Cardinal in Letter Seeks to Define

The cardinals letter to Mr.. Nugent is as follows:

II still hold the same views woman suffrage, al

from her domestic duties Into the of politics
and rob her of much of her cha goodness and true in
fuence.
"She is indeed princess but her God.given rule
should lie in domestic and genter fields and ways We
all believe that she has been successful in her work that
fear any change by the carrying of her government
into the political field
Supplementng his letter to Mr.. Nugent Cardinal
Gibbons further says
Equal rights does not imply that both should
engage promscuousy in the pursuits but rather that
each should discharge those duties which adapted
to its physical constitution and sanctioned by the
of society To among the genter the words
"equa rights have been it is feared synonymous with
similar rights"
'To debar women from certain pursuits is not to de-
grade her. To restrict her field of action the genter
avocatons of life is fetter her aspirations after the
higher and better.
Her Sacred Influence

TEMPE NEWS NOTES
SUGAR CANE \ LIKELY
 INDUSTRY FOR TEMPE
One Hundred Fifty Acres Planted to
 Cane at Tempe this Season

That the sugar cane industry is here to stay is the opinion of those who watched the experiment of the South son, and who are this Year cultivating for the same company. 150 acres of the cane within a few miles of Tempe Something like forty acres were planted on a plot just west of Tempe a year ago and very profitable yield was secured.
 There was an attempt on the part of the farmers of the Tempe section in the cane industry and while they did interest few. their efforts went little farther. The company itself is increas- ing it's acreage on this side the river this Year and is now cultivating some- thing over one hundred and fifty acres, forty acres in plot west of town, and the remainder three miles south.
 That sugar cane will make a good yield in the soil of the Tempe country has been demonstrated to advantage for years past. but there has never yet been enough of an incentive presented to induce the farmer to cultivate enough of the cane to supply demand beyond his own use. From the sandy soil of the river bottom to as far south as the cultivated land below Kyrene, the crop has been seen to grow in good stands. but it has generally been raised only with the idea of filling the miscel- laneous demand about the farm. The progress of the cane industry as promoted by the sugar company. will be watched with interest by many of the Tempe farmers this season. The crop has made good start so far this season.
