Politics of No Concern

We have learned with surprise that some excel lent citizens who evidently think more of party than of prosperity are wondering what effect the result the city election next Thursday will have upon county and state politics next fall especially the effect upon county politics We do not believe that it will have any effect but whatever effect it may have, would be of concern to The average citizen has only vague interest in the fate of any political party but he has an intimate and vital interest in the well-beng of his home city. There from 25,OOO to 3o,OoO people living in Phoenix It matters greatly to all of them whether We have good government or not There are not more than 200 800 in this city who, from an office seeking standpoint are interested in the welfare of any political party-not more than one in hun dred of us.
 All of US, except the in hundred, should therefore devote ourselves to the welfare of the city No of Phoenix should be sacrificed to the upbuding or the bostering up of any political organization.
 No sensible is going to sacrifice his own happiness and that of his household for any polit- ical party. No two sensible men would do such thing would any three or more sensible men make such insane sacrifice. Then why should it be expected that the voters of Phoenix who are pre- sumaby sensible men and women. should make sacri- fees which would dsastrously affect their homes. these homes in the aggregate constitute the city of Phoenix, that some political party might thrive, that certain men might be elected to the state and county offices next fall?
 The effect of the election day after tomorrow upon the fortunes of any man or party should not be considered by the at all. Phoenix is too valuable be made the plaything of politics. In the making up of the ticket which The Republican is supporting, it supported it throughout the pri- mary campaign, this effect was not considered If the ticket composed of JUDGE LEWIS, JOSEPH COPE DIR. DAMERON and HARRY DlEHL is elected the interests of Phoenix will be looked after and parties and politicians will be left to look after themselves fall

An Ugly Sub feet

A boy may fall and get up again. but as general rule, may well kill girl as for her to go wronS said Evangelist Brown at the skating rink Sunday night Of course there is rhetorical cXtravagance in the homicdal suggestion for the soul of a fallen girl may be saved well as that of fallen boy and that is really the most import ant matter after all--that she may ultimately stand right with God whatever mems estimate of her may be.
 But the statement of the preacher brings us again to that ugly question of the single and the double standards the rules of morality for men and women and the vain attempt apply the same rule to both We may complain against the injustice of the double standard and it is cruelty unjust but is as imInutable law nature and must pre- Wall, whatever We may say do against it. We disregard it in our laws, in preaching and in our writing. We organize against it and unanimously declare it to be wrong, but down in the heart of must always divide men and women
 From the earliest times it has prevailed in say age tlibes and has lost the slightest degree of it's force under the highest civilization We found the rule among the Apaches with a horrible pun lshment for the women who transgressed It was recognized in the Mosaic law The Christian law dd not attempt it's eradication but substituted for bodily punishment compassion and pity
 It is useless to attempt it's abrogation. but plainer if possible the terrible, inevitable injustice of it, as deep seated and uneradicable as the tend ency to human error.
