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.
