of trial by jury; steady maintenance
of the rights and powers of repre-
sentative and parliamentary bodies

ali executives; the defense of every
claim of the Bill of Rights as ex-
pressed IN the American Declaration
Of independence and made operative
in the Constitution of the United
States of merica.-Eva Madden.

ADDRESS TO BE
FOLLOWED BY QUIZ
David Goldstein, Author and Lecturer,
to Speak on Bolshevism and It's
Remedy Monday Night.

An intellectual treat is in store for
the people of Brattleboro when David
Goldstein, author, Knights of Column
bus lecturer and debater. delivers his
address on Bolshevism: What it Is: The
Remedy for it. Everybody is invited
to this gathering in the Auditorium on
Monday night at s clock.
Admission to the lecture is free to
the public. Seats have been reserved
for world war veterans, who are at pres
ent taking decidedly keen interest in
the worlds greatest problem. The lee
ture of Mr.. Goldstein will be of especial
interest to them.
The knights of Columbus announce
that the distinguished lecturer s ad-
dress is not TRADE against the
= Reds, - but rather constructive pre-
sentation of the subject, showing what
this latest manifestation of Socialism
in its brand-new Russian dress really
is
The address will be followed by a
quizzing period, when the speaker will
answer questions relating to any phase
of the subject whether of the Bolshe-
vism in Russia or of that propaganda
in our own country.
Mr. Goldstein is well qualified to
speak on the subject of Socialism, Com
munism, Bolshevism, since he was a
leader in the Socialist movement OF
Massachusetts, some 20 years ago, hav-
ing been the first candidate of that
party for mayor in his home city, Bos-
ton. His resignation from the Social
ist movement, after three years effort
within the party to reform the organi.
zation, caused sensation at the time
and it is considered the prime factor in
the decline of its vote in the old Bay
state, causing the defeat of two mayors
the three Socialist members of the leg
islature, and several aldermen anC
councilmen. 1t also caused the Social
ist vote to be quickly reduced to one
quarter of its strength when he quit
the movement. From that day 20 thi.
| the Socialist vote has been kept at {
| low ebb in Massachusetts,.

In addition to the talk by Ralph E
Barstow at the board of trade lunch
con Tuesday, there will be a four-min-

of the Publicity club of Springfield

many cards which were sent out to
members of the board of trade Thurs
day.
Mr.. Barstow s address on The Swap

reasons for the break go back over a
period of many months and come from
fundamental differences of opinion in
policy.
The disagreement between the Pres

States into the war.
Chairman Porter of the house foreign
affairs committee, commenting today on
Secretary Lansing's resignation, said:
81 am not inclined to accept this new
and novel Interpretation of organic law.
There is nothing in the constitution
which prohibits members of the Presi-
dent 5 cabinet from meeting and dis
cussing any departmental matter. If
we accept the President S construction
of the constitution it would be vio-
lation thereof for two Of the secretaries
to hold conference in the absence of

Mr. Lansing has faithfully served
Mr.. Wilson during both of his terms
as President and in due consideration
for his rights / think the President
should have asked for his resignation
on the ground that they did not agree

summary of the answer of the trustees

petition of the town of Brattleboro and
the seamstresses' society of this town
for the removal of Trustee Richards NJ.
Bradley on the ground that he has mis-

and the extent to which they may en-

rests entirely in the discretion of the
trustees; and it being considered also
that the decree of March 10, 1901, is
ample and sufficient in its provisions for
the guidance OF said trustees in their
performance of their duties, and that it
