Supreme Physicians Report

The report of Dr. E. W. Buckley
Of St. Paul, Supreme Physician of the
Knights of Columbus, shows that dur
ing the year ending December 81,
1913, 14,746 insurance applications
were received for sums varying from
$1,000 to $4,000 GIT members died
Turing the past year, the death rate
being 6.96 per 1000 as compared with
1885 in 1912, 1925 in 1911 and IL in
1910.
In regard to the mortality expert.
9nce in 1913 the Supreme Physician
says: '"The probable death loss ac-
cording to the Mortality Table was
1881, 055, while the actual death loss
was only $4,000, which was 8161
per cent of the tabular expectation
he saving being thus $162,055. The
percentage of the actual to the ex-
oected was thus much more favorable
than during the previous year, as
well as more favorable than in all, ex-
cept two of the previous years $50 far
rs computed) .
During the previous nine years the
actual death loss was 1912 per cent
Of the expectation; SO that the expert
9nce for 1913 was decidedly more IA
vorable than the average Of the pre-
vious nine years. For the entire ten
years-from 1904 to 1913, inclusive
the total probable death loss was
S5,895,99 while the actual death loss
was $5,038,00O or 85.45 per cent Of the
expectations"
According to the supreme physician
this is an excellent showing for fra
ternal insurance organization and an
evidence that this department of the
Knights of Columbus is in a splendid
financial condition.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INDICATED

We trust that Catholics, whether
Knights of Columbus or not, will see
to it that the story of this latest
case, is made known in detail to
their non-Catholic friends, and that
no occasion will be allowed to pass
without impressing upon the public
generally the fact that wherever
prosecution has been instituted it has
resulted in showing beyond question
that this oath" is what the Knights
of Columbus and their friends have
always claimed it to be, the foulest
kind of a bigot's libel.
Other Trials.
This is the third and mos. decisive
vindication which the Knights of
Columbus have secured during the
past year The matter first came to
public notice through the courts of
St. Johns, Newfoundland, where a
prosecution was started and the de-
PENDANTS pleaded guilty. A more i'm
portant prosecution, however, took
place in the city of Philadelphia,
where two men, Megonegal and Stage,
were charged jointly with conspiring
to defame certain members of the
Knights of Columbus by causing this
bogus oath to be circulated At the
hearing it appeared that the oath
had been bought in bulk from The
Menace in The beginning, but after.
wards Megonegal had done the print,
ing on his own account. The Men.
ace was called upon by counsel for
these men to give them some assist
ance and it replied in a letter, dated
March 5, 1913, and addressed tc
Leroy N. King, attorney for the de.
PENDANTS: 1--WE do not have any evi-
dence that the oath is the one which
is taken by the members of the
knights of Columbus. We feel sure
that it would be folly for you tc
base your defense on the authenticity
of this document"
The case came to trial at the Quar-
ter Sessions Court in Philadelphia, or
January 80, 1914, before Judge Rob
ert N Wilson The district attorney
was Joseph Taulane; the private
prosecutors were also represented by
| Owen ]. Roberts and Joseph P Calf.
ney; the defendants, in addition tC
Mr. King, had Peter F. MacLaren II
might be stated that the trial judge
the assistant district attorney, the
senior counsel for the private prose
cutors and both attorneys for the de
PENDANTS were nom Catholics.
Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty
took the stand, and under oath testi.
fed that the Knights of Columbus
was not an oath-bound society, and
that the alleged oath was absolutely
false from the first to the last
Megonegal pleaded guilty and Stage
pleaded nolle, whereupon at the re
quest of the compliments the sentence
was suspended,
1t is worthy to comment that this
trial which disclosed the hand of the
Menace, and its confession that it had
printed the "oath" for circulation
without having any evidence that il
was genuine, together with the fact
that the "oath" had been distributed
by the millions and thus become more
or less familiar to the reading public
was given but scant notice in the pub
lie press of this country.

PSALM XLIII.
DEUS AURIBus NosTRIs.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielscher.)

Our fathers taught us, Lord, Thy
ways,
The works Thou wroughtest in ancient
days,
When Thou the gentiles' pride didst
rae.
They won the land not by the sword,
Nor did their arms them strength
afford,
Their triumph, Lord, was in Thy word
Thou art Thyself our Lord and King,
Whose word did strength to Jacob
bring,
A city proud did we enring.
And at our horns and trumps the wall
Of Jericho did quickly fall,
And in Thy name we conquered all
That rose against US. In Thy word
We put our trust, and not the sword
Nor bows we'll bent us hope afford
Forever will we praise Thy name,
Though now cast off and put to shame,
And robbed of strength, is it our
blame?
With us no longer dost Thou go,
Our backs are turned unto the foe,
Who plumber US and overthrow.
Like helpless sheep to slaughter led,
On us exulting foes are fed,
Or scattered far we hide the head.
Thy people for no price are sold,
No reckoning for exchange is told,
And their reproach is manifold.
On SCOTS and jeers our souls are fed,
Our name is as a byword said,
A scorn, a shaking of the head.
Shame sits the ivelong day with me,
My ears hear naught but calumny,
My eyes see but the enemy.
Lord, have we not held fast Thy ways,
Thy covenant kept all our days,
When have our hearts refused Thee
praise?
But Thou hast bowed us to the
ground,
The shades of death encompass us
round,
When in Thy service were we found
To falter, or forget Thy name?
The strangers gods were not our
shame
Search, Lord, our hearts, are we to
blame?
For Thy sake are we slain all day,
AS sheep they count us as they Stay,
Rise, Lord, and cast us not away.
Oh Lord! Why turn away Thy face,
Our souls are humbled in disgrace,
Arise and help this wretched race.

