The Drama.

A small audience, but very much
interested one, heard Madam Labadie
at Reynolds Theatre Monday night.
Madam Labadie came to Union City
through the efforts OF the Carnegie
Library Association. She is an actress
OF wonderful magnetism and power,
but OF recent years is devoting her time
to the exploitation Of Ibsen and Maeter-
link, who are responsible for what is
known as the mental drama, in other
words the philosophy Of human life ex-
pressed through the stage. Madam Lab
adie read "Hedda Gabler. (" at least that
was the bill. We are not familiar with
the work, but she read the story Of re
grand passion of an estranged married
woman for priest, and Of the excom-
munication, self imposed, Of the priest.
Now the reading was Hawless, and it
was infusedwith aconsiderable amount of
warmth Notwithstanding the size OF the

shese great actresses have distinguished
themselves on the stage. They have
made world famous the characters Of
Camille, Carmen, Sapho, Tess, and
many others which have to do with the

adventures or the underworld. Why
is it these geniuses must have the aid OF
the risque in order to attain the heights.
The story Of reformation is, of course,
full Of passion; but what Of the hero
ism OF true character, its temptations,
its struggles and its ideals. Why is
genius not the more exalted when it
comes in unquestionable, methods
when it adopts no adventitious aids.
The Legion of Honor was never con-
ferred upon Sara Bernhart until recent
ly on account of her life, and yet She
has stirred the world Eith her art. Why
should not the names of Maud Adams,
Julia Marlowe and Annie Russell be
written higher upon the tablets OF fame.
They rose to the top of the drama with
out the scarlet letter Their plays have
both edited and elevated the dramatic
world. They, like Sir Johnston Forbes
Robertson, have lived in pure atmos-
phere and embellished it with the crys-
tails OF thought. The stage has not yet
the secrets OF the popular
odium against it and never will until
the romance OF better and stronger life
replaces the doubtful character.

posed to him, however, are many South
ern Democrats, led by Oscar Underwood
and Speaker Clark. They practice
limited Democracy, and it is known that
they have organized Congress against
the President along these lines. 1t is
understood that nearly every one Of the

Southern Democrat, who opposes Pres
ideat Wilson's progressive ideas, and
the real fight is TO come when these
ideas are promulgated. In fact the fight
is already on on the repeal Of the act
exernpting American coastwise vessels
from canal tolls. The first blood, how
ever, has been drawn by the President
and the people are beginning to rejoice.
Now, Tennessee Democracy is needed
in this fight, and the more the reason
Why we should have the control of the
State. We can have both Democratic
control and State wide Prohibition if
the Democrats will put forward a good
man for Governor on the platform sug-
gested by the State Committee. This
can be done and it should be done.
There is much to be lost in the sacrifice
Of the party in Tennessee. The pro-
gressives are very largely in the ma
iority but the spirit of Office holding
and controlling Democracy is organized
against them and the contest will be-
bitter.
So we see the need Of Tennessee De-
mocracy in national affairs.
Let's get together and nominate
State-wider, one that was neither iu-
sionist nor a regular, and win for the
people.

THE VILLA FABRICATIONS.

The most Interesting feature of
erai Pancho Villa and the first chief.
Carranza, is the campaign of false
hood and villification conducted by.
the reactionary forces OF the Willis
tas. Realizing that defeat is to be
their lot. they are not sparing the
wires nor money in their attempt to
fill the American newspapers with
false reports and dispatches. If one
were to believe the reports issued by
the Villa press agents. the consti-
tutiOnalists are doomed, their cause
defeated and the huge army of Car
rama a thing OF the past.
The Villa press agents started out
at first by informing the newspapers
that all the general have deserted
Carranza. Those reports were fol-
lowed by others claiming that all of
Carranza's soldiers have surrendered
to Villa. That was not sufficient,
however. and they issued some more
statements maintaining that Tam
pico. Mexico City and many other
prominent points have been captured
by the Villa hordes. The reports be-
gan to lose their glamour when upon
the scene appeared Sr Francisco Ur-
quidi. So long as the dispatches
were dated from Mexico they still
bore semblance of truth. hut when
they began to carry the Endorsement
of Sr. Urquidi, they lost all their
force.
Sr. Urquidi Is the man who, while
serving in New York as representa-
tive of the Carranza government,
and announced himself as an agent
of the bandit-general Villa. While
receiving COMPENSATION for his
services from the Carranza govern
mcnt. he was in reality serving Villa
and betraying the office entrusted to
him. Needless to say, no sclf-respect-
ing individual would take the word
of such man seriously. Totrust
him would he folly.
But that is not the whole story.
According to the Information given
out by ST. Urquidi. General Luis Ca
ballero. who is in charge of the
troops and the city of Tampico. and
who is also governor of Tamaulipas,
has deserted the constitutionalists
and joined Villa. When Sr. UrGuidi
gave out the statement he assumed
the authority of the Villa consul, ap-
pointed by the AguascaIicntes con-
vention. Needless to say that the
convention has not made any ap-
pointment Of that sort. for the. SIM
pie reason that it has not the au-
thority to DO so. Sr. Uruuidi. to be
correct, has sold out. Instead of serv-
ing the revolutionists he has become
n cheap tool within the hands of the
enemies of the Mexican people.
The worst. however, came when
General CabalIero sent out kilograms
emphatically DENYING The statement
given out by Sr. Urquidi. He brands
the statement as a malicious false
hood and maintains that he still is
loyal to the cause of the constitu-
.ionalsts and will remain SO until
the enemies of the poor poems are
driven out of Mexico.
