Statis tics given out by the local real estate exchange showed that stores former ly occupied by beer saloons, which became vacant on May 1, are filling up rapidly, while second floor places and upper floors of office buildings that were used for locker club quart ers are being taken by business con cerns that pay just as much rent as the tenants who were forced out of commission by the new dry laws. Many a prohibition prophecy of disas ter, used as a bugaboo during a cam paign, disappears when the laws go into effect "like mists before the ris ing sun."

Hun dreds of persons came here today in three special trains from New York and marched from the railroad sta tion to Sagamore hill four abreast to pay their respects to Col. Theo dore Roosevelt and assure him of their support in the event of his nomination for the presidency. The marchers, headed by the Seventh regiment band sang "The Army and Navy Forever," and other popular airs. We imagine the New York hus bands are behind that women's gar ment strike. At any rate, they are be hind it, if they have a particle of gray matter in their domes. "And Let His Beauty Bo Upon Us." The Progressive Farmer. To help make the world a little more beautiful ia dot only a human - privilege, but ought to be regarded as one of the highest expressions of the religious spirit. "Consider the lilies," urged the Master, and then showed His own love for the beautiful things of earth; showed with what apprecia tion He had watched the blossoming colors about the farm homes of Ju- dea, by adding that "Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these!" J -s. V ,To keep and beautify a garden was the first task given to man; and the God who not only eovers the summer world with flowers and in autumn, makes tha whole earth almost like one , huge: boqnet, but also gives us . the glory of sky and sunset and '"Night ". vast with her stars." He must also will that we should live daily with eyes ever open for the beauty with which He has sought to surrround us. , Every really devout soul must echo the prayer of Moses, "the -man of God," in the wonderful 90th Psalm ; "Lef jhy Work appear unto Thy servants and Thy Glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the Lord, pur God be upon us. Cannon is Bold By Teeth and Dis- Popular Mechanics.

I he embarrassing inconvenience commonly experienced in a sleeping car are done away with in a recent- the June Popular Mechanics Maga zine. The car provides' all berths with room in which the passenger may stand upright while drcssinsr or undressing. The portion of the mat tress and spring under each pillow is made separate from the rest and so hinged at the end of the berth that it can be turned up and out of the way. In the lower berth this leaves a space at the head of the bed which the passenger ran enter by opening the hinged end of the seat; here he can disrobe while he is standing upright and hang his clothes, full length, at the end of the hinged section which docs not ex tend quite to the side of the car. Vhen undressed he gets into bed and then turns down the hinged sec tion and puts the pillow in place. The upper berth is arranged similarly the head being at the opposite end. Over the foot of the lower berth hangs a narrow platform, inclosed except at the aisle end, to which the upperberth pessenger easily mounts by opening the hinged end of the seat and using a step supplied by the porter.

Washington, May 28. Twenty-six of tlie nation's foremost men, includ- ign capitalists, philanthropists, pub Heists and leaders in independent thought, announced today that they would launch ' an independent move ment for the re-election of President Wilson. The initiative has been taken by a group of men who exercise a great deal of influence in public affairs, who are leaders of independent senti ment rather than thick and thin ad herents of any party. . Progress and Justice Win. Winston-Salem Journal. Justice and Progress won another victory over the Oppression and Standpatisra in ashington yesterday when the Senate Judiciary Commit tee voted to report favorably to the Senate the nomination of tarns 1). Brandeis for Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. This action on the part of the committee should strengthen trie faith of the people in democracy. For time it looked like the special interests, men who would make the government the benefactor of a few instead of the servant of all. had won a viftory that they had succeeded in their efforts to! keep this champion of the people off of the Supreme Court, where his serv ices are most needed. But a favorable report of the committee should mean the speedy confirmation of Mr. Brandeis' appointment. However, a long drawn out fight on the floor of the Senate is expected. The men who are opposing Mr. Brandeis are going to die hard. It has ever been thus. : T III i CASE OF.

FARMHAND CHARGED WITH t MURDEK ,0P WOMAN. Gustavo Porsson to Bo Triad for the Murder of Employer'. Wife. Dedham, Mass., May 27. Charged with the murder, .on April 18, of Mrs. Annie Pearson, the wife of his employer at Neeham, Mass., Gustave Axel Persson ,a farm hand, will be given a hearing in the district court today. The accused man claims that while examining a revolver in the Pearson homo. Mrgi Pearson tifed to take the gun from him, and that its explosion was accidental. Op posing this, the police claim that at least two shots were fired, and that two other eatndgos m the gun fail ed to explode. Immediately after the deed Pen- son disappeared. He was located working on a farm at Raynham, Mass., and was promptly arrested and charged with murder. The mur dered woman's husband ia a brick layer, and he hired Persson to run the farm while he followed his trade, On the day of Mrs. Pearson's death. a passerby saw the hired man Icav. ing the house by a window.

