Senator Overman, of North Carolina. Senator Dial, of South Carolina, and cbttajiu other members of Congress have announced that they will not take the cruise witih Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board, on the steamer Levia than. This fact has been established during the past several days in reports from Washington, the Senators and oth ers declining the invitation for the junk et they were informed that the trip would cost the government not less than one million dollars. During the past week or ten days much criticism against the trip has de veloped in every part of the country. Senators Overman and Dial were frank to admit that they did not approve of the trip, and their opposition has found general favor. The New York World suggested that if the Leviathan had to make this trip that the sailing party he composed of disabled soldiers and sailors. The sug gestion what that if the government has a million dollars to throw away on a pleasure cruise the guests should be crippled soldiers or sailors rather than uncrippled statesmen, politicians and civ ilians. The Salisbury Post believes “the truth of the matter is that the trip is without sound reason.” and we agree in this opinion. Maritime experts agree in the opinion that the Leviathan's trip from Newport News to Boston was all the test she needed. She stood that trip all right. Wliy spend a million dollars just t to please Chairman Lasker and a few of his friends? The chairman of the ship ping board has never made it quite plain as to why the trip should be taken, other than his early statement that the trip was to be in the nature of a test, and with experts declaring this is unneces sary. what is the real object? Nothing but a pleasure trip, at the excuse of the public. » A million dollars is not much as mon ey goes with the federal government, but it is just a million wasted here and there, as in this instance, that makes taxes so high in this country. THE HALF-HOLIDAY. For several years Concord merchants closed their stores each Thursday after noon during the summer months. The plan naturally found favor with the clerks, but for some reason the plan was abandoned last year and so far ns we can learn it has not been seriously consider ed this year. Most of the clerks are dis appointed. however, and are of the opin ion that but little business would be lost if the half-holiday were granted each •week. In explaining their views the clerks have talked along the sale line we find in an editorial, “Store Closing." from the gWe pea of Editor Julian Miller, of The Charlotte News: , grocerymen of the city. With re markable unanimity, have agreed to close their stores Thursday afternoops (hiring the Summer months in furtherance of the idea that “those who work therein are £ entitled to an afternoon of leisure dur p. ing the hot period. & 'fhe stand is commendable. It is in keeping with the |iew thought and the , nyu r experience that have attacked busi ness men and merchants generally with in these late years in turning more of their attentive thought to the well being of ffooset laboring tor them. & fornwrly wjtk Ifihe idea of nver cbontien that it was-their duty to keep |: their doors open just as loag as there K- was anybody on the streets. There was kji no concern in those times for the phy si • cal interests of the employes It was purely a money-grabbing, eut-throat son of a Competitive struggle, and the mer | c hant Sriio opened earliest and closed late ojt figured that he was destined to get all ME——a———————— that could possibly be coming to him. It is quite different now. Storekeep-; ers are discovering that their wellbeing! is largely intertwined with the morale of their clerical staff and that if those who work in the stores can keep in a content ed, pleased and loyal hmnor, it is worth more to the store than to keep its doors open continuously. That is the explany atiun of the shorter hours, the regular closings, and darkness in the adores Sat urday nights and a host of other diver sions aimed to produce within the ranks of the employed classes a better atmos phere and a great physical, social and moral fitness for their respective tasks. DEFENDS YOUNG PEOPLE Judge Baggott Says Bobbed Hair Makes the Girls Look Cute. Chuttanooga. June 15.—A storm of protest over the proposal to banish the “smiling face'" as the emblem of the Optimistic clubs and a characteristic ad dress by Judge Baggott, of the court, of domestic relations, Dayton. Qhio, fea tured today's session of the interiurtiohnl Optimistic clubs convention. Judge Baggott reproached people who are always criticizing the young for theis jazz music aud their bobbed lmir. saying that he thought the girls of to day are “the cutest looking things in the world with their short locks" and that a girl could not be called bad because she followed fifshion in dressing her hair. "There is too great a tendency in this world to try to make everybody else as good as we think we are,’" said Judge Baggott. “Why, a man in Kansas the other day tried to pass a bill prohibiting women over 45 using powder and rouge. (Veil, if a woman does not need paint and powder after she is 45, when in heave*'* name is she going to need it? “God gave Moses ten commandment*, which none of us keep, but the people of today have added five, to wit: "Thou shalt not dance. "Thou shalt not drink. "Thou shalt not got to the theatre, "Thou shalt not smoke. "Thou shalt not play cards. “God uever said a word about these tilings to Moses." Touching the divorce question Judge Baggott said tile two great causes of dis ruption of homes was "the frivolous headed woman who fed their husbands out of the delicatessen shop and are so lazy they cannot get up in the morning to prepare breakfast.” The business sessions were devoted to reports of the district governor, ail of which carried a challenge to the organi zation to adopt a nation-wide program of public service. Indications are that a hot contest is brewing for international officers.'the tight, being between a middle west city and one bordering the great lakes. Milwaukee is making a strong bid for the next convention. The question will be decided tomorrow morning. Greensboro Invitation Declined by Persh ing. Greensboro, June 15.—General John J.

