The following Philadelphia dispatch,
carried by the Associated Press, nail
ing to the ross a widely circulated
and oft repeated lie, is of sufficient in
terest to warrant its reproduction:
"Charged with conspiracy to print and
circulate what purported to be an
oath taken by candidates for the
fourth degree of the Knights of Co.
lumbus, Charles Megonigal, a printer,
of 42O1 Brown street, and Clarence H.
Stage, of 4123 Lancaster avenue have
been indicted. Megonigal, who is a
former policeman and coroner's de-
putty, was indicted on four counts and
Stage on two. 1t is charged that the
papers alleged to have been circulated
by the defendants constitute IA mali
cious, false, blasphemous and Indecent
libeP' on the Knights of Columbus as
an organization and on James A..
Flaherty, Philip A. Hart and Charles
B. Dowds, as members of the fourth
degree. Flaherty is supreme knight
of the order, and Hart is master of the
fourth degree. The language of the
"oath' is of the most violent and
fanatical character. From time to
time it has made its appearance in
different parts of the country. Megoni-
gal and Stage were arrested last
February. In his testimony at the
magistrates hearing Flaherty denied
absolutely that the Knights of Colum-
bus is an oath bound order. He said
no oath is taken by any member or
officer of the organization"

THE two-cent law has been upheld
by the U. s. Supreme Court. Now, l
eve was a shouter for the act limit
ing railway fares to two cents a mile.
I always thought three cents was a
reasonable charge, and, compared
with the cost of other means of trans
p~ortation, very low. The thing that
CALLED my untutored mind when Judge
Mcpherson "injuncted" the author
tiles from applying the law, was, that
any n man, be never SO wise,
should have the power to nullify an
enactment-not per Sc unconstitution-
al-expressing the will of three million
citizens of a sovereign State. 1t didn't
look to me consistent with the
peoples rule then, and it doesn't now.
But I'm all u~nlettered in applied law.
THERE has recently been formed an
organization of the chairmen of the
Democratic Central COMMITTEES Of a
number of the counties in the eastern
part of Missouri. Such an organiza-
tion certainly ought to strengthen the
Democracy in that section. 1t will
give to the weaker counties an impet-
us and to the stronger ones 1t will
make them even more of a factor in
state politics. The territory included
in the organization extends fir ON Lin
coin county on the north to Bollinger
on the south, and from Gasconade on
the west to the Mississippi on the east.
The meeting to organize was held in
st. Louis and most of the counties
were represented, those in attendance
being decidedly optimistic as to the
results that might be obtained if all
worked together. 1t is expected to
concentrate efforts on the primary
and general elections and to helping
the best men into office. Brice Ed
wards of st. Charles is at the head of
the organization as chairman; Tom
l.. Gibson, st. Louis, secretary; Dr.F.
E. Hinch, Ste. Genevieve, treasurer.
These men are used to the brunt of
battle and will do their full part tow
ard achieving Democratic seccess.
