The protest* which are being offered not* against taking the live* of those gunman In New York the product of lawlrnane** and wickedness In higher pi goes- la an expression of this great fesltng of revolt against what the Sat urday Evening Post call* the "ln equaJitie* and maladjustment* from which many people suffer unjustly and by which other* unjustly benefit " In the name overwrought vein of In tense sympathy for those who keenly suffer these maladjustments," Mr. J-Incoln Htefftns halls with triumph “a little piece of big news" which hap pened In Chicago. The news a* briefly stated in one of the new ape pare waa this: “A young woman mole fifty dollar* from a department store, and admitted that she had taken the money. The verdict of the Jury, in effect, waa that tha guilt of department store In pay ing leas than a living wage waa greater than the guilt of the girl who stole rather than do the other thing Hence having the leaaer guilt, the girl waa not guilty at all." This Is aJI nonsesnse; a theft Is a theft, whether or no there are ex tenuating drmugtances and the de cision »l a Jury does uut alter that fact. |t brilliant and influential men and won en would hold their *>tnpa thlea to the task of reforming the un cial system in way* that do not offer resistance to our law*, they might sue • ead In doing real good but they can on ly spread disorder and confusion by breaking down the law.

When it become* weakened and Inef fectual, a* it will when Jurte* take such liberties with It, the maladjustment* and Inequalities which create suffer ing and oppression on one side and benefits and prtveleges on the other will be all the greater.

CHAPTER TWO—-THE SENSITIVE MOOD. upon tier, where human beings dwell a* cramped and as imprisoned as I These are the days when 1 rebel at the hideous wall paper, scratched woodwork and stained, worn carpet. This is the mood that calls out to my artistic girl self, and together they point out the cheap oak dresser in derision, and the topsy-turvy, humpy looking couch that Is supposed >o make the room like a sitting room in the day and a bed room at night. The rocker that, sags when you sit In It, and the floors that creak when you walk; all are enemies to my Sen ■itlve Mood; sad the mirror which makes your face look like a large, bio tty smear, with two nose and four eyes, are all enemies to my Sensitive Mood. At night I can forget the wall pa per In the darkness, I can turn a deaf ear to the noises across the way, I can refuse to he crippled for life by the humpy bed couch llut in the morning, If my Kensitlve Mood Is still with me, the boarding house breakfast confronts me with terror. 1920 Minstrels the Big Event of the Year b?vrrything I* forgotten today to make room for thinking and talking about the 1920 Creator Minstrels. That I* the topic of the moment. We'll have to hand It to that show. Mr. James Matthews, president of the Club, and Mr. Matt O'Connor, bus iness manager, are Ivy-crowned heroes today. Kyery seat In the house was sold out two days before the performance and nearly all of them went In two hours after the opening of the box office. When the, curtain went up on a long flight of steps the whole width of the stage, decorated In green branches and red lights, the effect wa* so pleasing that the audience burst Into applause. The troupe ramc In In single file from both sides. They were dressed ns college students, In white sweat ers with 1920 In red letters in front, white hats with red ribbons, white shoes with red socks, black face* and black trousers. The scene represent ed the Exterior of Cheraw I'niver *lty. After the opening choruses, tho au dience got a big laugh out of the ap pearance of the first end-men, Judge W I>. Irvin (no other than the Re .order himself), who look the part of Professor of :m dny-ology In the uni versity. and Mr. Henry tJardner, Pro fessor of Sktn-ology The latter made one of tho big hits of the evening with tils song. "Down in Chattanooga." which encored twice. Ills appearance was comic in the extreme, he looked like about two yards of sphagetti. Judge Irvin, of course, is built along more serious lines as to the figure, and the contrast between tile two gen ii* men was worth the price of two tickets. Everybody got to laughing right from the start, Mr John Hex's song. "I Love Love," was one of the big hits of the occa sion Mr. Rox has a remarkably beau tiful tenor and has had good train ing. Hhd the audience was almost vo ciferous In their approval. They could have listened to him all night When the second end-men appeared, Mr. Marlon (!) O'Connor, (that's Buggs. In case you didn't knoxv ill, and Mr. I.co Cottar, Professors of Feet- and Tohaeoo-ologic* respective ly, the audience got another good laugh Mr. Cotter's make up wa* so splendid that for a moment every body had a shock, thinking that a real negro professor had been secured for Ibe occasion But when he sat down and cleared his throat, or rather put on his Muffler-Cut-Out, we all knew It was ho. He ha* his own particu lar way of sort of feeling for his voire with a prolonged tubercular sound that Is much more than funny. Hl* Joke on Judge Irvin about why his face looked so familiar made TIIH HIT of the show The audience wouldn't, or couldn’t, anyhow they didn't stop laughing for several min utes. Hoggs O'Connor pulled off some Very good local touches that tickled everybody right much. Hia appear ance was enough lo make them all laugh every time they looked at him He made a perfect end-man, so much so that wo heard several people ask If he wasn't a professional. O C. Delmontco has to he given the blue badge In the singing class. Hls \ olee Is ti»o well know n to re quire n eulogy here. It Is hard to hear on any stnge a better or more enjoy able selection of vocal sound* than he gave u* last night Needl. -* to *a> he was applauded to the echo, but tt was noteworthy th»t he was the only singer to sing a different song for hi* encore. Vnd right here is the oeca«W)n to remark in criticism. —(for unalloyed praise, without a word of criticism Is merely hlarny and Is perfectly mean ingless.—nnhodv wants It), that there were too many encores. If ev er> thin* is encored on the first round of applause, there is no way for an audience to show special favor to the good numbers by giving them a sec THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.

