THE IRISH SETTLEMENT.

Gradually the age-old problem
Of Ireland and her rights is being
adjusted. The other day the Dali
chose Griffith to lead the fortunes
of the nation from now on The
vote was close, and De Valera is
said now to be ready to head the
republican party. In other words,
he will continue to uphold the
principles for which the vast ma
jority OF the Irish people elected
him on two occasions. So far the
people have not spoken through
the ballot with regard to the So
called treaty. The Dali has de-
clared for it, but the nation so far
is inarticulate from the viewpoint
Of a vote.
It is we'll to remember that the
people of Ireland demanded a re-
public. They voted and fought
and died for absolute freedom
Lloyd George wreaked terrible
vengeance on the patriots, and
then with a gun at their Threats
offered them a substitute. De
Valera simply intends to continue
the fight and the cause for which
he was elected. While willing to
aid the officials Of his country, he
declares his intention Of never
surrendering his former princi-
pies. 1t is a question Of policy
the Dali prefers a part loaf to
none, while the former president
of the republic will be satisfied
with nothing less than the COM
plete triumph of right.

A NATIVE S|sTERHOOD
LITTLE SISTERS OF OUR LADY OF
GUINEA, NAME OF NEW lNSTI-
TUTE ESTABLISHED IN AFRICA
VICARlATE.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.


Establishment of native sister
hood in the Vicariate of Guinea in
Africa was one of the distinctive
works accomplished under the aus
pices of the Holy Ghost Fathers last
year.
The members of the order will be
called the Little Sisters of Our Lady
of Guinea" and they owe their be-
ginning to the faith of little child
trained in the orphanage of the Sisters
of st. Joseph, who expressed desire
to devote her life to helping the SIS
| tiers in their work.
The nuns hesitated about encourag.
ing her, but as time went on the
child grew to maidenhood and show
ed marked signs of religious yoca-
ton. In July, 1919, Bishop Lerouge
| gave the maiden religious habit and
when in Rome, attending a general
chapter of his order, drew up consti-
itutions for congregation of native
NUNS. He was encouraged to open a
| novitiate at the mission of Conakry,
| under the direction of a Sister of St.
Joseph.
On January 6, 1921, Bishop Lerouge
received the vows of the first, Little
Sister of Our Lady of Guinea" The
sisters have a simple habit consisting
of a cream-colored robe with blue
| cincture and crucifix hanging from
| the neck on blue cord. Over the
| shoulders they wear a short cape and
| the head is covered with white
bonnet and veil. The principal work
of the congregation will be in the in
terror missions of Africa. The foun-
dation is in conformity with the views
of Pope Benedict XIV, who has urged
the foundation of native missionary
organizations in the foreign missions.

THE MEMS COUNCIL.

Last week the organization of
local branches Of the National

Committees formed a general plan
Of activities. Officers were chosen,
and a step was taken toward the
formation of parish units. The
stage is being set, and it but re-

We are a talkative people, but we

The general plan of activities
proposed by the new council has
been drawn from actual condi-

Al Congress of Missions, which as

Spain. In the Incompatible cathe-
dral where rest the remains of the
Cid, the Spirit of God descended upon
the Spanish prelates and clergy in
order that they may revive the evan
gelical mission of their race.
Two years ago, when Cardinal Ben
loch was promoted from the bishopric
of Urgel to the archdiocese of Burgos,
he received from the Holy Father the
request to found in that city a Sem
mary of Foreign Missions. The &C.
tive prelate promptly carried out the
desire of His Holiness. The semi
nary was opened last year, and now
on its first anniversary, there has
been held missionary congress which
was attended by priests and semi

The Spanish Missions

those which are supporting missions
today succeeded in founding Catholic
nations. Spain along has created
twenty states whose laws and customs
are based on Catholicism. The mis-
siOnary fervor, however, although it
never entirely disappeared among the
Spanish clergy, greatly diminished
during the last hundred and fifty
years.
At the Burgos Congress, it was de
cided to organize in every diocese Of
the nation the Missionary Union of
the Clergy. At the same time, the
great missionary works already in
existence will be reorganized on a
new basis. 1t is intended also to
establish society of Saint Peter the
Apostle for the training of a native
clergy.
At the congress called by the Car
dinal of Burgos, $50 papers were pre-
sented, many of which received prizes
of 500 pesetas and the corresponding
diploma. Among the seminarians re-
ceiving awards was Cuban negro
who is studying in the Seminary of
Foreign Missions of Burgos.
The number Of students in the Sem
mary of Foreign Missions has jncrcas-
ed so rapidly, and the plan contem-
plated is so vast, that the Cardinal
has decided to build another and a
larger seminary in which young men
from Spain and America who desire
to devote themselves to missionary
work may live and study. A pious
woman has given a large property on
| which the new building is TO be
erected, and the Cardinal hopes soon
to lay the cornerstone.

