SERIOUS ACCIDENT
(Hy Edward Jones)

Mrs. Al Strickland met with very
painful accident when last week she
sustained sprained ankle. She is
suffering considerable pain. However,
no serious developments are antici-
pated. A most peculiar circumstance
in connection with the accident was
that it occurred on a day the Tri-
hume was to be delivered and Mrs
Strickland, who by the way, is an
enthusiastic reader OF that journal,
managed to get to the telephone and
call the representative of the Tribune
telling him that she was very lone
some without her paper. Mr.. AL

has been informed of the accident.
We wish for her a speadv recovery.

We wish them success in their new
home.

NJ. E. churches on last Sunday were
quite impressive. Both places en-
joyed a good attendance. We are

financially.

CAMPBELL FAYORS
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
FOR ALL MUROERERS
Editor Phoenix Tribune.


Dear Sir: ! am advised that l have
been quoted as saying taht if elected
governor | would recommend to the
state legislature to put capital punish
ment in effect for the Mexicans and
Negroes.
This statement is so manifestly abb
surd that hardly deem it worthy of
reply. Anyone familiar wit hour form
of government knows it would be inn
possible to put any such law into ef-
feet.
l did say that favored the restora-
tion of capital punishment in Arizona
because of the great increase in the
Der of murders since it's abolition.
As a matter of fact, you and know
that the great majority of murders
committed here in Maricopa county in
the past year or two have been com
mitted, not by Negroes, but by white
men.
The only thing which | said in my
speech that could possibly have been
distorted into the statement which
you heard quoted as made by me was
that the majority of crimes, particu
larly in the southern portion of the
state, were committed among the illit-
crate element of the Mexieans, Ne
groes and the white people
Thanking you for bringing the mat
ter to my attention, | am, sincerely
yours, T. e. CAMPBELL.

DUBUQUE COLLEGE
CAMPAIGN FOR ENDOWMENT is
PROGRESSING FAVoRABLY -
LARGE SUM is RAISED.

The campaign for the endowment
of Dubuque College, Dubuque, Iowa,
is making excellent progress. Priests
and parishes canvassed to date have
subscribed over 100000, and many of
the larger parishes of the archdiocese
have as yet not been asked to con-
tribute. Some of the late reports
give these gratifying figures: Han
over, 100000; Hampton and out mis-
sions, $4,000; Eagle Center, $4,000;
st. Joseph's Church, CrescO, $4,000,
expecting several thousand more; Os-
sian, $4,000, with at least $4,000 more
in sight; Dougherty, $4,000. A great
number of parishes have given $4,000
and over.
The priests of the archdiocese en-
gagged in the work of canyassing state
that wherever they go they are met
with a hearty welcome and whole
seuled generosity. According to pres
ent plans the general campaign will
conclude few weeks after Easter,
when the eight parishes of Dubuque
will unite in joint campaign.

RELIGIOUS AMENITIES.

1t is a noteworthy fact that GUS
toms in Catholic countries fire.
quently differ greatly from the
usages to be found in non-Catho-
lie lands. While doctrine and be-
lief are identical everywhere,
there arc certain religious prac-
tees, small if you will, that might
be termed religious amenities. In
this sense Right Reverend Bishop
Then, recently appointed to the
See of Denver, has made this OBJ
servation:
every two or three persons
the clergy meet on the street in
the East are Catholic, and every
one Of them touches his hat when
passing by. In Denver | do not
know whether it is because there
arc so few Catholics, or, why it
might be, but very seldom are the
clergy saluted in this way. 1t
may be the Western way of act
ing. / know that the heart of the
great West is there, but it sell
dom finds this outlet of external
expression"
This observation has often been
made by others throughout the
West. 1t would seem to indicate
either excessive timidity or plain
carclessness OH the part of our
Catholic laity in the West. While
not a serious matter i'll itself, the
observance of this practice tends
to cement more closely the two
great forces of the Church-clergy
and laity.
Another practice which seems
to be sadly neglected i'll some
parts Of the country is that of
raising the hat in salute when
passing a Catholic Church. In
many large cities it is the usual
thing to see passersby, including
motormen, conductors, policemen
and others who daily pass our
churches, raise the hat in rever-
ent salute when passing a Catholic
Church. This is a most elemental
act of courtesy towards Him Who
reigns humbly and meekly ever
in the Tabernacle.

LOVE OF PRAISE.

