A Sign of the Times

Whether we like it or not, the
magic lantern" picture has taken a
powerful hold upon what we call the
people," Sunday evening the First
Baptist church was fairly packed
with an audience in part drawn
thither by brief announcement OF
the stereopticon lecture by the pastor
And large proportion of those pres
emit were young people, just tn kind so
many religious workres find 1t diff
cult to attract.
Testimony from the police courts all
over the land indicates that a vast
amount of Juvenile crime originates
in thoughts suggested by motion pic
lures. Some excellent people are
moved thereby to insist that such
shows should be closely censored, and
the evil films suppressed. Good so far
as 1t goes, but leaving much to be de-
sired.
Every human act for either good or
evil originates in thought. Further

The Election

High cost of living has been an es-
tablished fact for several years. The
resultant problem is highly complex
and while the Republican party has
been trying to explain 1t, Democracy
promised relief with all the abandon
characteristic of the outs And
there you have the situation in nut
shell.
The Roosevelt haters will gloat
over Tuesday as a Waterloo. Time
will tell whether they are right. Be-
yond question the Colonels attacks on
such men as Congressman Foss, Gov
ernor Harmon, and Judge Baldwin,
were regretted even by his most ar
dent admirers. Personalities are OBJ
jectionable in any campaign. But the
break had started, for no man will
contend that Roosevelt was an issue
in Maine.
New Hampshire stayed in the Re-
publican column, and so did the other
states where progressive leadership
had been thoroughly established. No
eleventh hour conversion carried any
weight with the voters, and SO the
inevitable cleavage between progress
siye and conservative in politics goes
forward. Taft has certainly been a
disappointment to the men who voted
Tor him, but the worst is over. TO
what extent he will recover his lost
prestige remains to be seen. IL the
present Congress profits by the les
son of Tuesday, the prospects for 1912
will be vastly improved, in spite of
the temporary loss of both Ohio and
New York. No man with memory
wants to see anything like a repeti-
ton of 1892.

The Plot Thickens

The election of successor to Sena-
tor Hale, bids fair to be one of the
liveliest fights in Names political his
tory. Rumor has it that Obadiah
Gardner will be high man when 1t
comes to a show down, and good
politicians say that he will either go
to Washington himself, or name the
lucky man. All of which would be
more or less of joke on the Hon.
Charles s. Johnson of Waterville.
It seems that the night before some
OF the delegates at the Augusta con-
yention were much disturbed by the
prospect of really nominating a can
didate by vote of the delegates. The
idea of not knowing just what was to
occur the next day was almost pain
full So they interviewed both Plaist-
ed and Gardner in the interest OF
Harmony. Both candidates stood
ready to sacrifice themselves for the
benefit of the party, and agreed TIC
withdraw in favor of either Judge
Newell or Johnson.
A Penobscot County man put the
proposition up to the Waterville
statesman, but the latter did not take
kindly to it. He said that the most
of his clients were large corporations
that the fact was generally known.
If he should go into the campaign as a
candidate the opposition would harp
on that fact, and the argument was
difficult to answer. Furthermore the
financial sacrifice was greater than
he could afford to make. And the
same reasons were given as objec-
tons to an Endorsement for U. s. Sem
ator, for which the call of the conven-
ton had provided.
Since the memorable twelfth of
September, this Penobscot gentleman
has been diligently booming Obadiah
Gardner for the U. s. Senate. The
bulk of his argument Is summed up
In one question. "If by his own state
ment the nomination of Johnson for
the governorship would have weaken
ed the party, how can it be good
politics for a Democratic legislature
to send him to the U. s. Senate. And
a lot of the members who are to do
the voting seem to think that honesty
and ability do not keep man from
acquiring the corporation view of
some very big questions. especially
those relating to railroads.

evil thoughts at the same time. The
first step In carrying out the instruc-
tions of the worlds Great Teacher. Is
to overcome the evil thoughts with
good If the motion picture affords
the means for doing this, then 1t Is
indeed a blessing to humanity. and
those who have tried 1t are OF that
opinion. Fine ideals have thus been
placed before impressionable people
in a way to leave a lasting thought
influence. Let the good work go on.

EVENING ENJOYMENT ASSURED.
Phelan Opera Company Makes Great
Hit In Bangor.

The following complimentary notice
of the Phelan Opera Co., who are to
appear at our Opera House next
Tuesday night is taken from the Ban
gor News of Tuesday, present week:
Many in the large audience which
attended the opening performance by
George Ovey and his 80 associates In
the Opera House last night were pos
sessed of an uncomfortable feeling
that they hadn't paid enough to get In.
Here was real musical comedy-and
real musical comedy has up to now
cost real money, In liberal quantities.
However, il Manager Phelan wants to
act the role of philanthropist and
give us considerably more than we
bargained for, or could legitimateiy
expect, we are not going to complain
we are going to be real generous
and let him do 1t.
Surely the audience was delighted,
and with good reason. There were
principals who knew how to act and
sing: there was a thoroughly we'll
trained chorus-including little pony
ballet-of fresh, pretty young girls IN
equally fresh. pretty costumes; there
was certain air of completeness I'M
possible to imitate-in short, there
was gratifying and repeated evidence
of real talent. generous expenditure.
end competent management. A Knight
for Day was the musical comedy,
OF whatever 1t may be called, and
the original is still so fresh in mem
ory that the songs and business arc

produced them. sighting nothing,
uniting nothing-and 1t Is a hlgh
compliment to record that very, very
few features suffered by the ineVita-
BILE comparison. There are still the
practical house and humorous elope-
ment, the we'll of champagne, the
electrically illuminated see-saws, the
little comedy and artistic touches
which embroider the principal songs.
George Ovey is a clever comedian
one of the sort that doesn't have to
fall all over the stage to be funny.
His methods are quiet, yet he Is i've
" as a cricket, and the audience re
sponded to his bubblng vivacity be-
fore he had been out five minutes.
Then there Is Louise Horner-equally
clever, we think, as comedienne-
whose scene at the well, and whose
little song of THE Chorus" In act sec
ond. were immense. Two people such
as these would go far toward carrying
any musical play, but their support
as above intimated, is competent
surprisingly so when the modest pric-
es are taken into consideration. BY
far the best voice in the company is
possessed by Almorah Hallan; 1t is
clear. rather brilliant soprano. of
unusual volume and range.
The song hits? To record them
would be simply to reprint the names
of all the songs, which is too long a
lob. But certainly this company de
serves well of Bangor people. II It's
other offerings are as good as the
one last night.
