That the Coneord Young Men’s Christian Association belongs to every one in Coneord to a greater extent than any other association in the South belongs to any other citizenry is a fact we believe. The Coneord aasociatich is uiiiqiic in that every one can enjoy its priv ileges. In most cities the facilities of a Y are open only to the members. In [Concord every one who is interested enough to use the facilities : s consid ered a member. For tiiat reason more than any other, we contend, the peo ple should support it. The Concord Y. M. O. A. has done its greatest work, nr at least its most unique work, among boys and girls who can not afford to be members, i The employed boys’ classes of various kind have opened a new world to cot ton mill employes and best of all the , classes have proved to these boys that - Concord citizens as a whole are inter | feted in them. V More than 300.000 persons, we are | told, visited the Y. M. C. A. here dur ' ing tlie past year. We do not mean. I of course, that 300.000 different per sons used the association’s equipment, it means that more than 300.000 pLyisits were made, to the Y' by Concord people. That alone is snflieient reason p Av-its maintenance. If the associa oSHpn were open only to members the j&vtotal would not have been half as fglarge. Every form of wholesome amuse ipSjnent is offered at- the Y\ and at the I-’sjthie time there is a Christian ntmos | .phere that cannot be denied. During L‘, the phst year the association secre- Bftthrie* ©rgatrssed “Our Sunday (Jang.” Ik designed to create among the youug- L er boys of Concord a keener interest s? in Church attendance. It is the con p, tention of the secretaries that the boys : , W or at leaßt a majority of them, will I t become more interested in Church ae-1 ft tivities if they are prevailed upon to j ? attend Church. Members of the B “gang” are attending Church and in ! If addition they are taught to take their J Church teuchiugs with them into their |r daily lives. ; That the Yis a community center j ■ Ss a fact that cannot be discounted. K There is no other central meeting i* place; there is no other agency within i the city that is used by such a variety I ,of .’interests. The dining room of the I, Yds constantly in use: its kitchen lb**4l}ifVUent. its tables and chairs and E. otbetr equipment nre borrowed by ev- j & ery ether organization in the city. | I'.

Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale, one of j | the great economists in the country, j figures that prohibition has saved the | country six billion dollars ■ annually , I sineo the adoption of the eighteenth ! 1 amendment. The national income in 1910, he says, was 66 billion dollars. At least two-thirds of the nation’s j wages and profits were produced in; the wet areas, or more than 33 bil-j lions. “Applying the minimum esti-! mate of ten per cent., we calculate j that at least three and a third billions j should be added to our national pro- j duct ion simply through the release of j human energy and skill.” He esti-! mates that a similar amount is saved j in addition by transferring our ener-, gies from alcohol production to “some-1 thing possessing true value.” “This double gain, that through the , transfer of energy and that through j the increase of energy arc together, therefore, over six billions —without counting any savings in the cost of j jails, almshouses, asylums, etc., or any j economic savings from reducing the ' death rate.” As proof of this increase. Prof, j Fisher turns to the facts of our earnings. He finds that the “real” wages of labor per hour, after making all due allowances for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar, ifi creased over 36 per cent, between 1010 and 10*25; “also that most of this j sudden improvement came immediate |ly after prohibition.” An interesting fact is that between 1802 and 1010 the fluctuations in "real” wages never j exceeded four per cent, above or below J the average level for these 28 years, except in 1807 when it was nearly 7 per cent, above. likewise, beginning) with 1020, real wages have remained ! as uniformly close to their new aver- i age. This level is 32 per cent, above j the old. “In other words, with the coming of j prohibition, wages suddenly rose from j the old level, which they had kept j without much change for over a quar ter of a century, to a new level a third , higher, whefe it now is.” “Personally,” said Prof. Fisher. “T am inclined to believe that prohibition has saved and added much more than the six billions which I have estimat ed as a safe minimum.” Hi* therefore conies to the conclusion that “if pro- i hibition enforcement cost us a billion a year, it would he well ■ worthwhile j purely as an economic investment.” OUR Y. MkX. A. SECTION TODAY The Tribune today prints a six-page section showing the activities of ('on cord's Young Men's Christian Associa tion. one of the very best and most , active Associations in the whole coun try. The many activities of Mr. Blanks and his live secretaries, Messrs. Denny and Johnston, make the "Y” indeed a "map of busy life.” and a thoroughly wholesome life at that. To- j day marks the beginning of the Y. M. A. drive for funds to supinirt it. and if you read the six pages of live matter concerning the work of the "Y” you will not fail to be a liberal contributor to this fund. “Did you enjoy the bachelor dinner last night, dear?” "Oh. yes: rather slow affair, though.” "And who were the bachelors named Mazie and Beatrice who wrote their j names on your shirt bosomV” "Strayed—One Jersey heifer.

Kerr and Abernethy j For It. ■ Jonathan Dame's in Raleigh News & Observer. j Washington, May S.—No Dem >- crat can consistently vote for a bill | which is based on high tariff legisla : tion. Representatives E- W. Pou and iA. I.*. Bulwinkle told member* of the North Carolina delegation last night at an executive conference on the I Haugen farm relief bill. Representative Pou and Represent ative Buhvinkle pointed out that one of the main purposes of the hill is "to protect domestic markets against world prices and assure the maxi mum benefits of the tariff upon agri i cu’tural commodities.” The meeting last night was mark ;ed by vigorous opposition and sup -1 port of the measure which has been • unanimously endorsed by a flood of '.telegrams from back home. With : Pou and Buhvinkle leading the fight ! against the measure. Representatives John H. Kerr and C. 1.. Abernethy j and Senator lx*e S. Overman led the j talk in support of it. Pou and RiH l winkle called attention to a provis ! ion of the bill which give* the Presi ; dent the extraordinary power, once I a surplus in a basis agricultural j commodity ha* been declared, to is- I sue a proclamation making it "un lawful to import into the United States any such commodity, deriva- I tive or substitute, except under each regulations and subject to such limitations as the President may prescribe.” v These two futures and the etpiali ; zati'on fee proviisiou wen the three [points around which discussion <*hief |ly centered. Advocati* of the bill in is'.sted that the equalization fee might ' never have to b<* collected, as p-rice stabilization would be secured during ! the two years before it got* into | Opponents of the measure predieted revolutin* among the farmers of North Carolina when they are re quired, to pay a fee of from -S5 to , S3O a bale on every bale sold. Even the advocates of the bill to ; day were considering amendments !to eliminate or postpone the collec tion of the equalization fee. One j plan is to add an amendment making iit three year* instead of two before the fee plan is put into effect. Another plan i* to eliminate it alto gether and provide funds complete ly from the Federal treasury. Today following the meeting the ; delegation was widely split on the measure. Only Pou and* Bulwinkle i were definitely counted in opposition to the hill. Overman, Abernethy, Kerr. Hammer, Lyon and Weaver were definitely counted for it. Wnr reu stated that tin* disliked several j provision* of the bill and was still j studying it. Houghton declared he was “agonizing” over it.

Mr. Blalock puts little stick in diversification and reduction of acreage. “The farmers of this country.” Mr. Il'ahcjc wrote, "have been so fed up on promises from Washington that they are just about in the right mood for a ehunge of diet, and to accept the Haugen bill as- a 'gold brick.’ as you choose to Vail it. in i stead of the t'ongre-wional stone’ j that lias been handled them from time immemorial.” “Vest I’orkrt” Motors May Set New Speedway Record.
