DANCE BY KNIGHTS BRILLIANT
FUNCTION.

All those who were fortunate enough
bred and some odd members of the
Santa Maria party at the lOng-to-be-re-
membered banquet and dance given at
the Grunewald Cave on Columbus Day.
From the time we left home until the
return Sunday morning. there was
enough doing to fill a large-sized vol
ume and two pages more. Not hitch
occurred in the program, every posi-
bic contingency being provided for,
thanks to the efficient management of
Brothers Jos. P. Sicily and Chas o.
Roome, Jr.
Saturday October II, 1919. will go
down in the records of Santa Maria
Council as our real red letter day. The
banquet room of the Cave was filled
with Santa Marians and their wives
and sweethearts., who enjoyed to- the
fullest extent the menu, the singing
and speaking. We had with us our
Grand knight, Peter MuntZ, who said
he was not a regular" POSTMASTER,
and then surely proved that he was
better than a regular could be.
Our Deputy Grand knight, James l..
Higgins. spoke on the aims of the or
der, and referred to the small begin
ming of the Council, with forty mem
| bers, five years ago, and the wonderful
increase in members today, with four
| hundred on the rolls, and the home
paid for.
Grand knight Peter Muntz spoke on
the future of the Council and the splen
did work accomplished by our retiring
Grand Knight George J. Forrest. Then
came a surprise for Brother Forrest
when Brother Muntz, in few appro
pirate remarks presented him, on be
half of the Council, with an emblema
tic watch charm. Our George got or
his feet to make the speech of his ca
reer, but words failed him and he said
Someone put one over-thanks." AT
ter recovering from the shock George
expressed his appreciation, thanking
the members for this expression of theil
affection for him, etc
The forepart of the evening wa!
given over to dancing and was fol
lowed by an impromptu cabaret i'm
pressario. Brother Gaiennie takins
charge of the bill of fare. The regu
lar numbers on the program we're fur
nished by Miss Emelda Nichiaus. &C
companied by Miss F. Grimes; Mis-:
Grace Lenox, accompanied by Cave
orchestra; Brother A. Gaiennie, Mr.. E
Vallette.
The time passed all too rapidly, tap!
at 1890 breaking up the gathering.
The dinner dance given by the SAINT;
Maria Council 1924 was one of tn,
most brilliant and delightful functions
of the season. The Cave was resplen
dant with artistic light effects.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE

OF all objections to the league of
nations perhaps the most Illogical is
the argument that it will interfere
with our Monroe doctrine
The critics object that Latin-Am-
erican dispute of any sort will be
brought under the cOgnizance of the
new league and that the United
States will be required to submit to
arbitration. or to inquiry by the ex-
ecutive council of the league, any dis
pute that may arise between US and
any other American state. What
then. becomes Of the Monroe dOs-
trine?" they ask
A sensible and obvious answer is
given i'll the New Republic.
Those who raise such questions
have forgotten that the Monroe doc
trine is not an instrument Of aggrea
sion, guaranteeing that we may have
our will with the weaker states OF
the American continents. but a policy

members Of the league, unless we in
terpose our veto, and they will be as
sured their independence and integ
rity under the league. We shall have
in effect. what we have tried IN vain
to secure: the Incorporation of the
principles Of the Monroe doctrine in
the law Of nations
This seems to be the precise situa
ton The league of nations plan
really represents the fuIfllment or

hostility Of most Of the European
powers. Now all these powers are

WHERE THE MAN is LORD AND
MASTER"

1t is said that in the darkest cor
ner" of the Dark Continent" the
farming is done wholly by the wo
men.
After a long hot day in the sun,
after the days hard toll is ended,
they gather up heavy bundles of tree
branches and hurry home to cook the
evening meal for their lord and mas
ter, and if there is anything left
after the old gluttOn has finished.
the women eat it, or if not they must
go hungry or cook more.
1t is pleasant, we are told, living in
Africa for the men.
0. yes, the men in Africa are OPP
posed to giving the women the bal
lot. and it will he found that the low
er down we get into the scale OF
civilization the less the lord and
master" is willing to confer any OF
the privileges of equality and fair
dealing on the women
Up and up. through the long toll Of
the centuries, they have been the
burden bearers but as civilization
more and more spreads its benign
rays over the earth, the more ana
more privileges are accorded them,
and the more and more this is done
the greater and greater becomes our
civilization.
For a long period of time women
were made to keep silence IN the
churches" and this badge Of her in
feriOrity has just recently been re-
moved but with its removal the
stronger have grown the churches.
1t is hard to break down old idols
and superstitions and rid ourselves
of moss-grown traditions They cling
to us as tightly as the old Man Of
the Sea" It is equally hard to in
troduce innovations, however bene-
ficient and benevolent they may be.
Gradually women are taking their
rightful places alongside Of man and
is becoming a "helpmeet" in the
sense as was proclaimed at the time
of her creation.
