(Special to the Nugget)
In view of the antics of Adolph j
it is well to recall 'that such men
ihave been known heretofore.
The household words of history
prove that they did not turn out,
well in the long run.
Pharoah, eager for the indus
trial expansion of Egypt, round- j
ed up a weaker nation and put it
to work in the brickyards, and
carrying the hod. He made fair
promises, changed his mnd, set
a pursuing army in motion to
bring the former prisoners back
to the job, and had his forces
wiped out in the Red Sea. The
plans of the King of Babylon
weTe much like those of Pharaoh
but one evening a ghostly hand
came forth against the wall of
the banquet chamber and traced
the Characters that spelled his
doom.
It looked at one time as tho
Europe might become Mohamme
dan, but an active man called
Charles the Hammer appeared
on the scene, and the Moors had
to be content with leaving be
hind them a few beautiful build
uigs as memorials of their fail
ure to get their own way. Re
garding Napoleon, it is necessary
'Only to note that, stripped of his
power, he died in banishment on
the island of St. Helena, May 5,
1821. Kaiser Wilhelm, once re
garded is the arch aggressor, but
in the light of what has happen
ed since bis retirement, appear
ing no worse than mildly over
i mbit :ous. sits quietly in Hol
land. his earth-tired eyes turned
toward the after gi ..v c-f a depart
td day.
Mr. Hit! r is rc‘ interested in
biblical history ard has written
his own b-ble. Indeed, he does
not appear to have profited much
bv history- of any - rt, at least
o far as learning mething from
the wind-up .of >rs political an
c stors in international cr'me is
concerned; yet as Patrick Henry
Ra d of Geyge III, he “may pro
fit by their example.” The ex
pansion fever has laid low a good
sized company of rulers, and
there is no recognized remedy by
which the progress of the dis
ease can be checked in the pat
ient, once it has acquired a Arm
hold; but the Leader seems to
hink that he has been inoculat
d against the a'ment and has
no.hlng to fear.
Passing from consideration of
‘.he world’s Problem Child to af
f3;rs of a more clearly local na
ture, the President in a message
to Congress says that there is no
necessity for raising the limita
tion at present governing the na
tional debt, but that the limit
set on the bonded indebtedness
should be made more elastic. The
message was in the nature of a
concliatory beckoning gesture to
ward those of the legislators who
have come to talk openly about
the need for economy. It is pro
bable that what might otherwise
have been an unpleasant conflict
has been averted.
The Roosevelt boys have step
ped out into front page news.
James, it is said, has been made
party to a suit by the Depart
ment of Justice, to restrain mon
opci' istic conduct in the motion
picture industry’; which means
nothing at all, since anyone can
I be sued, and it is likely that
James has not been at work long
| enough to know what it is all
' about.
Elliot is reported to be out for
Mr. Gamer in 1940, and refers to
him as the leader of the conserv
ative branch -of the Democratic
party. This by no means disposes
; of the third term problem, since
1 there is no indication that Elliott
has been guided by fireside hints.
It is a family characteristic to
speak openly and without aprom
string restraint.
Income tax collections are run
ni.ng behind those of last year,
bv 3bout one quarter. Some stat
istics for 1937 have been pub
lished from which it appears
that during that year the United
States h3d but one person whose
i"come was more than 5 million
dollars. From 1934 to 1938 no one
admitted an income of that fig
ure. The Treasury believes that
CHIPS FLEW FAST when Champion Axemen M. C.
barker (lelt) and W. Johnston competed at Invertai _ill, N. Z.
at present there are less than 50
having an income of more than
a million. That is bad, but those
who cleaned up no more than a
hundred thousand will get along
scmehow, since the suffering due
to the winter season is about
over.

Two Kinds of Claims
.. It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim; If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.
