This Diary Abounds in the Ultra
Feminine

No publisher could spoil the Con
fessicns 10 a Heather Idel,' by Marian
Lee. even by calling it "a volume OF
real humor and clever conversation.
1t is an entirely new way of writing a
diary: instead of the matter Of fact
daily entries in the book, the story is
told in what purport to be periodical
confessions TO foolish little image
which sits upon the desk of the author.
Marian Lee Confessions" will find
its friends chiefly among women read
ers. for your real man is not often in
terested in the ultra feminine point of
view. Yet ii is full of real humor and
it's quotable passages are many. The
confessor's ideas on why woman may
be a Philistine are worth repeating:
NV dear Idol: xou are a stranger
in this Western world of progress
and goman's triumph. SO / wilr'
tell you now that there is no Phil
istine among them all so intolerant
and seIf-centered' as the woman
educated by and among women;
and the reason for this lies in the
excess of feminine influence. 1t is
largely because woman is not sat
isfied with less than knowing all
1T once. Man plods along in his
investigation. knowing that he will
at death have pushed his way
only a step or two into the great
unknown. Woman is impatient
and naturally will study only
along those lines where finality
seems attaina bic. Woman
IS not Philistine because of self
coDceit: on The contrary she walks
with humility along the paths of
knowledge. But her standards are
fixed and her faith in what she
has been taught is liberal, unyield-
ing and unwavering-

away and do not take the money out of the town in nickeIs and quarters but in lump. Money spent in the saloons on Sunday does not enhance the business interests of Tempe"
 He gave figures showing that if the saloons were closed here the attend ance of the normal would be increased. He approximated the money spent here
 in term by a student to be about $500. NOW" said he, 'supposing that as a result of the Sunday closing or dinance there should be an increase in the school attendance of ten students; that would mean an expenditure with the merchants of this place of S3.OOO. co He was of the opinion that the normal attendance would be 25 to 50 per cent greater if the moral atmosphere of Tempe were a little cleaner than 1t is at the present.
 In conclusion he said: of the pres ent council is elected they will allow the town to remain as it is and thar being their belief is what they should ido. If, on the other hand the citizens ticket is elected, the saloons will be closed. The councilmen should do as majority of the voters wish and by electing the peoples party ticket you signify your desire for an open town You know the issue and as you vote so you express your sentiments in the matter"
 The address by pr. BIome was short. but he spoke earnestly and impress sively throughout. He confined him self particularly to the two points: first, that there are things that are always worth what they cost and the V never cost too much; second, there are things that are never worth what they cost and they always cost too much or are dear at any price. Tn the first case" said he, "the education and training of our children is always worth every cent it costs and it never costs too much even if it takes our last penny. On the other hand, the open saloon on Sunday. the carouslng and debauches that result and the con sequent immortality was never worth it's cost, and in every case it cost far too much" He cited an instance of but few nights ago when he heard the sound of carOusing when he retired and the next morning saw the last two of the party who had made an all-night spree of it leaving the nor nal school grounds at o'clock To put an end to such things was within the power of the voters of Tempe and they alone had that power. They 'could vote for the peoples party tfcket and have an open town with a con tinuance of such disorders or they could vote the citizens ticket and put a speedy end to it.

TEMPE
THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
A Further Discussion of the issue
 Sunday Evening.

Further Discussion of the issue
 Sunday Evening.
 The seating capacity of the Congre- gatiOnal church was taxed Sunday evening at the mass meeting of the citizens of Tempe held for the purpose of discussing the issue of the present municipal campaign. A week ago Sun day evening 9 similar meeting was addressed by the pastors of the diff ferent churches of Tempe. Last SuE- day evening the speakers were promi nent laymen of this place, namely: Prof. Geo. FrizzeII and Dr. R. H. Fl. Blome. Neither made long addresses but both spoke well and held the en- tire attention of their hearers.
 Prof. Frizzell spoke first, giving the reasons as he saw them why the sa- looms of this place should be closed on Sunday. In answer to the argument that such an action on the part of the city council resulting in ,the closing of the saloons in Tempe for one day out of the week would work damage in a financial and business way to the city he said in part: "The closing of the saloons here on Sunday would not be detrimental to the town. Rather, it would be of benefit. It is likely that much of the money spent on that day would be held over until the first of the week. It is a fact that many 1f the men who spend the most money on Sunday in that manner are the ones who owe bills at the store and if money was not spent in the saloons more than likely the next day these bills would be paid. Moreover, the money that is spent in the saloon at any time not always benefits the town in any way. Often saloon men having made good deal of money here movr
