famous author and Knights of Column
Dus lecturer, will deliver an address on

auspices OF the st. Paul Council. Ad-

reserved for world war veterans who
are at present taking a decidedly keen
interest in the worlds greatest prob
lem. The lecture of Mr.. Goldstein
will be of special interest to them.
The Knights of Columbus announce
that the distinguished lecturers adj
dress is not a TRADE against the
Reds" but rather a constructive pre-
sentation of the subject showing what
this latest manifestation of Socialism
in it's brand-new Russian dress really
is. Mr.. Goldstein's appeal is to lovers
of God and Country, to those who
stand for civil law and ordered Lib
erty.
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
Bolshevism in Russia or of that prop
uganda in our own country.
Mr.. Goldsteih is well qualified to
speak on the subject Of Socialism
Communism, Bolshevism, since he was
leader in the Socialist movement OF
Massachusetts some twenty years ago
having been the first candidate of that
party for mayor in his home city
Boston. His resignation from the So
cialist movement, after three years
effort within the party to reform the
organization, caused a sensation at the
time, and it is considered the prime
factor in the decline of it's vote in
| the Old Bay State, causing the defeat
of two Mayors, the three Socialist
members of the Legislature, and sew
eral aldermen and councilmen. II
also caused the Socialist vote to be
quickly reduced to one-quarter of its
strength when he quit the movement
From that day to this the Socialist
vote has been kept at low ebb in
Massachusetts.
David Goldstein, who is a stauncf
defender of conservative trades union
ism, has struck some hard blows
against Socialism upon the floor OF
labor conventions. When a delegate
