and the ladies meet them everywhere arrayed thus. So why is it showing disrespect to ladies at church.
 Then! is it disrespectful to God? think not. Probably as good people go without as with coats. Everybody to their choice. Is it. in all fairness, any more disrespectful than an Easter Sunday bonnet or a Merry Widow haa elaborately trimmed? I think it is better not to begin to draw lines too finely
 Our constitution gives us freedom of worship and We would have none other.
 Then, such a good person as an Observer" who believes many people disrespectful to God because they don't do as he or she thinks, should hardly compare the house of God with a theater or an opera. We would hardly believe he or she would know how people dress for such things, es- pecially as we have none of the high

THE SHIRT SLEEVE QUESTION.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 There seems to be some little dis cussion in your columns concerning the attire to be worn at religious wor- ship. I would like to say few words.
 An Observer seems to look merely upon the attire while at church, whereas a man can worship as well without as with a coat. Our Saviour himself said, "The time is coming and now is when the true worshipper of God shall worship Him in spirit and in truth This seems to me to be the proper spirit, for we may as well say that a man ought to be attired as our Saviour was. Some would object to this as not being the custom of our, people. How about shirt sleeves? These surely seem to be the custom here Your business men, bankers, and professional men all go to their re-, spective occupations in such attire,
Arizona republican., 1908-07-16

class affairs, which are referred to. at this season. Then. talking about undress and the opera, some may call it full dress to see some ladies in their evening attire but I would surely call it undress.
 Perhaps we would all do better if we began removing beams from our own eyes, and seeing that our own road to heaven was secure. before kicking about disrespect of an everyday GUS tom. Surely it is hard enough now adays to get people to attend religious services at any time of the year. It is this kind of leaven which turns the dough sour. and which keeps the whole from being leavened.
 By this means we Americans have the record that less than one third of our population even profess to belong to any Christian body, let alone attend church. A VISITOR.

CANTAIOIIpES-Tbo

i, CANTALOUPES.- cantaloupe shipments continue from Glendale and it is expected they will for some time yet. Three car loads were shipped
 Tuesday but owing to the rain only one was sent out yesterday. One and possibly two will go forward tomor- row.
 A QUICK TRIP-There was a good illustration yesterday of what the au- tomobile means for busy men. At B: 35 yesterday afternoon something occurred that made it advisable for Engineer Howard Reed, who is in charge of the canal administration, to go to Scottsdale. He jumped in his automobile, taking Chas. A. Van der Veer along for an affidavit man, went eleven and a half miles to point just above Scottsdale, logged along the way visiting with friends. made five stops, helped the Zanjero close three headgates, and was back in his office at , o'clock telling about it. with Mir Van der Veer verifying everything he said.

GOOD SOAKING RAIN
 FOR HIS VALLEY
A Steady Downpour That Made Its Start With a Spectacular Demon stration.

Phoenix had a fine soaking rain yes terday morning as the finishing fea- ture of an unusual electrical demon stration the night before. The usual evening dust storm did not appear but about o'clock the wind became strong and there was a light sprinkle follow ed by much thunder and lightning. About 10: 30 there was a heavy shower that lasted for a few minutes. About Il o'clock in the midst of a general clattering of thunder and the illumina- ton of zig gag lightning, there was one terrific shock The peculiarity of this shock was the fact that everybody within three miles of it thought it was aimed at him. Reports come from as far out as the Indian school, of people who declare it hit the earth not far from them, and one man says he saw it strike the ground between Washing ton and Jefferson in the west part of the city.
 About 1 o'clock a good drizzle began that kept getting stronger until after daylight when the total measured 1.03 inches, .04 of an inch falling later The rain will do a vast amount of good though it is too late to be of much service to the cantaloupe men. How ever it helps the hay and the summer crops and soaks up the ground for trees and all other vegetation and it is supposed is one of the series of storms that will fill up the river and soak the ranges. From reports however. this rain did not extend over a great area. that number noticed, was what seemed to be a rainbow in the north west, after the first shower. It was dim of course as the only light avail able was the moon, but there was well defined streak of light across the heavens like a mild imitation of the aurora borealis.

c. Roundy, imperial potentate, was not candidate for reelection and became past imperial potentate The officers below him were each advanced step, leaving only the lowest officer-the outer imperial guard-open to contest. Four can didates were voted on for the office, Chas. E. Ovenshire of Minneapolis being elected on the third ballot.
 An important action of today's ses- sion was the raising of the initiation feet to a minimum of $50.
