K lights Of Columbus
Issue Second Appeal

To the knights of Columbus and
Catholics generally: We are pleased
10 note the fidelity with which you
have observed our request to keep
away from the vicinity OF Roy Cranes
lecture platform, knowing as we did
that he intended to go beyond the
limits of your patience, and thereby
get the advertising needed to gain
cheap notoriety, on which he and all
such irresponsible disturbers thrive
We caution YOU still further now, for
the crisis will come tonight when his
greatest efforts in vituperation will
likely be put forth to induce the dupes
to the livery barn, where. without the
consent of the long cared occupants,
he is TO institute, at so much per, of
course, his Guardians of Liberty.
(Oh. liberty what crimes are still
being committed in thy name.) The
slanders he intends teeming off To
them are old to us and all readers of
mediaeval history. likely extracts
from those books which Uncle Sam
has excluded from the nails and
which decent Christians would not al
low minors to peruse.
The Protestants OF the town are
thoroughly disgusted with his methods
and following. for it is well known
that two weeks ago on the street cor
ners he said things almost as revolt
ing concerning ministers of the gospel
generally, when addressing his Social.
list followers, as he now says of the
Catholic priests. So we may well
leave him to the common sense of the
citizenship of this community.
However, lest any one should think
that our silence is inability to meet
this disturber we have, following the
example of our brethren of Shawnee
and Ill Reno, made arrangements for
reward OF five hundred dollars if he
can offer satisfactory proof to three
independent citizens of this town OF
the statements he has repeated here
and elsewhere concerning the morals
and patriotic attitude of Catholics, es-
pecialiy Of the sisterhoods and priest
hood. He failed TO try for these re-
wards in El Reno and in Shawnee,
though they are still open for him,
eleven hundred dollars in all. enough
to prosecute his threatened bluffing
suit against the First National bank
and the Sugg theater.
Too bad, that Notwithstanding our
church is open every day in the week
/ for public worship. and three times
on each sunday, people who never

will flock around one of these Weary
Willies" of the pass the hat" kind
to learn what the Catholic church is,
and that, too, in the most ridiculous
manner by those who do not believe
in Christ and even derlde all manner
of revealed religion. And sometimes
these have the sympathy Of honest
but deceived Protestants, but thank
God 80 per cent of our non-Catholic
brethren are not in the slightest SYM
pathy with this current move, and we
may we'll trust to their good judgment

Again advising you to keep off the
streets tonight when the crisis comes

into the livery barn or some other
place-at 50 much per. Leave this

OF the citizenship of Chickasha.