TO A COMMUNITY . -r; - - ' - . 4 II II LOBBY The city that does not regard ita young men as its largest asset is apt to find them its heaviest liabil ity. Our North American citizens have come to realize this fact and have been taking steps to converse and develop the young manhood of our nation. In many places they have decided upon the Young Men 'a Christian Association aa the agency best adapted to do this work so that today no North American city is considered complete without a mod ern well equipped Association Build ing. . , . .' , . i For a number of yeara "our citi zens have felt the need of a Young Men's Christian Association in Con cord, and from time to time in the' past, this question has been discuss ed. Only recently, however, has this movement assumed.; definite form, and the time has now come when the citizens of Concord must act As previously stated in these, col umns, the Executive Committee , ap pointed at a recent Mass meetinjv to devise ways and means for the pro motion of this work in our city, and has determined td conduct a Finan cial Campaign for $35,000 from May 20th to June 2nd. After a careful consideration this committee decid ed that, this amount waa thh mini mum necessity to provide an ade quate building for Concord, and they we a"e filmost gripped son V ' f ! are some ; c r : ' f- : have dctrmined to let the people of Concord say whether or not they de-' sire such,, a building. , In order to reveal the possibilities of sueh an equipment as is impos ed, a lew views of other Association Buildings are here presented ; The purpose of the Ypnng Men's Christian Association is to make men thoroughly Christian. A man is composed of body, mind and spirit, the Association ; program provides for those factors and features nec essary to deal with the three elements of a man 's nature. : Hence the well equipped Young Men's Christian As sociation provides a gymnasium and swimming pool to develop men's bodies. Educational class rooms and class halls to- develop men 's mind, and facilities 'for Bible classes and religious meetings . which ' develop men's spiritual natures.1 Aa man is a social being and his social rela tions are an important factor in de veloping his character, the Young Men's Christian Association pro vides adequate facilities for young men.. - ..,. , Tha Social Center. ' One of the most, important feat ures of the modern Young Men's Christian Association Buildings is a Lobby or Social Center.- - When the .evening falls over the eity hundreds" of young men with strong social features are 'released from work that, haa been trying, perhaps meaningless. They, are tir ed of the monotonous strain and are eager for social amusement. Before them ia the night. , Shall it be an evening of joy and gladness, of fel lowship and improvement; and to us "Bleep that knits np the raveled edge;'? tf shall it be a night of sin and shame, followed by : the "broken sleep of a nerve racker. It all depends upon what kind of pi aces of social amusement are offered. The Lobby of the Association Building ia a social center for the young men of the city. Here all young men are welcome, and one can find compan ionship and social life of the right kind .every night in the year. ; i -' . x Th Oymjualnm. '.-V ,; y Health is one of the first essentials of success in life. A lowered physi cal vitality means less energy for work, and less joy in life." It also means a greater liability to the at tack of . disease and legs resistance to overcome temptation. ' The" Asso ciation Gymnasium is a "Hull of Help," it prepares men for the work of life, it fortifies them against dis eiise and it strengthens them to ovcr emue tenv f.'ii' 1. . . - i !' ' most pleasant form of exercise all of the year round, and it also makaM possible the teaching of everyboy in the community how to swim, By do ing it is the means of saving scores of lives each year. - , J Educational Work. '-' . Less than two per cent, of the men of our, country , finish college, .only six per cent, finish high- school, Aonly eighteen per cent, complete grammar school. Seventy four- per "sent, of our men between the battle of life are without adequate mental train ing; most of these are compelled to leave school early in life in order to become bread winners. "' The Asso ciation furnishes an opportunity ; to these young men and boys to sup plement their education by studying at night.' In such educational class es over 75,000 were enrolled last year. , . ; A reading room containing .the best current literature and. a libra ry of standard and popular books is also a feature of nearly every As sociation Building. ' - t Tha Dormitoriea. y The largest feature of. the modern Association Building is the. Dormi tory. Thousands of young men who are away from home, find in the As sociation Building "A Foster Home'' and in many cases these rooms are furnished with double decked beds, so as to make the rent exceedingly reasonable, and thus, enable - the average young man to secure a com fortable room with the best envir onment and all conveniences - at a moderate cost. J-V'i,-'''Ccs''v;Hft-''T: Work for Bdya. .. vj." .' Perhaps the' most vital wort of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion is its work for boys between the ages of ten, and eighteen. The greatest waste of the world ia the waste in boy life; : It is. estimated, that one tenth of our boys arf more or less criminal and that one half of them make a failure of life. The reason is that their energy is not properly directed during this forma tive period. All authorities agree that ninty nine per cent, of those who go wrong, would, not have done so had the simple method of preven tion been applied, rather than the plan of curing after the boy had jfone' wrong. The Association through its sochil activities, its gymnasium, its' camps, its hikes, and outings, as well an its religious work, properly directs the energies of young boys and eaves them by' applying the method of prevention. - .
