"A Pair Of Sixes," which drew a full

night, is funny play. 1t is labeled
"a farce in three acts" and in this in

three acts, all the way, all the time,

isfactory theme for a good theatrical
production, but this is intensified four
fold this week in "rhe Seven Sisters"

1.-THE Seven Sisters" is q comedy-ro-

the age of fourteen until her three

her adaptability. She gives the role also
a heart appeal that holds the interest.

little Misses Mary. Doris and Josephine

has had newspaper experience on the

Party or Principles?


Col. Roosevelt has given Progressive
Candidate Gardner assurance that he
will come to Maine to help the pro-
gressives. The progressives are hope
lessly third in Maine; the most they
can hope to do is to retain enough
votes to defeat the republican candi-
dates; those leaders of the pro-
gressive party who are candid about il
say this is all they care to do.
This is the cause to which Col. Roose-
welt has promised to lend his aid-the
defeat of the republican party and the
principles for which it stands in COM
mon with the progressives, and the
success of the democratic party and
its principles, against which both re-
publicans and progressives are ar
rayed.
The leaders of the progressive
party in Maine may have misled Col.
Roosevelt as to the real situation
here; we doubt if he would come II
he knew it. The most he can hope to
do is to help in the defeat of the prin-
ciples for which he stands, and his
early utterances on his return home
from South America place principles
above parties.

Commenting on the gathering of
Washington county democrats in
Machias last week, at which Oandi-
dates Curtis and Pattangall were
speakers, the Machias Republican
says: Looking over the bunch of
democratic leaders who attended the
meeting from all over the county,
many, indeed, most, of the old-timers,
seemed to be missing. The fighting
men of the democracy in Washington
county seem to be very scarce this
year. OF course some of them were
here, but nothing like the crowd of
former days. Some of those who
came as delegates must have won
dered what they were here for. Ger
tainly their presence did not increase
party patriotism in this section.
Washington county democrats have
this year the weakest ticket in many
years."
