Southern politics and Harrison's pol

evil omen, but let US never make curses
out Of our own bad blood. and never
give our opponents an argument out OF
our own bad temper.
The Constitution is the charter by
which all temporary trustees and servants
Of the American people must act, and
when they violate it the Supreme Court
Is there to reverse the act OF Congress,
which is the only avenue by which a law
can be made or an abuse prscticed.
We know, no one does nOl-foi
the people do not remember their his

was the only barrier against the storm
of sectional hate that threatened to wreck
The country 10 the breakers.

people South and North anchor their
faith on that broad minded Americanism
that Is in the hearts of the people, and
will act II both parties will cease 70 take
counsel Of their passions. We know
there Is a fact upon which We can build
our houses, and that it is no. sand, but a
solid rock and that fact Is the family
tie In the American people that
was tied fast In past generations,
when our fathers asserted popular
freedom against the idea Of personal
monarchy; that every American citizen is
sovereign and the Government the
agent Of his rights and authority. That is
what we won by wal and what We must
maintain, and the brotherhood OF the
people has proved Itself the survivor Of
the bloodiest and most ruinous conflict OF
modern times.
Then let US appeal our local difficulties
to that grand and patriotic feeling Of ma

FRIDAY
PROTECTING ACTORS.

Mr. Lawrence Barrett Is an alleged
artist, and though he writes for maya
zines In the same week that he pro-
nounces the word spectacle as spec
tarkle." still there be men who think Mr.
Barrett Is an artist. He rushes to the
front now to explain that If the miher Is
protected so ought the actor to be pro-
tected and higher tariff put on foreign
talent This Is the first time, we hope
and believe, that art was ever put on
the same footing with digging cos!, and
we believe Mr.. Barrett Is entitled to the
honor OF originating the idea of putting
the drama on the level with the boot
black
For be says It. and be Is an lrishman-
sooth to say his name is Larry O'Bran-
nagan.
VIII the people stand this nonsense
from such a character, who disgraces his
art to the level OF padding and swindles
provincial towns with the advertisement
OF a show not given according to the
contract.
Here is what Larry O'Brsunsgan Bar
rett says
"That the law which protects the
American bootblack shall protect the
theatrical wage Garner.
"That the conditions which were not
found too hard to bear by those giants OF
The English stage whose genius was
uniyersal-namely. George Frederick
Cooke. Edmund Keen, the elder Booth,
William Maeready, Charles and Francis
Kemble. may not be thought too irksome
10 be borne by their distinguished sue
cessors.
"Under their instructions the actors OF
our early day were fOrmed-their meth
DDS fixed. No cry of incompetency was
uttered by those great souls, and The last
remnant of line of actors educated
under these influences Is now about ex-
hausted, with no hope under the exist
ing condition of things OF lineal hand
succeeding.
"a few years of this experience and
we shall truly find the American actor
relocated not to that hospitable ana cos
mopolitan capital "a thousand miles be-
yond the Rocky Mountains, but into the
cold and chilling embraces of the 'gaunt
wolf that bowls on Oonalaska's shores
THUS far we have been treading on
tolerably sure earth. The practical side
of any question can be fairly stated and
fairly understood even where opinions
differ widely. But this question has also
another aspect. 1t is question OF art
a question OF standards in art, and here
one must tread softly.
Where shall we find the standard
which no artist will question 2"
