To the Business Men of Manchester By the Sea 
Business fights shy of dead towns. A sure sign of a dead one is the lack of local 
pride. People who live in a live, prosperous town show it. Their stores are attract- 
ive, their streets clean, their homes are well painted. 
Nothing shows a lack of pride, a lack of prosperity, like paint-hungry buildings. 
L t’s paint up. As the most durable and economical paint, we recommend 
Phoenix White Lead 
(Dutch Boy Painter Trade Mark) 
and pure linseed oil, mixed right on the job, to suit the job. Have your painter 
tint it any color you wish. 
We carry all other paint necessaries also. Consult us on that job of painting you 
have in mind. Tocay’s the dav 
E. A. LANE, MANCHESTER 
Editor Miller came to Washington 
with a clean conscience, and there- 
fore he could afford to talk back to 
the Senators. Indications are that 
a lot of publications without as 
clean a defense are echoing the 
Miller statement, in hopes that the 
investigation may not cover their 
own methods—since there is doubt- 
less no end of pollution of news and 
editorial pages engineered from 
Washington. 
Many Congressmen Remain 
Although Congress adjourned 
March 4, there are still many Rep- 
resentatives in Washington. It 
develops that most of them are 
from far away states, and are re- 
maining here in the hopes that they 
may finish all of their business 
affairs with the departments, as 
well as take care of applicants for 
positions. There are many hungry 
politicians still hanging on with 
grim hope and determination, and 
some have an idea that Father 
Democracy will be in better shape 
when he places their names on the 
payroll. 
Bryan and His Critics 
Just so long as Secretary Bryan 
continues to advocate temperance, 
just that long will he continue to be 
a favorite mark for unfair criti- 
cism. Bryan’s friends point out 
that he has.spent more actual time 
in the State Department than any 
other secretary for many years, and 
they allege that he has actually 
been on the job in Washington 
nearly twice as much of the time as 
his immediate predecessor. 
Dr. Cook and the Pole 
One of the last matters brought 
before Congress revived the claims 
of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, and the 
Congressmen debated pro and con 
as to whether Cook really discov- 
ered the pole or was a mere fakir. 
The doctor dropped into Washing- 
ton, and there is evidence that he 
is still prosperous, since he is still 
able to put up at the best ‘‘tavern’”’ 
in the Capital City. However, the 
doctor and his companions failed to 
secure any action from Congress. 
The Rural Credits Body 
The joint congressional commis- 
sion to frame a rural credits bill 
ahd report it to Congress at the 
opening of the next session, pro- 
vided for in the agricultural appro- 
praition law, has organized for the 
purpose of outlining a plan of oper- 
ation. 
The committee as made up so far 
consists of Senators Owen, Gore, 
Hoke Smith and Hollis, and Repre- 
9 
‘ 
sentatives Glass, Virginia; Phelan, 
Massachusetts; Hayes, California; 
Lever, South Carolina; Morse, In- 
diana, and Helly, Oregon.

duced in the Senate and House dur- 
ing the three sessions of the Sixty-

Majestic Theatre 
‘““The Lilac Domino’’ continues to 
attract large and enthusiastic audi- 
ences to the Majestic Theatre, Bos- 
ton, where it enters on its last week 
Monday, March 29, and many of the 
people have already seen _ this 
phenomenal success several times. 
Nothing quite so beautiful in the 
way of a musical production has 
been offered this or any other year, 
and the myriads of singing and 
dancing girls make up by far the 
prettiest chorus Boston -has_ been 
privileged to see. 
The splendor of the scenic effects, 
the magnificent vocal and acting 
opportunities and the wonderful 
collection of artistic talent, youth, 
beauty and regal costumes, all con- 
tribute heavily to make this bril- 
liant masterpiece stand out  pre- 
eminently and alone. 
Shubert Theatre 
‘“‘No grouch could lve in the at- 
mosphere of ‘Kitty MacKay,’”’ is 
the way one New York newspaper 
deseribed Catherine Chisholm Cush- 
ing’s brilliant comedy, which is 
seen at the Shubert Theatre for the 
second and last week, beginning 
next Monday, March 29. 
‘Kitty’? comes from New York, 
where the play was enjoyed by 
audiences that taxed the capacity 
of the Comedy Theatre for more 
than a year. 
“Kitty MacKay’’ is a saucy, win- 
some Scottish lassie, with a quick 
tongue and a vivid imagination, 
and when the fairy prince comes to 
take her to London town she takes 
it all as a matter of course. 
The story of ‘‘Kitty’’ has to do 
with the adventures of a winsome 
Qeottish Cinderella in London, and 
comprises so many funny situations 
and so much brilliant dialogue that 
it must be seen to be enjoyed.
