KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INITIATE CLASS OF 49 Last Sunday afternoon and evening the Charles Carroll Council of the Knights of Columbus initiated into the mysteries of the order forty-nine members, a large number of whom wSre residents of this city. The first two degrees were exemplified by the cflficers of the local council, Hugh J. Coyne, Grand Knight; W. B. Harty, Deputy Grand Knight and W. J. Ham mond, Chancellor. The third degree was in charge of the District Deputy, Edward H. Whelan of this city, and he was assisted by William McCor mick n/'d a degree team from Omaha. Me .be- ! from all the surrounding towns and from Omaha, Stanton, Nor folk and Sioux City, were present to attend the initiation and all unite in saying that it was one of the most suc cessful initiations they had ever seen and the local officers and the degree team were highly complimented for the success of the initiation. The initatory program was con cluded at 9:30 and the members then repaired to the K. C. hall where the ladies of St. Patrick’s parish had pre pared a banquet. The ladies of O’Neill he spread many fine banquets in times past, in fact they are noted for their culinary achievements, but this was one of the finest spreads ever prepared in this city and the hungry Knights done ample justice to the repast. A U „ ,1 V.--1 Hon. John A. Harmon, who presided as toastmaster in his usual inimitable manner, presented the first speaker of the evening, Hon. J. A. Donohoe, who had for his subject “The Knights of Columbus.” Mr. Donohoe is no stranger to O’Neill audiences and the bunqueters were looking for an ora torical treat, and they were not dis appointed. The speaker was at his best and delivered one of the finest addresses ever heard in this city, whether at a banquet or on a rostrum. He told of the foundation of the order, thirty-six years ago and of its re markable growth since that time. He also spoke of the loyalty of the Catholics to the government and said that at the present time, while the Catholic population of this countrv was only one-sixth that forty pei > -it of the men in the army at the present time were members of the Catholic church. He said that the Star Spangled Banner had no more loyal defenders than the Knights oi Columbus and the members of tha1 order. Mr. Donohoe was loudly ap plauded during his address and at its conclusion was the recipient of the congratulations of many of the audience for his able address. Hugh J. Boyle was next on the pro gram and he took for his subject: “Ha: the War Come to America?” Mr Bople is one of the finest orators it this section of the state and his ad dress on this occasion was furthei proof of his ability as a word painter Like the preceeding speaker loyalty ti country was the predominant featuri of his address and he emphasized thi fact that every person who callei American home should be loyal am help his country in every way possible to win the war. He urged all wh< were able to purchase thrift stamps liberty bonds and to subscribe to th various activities that were assistinj our soldiers at home and abroad. Arthur F. Mullen, of Omaha, wa the next speaker on the program. Mi Mullen had for his subject: “K. of C War Work.” Mr. Mullen was at hi best on this occasion and delivered on of the finest addresses we have eve heard him make. He had just rc turned from a three week trip t Washington and was chuck full of ir formation on the war and war activ ties. He told of the splendid wor that the Knights of Columbus wer doing at the various army cantor ments and said that the K. of C. an the Y. M. C. A. were working together and were a God send to the soldier boys. He also spoke of the great number of Catholic that were in the army and accounted for it by the fact that thousands of them had enlisted as soon as their country called for men. He said we were facing a long, hard fight and called upon every man to do his full duty, so that victory would perch upon our banner and the world made safe for democracy. Ed. Waters, of Omaha, was then called on. Mr. Waters is one of Omaha’s leading young lawyers and he complimented the citizens of O’Neill highly; he said that he always heard that this city was full of orators and after listening to the addresses of the evening he was convinced that it was a fact. William McCormick was then called on for a few remarks. Mr. McCor mick has appeared at K. C. banquets in this city several times and said that he hoped he would have an op portunity to appear again, as he al ways enjoyed his visits to this city, which he said was the best little city in the state.
