Defends Methods
Used in Handling
Immigrant Problem

WASIIINGTON-The recent protest
of the British Ambassador against Ellis
Island methods was promptly met by
the Secretary Of Labor with an invita-.
ton to visit. with him. the american
gateway through which immigrants
pass. and see for himself that the
twisted sentimentality of those who
rush into print with criticisms of the
immigration Service is u~nwarranted.
\ very severe criticism was recently
registered with the department regard
ing the deportation Of one member OF
an immigrant family and the retention
Of the rest Of the family IN these
shores. Friends of the deported immi-
grant, a young woman, went SO far as
to take her Off the ship returning her
to port of embarkation by means of a
writ Of habeas corpus. In a public let.
ter, Secretary Of Labor Davis reveals
that the deported alien was afflicted
with a highly dangerous and conta-
gious disease, and that the law specif-
ically provides that non such be adj
mitted to American shores.

panions and co-laborers, you must
always bear in mind that you are
serving in the army of the Lord, Of
God, who always has reserves and
in good time will always refill your
ranks and increase them, provided
as l say, you continue to serve God
in fidelity and confidence.
These are a few of the thoughts,
dear friends, that occur to me to-
day at the death of Mother Paul.
And now that we are about to
place her body to rest, confide it to
the grave for the day of resurrection,
| cannot excuse you from remem-
ber1ng her in your prayers and other
good works. We may have virtues,
many virtues, still the best are not
without fault, and in being without
fault we are not unstainless, and not
being unstainless, we have to become
stainless either by personal works of
atonement, or works of atonement
performed by others therefore
ask that you remember in your
prayers and in other good works, the
soul of Mother Paul. The church
exhorts US so to do, not only here at
the bier of sister, but always, al
ways, when any of her children are
laid to rest.
May the soul of Mother Paul rest
in peace, and may the souls of all
the faithful departed through the
mercy of God rest in peace. Amen"

FRANCISCAN ORATOR
EULOGIZES LIFE Of
SISTER MARY PAUL

Following is the eulogy pronounced
over Mother Mary Paul, superior of
st. Joseph's sanatorium, who was
buried from st. Marys Catholic
church Thursday morning. The eu-
logy was pronounced by the Rev. FIR
Novatus Benzing, pastor of st.
Mary's:
1--WE are gathered to do honor to
the memory of a venerable woman,
commonly known as Mother Paul,
known throughout the city and
throughout the state. In what esteem
she is held by the ecclesiastical au-
thority is evidenced by the presence
of our right reverend bishop, who
came to celebrate the holy mass for
the repose of the soul of Mother Paul,
and coming to do it although just at
present in very feeble health, but with
reason, for Mother Paul is a pioneer
apostle of charity in the diocese of
Tucson.
"Legions are they to whom she
ministered in sickness, Or whom she
consoled in affliction or whom she
instructed in 1.-THE rudiments of reli-
gion and secular knowledge, or whom
she encouraged in their despair, or
whom she soethed in their sorrows.
1t was a holy ambition, dear friends,
a holy ambition enkindled by the love
of Him who came to preach the gos-
pei to the poor and to heal the af-
flicted--it wasa'a holy ambition, this
holy ambition famed into flames by
the remembrance of Gods call to
Abraham: Leave thy country, leave
thy kindred, and go into the land that
l will show yod'-it was this holy
ambition that ftnpelled Mother Paul
to join the Sisters of Mercy in the
prime of life when the worlds attrac-
tions pervert so many hearts, but lit
tie did Mother Paul think at that time
when she vowed to God personal pow
erty, absolute chastity and perfect
obedience to spiritual head, spirit
ual superior, that the command of
God to Abraham, Go into the land
that l will show thee would find a
literal fulfillment in her.
little did she at that time sur
mise that when She pronounced her
vows, she vowed to leave her beloved
native land of Ireland, with its ever
green valleys and silvery lakes, en-
chanting groves, d Cod fearing peo-
pie and peaceful homes with religion

