val journeys to Tucson this
afternoon in company with many
Nogales people who will be pres;
ent at the imposing ceremony
which will be held in the cathed
raj of that city and conducted
by Bishop Gerke.
Father Duval will be one of
three to receive the accolade OF
ecclesiastical Donors, the other
two being Rt. Rev. Peter Tim
mermans, vicar general of the
Tucson diocese, and the Rt Rev.
Edward Gerard, chaplain of the
Mercy hospital at Prescott.
The ceremony will be conduct
ed by the Rt. Rev. Daniel James
Grecke. D. D., bishop of the
Catholic diocese of Tucson. which
embraces the entire state of Ari
zOna.
The ceremony Of the three
monsignori will be the most i'm
pressive ceremony held by the
Catholic church of Arizona since
the installation of Bishop Gercke
three years ago. Half han
dree priests from various parts
of the state are expected to be
in attendance, as we'll as hun
dreds of local and visiting lay,
men.
There are no prescribed cere.
monies for the investiture of do
nestle prelates. The rank is
much the same in the church as
is the rank of general or admiral
in the army or navy. The pro
motion is an appointment to an
honor which requires no special
introduction, such as is custo,
mary at the conservation of a
bishop or the coronation of a
king. The insignia are those Of
rank and honor, not of Office in
the strict sense of the word.
The dignity is not a sacred or
sacramental one in the church,
but is connected with it's tenn.
poral administration.
Bishop Gercke will deliver a
sermon in English and the Rev.
Antonio Boquet, pastor of the
Sacred Heart church of Bisbee,
will give a sermon in Spanish.
After a procession into the ca

Washington From
Human Viewpoint

Mr.. Charles Moore of Washing
ton, on the occasion of the recent
unwilling of a Washington statue
admonished the assembled specta'
tors not TO keep Washington on q
pedestal, but to bring him down
among them, for he was n OF
them, human. as they were human.
All the heroes of history had
their weaknesses, their human limi-
tations. Their greatness is only
greatness when considered from
this human point of view.
On the other hand it is neither
desirable nor necessary to dwell
unduly upon their faults when
there is such inspiration in their
virtues. There can be no just
quarrel with Mr.. Rupert Hughes.
who is doing merely what others
have done in reminding US that
Washington had a high temper.
that he sw0re on occasions. that
he played cards along with other
gentlemen of his time, that he par
took Of liquor, also in keeping with
the custom of the day, or that he
was not unfailing in his attendance
at church. Washington was a gen
fleman, but as a soldier he had. in
his earlier days, experienced some
of the rough going of frontier life.
He knew the profane vocabulary of
the time. and while there Is no rec
ord that he was gratuitously pro-
fame, ~"cussing" merely for the sake
of being emphatic, il is a matter Of
record that he could go into a rage
and draw on that vocabulary. Per
haps the most noted OF the tongue
lashings that have gone into history
was that which Washington gave
Gen. Charles Lee for the latter's
incompetence and ignominious fail
ure at the battle of Monmouth, for
which he was court-martialed and
dismissed from the army.
No higher tribute ever was paid
Washington than by his intimate
associate, Thomas Jefferson. In
that tribute Jefferson says: His
temper a. naturally irritable and
high-toned, but reflection and reso-
luton had obtained a firm and ha-
bitual a~scendency over it. If. how
ever, 1t broke bonds. he was most
tremendous in wrath. On
the whole his character was, in its
mass. perfect, in nothing bad, in
a few points Indifferent: and it may
truly be said that never did nature
and fortune combine more perfect
ly to make a man great. and to
place him in the same constellation
with whatever worthless have mer-
tied from man an everlasting re-
membrane"
