Lands Closes
Chicago Saloon

On January 10 Federal Judge Ian
dis closed the saloon formerly oper-
ated by Jack Galligan at 81 West
Harrison street, Chicago. This action
followed presentation of information
to the court to the effect that the
temporary injunction granted against
this place had been violated. The sa-
loon closed was one of the hundred
and twenty or more against which
temporary injunctions were recently
granted under the provisions of the
Volstead Act. Galligan's saloon was
the first to be closed in this district
by the injunction process.
! Upon information that liquor was
still being sold on the premises re-
gardless of the courts restraining or
der, Galligan and his two bartenders
were arrested and brought before
Judge Lands. The defendants at
torney argued that neither of the bar
tenders could be held for contempt
of court and that Galligan had sold
the saloon before the injunction nam
ing his place Of business was issued.
Pending further investigation and
consideration of the technical points
involved, final disposition of the case
was postponed. 1t is likely that the
Gal1igan case will be precedent for
similar action against other violators
of injunction orders.
On December 10 over fifty violators
of the Prohibition law were arraigned
before Judge Lands. Most of them
pleaded not guilty and their cases
were set for trial early in January.

years a special supreme agent of the

SM|TH-TOWNER BILL
OBNOXIOUS ANSWERS REPORTED
TO BE DRAFTED FOR
PRESENT.

The sponsors of the sO-called Smith
TOwner Educational bill, which was
the subject of hearings before the
Senate Committee on Education dur
ing the last session of Congress, vir-
tually admit that the measure is dead
for the present, at least. The ne
cessity for economy has raised bar
to further consideration of the bill.
The Republican majority is decidedly
against pressing a plan which calls
for an appropriation of $10O,0O0,0O0,
when other more important projects
are being abandoned because Of the
expense involved.
The educational bill will, therefore,
probably remain Indefinitely before
the Senate Committee, majority of
which is opposed to reporting it to the
Senate at this time. The Americana
zation sections of the measure were
taken and reported separately and
have already been passed by the Sen
ate. They are now before the House
of Repres entatives.

PERIODICAL RETURN OF FALSE
CHARGES AGAINST x. OF c.
WA IN ING TO THOSE Who
SPREAD THIS DEFAMATION.

The temperance in certain Sec
tons OF the country of the bogus
fourth degree oath of the Knights of
Columbus has led James A. Flaherty
OF Philadelphia, Supreme Knight of
the K. of c., to issue a warning to
any who take part in circulating this
alleged oath, and to request the press
of the United States and Canada to
aid in enlightening the public regard
ing the falsity Of this "Oath.'
The Knights of Columbus." Mr..
Flaherty stated, Invite information
from anybody regarding circulators
of the alleged X of c.. fourth degree
oath. This bogus oath, revolving in
character, has been in circulation for
many years. 1t is a blasphemous and
evilly designed document, calculated
to stir up religious hatred and to in
flame bigotry. Strangely enough, its
appearance comedies with general
election years.
'The Knights of Columbus is not an
oath-bOund organization, and, as far
as secrecy is concerned, we have more
than once submitted the internal
workings of the order, even to the
details of degree work, for eXamina-
tiOn by Catholics, even ministers
of Protestant denominations, who
found us to be simply patriotic or

Notre Dame bestows the Laetare
Medal upon Catholic layman who
"by distinguished service to religion,

himself in "the aristOcracy of merit"
The practice is continuation of the
ancient and solemn custom of the
POpes who in the old days blessed on
Laetare Sunday each year a golden
rose and occasionally conferred it
upon illustriOus persons as a mark
OF esteem and paternal affection. The
institution of the custom, according
to the most authoritative opinion
dates back to the time of Char
lemagne. 1T is surely fitting" re-
