KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS OCLI.
CATION is GENUINE.
Writer Says the Great Secret of the
knights of Columbus is That Like
the Masonic Order, 1t Has No
Secret Whatever.
Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 1S, 1921

Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 1s, 1921
Editor Daily Herald:
1t will be opportune if you will
please publish the genuine obligation
taken by all Fourth Degree Knights
of Columbus. Note the fact that
we take no oath. The Knights of
Columbus is not an oath bound or
ganization. The members merely
accept obligations. The Knights Of
Columbus is not even a Catholic or
ganization, but an organization of
Catholic men. The distinction is
vital. Catholic church organizations
are societies such as the Sacred
Heart Society, The st. Vincent De
Paul Society, The Holy Name Soc
iety, The Children of Mary Society,
and the Catholic Welfare Council.
The Knights of Columbus organiza-
ton is fraternal and insurance So
ciety. The great secret of the K. of
c., order is that like the Masonic or
der, it has no secret whatever. Here
then, is the obligation, (not oath)
accepted by Fourth Degree Mem
bers of the Knights of Columbus:
81 swear to support the Constitu-
ton of the United States. pledge
myself fully on my duties as citi-
zen and to conscientiously perform
such duties entirely in the interest
of my country and regardless Of all
personal consequences. pledge
myself to do all in my power to pres
erve the integrity and purity of the
ballot and to promote reverence and
respect for law and order. I promise
to practice my religion openly and
consistently, and to so conduct my
self in public affairs to reflect moth
ing but credit upon our Holy church
to the end that our country prosper
to the great honor and glory of
God"
Faithfully Yours,
REV. NELIUS DOWNING.

WHAT Do DAMERON-PIERSON,
EFT. AIS. GIVE MISSISSIPPI?

The following editorial from the
Newton County Miss Record OF
last weeks issue, calls attention to
a common violation of law in near
ly every county in the state, law
which has been duly tested and up
held by the Supreme Court. The at
tention of the District Attorney
ought to be the means of remedy
in many instances and in the absence
of more drastic measures where nee
essary. The article follows:
There is a law in Mississippi to
protect Mississippi interests just as
other states have similar laws to
protect the interests therein, which
provides that no printing for county
and state officials shall be sent out
of the state, and none shall be sent
out of the county, where the county
has a printing Office equipped to do
the work right. In the proceedings
of the board of supervisors of New
ton county for July, The Record
notes an allowance made the Damer-
on-Pearson Co., for stationery for
1881; and in the proceedings OF
the board this month, there Is pub
lished an allowance for Foote-Davls
Co., of Atlanta, Ga, for $1S9.44 for
record books. In the same proceed
ings is another account of Cameron
Pierson Co., which was continued.
The law makes it violation for the
officers to buy this stuff out of the
state, and the attention of the presl-
dent of the board of supervisors was
called to this some time ago, and he
said the board did not wish to vlo-
late the law, but the fact remains
that they are still violating it, and
they may regret it. There is no need
to send out Of the county for sta
tionery and out of the state for rec
ord books, as state concerns can sup
ply them just as cheaply, and it IS
up to the county attorney and ols-
trict attorney to see that the law is
complied with.

FERRY SERVICE CONNECTING
WITH ROAD TO NEW ORLEANS.
Travelling Between New Orleans and
Coast Reduced by Ferry Service
From Chef Menteur to PEARL
ington to Bay St. Louis.

