Fights Principles of Socialism =
Peter Collins main object in his |
life and his lectures is the fighting
of the principles of socialism that
are fast gaining ground over the en-
tire civilized world. He speaks under
the auspices of the Knights of Col
umbus, Catholic secret order, an
order that stands in the same relation
to the Catholic church that the Ma
sons do in reference to the Protestant
churches. The Catholic church as an
organization is an implacable enemy
to Socialism. 1t carries on its cam
paign against socialism by and thru
the Order of the Knights of Columbus
in America and thru other secret
Catholic orders in Europe. Many
wears ago Peter Collins was a social
ist. During that time he done some
reading of socialist literaure, and
made some study of the theories OF
Karl Marx. He became quite a noted
speaker. Then he renounced socialism
and became bitter opponent of the
! theory and later entered the employ
of the Knights of Columbus being the
principle lecturer of the organization
against what that order is pleased to
, call "Subversive Influences in Ameri-
ca" When it comes to socialism or
l communism, or the related theories
"that the people should own the
means of production and distribution
l and administer them for the interest
| of all of the people" the Knights OF
Columbus are as intolerant toward the
= adherants of these theories as the
| 80 IL Inv lo71 orn
u tolerant to the adherants of the Cath
+ olic faith. 1t is obvious that thi'
l. organization is the avowed enemy o.

DONALD MOORE
VICTIM OF AUTO
Thrown Into Middle of Street and
Leg Broken By Unknown Driver
Who Rushes From Scene Without
Stopping to Help Victim.

Last Monday evening as Donald
Moore, 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. J. Moore of this city, was re-
turning to his home from a visit with
a friend in the south part of town,
he was struck by a large auto at the
end of main street near. the Grand
View Hotel, at about 600 in the even
ing.
AS the injured boy lay helpless in
the middle of the road calling for
help, he was noticed by Alfred Kurtz
who rushed to his assistance and also
by Otto Donaldson who had driven by
in his Buick Mr. Donaldson backed
his car up and with the aid of Mr..
Kurtz rushed the boy to the hospital
Donald'S parents were then notified
of the accident and DIR. Robb was
called who Immediately made an ex-
animation of the young lads body
and found the main bone in the left
leg broken and splintered. The leg
was set at once and Donald was able
to return to his home the following
day, where he will be confined to his
bed for several weeks. At this writ
ing he is getting along nicely although
suffering considerable pain from thC
injured member.
In giving an account of the acci
dent the lad said that he was coming
across the street to get onto the side
walk and was looking up Main stree
when suddenly he felt himself hurle'
in the air and started crying for he'll
when he tride to pick himself up AM
found himself unable to do so. .
Indignation over the city is quit
intense over the fact that the motorist
whoever it was, did not have tn
courage to help his victim to
: pIace where he could be treated, al
ter having committed the deed.

Of Governor Al Smith are confident

nomination on an early ballor.

Just at present Governor Smith

will be started in earnest, There
are some other things that have
to be done at a national convention
besides nominating a candidate for
President and Vice-President. and
these will be taken care OF as
speedily as possible so as to clear
the decks for the Smith drive.
The Smith people who already
have arrived on the scene are hoping
but not predicting that the New

the second or third ballot will SEE
him nominated.

TRUST AIMED 1T
CONTROL Of
THOUGHT

The dominant motive of the
power in its propaganda is to con.
troll the economic concepts Of the
entire nation.
This is clearly set forth in a
new memorandum brought to light
by the Federal Trade Commission
in which it is predicted by the
power publicists themselves that
in q few years they would create
for the first time in the long
history Of mankind q definite. sound
school Of economic thought. not
only among economists. but among
all the people"
This topheavy aim. embracing a
grip on schools. newspapers. pull
pits and political parties. is set
forth In all seriousness. The
propagandists wanted to sweep out
opposition to their plans and prin.
ciples in real Mussolini style.
The secret memorandum was
written by j. b. Sheridan. of st.
Louis director of propaganda ac-
tiyities in the Mississippi Valley
States, who is on the stand before
the Federal Trade Commission to-
day.
Sheridan's success in censoring
school text books was so great that
he was elated with the prospect of
still wider spheres of propaganda
activities and looked forward to
the time when literally no economic
literature would be placed before
the people without the approval of
the power trust.
Aims Set Forth
Sheridan said in his memorandum:
Please consider these premises
made now:
u. The State committees on pub.
lib utility information, in four
years, have done much to change
and direct the economic thought
and economic practice of the Amer
lean people,
20. In the coming five years the
work of the State committees in
public utility information should
result in a very great change in
the economic education of the
American people; in fact. create a
sound school of economic thought.
not only among economists, but
among all the people.
Along with this forecast came
another, one from Hugh M. Blain,
director of the Louisiana Mississippi
pIOpdSdiud COIuHIIIleS, 10 the eLLetC
that future generations of Ameri.
cans will be staunch friends of the
public utilities
To Get Results
Another statement from Bernard
J. Mullaney, Illinois propaganda
director and aide of Samuel insult,
is interesting:
I'm the long run. isn't it better
and surer to lay groundwork
with the people back home who
have the votes, so that proposals
of this character are not popular
with them, rather than to depend
upon stopping such proposals when
they get up to the legislature or
commissions"