most magnificent churches in every
town--to leave these things and go
to a land of barren plains, of desert
wastes, of uncultured people and
with churches of her faith of un-
scenic proportions and found hun
dreds of miles apart.
A call came from this land, this
state OF ours, through the bishop Cf
the then struggling diocese of Tue
son, comprising all of our state and
a part of the state of New Mexico
and part of the state of Texas; the
call came, a petition. or rather sup
plication, plea to the Sisters of
Mercy Of Ireland, for what? To
come and help meet the spiritual and
physical needs of the people Of the
diocese and thus bring the blessings
Of the meek and humble Savior and
the holy deeds that He inspires more

bankruptcy" or "a child's step in the
right direction" everybody interest
ed felt that whatever the outcome,
the conference had done much to
build UP in America International
mindedness, the thing that must come
If the world is to survive. Organiza-
tion is the need of the peace move
ment and 1t is hoped that the end of
the conference will see the beginning
of a state by state organization de-
voted to caring for the propaganda
and the politics Of world federation,
ending in the substitution of law for
war.
Women's National Party
A subject much in the air, though
not yet introduced and theSefore, not
yet before the wonens organizations
of the country. is the blanket amend
ment Of the Women's National party,
which, in its present proposed draft.
asks for the removal of all political,
civil and legal disabilities or an
equalities on account of sex. The
Arizona republican., 1922-01-08

main idea is to eradicate everything
that keeps women in a position Of
inferiority. Politically, this will give
women suffrage in our overseas pos
sessions. 1t will give them the right
Of jury service, right to hold office.
to manage their own earnings, have
equal guardianship of their children,
to make contracts, to sue and be
sued, to sign papers, to inherit equal
money and to leave property as the
woman chooses, etc, etc.
The fear is that this amendment
may undo Industrial welfare legisla-
'tion, such as the eight-hour law and
the minimum wage, for these have
been upheld by the courts on the
ground that women having special
disabilities and functions to perform
are entitled to special laws. Posi-
bly, the police power of the state to
protect its people would still main
tain these laws, but the noble wom-
en- who have worked so very hard for
this welfare legislation are naturally
Arizona republican., 1922-01-08

on to establish the principle OF fed
eral aid in education by passing the
Fess- -Capper bill. 1t calls for federal
aid for states that pass proper
physical educational laws. This move
has behind 1t many southern Demo-
Gratis and the national Republican
party-a respectable backing that.
if the women viii only work, must
put it over the top. Its vision is a
young America, a 100 per cent. fit
in place Of the $3.50 young America
Of today.
Prohibition
Jail sentences for the rum runner
and the bootlegger - this was the
recommendation of the prohibition
subcommittee of the women S
joint congressional committee to all
locals that stand for law enforcement.
The bill to place prohibition officials
under civil service was presented by
Mrs. Oakley OF the General Fedora :
tion of Women's Clubs. 1t is said
that most of the temperance people
will favor the principle but want a
specially guarded law, one that does
not demand that agents have prior
police experience as their fear is this
might cut out from service many able
agents.
Valuation Plan
The American valuation plan of the
Fordney tariff bill was referred to the
lockout committee of the women's
joint congressional committee for in
Vestigation. The idea is this, that
whereas the custom has been to place
our tariffs on the foreign price of
goods, now we should place 1t on top
OF the American prices. 1t is feared
that this will make the price Of many
household goods sky-rocket, and with
wages coming down it cannot help
the many to have prices going up.
Moreover, this measure will make it
harder for foreign goods to get
market here and thus hurt world
trade at the very moment when ev-
erything should be done to resusci-
tate it. AT least his is the contention
Of the consumers committee opposed
to American valuation plan in the
Fordney tariff bill and they are ask
ing the women's organizations IT the
country to study the question. Their
address is lat Ninety fourth street,
New York city.
Naturalization
1t seems probable that a bill will
be introduced that shall give equal
citizenship to all women and grant
money for Americanization of foreign
women. Several women's organiza-
tions stand ready to support some
such bill.
Disarmament

ton War adopting itself to world

women.
A state law similar to the amend
ment is being intrd huced into the 4
states. Associated charities woul
do well to have til p lawyers on thei
boards see which sffect, il any. thes
state laws will have on the protectiv
