1T is to be most deeply regretted that
through the action OF our county court
this county is again to have inflicted upon
it the great evil OF the licensed saloon. a
curse that we had hoped was forever re-
moved. Messrs. Heflebower, Burns and
Miles have shouldered fearful respon-
sibility in putting this curse upon the
people when such large majority had
voted against if and petitioned that the
evil might not be inflicted. We can I'M
agine no compensation that can come to
them that will make up for the loss ofthe
respect of the people that must inevitably
follow such action. They have done an
odious thing, repugnant TO a great ma
iority of our citizenship, and the hilarious
commentator of a handful OF whiskey
sellers who have used them for so igno-
bic purpose is indeed small return.
SENATOR BAILEY of Texas has resign
ed his seat in the United States Senate
and Governor Colquitt has appointed Col.
r. M. Johnson as his successor for the
term ending March 4th next. Senator
Bailey emphasized his departure from the
Senate by making a forceful speech against
the progressive policies that now find so
mnch favor with the people, and bitterly
opposed such principles as the initiative
and referendum.
Senator Bailey is sad example OF a
good man gone wrong. Acknowledged
to be one OF the brainiest men who ever
occupied seat in Congress, he unfortu-
nately allowed himself to be enSnared by
the corporations as their counsel and
champion, and when he finally became
saturated with Standard Oil grease he
lost the respect and the confidence of the
people. Had he used his talents and
ability for the public good he would have
been easily one Of the great men of the
country.

THE extra session of the West Virginia
Legislature, called last week by Cover
nor Glasscock. ended yesterday. II was
entirely futile, as the Senate, which is
tie politically, refused to organize and
hence could transact no business.
The regular session began yesterday,
but several days will be given over to
jockeying. The Democrats say that
they will stand out for control Of the
Senate, as two years ago they yielded to
the Republicans under similar circum-
stances, and now they mean to have
their turn.

THERE is good deal of curiosity in
Virginia as to whether President Wilson
will favor the bosses who compose the
political ring in that State, or the reform
ers who fought outside OF the party breast
works. The bosses fought Mr.. Wilson
bitterly, as they did in West 'irginia,
and if takes vast deal of nerve for them
now to try to step in and steal all the
good things that are the just dues OF Mr..
Wilson'S real friends. 1t might be well
TO give an object lesson to crooked and
selfish politicians first thing.

RE Al VARIETY
Dill. PLEA5ES
At FORSYTH
Francis DooIey and Corinne Sales
Lead Funmakers at Vaude-
Vile House.
BY TARLETON COLLIER.

Time was when they called our
vaudeville shows variety and when
they essayed a little bit of everything
in a single bill of the two day 1t
was a recrudescence of those days of
orthodox, we'll balanced shows that
greeted the crowd at the Forsyth
Theater Monday.
The bill offers as much variety OF
entertainment as could be conceived
and most of it the light, really funny
entertainment that vaudeville pa
irons come to demand.
For a consideration of the show, 1t
is best perhaps to begin with Francis
Dooley and Corinne Sales, old &C
quaintanCes of Atlanta. Although
not billed on the boards as the
headline attraction, their act was
the one big hit of the first
night 1t is a Conglomeration of
singing and dialogue and funny bust
ness that is always attractive when
handled by capable comedians. There
is much personality in that pair.
The audience, too, split its gloves
and even yelled a little in applauding
the act of Herbert Williams and Hill
Ga WOlfus. Williams is a pianist
comedian, and. although he is a con-
siderable pianist, as he proves at the
last of the act, he is more of a come
dian.
There are two other musical acts,
one that of a Xylophone trio, and the
other that of Prince Lai Mon Kim,
the Chinese tenor, whose performance
is unique
Reno and Return" is the name of
a comedy sketch featuring Albert
Perry. divorced wife comes back
from the West with her prospective
husband to find that she loves the
eX-husband best after all The sit
uations and lines and acting all are
good
In variety's name much can be said
of Harry Lahore, typically English
entertainer, who has a wide assert
ment of magic tricks and juggling
feats, together with aCrobatic ability.
Nicks six roller skating girls are
advertised as the headliners of the
weeks bill. They have a spectacular
act, revealing exceptional adeptness
on the elusive rollers, although the
act is marred a bit, as usual with the
last act Monday night, by the de-
parture of inConsiderate members of
the audience.

ance whose loyalty is becoming solidi-
fed This weeks attraction will help
to strengthen the loyalty of the Lyric
patrons. The Bachelors Baby"
Francis Wilson's success, is a whole
some comedy, and at that a true
comedy.
The play tells the story of a COM
Portable, slightly selfish and cynical
bachelor whose nature abhors chill
dren. He is saddled with a little girl
by the will of his brother, and grad
ually is converted.
The company is capable. The big
success of the cast naturally is Mimi
Yvonne, the child actress, who plays
the part Of Martha Calvert Beach, the
lovable ward who makes the child
hater a more human and softer per-
son. She is really clever young per-
son.
Henry Buclller is the bachelor I'M
Gle, and is featured in the bills to-
gether with Mimi Yvonne. AS a
comedian he naturally fails to fill the
shoes of Francis Wilson, his prede-
cessor, in the role of Thomas Beach,
but he is an able actor at that.
The Bachelors Baby" will be at
the Lyric all the week, with mat
inees Tuesday. Thursday and Satur-
day

"Old Mexico" Pleases
Patrons of Columbia.

There is punch behind every
musical number in "Old Mexico, .
this weeks attraction at the Column
bia theater. At matinee and night
performances yesterday, large crowds
applauded Charlie Gramlich and
Helena Hall and the Broadway Broil-
ers, and gave their approval to the
three big vaudeville acts which make
up the olio.
without a doubt "Old Mexico" is
among the best offerings this season
at the Columbia. The olio features
are very good. Perry and Click in d
monologue unload a bunch of funny
jokes, stories and songs. Wilson and
Andrews do great act on roller
skates. Princess La Cell and her
posing models are doing a new and
artistic number.