Supreme Secretary'S Report

The following is summary of the
report presented to the convention by
the Supreme Secretary, William j.
Mckinley of New Haven, Conn:
On June &c. 1914, the total member
ship of the organization was 326,85S,
of which 220,577 we're associate mem
bers and 106,281 insurance members
There are now 1870 Councils of the
Order in the different countries in
which it is established, forty-seven of
which were organized during the past
year. The net increase of member
ship for the year ending June 80, 1914,
was 24,784
The mortality experience among in
surance membership during 1913, as
computed by the Consulting Actuary,
was 81.61 per cent of the tabular ex-
pectation which is decidedly more
favorable than that of the previous
nine years.
The collections from all sources dur
ing the year, including special funds,
amounted to $1,S11, 12206. Deducting
disbursements and the balance on
hand at the beginning Of the year. the
assets, exclusive of special funds, is
over $5,000,000, over 100000 of which
was added during the year. By the
remission of the insurance assess
ment for the month of December, 1913,
s108,000 was virtually returned to the
insurance members. The total insur-
ance in force on June 80, 1914, was
S112,2S6,750. During the year $723, Ats
was paid for death benefits and the
5otal amount of death benefits from
The beginning amounts to $7,308,68 go
From the tabular statement of
councils and their membership, in
cluded in the Supreme Secretary's re-
port, we learn that Minnesota has IS
councils with total membership of
9,408, of which 2,454 are insurance and
1854 associate members.

COLU NJ B u
(By Joaquin MiIIer.)

Behind, him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost Of shores,
Before him only shoreless seas.
The good mate said: "Now must we
pray,
For 10! the very stars are gone.
Brave Admiral, speak, what shall ]
say?"
why, say, Sail on! sail on! and on!'''
MY men grow mutinous day by day;
My men grow CHASTITY wan and weak. !"
The stout mate thought of home; a
spray
Of salt wave washed his swarthy
cheek
What shall say, brave Admiral, say,
If we sight naught but seas at dawn"
why, you shall say at break of day,
Sail on! sail on sail on! and on!'"
They sailed and sailed, as winds might
blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
why, now not even God would know
Should I and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Admiral, speak and
say
He said: Sail on! sail on and on"
They sailed, they sailed. Then spoke
the mate:
This mad sea shows his teeth to-
night
He curls his lip, he lies in wait,
With lifted teeth, as if to bite!
Brave Admiral, say but one good
word:
What shall we do when hope is gomez
The word leapt like a leaping sword:
sail on! sail on! sail on and on"
Then pale and wan, he kept his deck,
And peered through darkness. All,
that night
OF all dark nightsl And then speck-
A light, light! a light! light!
1t grew, star-lit flag unfnrledi
1t grew to be Times burst Of dawn.
He gained world; he gave that world
It's grandest lesson: "Oni Sail on"

National Officers Present.
The surprise of the trial to the
Knights of Columbus themselves and
to all those whose curiosity had
whetted their appetite to learn some
of the secrets of that great order,
was the calling of two of the Supreme
officers as witnesses. The first was
the Supreme Physician, DR.. E. w.
Buckley, of st. Paul, who testified in
effect that Mr.. Lawless had received
initiation in the Fourth Degree under
his direction as Master. Upon cross
examination DR.. Buckley was asked
as to the nature of the oath admin
istered in the Fourth Degree, and
most emphatically denied then, as he
did in answering subsequent ques-
lions of the defendants counsel, that
the order had any oath in any part
of it's ceremonial or degree work He
freely admitted that the order had
pledge or obligation which is admin
istered to candidates. To the great
surprise of all present, however, when
interrogated as to the nature of this
obligation, Dr. Buckley very fully an
swered the question and gave the sub
stance of the obligation as admins
tered to candidates on being initiated
in the Fourth Degree of the Knights
of Columbus.
William J. Mckinley, of New Ha-
ven, Conn, Supreme Secretary of
the Knights of Columbus, also
testified as to the nature of the
obligation, as the official custodian
of the original manuscripts and of all
matters pertaining to the ceremonial
of the society. He placed copy of
the obligation in evidence and it was
made part of the records of the
trial. He emphasized the fact
that the Knights of Columbus was
not an oath-bound society, and that no
member was asked to take more than
an obligation which any gentleman
might take. Both Dr. Buckley and
Mr.. mckinley testified in no uncertain
words that the bogus oath, which was
the subject matter of the prosecution,
was, neither in letter nor in spirit,
part of any of the ceremonial of
the Knights of Columbus in any of
it's degrees.
Defendants Found Guilty.
1t is unnecessary to go into the
recital of the other evidence in this
case. Suffice it to say that the de-
PENDANTS made no attempt to establish
the authenticity of the bogus oath, but
threw themselves on the mercy of
the court and tried to show that there
was no intentional libel on Mr. Law
less. The jury returned verdict of
guilty, which was read by the fore
man, Rev, Thomas Billings, and the
court imposed a Jail sentence of
thirty days without the option of
fine, on each of the defendants, from
which, we understand, they have
taken an appeal.
