60u1ad secret societies.
(9) The challengers of Mr.. Cats then
say
We deny that the Knights of Columbus, any
where in this broad land, have or secrete arms,
either in churches halls or schools, ETC.
!, We deny that the Knights of Columbus take
the so-called fourth degree oath, or any oath
whatsoever.
If the Knights have no arms, they must
have sold their rifles quite recently They
displayed thousands of guns and swords
during their parades in Baltimore, Wash
lngton and Philadelphia.
AS to the oath, they themselves have been
publishing what they claim is the oath and
they assured mankind that the oath began
with the words
4 swear to support the Constitution Of
the United States"
They asked mankind to believe that the
Roman church organized this vast secret
society for the purpose of upholding Con-
st5tuts0n achich IS the enact opposite OF the
Popes canon Laao!
They ask us to believe that their foreign
master, to achono they send "Prostrate- at
y0ur- feet" tezegronas, loves our law so much
better than he loves his own, that he en-
courages an American society which takes an
oath against his!
In my pamphlet on the subject, I have
given my reason for believing that the
Knights of Columbus (4th degree) are
gang of traitors, dangerous to our liberties,
because saC04n to the P0pe's 1daO, and saU01D
to persecute Professionals.
The spirit of the fourth degree oath of
the X of G. is exactly the same as the spirit
of the oath which Cardinal James Gibbons
took when he became Jesuit, bishop, and
a Cardinal
The spirit of the fourth degree oath is ex-
actly the same as that of the oath the priests
take; and 1t IS IN enact accord aoith the IN
tolerant and naurderous dogma and practise
of the Roman Catholic Church.
The fourth degree knights who deliber-
ately assassinated William Black, in his own
room, did precisely what Romanist doc
trines, Romanist precepts, and Romanist ex-
amples encouraged them to do.
Millions of William Blacks have been
slaughtered, in obedience to the laws Off
Roman Catholicism; and many hundreds of
thousands were devilishly tortured before
they were killed.
Mr.. Cats ought to go to Saint Augustine,
and photograph the instruments of torture
q0hich priests formerly used there on "here-
Hcs"
He ought to demand of his X of G. chal-
lengers qOhether the fourth degree oath, inn
puted to them, WOULD CAUSE THEM
TO DO Any WORK MORE HELLISH
THAN THE CATHOLIC PRIESTS
USED TO DO Nv SAINT AUGUSTINE.
Those old instruments of torture were en-
ployed IN obedience to papal zaac.
Similar instruments of torture can be
found all over Mexico and South America.
They were found in the Philippines when
our troops took possession; and the priests
had been using them on the natives, just as
they had been using the native bride, the

Passes Away With Indians
March Toward Progress.
Relics Of Red Mans Former History
Disappear as He Adopts the Arehi-
lecture Of the White Man-Ex-
amples OF Patience.

Chickasha, Okla.-The grass houses
in which the Wichita Indians lived
we're, until a few years ago. one OF
the most common sights OF the res
ervation in Caddo county. IL miles
west of this city. but they are being
rapidly displaced by the white man 8
house. At the. present time there are
only four left in the entire reserva-
ton.
These grass houses represent In
dian ingenuity. patience and skill per-
haps more than any other relic re-
naming of their wild life on the prai-
RE. They were built by the squaws
and took months of preparation before
they were ready for occupancy. but
when finished offered the Indian war
rior a secure retreat against all kinds
of weather.
The suuaws commenced their work
early in spring by selecting num-
Der of tall young trees that would
serve as poles. Usually elm or pc
can trees were chosen. They were
stripped of bark. sharpened at one
end and laid in the sun to season
during the summer and fall. The
bark was torn into strips and put to
dry.
When this was done the sQuaws'
work was finished for time. When
fall came they would go along the
swamps and rivers where the grass
grows tall. strong and wiry. and
would collect bundle after bundle of
this grass just as it began to dry.
After the grass was all collected
it was made into bundles. all Of the
same size. and all packed as solid as
wood, so as to resist the rains and
SHOWS of winter. Then the squaws
were ready to begin the actual build
ing of the home.
The first step was for the Indian
brave to decide Just where he wished
his new home to stand. When this
was decided on, the squaws drew q
large ring just the size that the new
house would be when completed, and
in this ring they set the poles. three
feet apart.
The poles were all brought together
at the top in the center of the house
and securely dashed together with
strips of bark. Outside of this frame
was covered with a network of bark
strips to hold the poles secure in their
places and to form a foundation upon
which to fasten the grass.
| Then the tedious work began. The
bundles of grass were fastened to
these strips so close together that II
was impossible for any rain to pass
through and the Indian might feel
himself safe from any storm.
The last stage of the house was
the hanging Of the door. 1t was made
in the same way as the rest of the
house, and was in a separate piece
hung from the top of a hole cut for
a doorway.
A hole was also cut in the south
side of the house to carry on the
smoke from the fireplace. which con
sisted of a deep hole dug in the ex
act center of the house. When this
was all done the house was com
pleted.
With plenty of help from sister
squaws the mistress of the house was
able to finish her home within three
weeks after the work of putting II
together actually began
