MEET OF Y. M. C. A.
COMES TO A CLOSE.
Annual Session in Americus
Ended.
GREAT WORK is ACCOMPLISHED
Twenty-SeVenth Annual Convention
Ended With interesting Exercises
Last NIsht-Address of Or. Fisher
and Mr.. Moorman.of interest

The Georgia Young Mems Ohl istian
Association closed last night the 9th
annual convention of that organ'za-
ton. and the session in Americus goes
upon record as one of the most prof :
BILE and successful held in long nun-
Der of years.
The 1875 delegates have enjoyed their
stay in Americus, and the city is glad
to have had them.
A great deal of work has been accom-
plished, and the members leave this
morning for their homes over this
and other states in the consciousness
of duty we'll performed.
The meetings held on Sunday were
an inspiration to thousands Lere who
attended, aud the business sessions
during the past two days were of inters
est as well. These daily session 9
were ma ked by entertaining 1dresses
by the finest speakers in that body.
This was particularly true of the ses-
sion yesterday morning
The address of DR.. CSC. J. Fisher of
New York was magnificent presenta-
ton of the part that the Physical De-
partment has in d gveIoping all-round
manhood.
1t we'll demonstrated that the average
men of the cities are doing such light
work, trom physical standpoint, that
they do not get the amount of exercise
necessary to develop strong, hearty
manhood.
DR.. Fisher a. so showed very clearly
that the physical work helped to de-
velop the mental and moral sides of
manhood; that it developed O good
temperament, and thus aided in max
ing men strong in body and soul.
This is poor outline of DR., Fishers
address, and those who heard it con-
sidered 1t rare treat and quite a reve-
Iation of the wonderful Importance of
the physical work undertaken by the
Association and the part it plays in de-
velopment of strong character.
The address by Mr.. @. 81. Norman.
tri-state secretary, was also very in
structive.
The speaker demonstrated clearly
Why the railroads and other corpora
tions are considering the Young Mems
Christian Association as important q
part of their equipment as their rolling
stock or other machinery.
It is because, he said, it makes more
competent and trustworthy men, and
saves the companies large sums.
It is clearly evident that in the same
way the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation would make better employees for
the business men of any city, and
hence would bss profitable investment
for all.
In the afternoon interesting adj
dresses were made concerning the fol-
lowing subjects: The work to be done
outside the association building, and
the greatness of the association secre-
taryship rs calling.
Last nights session, the closing one,
was largely attended and most en-
thusiastic meeting. Many short but
spirited addresses marked this memo
rable occasion.

AN OBJECT LESSON.
Congressman Williams Bill
Amend the Tariff Law.

AS an object lesson to the voters,
Representative John Sharp Williams,
the Democratic leader in congress, has
introduced q bill to amend the tariff
law that would reduce the duties on all
articles wherever in the aggregate they
amount TO more than 100 per cent Of
TIA figure. He vas asked his motive
III doing so and If he had any real
idea that the bill could pass.
The president of the United States
as understand it," he said, puts bis
advocacy of protectionism upon the
ground that it is right and proper that
there should be q duty on imported
articles sufficient to make up the DIFF
ference between the scale of foreign
labor and a right American wage
standard. AS this is the last ditch, |
thought would see by the introduction
OF Il bill in this congress whether OF moi
1t was 4 pretense or a real conviction
upon the part Of those who use it as an
argument.
1t strikes me that the labor cost OF
no article will or can ever exceed It's
entire cost. l don't believe that any
will deny that proposition. have
therefore introduced a bill to reduce
the tariff duty wherever it is over NV
per cent to 100 per cent, thus leavinga
taxation condition under which IN
doubtedly not only the whole difference
between American labor and foreign
labor has been made up by a tax upon
the consumer. but where the entire IA
Dor cost has been taxed to the con
Sumer."
MIR. Williams seems to think that q
Republican who is sincere in his ad'
Vocacy Of the tariff upon the idea thai
1t really does benefit labor and that the
Justification for its existence is the
benefit TO labor must be satisfied win
d tax which includes the entire labor
cost of articles imported untnxed.

PRUDENTIAL POIcy Holders Get One.
third of What They Pay.
The great majority of those insured
in the Prudential Life Insurance com.
pany must have played a losing game
for United States Senator DRYDEN
president Of the company, testified that
u per cent Of the industrial policies
lapse within five years from the data
Of issue. The evidence of the actuav
Of the Prudential was more startling
for he stated that $2S7,0 900 900 had been
paid in for premiums, yet only 1921 900.
600 had been paid on policies. During
the same period the expenses of the
company, apart from the amounts paid
to policy holders, have been $4,000.
900. How much Of this vast sum was
paid to Republican committees for
campaign purposes or how much for
legal expenses" to handle Legislators
was not disclosed.
AS the policy holders have only re.
ceived one third Of the amount they
have paid into this company. no WOE.
der such an enormous percentage Of
the policy holders throw up their hands
and quit trying TO provide for their
widows and orphans.
The facts about the Prudential sys
tenn Of insurance should be advertised
widely. SO that tho poor and i.n0ran.
may know that there is only pne
chance in three Of their families ever
receiving any return on policies.
There are JUNIORS in New jersey Of
even greater scandals, connecting the
Prudential and It's allied companis
with the rotten Republican policies Of
that state, and the election of Dryden
as senator. without any special Qualif.
cations for the Office, would indicate
that the Republican machine and The
Prudential have an underground wire
connection. Life insurance, that should
be managed as a sacred trust, has be.
come the horse leach to bleed the pce
pie, with its managers in c~olluston
with depraved and corrupt politicians,
who have received their share of The
booty as q return for Legislative and
other protection.

Many states having not half the

nate chamber than the Empire
State and few il any states are so
lamely represented as il New
York. Senator Plat IS old, de-
crepit and bowed down with many
humiliations, the last of which
with it's tributary or radia,ing
scandals is enough TO make any
man retire from the Senate or
even from the world. He has
long since been without influence
