Senator T. J. Walsh Guest
of Miami K. of C. Council
Anti-Catholic Prejudice De
creased by Contact With
Catholics He Tells Knights
By D. A. MacDODGALL.
Miami, Fla.—Miami Knights of
Columbus were signally honored
Tuesday evening, March 19, when
Senator Thos. J. Walsh of Montana
visited the local council. Senator

days in Miami, very graciously ac
cepted the invitation of the lecturer
to visit the council and address a
few words to the membership. The
senator was introduced by District
Deputy Donald A. MacDougall, who
also called upon John Walsh, brother
of the senator, for a few re |arks v
Senator Walsh discussed the ques
tion of religious prejudice through
out the country from several as
pects, remarking that it is a note
worthy fact that the intolerance is
always most common where Catho
lics are few in number. He express
ed the opinion that as Florida grew
in population and a larger percent
age of Catholics became residents
of the state, bigotry against them
would diminish in like proportion.
Following his address Senator
Walsh greeted each member with a
handshake, and was then escorted
to his hotel by the lecturer.
Masonic Paper Commends 1
K. of C. For “Oath” Action i
Los Angeles Publication En- \
dorses Prosecution of Schu- ^
ler For Libel of Order
i
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Los Angeles.—Commending the
Knights of Columbus for deferring •
action in their prosecution of the j
Rev. Bob Schuler for criminal libel |
until after the excitement of the last
election had died down, Hiram’s
Weekly, a Masonic publication, has .
published a complete resume of the
case against persons circulating the
false “oath” of the Knights.
In the article the true obligation i
of the Knights of Columbus is print- ^
ed in full and the results of an in- *
vestigation made by prominent local
Masons several years ago are de
scribed. In conclusion the article
says: %
“Many see in the move by the j
Knights of Columbus officials an at- 1
tempt at once and for all to dis- j
pose of the ‘oath’ which has bobbed J
up on various occasions and to 'throw
a scare’ into those who would use it
for propaganda purposes. In wait
ing until after the presidential elec- ^
tions the Catholics demonstrated
praiseworthy restraint in the inter
est of harmony, according to many
local publications.
“If the complaints had been filed
during the elections, no benefit
would have accrued to the Smith l
cause, but bitterness and hatred
most likely would have resulted. Hold
ing the complaint until post-election i
comment had flickered to a mini- .
mum, is taken as an indication that ’
Catholics desire an amicable and
quiet ’show down’ on the subject to
prevent future issuance of the ’oath’
as an authentic document.” j