Hut some day ul| this shall be over forever. The Ambitious Mood shall conquer all, and I shall pack all the other moods in a great bundle and we shall fly away to a house of dreams at the foot of n green hill, and there we shall delight in qnuint wall pa pers, chintz, Delft pottery, and Chick en Salad. f Now I can laugh again since the Sensitive Mood has taken leave. I can shout with glee when the handles of the dresser come off, I can slug with the jangle of the typewriter Tor an accompaniment. I can laugh aloud t screeching wall paper and make faces In the craiy mirror. All this may I do, for I krow It will not be forever. ( To Be Continued Tomorrow.) ond call. The spectators often enjoy and wish to show approval of a song without wanting to hear It again. In fact It Is only a moat exceptional song that ought to he repeated Immediate ly lo the same crowd. That is sen sible enough. And, moreover, the ef fect which 100-easy encores have on an audience Is to make It afraid to applaud. Tuesday night, towards the end, it was noticeable that the ap plause diminished. It grew spasmodic, anti lessened on the signs of an en core. That is, of course, on the num bers that It didn't want encored. If an audience wants an encore, they'll show it, never fear. And this Is not In the least uncomplimentary to the performers. It’s human nature, pure and simple. Everybody wants to see the Next Thing, after they’ve seen This One. Besides it was getting very late, —It was drawing on to Feeding time for the Baby or for letting the eat out. The show lasted till 11:30. w hich, If It had not been such a Realls I’eachy show, would liave made aoine people leave before tho end. As it was a certain amount of the snap me pepper of the program was dulled by being drawn out. However, the num bers themselves were so good that the audience was wildly enthusiastic from start to finish. Maybe that was the trouble. Too much applause is not a fault you can find with many shows! It Is Impossible to give a detailed account of the many musical num bers. All the good voices In town were In the troupe: The Curbstone Quartet, ami solos by Messrs. Mulli gan, Chapman. Frank Hulse, Jr., who has a beautiful high tenor voice which has not been heard here publicly be fore and was highly praised, and Mr. James Mulhertn, not the least musi cal of our great musical family. The tones of Mr. Mulherlns bass voice w ere ns sweet a* an organ so far down the register that the trombone came apart trying to keep up with him. Some of the older members of the audience bad a vague feeling of hav ing beard some of the songs before.- which was owing to the fact that at tit** time they were selecting their songs some of the singers were under the Impression that the show was the 1820 Minstrels. With a very few ex ceptions, however, the songs were perfectly new and as fine a hunch us we ever heard with special mention to "My Lovin' Melody Man" (Leo Cotter) and "Everybody latves Rag" (Delmonleo) and 1 Want a Regular Huy" tFd Walton). And then was another one which we remember en joying tremendously, but can't re member which one It was. (You can't get a program for love nor money!) _ The Before-the-Curtain Sketch. "That's All,' dons by Johnny Rox and Joseph McNeill, was as good a thing as has ever been seen on any profes sion stage. We don't know how t« say more for It than that, but want to say all we can. They ought to go on the stage with it. Wilder Brodie Is without exception the best man witli the "hones" that you ever saw. That you will have to grant. And Frank Quinn's monologue was In the professional class as well. Hut. let's hurry on to the Second Part, the Cabaret Dinner. The rlslti* curtain disclosed a number of small table* full of niggers and the most surprising bevy of High-Yellow* There w ere songs and dances. One of the features was the dancing of Ar thur O'Coftnor and I.omhard Rrlnson. who did nine steps of the Hesitation Bid got three calls from the audience so that they had to repeat it and Inter nine steps of the Tango.

Three couples danced all together later, le'ster Tyoe with Robert Irvin. Henry Gardner with Ralph Bryank. and Victor Markwalter with James Hartley. They did various stops ki burlesque of the preceding dance and their number whs without a doubt the funniest thing on the program. Spe cial mention should lie given to the first-named couple. Their dancing was perfectly priceless. Mr. Irvin did the most complicated steps with a free and easy abandon that brought down the house at every stunt. He thought nothing of whirling round three times uml landing, limp hut se cure. in his partner's arms with hts feet in the air. or of sliding between his partner's legs, the Subway Glide.