With the installing of ferry ser
vice across Chef Menteur out from
New Orleans and from Indian Vii
lage to Pearlington, Bay st. Louis
and the balance of this beautiful
Coast country dotted with its sever
al cities, are brought closer, and q
dream long INDUCED in has at last
been realized.
This brings the subject of a
straight road from New Orleans to
Bay ST. Louis more to the fore, and
possibly to an earlier realization.
Parties who have made the trip
tell The Echo that the present ar
rangement is admirable. The trip
is delightful and interesting, and
many of the summer residents re-
turning to New Orleans rather than
ship their car by rail or water are
using this route, the auto carrying
members of the family and much OF
the baggage paraphernalia.
The coast may not have fully real
lied it but New Orleans is one of the
greatest assets it has In connection
with the visitation of winter tourists.
Many tourists are drawn to the
coast ~ reason of its proximity to
New 0I.tans, and whole RATS of
tourists who come to New Orleans
visit the coast before returning to
their homes.
The ferry service from Chef
Mentuer to Pearlington is a great
thing and the coast rejoices over 1t.
Following is an announcement ap-
pearing in the Times-Picayune:
Ferry service between Chef Men
teur and Pennington, Miss, inaugu-
arted Monday by the East Poncthar-
train Ferry, Inc, puts Gulf Coast
points within AZ miles of New Or
leans or two hours by automobile.
The ferry service is daily, it is an
nounced, leaving Chef Menteur at
8 a. M, returning from Pennington
at p. m.
Bay st. Louis is 20 miles from
Pearlington and is connected by a
good road. The distance from New
Orleans to Chef Menteur is % miles.
The Pearlington service was in
augurated at the suggestion of the
Louisiana Motor League, and it is ex-
pected that, with the additional fac
ility, more New Orleans motorists
will be attracted to the gulf coast.

GOVERNMENT ACCEPTS TEN
MILLION DOLLAR HOSPITAL AS
GIFT OF EDWARD HINES, MIL
LIoNAIRE CAPITALIST, CHICAGO

A hospital which is said to be the
finest of its kind in America was
turned over recently for the relief
of disabled war veterans, and pat
tents are now being transferred
there from the government institu-
tions. 1t is the Speedway Hospital
in Chicago.
It's size may be inferred from the
statement that there are six miles Of
corridors The cost was $1o,0OO,OOo
and was built with private funds, be-
ing intended by Edward Hines, a
wealthy lumberman, as memorial
for his son, Edward Hines, Jr., who
fell in France. Not the least remark
able fact about the hospital is that
Mr.. Hines only succeeded in getting
the government to accept his gift
after a struggle of nearly three
years and an expenditure of $780,
900 attorneys fees.
The ways of congress are past
finding out. Lobbying is usually
designed to get something from the
government, yet, here is a case
where long persistent lobbying was
required to persuade the govern
ment to accept something which
would save it money and sorely need
ed. It is repetition of the exper-
ience that ]. P. Morgan had when
he offered his London residence to
the government for an embassy.
The belated acceptance in the
present case, while doubtless pleas
ing to the donor, is rendered ungrac-
ious by the condition which accounts
for the hospitals name. The con-
dition is that the institution must
not bear the name of the son who
gave his life for his country, and
whose inheritance now goes to help
his living comrades.

Gulfport School Levy, u Mills
Bay St. Louis, A Mills.

Gulfport, which has one of the
best schooling systems in Mississippi
has had a school levy of 5h mills
for the past two years. 1t is esti-
mated that in comparison with other
cities in Mississippi the tax levy is
one of the lowest. This information
was secured by those interested in
school work for the purpose of en-
Tightening the public from the nee
essity of an additional one mill to
the school tax levy with which to
remedy the present crowded condlt-
ions. The Bay st. Louis School levy
is mills.

NOTES OF THE WEEK FROM
CENTRAL SCHOOL.
Thursday, Sept. 22nd.

InurSday, ,4OepL. IzHQ.
Central School Literary Society
will holds its meeting Friday, Sep
tember 23rd. The last year officers
will have charge of this meeting.
The new officers will be elected, af-
ter which an interesting program of
thirty minutes will be given. A re-
port of the election and doings OF
the Society will be chronicled for
next weeks Echo.
The boys are showing lively in
terest in organizing the basket ball
team for the coming season. Judg-
ing from the spirit manifested and
the enthusiasm already displayed in
athletics, great things are expected.
The smaller boys will have class
foot ball teams, but there are not
enough big boys in the school to
have a varsity team to play the
other schools.
The matter of athletics in the Gen.
tral school will be fostered as far as
practicable, and along this line it is
proposed to give much attention al
though not at the expense of the
class room.
The enrolment of the school is
gradually being augmented, and
every endeavor is exercised in an ef-
fort to develop the school to the
highst degree of efficiency.
While nothing has been given out
officially, it is understood the main
holidays occurring during the schol-
astic term will be appropriately OBJ
served by the pupils in the rendition
of suitable programs, thus bringing
to the young minds what the days
celebrated stand for, and the en-
tertainment will be means of
bringing the patrons and public in
geeral in closer touch to the school.
The public is invited to visit the
different schools at any time. In
fact, special invitation is extended
to one and all. We are striving to
get the utmost results and our eff
forts will bear inspection at all
times.
Prof. McCluer has inauguarted a
system of visiting the other schools
of the city as was carried out In
former wears and with much success.
While he is is principal of the Gen.
tral school as superintendent he
proposes to keep in touch with the
other city schools, white and color
ed, and the other schools well
come his visits. 1t accelerates In
terest and inspires greater efforts.
Prof. McCluer has taken the
King cottage, Carroll avenue, where
he was Joined by his wife last Fri
day.

