TORE OFF HE'S
AND DANCED TANGO
ACTRESS GIVES AN ACT NOT
SCHEDULED AT BROADWAY
THEATRE.

CAMDEN, N. j., Oct 11.-Miss Col
der, an actress appearing at the
Broadway Theatre, today gave an act
for which she had not been scheduled
when she ran out in Broadway, be-
gan to tear off her clothes, and after
disrobing, gave the very latest ver-
sion of the tango.
Eventually Policeman Stanley man
aged to back into the tangoing figure,
and with lively whisk, enwrapped
it with his long overcoat.
After that Miss Herman was car
ried to the Cooper Hospital, where
she is in a hysterical condition. Her
parents, who reside in Pittsburg, have
been notified.

partially and fearlessly enforced. The
lawless element in Tennessee strives
to create destructive forces in socie-
ty, and advocates primitive individu-
alism only that it might profit by the
disorders of social chaos! General
Lee once said in reference to the
leadership of the army, Il do not care
by whom the work is done, so long
as it is done successfully" Certain
1y here in Tennessee a crisis is at
hand. The Governor of the state is
endeavoring to reassemble the legis-
lature for the specific purpose of
passing the law enforcement bills,
one of which will give, not only the
present governor, remember that
but all succeeding executives, power
to make good the governors oath to
enforce the law No one will deny
the great need among us for the en-
forcement of the law. Then let the
manhood Of Tennessee be patriotic
and put aside party politics and per-
sonal ambition, and self interest, and
give the chief executive of the state
power adequate to his responsibility
to protect the people through the en-
forcement of the laws. This is not a
party issue. If the bills are passed 1t
cannot under the circumstances be
claimed as a party victory. 1t would
be Just as logical to demand victory
of a general and when in the crisis
of battle strip him of authority and
power to enforce discipline, as it is
to expect the enforcement of the laws
of a state when the states chief ex-
ecutive has no vestige of power
wherewith to enforce it. Certainly
the governor should have power to
emove county and state officials, for
malfeasance in office, where such
malfeasance in Office affects the law
full operation of sue ha law. The
should also be invested with sufficient
power to at least bring mayors to ac-
count before the courts for similar
offenses, where they in like manner
subvert the lawful operation of laws
that affect the well being of the whole
state. If we fear tyranny or despot
ism, there is remedy Make the
governors tenure of office for one
term of not exceeding four years;
make him ineligible for reelection
If such scheme of government proves
oppressive to the people and subver-
sive of justice, the legislature can
easily provide certain checks upon the
executives power as the situation
may seem to demand But firsts let
1t be proven that for a governor to
have power co-equal with his respon-
sibilities and obligations means des-
potism, and then apply the remedy.
Lawlessness is anarchy Wholesome
despotism is preferable to anarchy.

terror to the evil doer."

ADOLPHS BUSCH

ST. LOUIS, Octf 11.-Adolphus

died today in his castle at Mayence-

a cable received from his son, Au-

The aged brewer had suffered from
dropsy for seven years, and his con-

RESPONSIBILITY
WITHOUT AUTHORITY
(By Walter B. Capers.)

In the United states, democracy
las a principle of government has
reached an acute stage in its trial be-
fore the bar of international public
opinion. Particularly in certain Sec
tons license has ceased masquerad-
ing in the livery of Personal Liber-
ty," and having thrown off its dis
guise, is now fearlessly and boldly
walking in the open and attempting
to trample in the dust the real safe
suards of this peoples freedom. The
blight of lawlessness is abroad in the
land. The law, which is the fortress
Of orderly and enlightened govern
aent is now being assailed by the
forces of lawlessness. Its bulwarks
once RACED to the ground, and then
the emisaries of license, anarchy and
ruin, will hold high carnival in this
citadel to the peoples prosperity and
peace.
In democratic government more
than in any other form of government
rigid and consistent enforcement of
the laws of the land is the only guar
antee of the perpetuity of govern
ment. Non-enforcement of law means
anarchy, 1t is true unwise and even
unjust laws may be enacted from time
to time. and We. unless these unwise
and unjust laws are enforced the
majesty of the law is shorn OF its
power just in proportion as such laws
are defied or ignored, by the people
living under them. But there is a
right and wrong way of changing the
law. Enforce bad law and you kill
it, for the people having fair and
unprecedented opportunity to judge fer
themselves the real merits of the law,
can have it lawfully wiped from the
statute books through their legisla-
ture But if democracy is impotent
to enforce the laws upon the statute
books of sovereign state, then de-
mocracy is so weak thing as to be-
come a self-confessed failure. Hence
We have said that in the non-enforce-
ment of the laws which now exist, de-
mocracy is on trial Whether Tam
