How Did The knights OF Column
bus Hush These Cases Up?
TINE and again the 4th degree knights of
Columbus have been denounced as incipi-
emf traitors to American Institutions because
they owe their allegiance to foreigner who
calls himself the Pope
Ii we had IN this country an armed organi-
cation Of oath-bound subjects of the Daila
Lama, Of the Shiek-ulIslam, or the Greek
Catholic Church Of the Russian empire, our
newspapers would doubtless raise a mighty
howl about it, unless they had been 67ibed to
Keep silence.
Those Americans who take the 4th Degree
Oath of the Knights of Columbus ought not
to be allowed to vote, serve on a jury, or hold
an office.
THEY ARE TRAITORSI
This | have said for at least two years.
Yet when these cowardly foot-kssers tried to
break up my publishing business. they didn't
dare prosecute me for what [ had said about
their traltOrOus secret oath.
They knew that, being a lawyer, [ would
know how to force them to bring all their
secret papers into court, that [ would cross
examine all their officers out of the hearing
of one another, and that no such gang Of plot
ters and traitors could prevent such cross
their treacherous and treasonous faces
But what did they do--this gang Of 30O,-
600 Americans who disgrace their ancestors,
and who are licking the foot of dirty old
Italian priest who says that God appointed
Tim to rule EARTH heaven and hell?
Why, these brave Knights of Columbus
showed their grit and their chivalry by
jumping on two poor printers, in commu-
nifty where the Italian Pope is all-powerful;
and they got these two poor printers to plead
guilty to criminal libel for publishing that
Oath achicb 2cGS> published By your Govern-
ment IN it's Congressional Record.
The press reports say:
Charles Megonigel and c. H. Stage two Phila-
delphia men, charged with conspiracy to libel the
order of Knights of Columbus by printing and
circulating what they purported to be oath
taken by the Knights confessed last Friday that
the circular culumny and untrue; and that
they had been deceived.
The two men pleaded to an indictment in
Philadelphia and following their confessions were
discharged at the instance of James A. Flaherty
supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus. Mr.
Faherty told the court that while the knights of
Columbus, is quasi-secret order, it is in wise
oath-boUnd as liberously pictured in the circulars
These two poor printers do not seem to
have had any lawyers to defend them. The
case has been pending ever since last Spring.
The brave Kni ghts were not required to pro
duce their papers, their ritual, their pledges
or bylaws
They did not produce in court a single
paper.
Their head-traitor was illegally allowed to
swear that their papers did not contain any
thing reasonable.
Everybody knows that Flaherty had no
right to swear to the contents of the paper
when he did not produce it.
Having convicted these two poor laboring
men by allowing rich Catholic to violate