GASTONIA OI'T AFTER LENOIR-RHYNE COLLEGE Plans Are Rapidly Maturing Into a Concrete Proposal for the Directors. ! Gastonia, June 15.—Plans for secur- i ing Lenoir-I’hyne College are being J worked out as rapidly as possible .by the j Gastonia Chamber of Commerce, strong committees being at work on details. When the preliminary work is completed j the board of directors will be able to place everything before the membership j aud there will be something definite tlo i work upon. Later interested people throughout the county will be called into conference. "While the days are passing and peo-1 nle are constantly asking what is being ! done," said an official of the chamber this morning, "work is going steadily | on. There are a number of matters to he worked out and some of them take time. { "It would have been an easy matter at the outset to call a big meeting and J get all sorts of resolutions adopted, but resolutions do not move colleges or ac complish anything else except make a noise unless there is something more definite back of the resolutions. "As quickly as details are worked out the public will be called into consulta tion and with definite facts in hand it will be easy to agree upon something that will get us somewhere. Confer ence* have been held with officials of tin* college and they are thoroughly fa miliar with what is being done.” Leave Pinchot Without Funds for Work. Harrisburg. I*a., June 14.—The "wets” in the House of Representative* today in the closing hours of the Legislature scored a victory over Governor *Pin chont’s dry law enforcement program. After the Senate had passed the blank et appropriation bill for, $82,1H»0,290. which it had amended to include the bat tle-scarred $250.00 item for enforcement, the "wets” in the lower house surged forward and by a vote of 107 to S 5 killed the item. The Senate then bowed to the "wet” sentiment # of the lower house by with drawing its $250,000 item, and as a re sult the state will have no money to enforce the Pinchot. dry law unless the governor can force an appropriation through a special session. dOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQOQOOGO&OOOOOOOOOOQQOOOOOOOOQOOOOOGOO 8 NEW VICTOR SONG HITS! j i 1 19020—Honeymoon Time ............

Beethoven was oily seventeen when his mother died. The loss that he felt was so great that it almost crushed him. For so long as he could remember he lmd all but worshipped? his mother. She had been for him the most beauti ful woman in all the world, the perfect example of womanhood. He was away from home when he heard of his moth er's illness, and at once he threw nside all his hopes to become a musician, left the tenehiug of the great musician. Mozart, and hurried to his mother’s bed where he fell on his knees in nn agony of tears. “Mother ! Mother!" he sobed. She could only reach out her and lay it on liis long hair in a caress that lie loved: - She died not long after lie lmd come to her. For the resj, of his life Beethoven, the master of all musi j cians that the world has- seen, remem bered that mother and felt her infiuence. Into liis great compositions lie poured her spirit, and again made her live. -Magdalina Liem had not found entire happiness in her marriage to the happ.v go-lueky singer, the father-of the great musician.. The first- days of love bald been-succeeded by days when bad temper held 'full sway. l The husband drank to excess, and taunted his wife that slie was beneath him. Sometimes he even beat his wife. At no time did he pro vide sufficient money. The son followed liis father’s and his grandfather’s love for music, but he inherited his mother’s sweetness of nature. Tn the last two years of the mother's life she won the reward of her tender love by finding in Ludwig a sympathizer and a defender. Tlir'boy earned the money liis drunken father would not earn. He defended his mother from brutal attacks. Thus they grew very close together, the motli er depending on the son’s support, and the son drawing from her love the in spiration ami the hope for life. For that high inspiration he cherished lier memory to his dying day. Next: The mother of Sir Isaac New ton. i INEXPERIENCED DRIVER _ ' JIUNS OVER TWO WOMEN Misses Mary Kinraid and Essie Glass.
