosevelt estimated that $220,000 in additional revenue will be needed to service the con- templated borrowings for the pulp lie works program. But he did not make a specific recommendation for the form it should take.
 "A number of suggestions have been made as to the nature of these taxes" he said. T do not make a specific recommendation at this time, but I hope that the committee on ways and means, of the house of representatives. will make a careful study of the rev. enue plans and be prepared at the beginning of the coming week to propose the taxes which they judge to be the best adapted to met the present need and which will at the same time, be least burdensome to our people.

The funeral of Vim. (Billy) Me Kenna, old timer of this section took place last Wednesday from the Nelly undertaking pariors to |St. Joseph's Catholic Church where |a solemn low mass was said. After the funeral ceremonies most im- pressive and touching elegy was given by the Rev. Father Budde who dwelt on the Christian and pioneer qualities of the deceased, citing many examples of his gen. erosity and kindness. The church was filled to the doors with frie nds of the deceased. The body was followed by one of the larg- est eorteges seen for long time, through the streets to Belmont Point
 Billy McKenna was truly one of Gods noblemen. He was born in California about sixty-five years ago and came in on the Yukon about 1895. He was at Circle and all the early camps long before Dawson was struck. When Nome was struck. Billy came here and he has remained here ever since During his residence here he fol- lowed various vacations chiefly, mining. A year ago he became a member of the Nome Fire De- partment which position he heli until his death, which was 8 shock to the community as he was ailing but couple of days. His deata was due to a complication of dis ease following what at first was supposed to be ptomaine poisoning.
 He was a member of the Frat ernal order of Eagles and the Pio- neers of Alaska. Both organi z ations attended the funeral ip a body. The pail bearers and charge of the funeral was under the au- spices of the Eagles. Peace to his ashes and may his spirit find rest within the portals of inn mortality.

THE WORST THING

that ever happened to Jesus was not the attacks upon his character by his enemies, not his desertion and betrayal by his friends, it is not the division among his fol- lowers nor the theological contro- versies of the church. The worst thing that ever happened to Jesus is the indifference with which hs is left alone by a great multitude of people today It is the apathy, unconcern, lukewarmness to his message, that hurts, says Rev. Harding Gaylord, minister, West field Congregational Church Dan- ielson, Conn. Studdert Kennedy expressed the same feeling in the words:
 When Jesus came to Golgotha they hanged him on tree, They drove great nails thru hands and feet, and made Calvary;
 They crowned him with crown of therns, red were his wounds and deep.
 For those were crude and cruel days, and human flesh was cheap
 When Jesus came to Birming. ham. they simply passed him by, They never touched a hair of him. they only let him die
 For men had grown more tender and they would not give him pain. They only just passed down the stl eet, and left him in the rain.
 still Jesus cried, Forgive them for they know not what they do." And still 1t rained the winter rain