1t is a human frailty to- want
praise. We begin young to crave
the approving notice Of others.
"There is none like to me-" says
the cub in the pride Of his earliest
kill. ''But the jungle is large,
and the cub he is small; let him
think and be still. Children
brought up in school can gener-
ally be told from those who have
been trained solidarity, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger,
for the children thrown much
with other children are less likely
to develop arrogance, selfishness
and conceit. They do not find
their schoolmates in a frame of
mind to put them on a pedestal
or crown their brows with laurel.
They are not regarded as little
tin gods ON wheels: they are lost
to sight in the shuttle of the class
room and the playground. No
body defers to their opinions; no.
body minds when they stamp the
foot and shout angrily.
Children of larger growth
often crave an admiration which
they do not get. They think to
draw an audience by harping on
the theme of self, and they find
that the audience for that kind
/ of recital is likely to be limited
to the performer. To knock the
9I' out of ones conversation is
not necessarily to make it inter
esting. Many times narrative
loses greatly in pith and pun
gency by the impersonality in
which it is couched. A story OF
adventure greatly gains by the
sense of the first-hand participa-
ton of the narrator in the Incl
dents he describes. When the first
person is introduced for the sake
of the edifcation of the reader,
there need be no apology; when
| it is introduced for the glorifica-
ton of the speaker, it is odious
altogether.

OUR INDIAN BRETHREN
FATHER KETCHAM SHOWS GREAT
NEED OF HELP FOR MIS-
SiONS.

Rev. DR.. w. H. Ketcham writes:
The response to our appeal for the
year 1916 was $9,992.29; while our
appeal for the year 1917 has brought
in only $7,746.92, falling off of ST.
249.37. These figures speak for them
selves and are not encouraging. 1t is
true we are going through a season
OF great stress and the clouds lower
on all sides, but we are closing our
eyes to difficulties: we are steeling
our hearts against encouragement,
and pla cling our faith in God, to Whom
all things are possible. Dear friends,
do not desert us in this season of
need. 1t is time when every one is
making great sacrifices. While max
ing sacrifices for our beloved country.
and while responding to appeals from
all sides, do not forget the appeal for
souls. Temporal blessings pass away,
but things eternal remain. The gain
ing of the soul is an everlasting gain.
Come. then, to the rescue of the In
dians! Let every effort be put forth
to enable the Church to discharge
her obligations toward these depend
ent people. -

An interesting sidelight is
thrown upon his work in this
country i'll document still found
in the original French. This was
the establishment in Paris of an
Ecclesiastical Agency in 1910.
The object of this Agency, as ex-
planned by Father Brassac in a
long letter, was to act as the per-
sonal representative of all the
American Bishops in their rela-
lions with the Society for the
Propagation Of the Faith, and in
other matters Of Importance: The
letter relates how Father Brassac,
having had long experience on
the American missions, was also

as to the qualifications of various
candidates from different parts of
Europe.
Father Brassac also offered to
act as agent for the Bishops,
priests and institutions in this
country i'll the purchase Of books,
sacred vessels, and all things ne
lcessary for the services Of the
Church and for the needs Of the
different institutions. 1t seems
that Father Brassac in this work
had the appreciation Of many pre-
lates in this country, and also the
encouragement Of Madame Gallit-
Yin, Superioress of the Ladies of
the Sacred Heart Of the United
States. 1t is to be regretted that
no further information is now

Agency may have accomplished

|h2One Of the characteristic traits
of the religious upheaval In the

for what is termed, freedom of

This longing for independent

ried the followers Of the various
reform leaders into strange pre-
dicaments. Freedom of belief
easily leads to universal scepti-
cism "a condition wherein man
is liable to cast doubt upon every

WAsHlNGToN's BIRTHDAY PATRI!
oTlcALLYh OBSERVES AT ST.
cATHERlNE's-sTUDE NTs MAKE
SURGICAL DRESSINGS.

The students and the faculty of the
College of st. Catherine observed
Washington's Birthday by devoting
their time to making surgical dress
ings; over 1000 bandages were folded
during the forenoon.
Early last October Mrs. George L..
Slade formed a Red Cross Auxiliary
of the students of the school. Up to
the first of the year the girls worked
at the Catholic Headquarters. Since
then the supervisors come out to
the school every Friday afternoon,
and the time lost in going to and
from town is utilized in the work
rooms. There are about 1000 band
ages made each week
While they are busy the workers
sing, and often during the course of
the afternoon recite the Rosary, be-
seeching Divine aid for the boys who
will be benefited by those dressings.
Could some of the lads suffering in
France see those happy work-rooms
they would not only find consolation
would join their youthful voices in
singing with the girls their favorite
Peace Hymn:
Heart of Jesus, Heart of Peace
From all diScord send release;
That wars havoc soon may cease
We beseech Thee hear us!
Besides the gauze work on Fridays
both the Sisters and the pupils have
been diligently knitting; seventy
sweaters and ten pairs of socks have
been made at the College. 1t is not
unusual to see the students knitting
at odd moments, especially between
classes.
The infants clothes for the French
| babies are also made at the College
The girls spend their spare hours il
the sewing rooms making these tiny
garments.
