One Hundred Years of Freedom.

The first Of the Latin-American
nations to win its freedom from
Spain was Ecuador, which, on ALL
gust 10, celebrated in fitting manner
the centenary of it's independence.
At intervals during the next few
years other Central and South Amer
lean republics will also commemo-
rate their hundred years of freedom.
Beginning their national life a
generation or more after the United
States became a nation they had, in
the shaping of their constitutions
and internal administration, the
successful experience of this country
to guide them.
That self-government with them
has not been the success it has with
us has been largely due to racial
differences and the mixed character
Of their population, owing to inter-
marriage with the native Indians,
with it's attendant ignorance and in
tellectual deficiency.
Yet all have made some progress,
and several, like Argentina. Brazil,
Chile and Mexico, have made rapid
advance and now enjoy large meas
ure Of political stability which au-
gurs we'll for future progress.

One way for the country and

would not only put money in the

WOMAN TAKES ARsNIC

ring comedy drama of the year, 1.-THE
Girl From the West 1t is the story
of California in the days of its gold
mining excitement and introduces sew
eral types of the far west in its early
days. The comedy is provided by the
nncouth western judge, lazy China
man, and other pleasing characters
known to the early mining ca 1ps. The
story is an absorbing one with a strong
and well-defined plot and the scenic
effects are excellent. The play is east

pany and provides one of the best
productions that the popular Ellie
fords have ever given us. For Wednes-
day and Thursday the offering is 1.-The
Princess of Patches a story laid in

and its men to whom the word chiv-

Pollards Do Their Best Yet.

PolardS do Their Best Yet.
AS a girl you are sweet,
With skirts short or long:
When you dance, then your feet
Keep time to the song.

And filled us with joy,
When you came out last night
Dressed up as a boy.
Which. Of course, refers to Eva

audience had a laugh every minute.

company had something good to do.
There We're two main hits last
night. One was the local adoption of
Fairy Tales and the other was
Just Ny Style In the former,
Goulding, Jack Pollard and Harold
Frazer sang series of very clever
verses written by a local man, with
local absurdities introduced. The Leg
islature was mimicked and then given
the glad hand in the last line, Sonny
Cunha was not left ont, and many
others in town who know how to take
q kindly joke were introduced. The
song made great hit and it is pity
that there were not more verses of it.
The Just My Style song was en-
cOred six times. and was responded to
in a novel way. After each encore,
new couple, boy and girl, from the
company would dance across the stage
singing the tunefuI words of the
chorus, and it wound up with all the
girls, including Alfred Goulding, and
all the boys, including Eva Moore
tripping across the stage in line and
singing the chorus.
