Tho following porlodlcals have boon added to tho reading room equipment at tho City Library: Musical Amorlca a weekly, Boys' Life, tho Scouts' monthly, Photoplay, for the movie fan. Tho warm weather of tho month promised a good record for March but tho wholo thing was overthrown when a chill north wind set in Satur day noon and with flings of rain and Bnow spoiled Saturday night and made Sunday only bearable And it was Easter. There Is some difference of opinion aa to whether thero was enough moisture fell Sunday to count In tho weather during tho next soven weeks but It surely counted Sunday in making a disagreeable day. It Is warm again today. At a special election called for last Saturday the Articles of Incorporation of the Mutual Building and Loan As sociation were changed so that the limit of tho Capital Stock was removed thus permitting the Association to wow as fast as necessary. At the timothoorlginal constitution was made tho amount of the Capital Stock was set at a figure which at that time seemed tho limit. When that figure was reached It was necessary to stop the growth or change the figure. It was finally decided that' no limit Is necessary and the Articles of Incor Toratlon adopted Saturday removes this limit.

To tho Editor nnd tho Tribune: 1 I am proud of my views so will not hide them uudor tho name of "A Tax Payor" or any othor disguise. Thoro are somo of us who think that Sunday Is not tho Lord's day but tho peoples.' It's only usofulnoss Is In being a day reserved for relaxa tion from tho routine duty of gain ing a living to rojnvlgorato tho in dividual In preparation for another turn In life's wheel. According to some people, all in stitutions except the churches should be" obliged to closo their doors to all seekers of amusement on Sunday. My undefined defender of tho "Lutheran Helper" assumes that tho solo seem ly way to observe Sunday is to de vote our time to religious endeavors. This Is very truo for all those of that mind but many of my rlcnds have a different conception of an Ideal day of rest. Admitting this to bo tho greatest country on earth, wo say It is duo to our standards of liberty. To permit any institution to qestlon our right to spend our Sunday as wo think fit when It Is not unlawful, Is a most flagrant reversal of tho history of our country with Its reputation as a llboty-lovlng people. Tho church should no moro mako our laws for Sunday than for Monday. Wo have passed tho days of our Blble-law-abldlng nncestors. They were ad vocates of toleration-toleration for those who abided by their particular Interpretation. No church has a right to say that wo mtist go and hear a sermon and perform a religious ceremony on Sun day or go no where. Because of such a policy wo hear "Sunday is such a long, dead day." Man is found at his work six days and demands to bo entirely freo tho seventh. The church man. finds pleasure in going to church nnd praying but this gives him no right to limit others to such a course. Thoso who prefer other amusement havo never proposed to prohibit a person from going to church on Sunday. If Sunday plcturo shows could in any way Interfere with a man's right to go to church wo could understand tho deslro to keep the Sunday Shows closed. Ono some times doubts tho. slncerety of the expounders of religion because of their willingness to base their plea for support upon tho merits of their case.. They seem to fear that tho free What A Mayor Can't; Do. From Dame Rumor, who by the way, seems to be a very busy character these days, T have learned that those whd are apposing my election, as Mayor say, that if I ever assume that office, the following things will happen: The Parochial school will be closed. There would be no Fourth of July. The movies, theatres and ppol halls would be closed, playing cards and dancing within the city limits prohib ited. i The gymnasium will be abolished and athletic instruc tion in the Schools stopped. It lias not yet been charged that I will close the Union Pacific depot or Palace Cafe, but there is sufficient time in the campaign yet for these charges to be made. Of course, every one of these statements is untrue, and are circulated to prejudice the voters against my can didacy. Voters today, however, have, enough intelligence' to know that no Mayor could do these things even if he desired, and that no man of ordinary common sense would even attempt such tilings. Tho Mayor can make no lawk, rules or ordinances. The Council alone, has power to make ordinances and even their power is sp limited that they could do nothing of the kind. In fact the President of the United States never had power enough to do such things. v As to Sunday Movies, this question will be settled ono way or the other, depending upon whether or not the votes for or against the Sunday Movies are the greater. The people's decision upon election day, upon this point, will be final and tho Mayor or Council cannot reverse it. It is to be expeoted that those who are worried about my election will circulate stories, but one would think that they might find some stories not so ridiculous. No doubt other stories will be hereafter circulated and I presume the best will bo saved for tho last, but doubtless all the stories will all be of thesame calibre. Sincerely, WM. E. SHUMAN. J. C.
