New Philosophy of Life
This bood had been in great demand
in the Walla Walla library and will
find many friends here among those
interested in new thought. I'VE are
living today in the midst of a great re-
ligious movement that is the more in
teresting because it seems to have been
so spontaneous. The movement to
which 1 refer has come from the laity,
from the rank and file of the people;
it is not a product of the schools.
Wherever you go today you will find
groups of people who are reading and
talking of the spirituaIS. life, people
that you are surprised to, find inter-

role.
Il have always wanted, and I have
always cared for. the strong role
one that tells of real things in hu-
man life, and gives real play to the
emotions. My sympathies are WITH
the girl who has to struggle, and
struggle hard. But it is seldom that
such a role is worthily presented.
There are many Mary Garvins in
the world, it is unfortunate to ad-
mit-girls who struggle, and who are
not only attacked in their physical
well being, but also whose hearts are
wrenched. and whose minds are
strained by the conduct of men who
seek to destroy them. 1t requires a
wonderful play to present such a
character, and l feel that such has
been done in Cheating the Public. "

In- stead of antagonism or even passive acquesence he encountered co-Opera- ton. The mayor of COblenz issued proclamation in which he requested the inhabitants to refrain from all acts of discourtesy or violence and to accord the Americans such assistance as was possible.

MARSHALL HAS NO IDEA OF ACTING
 AS PRESIDENT
Makes This Plain at Cabinet Meeting at Which He Pre- sides; Wilson Passes the Azores Tuesday

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Vice-
 President Marshall presided over
 today's cabinet meeting, at the re-
 quest of President Wilson, who is
 en route to Europe and set, ae-
 cording to the White House staff,
 a precedent in the conduct of
 American executive affairs. No
 other vice-president, so far as rec
 ords show ever presided at a cab
 inet session.
 In taking his seat, Mir Marshall set al rest any theories that he might be acting as president. He said he was attending gthe gathering informally and impersonally, not undertaking to exercise any official duty or function.
 Before going to the White House Mir. Marshall explained that the presi dent, before departing for Europe. ask ed him to preside at the cabinet meet ings and had repeated the request by wireless from the George Washington Mir. Marshall made it plain that he had no idea of exercising the func tion of the President.
 No business requiring the attention of the president developed at the cabinet session, it was said, and the wireless carried no message from Il to the presidential ship.
 The cabinet meeting today was the last which Secretary McAdoo will at tend, as he will be succeeded next Monday by Carter Glass. Mir. Nc Adoo bade farewell to members of the cabinet and attaches of the executive offices. although he will remain ir Washington until January l or unti his successor as director general ol railroads is appointed.
