To See Play "Dabaged Goods"

Atlanta, April 1S.-Atlantians are
going to have the opportunity after all
or passing judgment Oh Damaged
Goods" the famous sociological drama
by the French immortal, BrieuX.
Damaged Goods" is the play that
treats with extreme ffankness g sub
iect that is usually discussed only in
doctors Office and then only in whis-
pers. 1t is unquestionably the bold
est dramatic presentment that has
ever been offered to the American
theatre going public. Condemned by
the censors in England, it was praised
by some of the greatest end
most thoughtful English men Of let
ters and reformers.
No play in this generation has
caused the amount of serious and
thoughtful criticism pro and con that
Damaged Goods" has. Some peo-
pie believe it is the proper thing to
do to present such subjects on the
stage. Others think the stage is the
wrong place for them. But no voice
has ever been raised to impugn the
seriousness and sincerity and power
with which BrieuX has treated his
subject. f,arip Hn't :aafSiti tai,!y' III

Here is the Hon. Vardaman, who
says he loves the flag with the same
fervor John A. Logan used to deliver
himself OF. and he has gotten himself
in such patriotic ecstacy about it
that he has forgotten the niger long
enough to promise to tax the poor
devil growing a miserable patch of
cotton in the piney woods of Missis-
sippi and bestow the swag upon an
opulent snip trust monopoly that is
worth untold millions. l hope the
Senator will speak on the bill.
Now this row about canal tolls is
only the Battle of Baltimore over
again. The Hon. Vardaman was dis
astrously beaten, reuted-horse, foot
and dragoons-in 1912 at Baltimore
and he will be just as signally discom-
flied in his assault On Wilson's ad-
ministration In 1914 as he was when
he mustered himself against Wilson's
candidacy two years ago. The issue
then was: Shall Woodrow Wilson
or Champ Clark lead the Demo-
cratic party? And that is the same
issue today Vardaman was against
Wilson then, He Is with Clark now
The result Will be, the. same.
AND Champ that lOFable and de-
lightful man7-7was, born to be greater
Pepys, buS he needs must be states
man. With a mind the most impress
sionable,, loyal. ioBjth patriotism the
most unseifishur4his, !, grand, man has
fallen into set of haEpies, like Hearst
who bullles, him, and like Dubois who
fiatters him. q do, not. say that Champ
is conscious that Hearst dominates him
for he Is not, butt the consequence is
the same. .As7s c.fw s,,; ,s
= IT is deplerableErtAe course of Clark
for the past twenty months and up
wards. His. chief ,.endeavor-his sole
endeavor-seems to be, to SO conduct
.iimsaif as 10 ifiadicate the wisdom os
the Baltimore, .cearantion of 1912, in
rejecting his nomination.
Now. there is 20 :,aGbt cs the per
sonal popularity of Champ Clark and
1t is founded ON affection more than
on admiration. The day the rule"
was brought in Clark and Underwood
got immense applause from the Re-
publicans; but the, day the debate was
closed on the bill after the rule was
adopted 1t was proposed by the real
democrats of congress who abomi-
nate the special privilege of a ship
subsidy, ito give the old man hand"
And they did SO without demur and
without stint with the understanding
that they intended ito run the steam
roller over him and smash him as
Eat as batteTcake when the vote
was taken,' and that was all right.
1t did the old fellow heap of good
and did the cause of true Democracy
no harm. THhe steam roller was there
and in action. ,.rs-r
But the least said about Champs
speech, the better-rit was claptrap,
hyperbole. an appeal to ignorance and
prejudice. 1t will be a big run at
Terrapin Ridge, 'Possum Scratch and
Slipskin-nowhere else.
The sole issue before the House was
this. Shall the Democratic party ad-
vocate the taxing of all the people to
hestow subsidy on an opulent, greedy
ship trust Without It's corruption
practiced on congress--InouSn ,prac-
ticed in the reptile press-the ship
subsidy is the reinCarnation of the Pa
cific Mail Scandal of 1879. y
