Dear Sir: Having been a constant

free on street cars and trains, moves
ME to enter nay feeble protest.
have noticed for number of years
that these Sisters ride free, on the
street cars Of Atlanta, and lately L
have talked with conductors and
motormen about it, with the idea Of
finding out where the order origi-
mates. 1t seems from conversations
with thenl> that there is no written
order to that effect, but it is under
stood that all branches Of the Ro-
man Catholic denomination be al
lowed to ride free. If necessary, |

thoritatiye source, that a police rule
had been recently been passed in
New Orleans, making q candidate

garCfless of his other qualifications,
unless he is a raember of the Knights
Of Columbus. I merely pass it ON
for what it is worth. You probably
know Of it already. | have found
from converse ions from prominent
travelling statesmen, who are Protest
ants, that Catholics detest the name
Roman attached to their name.
These men tell me that they have
noticed when they refer to the Ro-
man church or the Romanists, in the
presence of one, that in nine cases
out of ten they take umbrage at it.
One of these men suggested to me
some time agO that a nation wide
movement be started among Protest
ants to educate them to refer to this
organization as the Roman church,
and to it's members as ROmanists, as
the most effective way to curb their
activities We are all Catholics, and,
I for one, do not wish my religion
confused with the Roman organiza-
ton.
I am enclosing you 10 cents in
stamps for which please send me by
return mail a copy of the Fourth
Degree Oath of the Knights Of Co
Iumbus. I am more or less familiar
with the text Of it, and wish it for
friend who wishes to be shown. In
conversation with this friend re-
Gently, he mentioned to me in
proud way that his young son had
Just completed his Fourth Degree in
this foreign secret society. This man
is not q Romanist, but his wife is
an indifferent member of the Roman
church, and, OF course, he is entirely
ignorant of the dangerous course his
son is taking.
While our political views may not
coincide in every respect, I am with

croachment.

The high school and the Mills team
have both seen defeat twice, and the
captains are eager to win the game
tomorrow. Captain Takeuchi of the
Manoa hooters is working his team
overtime and by the showing his
squad has made in the past games, the
McKinleyites will have TO put in some
good work IL they want to win. Cap
tain Kahalewai has still found it hard
getting the men out for soccer but
he will rely on the few hard workers
to do the business. Neither the Mills
nor the Highs have the advantage of
a heavier team so that aggregation
which puts up the best class of asso

points which will come in handy when
