CONCORD—THE MUSIC CENTER For years. Asheville lias been rec ognized ns the leading musical center ill the state. The musically inclined of that city were enterprising enough to expend time, energy and money to bring a really worthwhile perform ance to that city. The result is the Asheville Music Week, when the peo ple of that community, and the entire state, are privileged to listen to world famous artists. Concord is rapidly coming to the fore in music and bids fair to become th premier small city musical center of North Carolina. Certainly, no oth er city of Concord's size or even lar ger has*put oil in recent years any i numbers which are comparable to the ■Frieda Hempel concert and the An- : dreas Parley performance. Concord has shown that she is in a class to herself. Certain it is also, that- no other city In North Carolina has had, within the brief span of one week, two such eon certs as were listened to in this city ! last week by large audiences. Mrs. Wagoner's program, presented entirely from her own compositions, stands unique in the history of the state. It is safe to say that never be fore has a similar offering been made in either of the two Carolinas. Mrs. AVagorter's numbers proved to be of vital interest to the people gathered to hear her. The other event of tile week came a few days earlier when W. R. Odell presented two visiting artists of Out standing merit for his yearly recital on the Odell Memorial Organ at For est Hill Church. A capacity house greeted the performers and showed itself to be a rarely appreciative audi ence. As Jong as the present trend in giv- , , ing the public an opimrtunity for in , creaped appreciation of music con tinues, Concord will indeed be a for tunate city. LaEbtLETTE GIVEN FINE RK • >»/ CEPTION. Regular Republicans must have de cided they made a serious mistake in rea(ling from the party former Sena tor LaFollette and other progressives. Tin* present leaders of the G. O. P. in Congress ate adopting another system —thfey are giving the present Sennator LaFollette full recognition although he warns them in advance that the poli cies of his father are to be his policies. Youhg LaFollette has been given membership on three Senate commit tees niW it was from two of these com mittees that his father was exiled. Monitor LaFollette will serve on the comtnitteos no doubt, but he will sit as a progressive and not as a regular. <, We, have thiveouviction that the Re publican leaders are not going to bring Senator LaFollette around to their mariner of thinking and acting. He i wttslMSeteil by progressives ami he is J gonffcjb stick to, the policies advocat . ed by his father and sponsored by his I constituents. The Republicans can ! cater to him all they want to: they can give him committee appointment, and all sorts of things but in the show down he will be a progressive, a free thinker and-« free actor. HANDICAPS WORK OF MIS SIONARIES. Missionaries in China are demand ing that Christian nations practice their faith in dealing with the Chinese. This has never been done and because of this fact the missionaries are find ing it rather difficult to make proper headway with their teachings. The stronger nations have taken ad vantage of the Chinese and so long as Ihey keep this up the work of the Christian Church will be handicapped. It is practically impossible for the American missionary, far example, to teach a doctrine of equnl rights for ally when the United States, a strong nation, agres to international laws that oppress China, a weak nation. We are big enough to get along without allowing our subjects to take advantage of the ignorant Chinaman. International law as to tariffs and ex tra territorial rights have been ad vantageous to nations wjrose subjects deal with Chinese subjects. The fact that China is ignorant is more reason why we should protect her. TODAY’S EVENTS Wednesday December 16, 1625 Anniversary of t'iie Boston Tea Party.

Statesville Daily. ‘■There has never been a panic in this country that was not brought oil by the misuse of credit,” the man aging director of the National Asso ciation of Credit Men declares. Which same has foundation, as easily understood. In times of pros perity credit is easy and is misused by over-extension. Because credit is easy the disposition is to take long chances. If all goes well all Will be well. But presently, from some cause, and the over-extension of credit may be the eatise, there Is a drawing in. a tightening up. as a matter of safety if for no other reason. The trouble begins and dis aster follows. In good times;- when Credits are easy, the temptation is to gamble in the way of'investments. In many instances the gamb:e means loss even if the credit continues easy. But when the tightening up begins the penalty for the easy credit must be paid; ami ofteii the penalty spells ruin. After the con traction era has passed thy same pro cess begins over again. There need not be cycles of expansion and con traction if credit was kept within reasonable bounds. But as that is next to impossible, but the cycles will always appear in greater or less de gree. Loyalty.
