Dr. W. H. Mullen’s Patriotic Address.
Every foreign-born citizen of Holt
county, and every native citizen for
that matter, should have heard the
patriotic address of Dr. William H.
Mullen of Bloomfield at the K. C.
opera house Wednesday night. Those
who were unable to avail themselves
of that privilege should not fail to do
so if the opportunity again offers.
The duty of the foreign-born citizen
to the country of his adoption and the
solemn obligation involved in the oath'
' of allegiance were discussed and ex
plained in so graphic a manner that
none who listened could possibly fail
to understand. Treason, perjury,
hypoericy and ingratitude are the four
legal ana moral crimes of which one
violating in any manner the obligations
of the oath are guilty, declared the
doctor .speaking not as a native-born
advising his adopted brothers but as
himself foreign-born. After the war,
he said, there will be no more^hyphe
nates, but all Americans, first, last
and all the time. His eloquent appeal
to all, regardess of birth or nationality,
aroused his audience to enthusiastic
response and he carried them with
him spell-bound unto the end. It was
a 100 per cent Amercan audience, as
the doctor demonstrated with three
rising votes taken at the opening of
the meeting, when he asked all who
believed in the just cause of the war
and who wanted to see the kaiser
whipped to stand.
Dr. Mullen is a former resident of
O’Neill, having been educated and
growing to manhood here and for that
reason his remarks, as a former fel
low townsman were particularly in
teresting to an O’Neill audience. His
account of the success attained by
former O’Neill residents who have
sought and won success and fame in
all walks of life elsewhere in the world
were decidedly complimenting and ■
evoked much applause. Dr. Mullen,
who has laid aside the duties of his
private business to help at his own ex- |
pense push the cause of freedom, is i
speaking under the auspices of the
state council of defense and already
has delivered more than two hundred
addresses. His address last night
showed that the Council of Defense
has been wise in calling him to its aid
in spreading the doctrine of patriot
ism. Dr. Mullen was introduced by T. .
V. Golden, who presided as chairman
of the meeting and at the conclusion ,
Mr. Golden was instructed by unani

After Red Cross Slackers.
Women Red Cross slackers may be
punished by the state and county
Councils of Defense for inattention to
duty. Many women, who last fall
registered for Red Cross work, are be
coming slackers now that the norvelty
has worn off, declared the officers of
the local Red Cross chapter. The de
crease in attendance at the three
meetings of the Red Cross each week
is marked, many seeming to think any
trival matter a sufficient excuse to
stay away say the steady workers.
The Red Cross meets Mondays, Tues
days and Wednesdays in the audi
torium at the high school and a regis
trant only is asked to attend one
meeting weekly. It isn’t any more
jfermissable for one who has regi
stered to quit than it would be for an
enlisted soldier to attempt to quit the
army when the fighting season opens.
Consequently the Council of Defense
is to be asked to interview the
slackers.
Successful Red Cross Benefit.
The Royal theatre was packed to
capacity from 6:30 p. m. until late
Tuesday night, the occasion being the
three renditions of a program for the
benefit of the Red Cross, participated
in by a number of O’Neill’s juvenile
histronic talent, each a headliner and a
star. Tiny Miss Helen Reardon isn’t
afraid to sing in public when it is for
the benefit of the Red Cross and
favored the audience with two
selections evoking tumultous applause.
Like receptions were accorded Master
John Robert Gaither and Master
Donald Stannard, who told in recita
tions their opinions of the kaiser.
They were followed by little Miss
Dorothy Grover in a Highland fling,
and a reading by Master Robert Ar
buthnot and Miss Nancy Dickson.
Then in song Misses Ruth Scott and
Irma Dimmitt and Masters Norman
Reed and Donald Crocker depicted the
wounded soldier with the Red Cross
nurse by his side. “We Will Make the
Kaiser Wiser,” by Masters Eli Ab
douch, James Stillwell, Everett Smith,
John Conden and Walter Baker called
for an encore and the knitting song by
Miss Elsie Longstaff provoked more
applause. Mrs. Helen Babcock, elo
cutionist and reader of national
reputation, favored the audience with
a reading, “The Kid Has Gone to the
Colors,” which makes all those having
the privilege of hearing her desirous
of again being afforded the oppor
tunity. Interspersed with the pro
gram was the movie, “This Is The
Life,” one of the best romantic come
dies of the day. Mrs. Charles Scott
was the pianoist of the evening.
