K. c. Board Of Directors
MEETING HELD IN CHIcAGo-MuL-
LlGAN HEADS AcTIVlTY-coL.
CALLAHAN RESIGNS,

The supreme board of directors of
the Knights of Columbus, at meeting
in Chicago Sunday, May 26, decided
that it would take twenty-five million
dollars for the. war work under the
auspices of the order until July i.
1919. This includes the money spent
so far. The order has seven millions
on hand, with three million more sub
scribed and coming in the near future.
This leaves fifteen millions to raise
in future campaigns. Campaigns must
be conducted regularly everywhere by
the K. of C. as by the other great war
activities. Many cities are arranging
war chests, raising in one campaign
all the money needed from the munich
pality for all the war causes annually
The directors of the K. of c.. deem
that proper division of this money
would be fifty per cent to the Red
Cross, twenty-five per cent to the Y.
M. c. A., twelve and one-half per cent
to the K. of G.. and twelve and one
half per cent to other activities.
w. ]. Mulligan of New Haven was
named chairman of the K. of G.. war
activities committee, Col. Callahan
having resigned. Lawrence o. Murray,
a, member of the order living in Wash
ington, comptroller of currency under
President Roosevelt, is to be sent to
France to assist Overseas Director
Walter ~ Herman.
1t was decided to erect buildings at
Camps Mead and Pike for colored

SOME POINTS ON SOCIALISM

speakers are very shreWd in not CIV
ing their entire program to the public.
They are at present very craftily at
tempting to claim credit for Socialism
because during the war the govern
ment has regulated and taken over
many departments of business which,
at other times, are left to the indi-
commodities and the control of pro-
duction, consumption and distribution.
Socialists, for instance, consider as q
vindication of Socialism the fact that
the national government as war
measure has seized and is today con-
trolling the great railroad systems of
the country. The, performance by the
government, however, of these func-
tions, is justified by men who do not
believe in Socialism, and Socialists
are entitled to no special credit.
Socialism an Enemy to Christianity.
There is, however, another and
darker side to Socialism, which by
Socialists is carefully kept in the back
ground True Socialism rejects Chris.
tianity and all that Christianity stands
for It believes that the state has the
right to take away from parents the
rearing and control of their children
and it believes that the marriage tie
! is a mere civil contract which can be

contracting party. | call your atten

THE LINDBERGH RESOLUTION

Z
Catholic press, seek to substitute for
our democratic system of government
the monarchical or papal system.
Fourth. The Roman Catholic laity
lin the United States of America are
taught, influenced, and commanded by
those in authority to yield implicit
obedience to the teaching of the Popes
of Rome and to blindly obey their or
| ders and DEGREES, even though said
| orders and DEGREES conflict with the
Constitution of the United States of
| America
| Fifth. The Roman Catholic Organ
ization of America is perniciously ac-
tive in politics, and, although having
| but few votes as compared with the
whole body of electors, it manages,
| by threats, intimidations, blackmail
and by coercion Of the press, to Sc
cure an undue proportion of the cleo
tive, and especially the appointive
offices throughout the country, and
these offices. when filled with Roman
Catholics, are used to further the plan
of making America dominantly Cath
olic.
Sixth. In carrying out the con-
spiracy to bring the United States of
America under the complete domina-
tion of the Pope of. Rome the Roman
Catholic hierarchy, aided by the Ro-
man Catholic politicians and the
Roman Catholic press, has inspired
portion of the Roman Catholic laity to
resort to threats, to intimidation, to
boycott, to assault, and to riot.
Seventh. The Roman Catholic hier-
archy is now and has been for more
than a year last past actively engaged
within the territory of the United
States of America in fomenting and
| inciting revolution in the Republic of
| Mexico and attempting to bring about
state of war between the Republic
! of Mexico and the United States; and
, Whereas the said claims on the part
of the so-called Free Press Defense
League and similar organizations
have been and are now being broad
casted over the country, and both sides
to the controversy are causing to be
S6HIt W. meInD6FS Oh congress great
numbers of allegations and assertions
and CONGRATULATIONS and denialS
upon the said various claims and
others, which controversy Injuries the
| interests of both Catholics and Protes-
tants and
Whereas the said controversy 70.
ments troubles and interferes with the
Eunprejudiced action of millions of cleo
| tors in the United States, and thereby
| interferes with the natural, consistent,
and impartial administration Of the
government in the interest of all the
people; and
Whereas a true and impartial in
vestigation and report thereon by a
properly constituted public committee
would take these controversies out OF
| politics and stop the attempts to i'm
properly influence the acts of public
| officials
| Now, therefore be it
Resolved, ETC., That a Joint COM
mittee of the Senate and House be
appointed to make inquiry into the
representations hereinbefore referred
Ito.