it, III a way, approaches nearer

4. I87EFF To- ~ n :
THE MODERN PAGAN IDEA.

One of the theories OF ancient
paganism was that physical dis
ability or imperfection was posi-
tive detriment to the state. Pla-
to suggested that the deformed,
the manned and the Weakling
should at birth be destroyed, thus
insuring nation of perfect be-
ings. AS for slaves, they were IN
the class of the worn out Jade or
the used up burro-fit only to
feed the lampreys in private or
public aquaria.
Modern civilization has done
away with slavery. A human be-.
ing is, at least legally, supposed
| to possess the right to existence.
In the case Of certain classes,
however, the modern theory, in
some quarters at any rate, is that
they should be gently sent into the
next world. In other words,
chloroform is the means OF rid
ding the world Of such useless
lives. This has been proposed by
certain physicians during the past
year or so.
Recently a nationally known
daily made this statement: Eu-
thanasia for the criminal insane
would be the most rational meth

For the benefit OF all con-
cerned, dangerous irresponsibles

1t is not easy to discover a
more evident, unequivocal and
bare-faced profession Of down
right atheism in it's most degrad-
ed form than these few lines con-
vey. At a stroke of the pen, they
give the lie to the existence OF
God, the Immortality Of the soul
and the very nature of a rational
being. Correction here means
destruction the care of the un-
fortunate leads to plain murder
something worse than the . Grim
inal insane themselves can ac-
complish, for this plan indicates a
direct, deliberate and thought-out
method of unjustly ending human
life. God is entirely left out OF
the system, God who gave life and
who alone is master thereof. Capt.
tai punishment in certain eases is
wholly justified; the murder of
the demented, rational creature
adds refined cruelty to injustice
and barbarity. $685.. ....
The obvious possibility of doing
away with troublesome rival by
means Of euthanasfa, just as at
lpresent, not i11freduently, sane
lpcrsons are thrust into insane asy-
llums for radiance, would appeal
strongly to the constituencies.
Nay more, such a method would
have distinct advantages over the
present evil in that the dead usual
lily stay dead. Disregard for human
life is growing rapidly. The count
less accidental killings, deliberate
murders and the satanic birth-con-
ftroI horror, all combine to give hui
man life rather low rating at
lpresent. =
If euthanasia shotld be adopted
for the insane or the incurable,

THE CHURCH UNITY OCTAVE.

AT the meeting of the Her
archy, held in Washington last
September, it was unanimously de-
cided by the assembled bishops
that in the future the Feast OF
Unity Octave be celebrated uni
versally throughout all the do
ceses of the Church in the United
States of America. Cardinal
Dougherty, who spoke warmly in
favor of the celebration, added
that such was also the desire OF
the Sovereign Pontiff.
For some years, Christians OF
every creed have been praying
and laboring for some kind OF
unity among those who believe in
Christ. 1t is therefore most en-
coura eing now that the bishops OF
America, uniting with the inten-
lions of the Holy Father, should
by unanimous action invite all
Catholics of this country to have
recourse to prayer during this De-
tave. The purpose Of this action
is to bring all men into the fold
of Christ.
"A Plenary Indulgence has been
granted by the Holy Father to
every one of the faithful who on
the first or last day Of the Octave
shall receive Holy Communion
under the usual conditions. The
Octave extends from the Feast OF
St. Peters Chair, January Is, to
that of the Conversion Of st. Paul
January %. 1t is also recommend
ed that at least one decade of the
Rosary be said for this particular
intention. The following prayer
is to be recited daily during the
Octave: s... .l4

PREPARING MATERIAL
 FOR FAIR EXHIBITS

At this time of the year every farmer who has pride in the crop he has produced and pride in his country is planning on winning as many premiums as possible at his county and state fairs. Since Arizona has not held a State Fair for two years, the Fair this year should be big- ger and better than ever. Ev- cry exhibit should be of the best material available and presented in the most attract i've way, says s. P. Clark, As sistant Agronomist, University of Arizona.
 In preparing exhibit material of field crops, alfalfa. soy beans, clovers, grasses, etc, 1t must be very carefully handled. Only tall, healthy, leafy sam ples should be selected and these should be gathered when in prime condition. They should
