Joy. EUGENE v DEBS
Ever since Debs has maintained his
active interest in the fate OF the lad,
and through his inSuence the labor
unions of the country have taken up
the matter.
The comfort Of the men Is well
looked after. The Jail is almost new
and its sanitation is nearly perfect. 1t
I is kept scrupulously clean, and. as al
ready noted, the sheriff allows the
prisoners every possible liberty consist
emit with the sentence of the court.
Not one violation of the rules have the
men been guilty Of so far. The insti-
sutton is about fifty-one miles from
Chicago and the visitors continue to be
; very numerous.
The American Railway union does
not seem to have lost any numerical
strength as result of the imprison-
ment of its leading officers a corps of
very competent organizers are main
tanned and recruits are reported plenti-
full. A plan of secret work in this con-
nection has been formed, and as vet
the utmost silence has been main
tanned as to the methods employed to
make the union q more effective aid to
the men than it has proved heretofore.
Debs continually asserts that the day
of the strike has past He qualities
this, however, by saying that a strike
fund of some sort should always be
maintained. as fear of lockout has
often q most salutary effect upon en-
ployers.
Dehs and HIS associates have very def
mite plans for the future. They will
all be out by winter, and propose to
continue IN the labor movement. As
viii be remembered. there is move
ment in the ranks of the populists to
nominate Debs for the presidency next
year, but Debs himself says nothing on.

wnen his time Is not taken up With
their duties. He continues to edit the
organ of the American Railway union
and to write articles for various radi-
cal and socialistic publications. For
editorial he wrote in the jail and which
was published in his paper last week:
an familiar with the often-quoted maxim:
mo man e'er felt the halter drawn
With good opinion OF the law"
II has been said OF every martyr from the
first time that q thumb-screw was ever applied
By tho inQuisitfon II was said Of every victim
broken upon the wheels, dis1ointsd upon the
rack or burned At tho stake. u has been .
handy excuse for tyrants In all ages. and is as
current now as when the beasts Of bigotry first
Tapped the innocent blood OF their victims I
know with what gusto corporations and their
ermfned sycophants and all their brood Of de-
generate creatures regard the imprisonment OF
the officers Of the American Railway union.
and yet 1t II not law. nor the administration OF
law. that called forth our protest. but the ABB
rogation OF all law and the substitution OF
iron-clad despotism. Innocent men, unstained
by crime. We appealed TO the courts and to the
constitution for protection. for guaranteed
rights. We appealed as American citizens to
the supreme court OF the nation. As well
might We have appealed to the many nan-eat-
ing tigers In an African iungla Our destiny
was Imprisonment and it tells the story OF
the final triumph Of Russian methods OF gov.
eminent IN the United States OF America
There is one other thing which Debs
has devoted his time to while In jail and
that is project to get condemned
murderer saved from the gallows. He
took up the case as soon as he got fairly
settled in his CELL It is that Of Clyde
Mattox, sentenced at Wichita by the
United States authorities to be hanged
in October next. Mrs. Sadie Hatch,
mother Of the young man, issued plea
to the mothers of the United States, beg
ging them to intercede for her son with
the president. This youth is not yet
twenty-one. He is the only son of Mrs.
Hatch, and she Is widow. When
Debs heard of her public appeal he at
once wrote an article about it which he
caused to be printed IN his paper
Among other things he said:
do not doubt the response the mothers OF
America will give to this appeal would IS
soon doubt the sboundihg love of Christ, who
listened to the cry Of the distressed No. no;
the mothers OF America will join with the sor-
rowing. heart-brolxen mother in Topeka in pc
the president OF the United States to
stay the exocutIoner's hand. He is Q father.
nor do I doubt that his wife, who has been
blessed with children, will add her prayer for
mercy.
At any rate, it Is the last resort II the
press responds in giving the appeal Of the dis |
mother wide pablicity and petitions |
are circulated ju.ths homes Of America. - |

The Latin word from which pagan
is derived originally meant a fountain
or spring; then the village which
sprang up around it, and finally the
residents in the village. As Christian
ity took strong root at first in the
large centers of population and the
worship of the pagan deities fingered
longest in the country and among the
country villages, it came to be under
stood that pagan or villager was, in
virtue OF his residence, worshiper of
the old gods, and thus the term &C.
quired its present significance.

pairs to the Jail corridor They are
allowed every possible liberty as they
have proved most docile and tracta bic
prisoners. The corridor Is called the
study. Here the men read until twelve
fifteen. Their intellectual activity is
along the line of economics, sociology
and history. The library at the COM
mand Of these men consists of some
two hundred volumes of very good
works, including Shakespeare, Hugo.
Henry George, Carlyle, Garland, Kidd S
Social Evolution" Ely's Political
Economy" Fabian essays and others Of
q like nature. Debs conducts the class
regularly, and lectures on stated sub
jects. They usually relate to the labor
question. Debs has very effective
way of presenting his ideas and his pu-
pills not infrequently include employees
of the Jail and now and then the sheriff
himself
At a quarter past twelve the men
stop this work. Exercise in the jail
yard is now in order. They run, walk
and use the duInb-bclls and chest
weights Debs is the best athlete of
them all, and has made some very
astonishing records with the athletic
paraphernalia at his comr.and in the
Jail At one o'clock sharp dinner Is
served. This meal consists, as rule,
of a roast. some vegetables. pastry or
pudding and coffee. The men are not
starved by any means in Woodstock.
After dinner the reading and studying
are resumed and kept up until five
o'clock, after which Col. Hogan begins
the drilling of his squad. Supper is
always ready by half-past six, and that
frural meal consists of cold meat, milk
and bread.
The intellectual life Of Woodstock
Jail is further varied by literary ex-
ercises. These begin at eight o'clock
in the morning and last for two hours
A debate usually begins the feast OF
reason. Debs takes some current labor
question and it is argued from every
point of view. One of the debates was
On this theme: Resolved, That the
state has stronger claim on the child
than its parents" Rogers took the
affirmative and Kelliher the negative.
The arguments were listened to for an
hour and the result was draw.
The conricts have established code
of rules for themselves, which every

delinquency during drills, Col. Hogan
imposes military punishment in the
period of study. Debs also imposes pen
alties upon such of his pupils as fail to
please him. Nay. the discipline is SO
strict that Debs has now and then
locked up one of the colony in his cell
if some infract:on of the rules be par
ticularly fragrant
So far the health of the men has
been excellent. They maintain the
very best spirits and take their inn