Heavy Export of Lumber at Gulf
Ports Predicted.

PASCAGOULA, Sept. 22.-lndl-
cations point to prosperous faii
and winter business for the Gulf
coast region. Many of the interior
saw mills have resumed operations
to meet the growing demand for ex-
port and domestic lumber. 1t is es-
timated that several million feet OF
boards, deals, scantlings will be ship
ped from Gulf ports to South and
Central America with heavy ship
ments of timber and cross ties TO
New York and Boston. The sawmilis
of Greene county are In full opera
ton. Farmers of the Bayou Casotte
district are planting large acreage
in onions. The adaptability Of the
soil in this locality for growing veg
etables has inspired the truckers TO
produce bumper crops OF early
spring onions.

LAWS DISMAL.
FAILURES, ASSERTS EDWARDS.
New Jersey Governor Likely to
Make Senate Race on Wet
Platform.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. ~.
Governor Edward /. Edwards, of
New Jersey, condemned prohibition
as flat failure and an instrumen-
tality of vice and corruption in an
interview today at the Ambassador,
ing Democrats on the governatorial
and senatorial situation. In view of
Governor Edwards emphatic denun-
citation of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, astute political observers be-
lieve that he intends to make his
campaign for United States Senate
the seat of Senator Frelinghuysen
on a platform for the repeal of the
prohibition law.
Governor Edwards said: "Prohib-
ition is a flat failure. 1t prohibits
only one class-those who have not
the price. The rich can get all they
want. Farmers are still able to brew
their own. All they have to do is to
prepare juices and the Lord fer
ments them.
GAS I see it, one of the principal
reasons for the failure of prohibi-
tion is those that are entrusted with
the enforcement of the law are the
most persistent violators. I dare say
that hardly more than a dozen men
in congress have empty hip pockets
and empty cellars. Prohibition Is
undermining the character of the
people. 1t is making the United
States nation of liars and GRIMM
ais, for every one who buys and
drinks liquor in the sight of the law
is criminal. / have seen more
drunkenness in the last two years
than ever before. / am not opposed
to prohibition because of personal
deprivation, but because it is an in
fringment of personal liberty. / do
not drink liquor nor other intoxicat-
ing beverages nor does any member
of my family.
~ do not wish to be understood
as favoring the saloon. l am glad
that institution has been abolished,
for it was the greatest curse of the
nation. 1t was the saloon that the
treating habit developed and result
ed in drunkenness. Where wines
and beer are served at the table,
there is scarcely any intoxication at
any time. Where cards are enjoyed
in the family circle there is hardly
any gambling. Prohibit alcoholic
beverages and card playing In the
home and members will go to excess
when outside. No nation ever be-
came great on "thou shall not"
diet There can be no character
without temptation. Our Saviour
preached this. No credit is due q
young man or young woman who re-
mains good because he or she is shut
up in glass cases."

Mrs. R. W. Taylor was hostess
to large number of guests at the
beautiful beach home on Thursday
afternoon, when she entertained at
cards in compliment to her mother
in-law, Mrs. Thomas Taylor, of Bal
timore, Md, who is here on visit
of an indefinite period. The affair
was most charming one in every
appointment, and the prizes award
ed the successful ones who pltted
their skill against opponents were
handsome and worthy of the beauti-
full affair. This is one of the more
delightful and one of the larger at
tended affairs of the season.
