HARRY CAREY AT FOX's.

marry carey has given local thea tergoers evidence of his skill in a number of photodramas during the past several years, but it is doubtful if he has ever presented a more ap- pealing and human charact than that of Blue Streak Mccoy" in the story of that title which opens a three days engagement this afternoon. 1t gives him an opportunity for his good humor. his human nature and his tense dramatic power. It is one of the best things seen at Fox's this season.

 All the world loves a romance. Likewise all the world loves the sort of music which clngs so consistently to ones memory that it is inevitable that will be whstlcd by everybody who hears it. These are perhaps the two best reasons why the Selwyns pro- duction of "Buddics'' ran for twelve consecutive months in the Selwyn theater New York, and ten weeks in the Selwyn Park theater. Boston, be- fore these producers had an oppor- tunity to offer other cities the chance to see it. At least the time has come when we shall see this delightful musical comedy, for "Buddies' will be the attraction at the Lyceum Friday night with the entire New York and Boston cast, chorus. company. special symphony orchestra and picturesque production.

 Straight for the cliff she was walk ing. She was asleep, the man who watched her knew. And he was no less aware that by mere inaction he could let her step unknowing to her death. It meant freedom to him, freedom to declare his real love to the woman he loved. Suppose chance had not brought him to the spot what then? He would have been un- able to save the woman who now was even nearer to the brink. Thus con- science fought with him-and Charlie Steele's conscience had never troubled him much. This is but one of the gripping, dramatic moments in The Right of Way
 Offering their second bill for the week, Orth and Coleman's Tip Top Merrymakers will be seen tonight and Saturday in their musical revue, "A Night at the Circus" Al Lemons, New, Britains own comedian and wooden shoe endurance dancer will have a leading part in this revue.

NEWEST GRIFFITH FILM
 AT THE PALACE.

Philosophers have argued at length against the proverb that clothes make the man, but it is an undeniable fact that very few South Sea Islanders &C., quire the dignity to match their de- voutness when they accept the Chris tian religion. Their personal appear ance make a ludicrous contrast with ministerial clothing no matter how serious they may be.
 D. W. Griffith has incorporated one of these characters in his latest pro- duction, ssThe- Idol Dancer which will be the attraction at the Palace thea ter beginning Sunday.

South Commits Another "Crime"

South Commits Another "Crime"
Once more the South is being pill
loried. 1t is being mercilessly bat
tered by Northern newspapers, not
for resorting to lynch lava favor
lite theme--or for proriteering in cot
ton-another favorite theme--or
even for monopolizing the seats of
the mighty but for defeating univer-
sal military training in order to keep
the negro youth out of uniform and
to prevent his becoming too pro-
ticient in the use of firearms.
To be editorially brow-beaten by
Northern publicists is a familiar ex-
perience for the South. That sec
ton has been guilty of innumerable
wrongs against the common veal
ever since it consented to the free
dom of the slaves and to a recon-
struction of its domestic life at the
hands Of benevolent carpet-baggers
and patriotic negro politicians.
1t has not been long since the
upon the South for having compelled
the country to accept constitutional
prohibition, that the Southern negro
might be kept sober. 1t was abused
for years because its representatives
in Congress by reason of superior
character, brains and experience had
seized the reins of government and
were debating the course of the
nation. 1t was abused because Of
its climate induced a Northern Sccrc-
tary Of War to locate most of the
army environments South of the OHIO
and Potomac rivers. 1t was abused
because it stood so long and so sue
cessfully in the way Of suffrage for
women.
Now it is being abused somc more.
A Democratic caucus of tho House,
presumably dominated by Southern
members, has blocked the passage
for the time being of q universal mil
itary training bill, a little national
defense luxury costing only about a

that the Southern Democrats cared
nothing about the cost of this system;
that they were not moved by any ma

but that they smashed universal
training simply because they revolt

lion or more negro youths each year
in the use of arms.
Such an argument may have had

cratic causus. 1t is not recorded that
the negro was mentioned ia the de.
bate or in the interviews which fol

ton has been raised by outsiders
the South has no reason for evadinl
it. The truth is, the thought of put

form and of giving him rifle and
side arms for any period, long or
short, does not appeal to the good
sense of the Southern people. The
experience of the South in reminding
the demobilized negro soldier that
after all he is still a negro and will
never be anything else, war or no
war, uniform or no uniform, has not
been such as to invite further adyen-
ture in that direction.
The fact, however, that those who
helped to make up the overwhelming
majority of the Democratic caucus
against universal training at least
half were Northerners, has made no
impression upon those who habitual-
ly visit all 'crimes" of government
upon the SOUTHPORT Myers Press.
