Quoted here, and who do not pay the
license tax Of not less than SOD nor more
than 5000. at the discretion of the author

myself some years ago q list of the
names Of some of these illegiti-
mates, but no action was taken,
tax of $500 a year to ire city for
the privilege of engaging in a business
which provides cash indemnity for the
destruction of taxable values. so that
revenue producing property may be re
stored Wnen destroyed, and the authofl-
ties appear to give every little attention
to the protection of those so licensed
to leSiumately engage in this business
Z For $50 a year city license may be Sc
cured to run bar room, and thsT
look carefully to see that no one engages
in the sale of liquor without a license. Is
it not the duty of the authorities to ar
rest all those who are engaged in business
without license, when the ordinances
expressly provide a license tax for con
Quoting that business?

PROSPERITY OF THEY. Nj. c. A.

In these days Of prosperity the Young
Mems Christian Association is, getting
its share. In referring TO the growth
No organization devoted specifically
to the welfare of youngf men is doing a
work comparable in its extent, thorough
ness and efficiency with that performed
by the Young Mems Christian AsSocia-
ton. The service it renders is charac-
tried by practically. keen business
judgment, and wise recognition of the
needs and demands OF The hour in the
education and training of young men.
II aims at the development of a robust.
cll-round manhood, the building up of
character founded on physical, mental,
moral and spiritual lldalthfulness, on
sanity and soundness of mind and body.
Its supreme aim is to fit men for any
and all duties to which they may be
called in the far-reaching and complex
relations of modern life. 1t is because
OF its practical aims and wise purposes
that the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation has enlisted the Hearty sympathy
and generous support CT the most pro-
gressiye and wide-awake men of the day,
of large employers of labor and the heads
of great and powerful industrial and
commercial enterprises. How genuine
this interest is many be judged in part
by the magnificent financial support
which the association is receiving in the
shape of endowments, beauests and other
gifts. The associations throughout the
United States alone are preparing to
spend nearly s6,0Do,0eo III new buildings
III the near future. costing all the way
from $4,000 TO $S0D.0o0 each. At thirty
three railroad points buildings will be
erected to cost $sG2.0o or this amount
the railroad companies have contributed
Ss57, 900. AT least one new building a
week will be opened curing the next
year. Newark, n. T., VIII soon have its
$4,000 building completed; New Haven,
Conn. one costing nearly S300, oo0:E Scran-
ton, Pa, $3.50, 600 Last year the Sioux
Indians in the Dakotas built eighteen
log buildings for Young Mems Christian
Association headquarters, and a large
work is being done among the colored
people, North and South in Cuba, Porto
Rico. India. China, Japan, and through
cut Europe.
Our Association in Richmond is not
tagging behind. 1t has recently raised
a considerable sum of money to lift it
out of debt and put in ,leedful improve
ments. and its work was never SO pros
porous. But it has not yet received all
the money it needs. AID contributions
are. still in order. Richmond is fairly
revelling in prosperity, and some Of our
surplus should be turned in this direc-
ton. Tho money could not SO to bet
ter cause. If we DO not take care OF
our young men. the devil will take care
OF them. There is no doubt about that.
