DECISIONS ARE LAW.
BUT MIGHTY POOR LAW AND
WORSE JUSTICE.
Whose Fault Was 1t That Mt the Same
Time the A. r. q. Went Out on n
Strike Some Other Follows Had n
Grievance Of Their Own to Settle?

In speaking of the sentence Of Debs,
Attorney barrow said:
"The decision is bad law, but the
sentence is remarkably lenient."
Unjust, but lenient.
A remarkable combination of right
and wrong.
Robbing a man of his liberty, then
consoling him with the thought that
he might have been treated much
worse.
After all, it is remarkable leniency"
on the part of a plutocratic judge,
when he had a chance at such a power
erful leader of labor rs Debs, not to
have sentenced him to prison for life.
Might just as well have sentenced
him twenty years as six months for
nothing.
This thing of decisions of judges
taking the place of law is worse than
"bad law" Bad law is bad enough,
but bad decisions without any law at
all to support them are worse than
anarchy.
These things breed revolution.
Since the Judge reasoned back to
Debs as the cause of the riots, why not
reason little further back to Grover
Cleveland and George NJ Pullman.
They were causes prior to Debs, and
and should have suffered the penalty.
Or perhaps the thirty years republi-
can rule is responsible, since it built
up Pullman and the railway corpora
tons and forced the laborers to either
work at starvation wages, or be shot
down for a change"
Either the republican party or the
change ought to be sentenced to
prison.
Or perhaps the judge who issued the
injunction, interfering with the legal
rights of Mr.. Debs ought to be i'm
prisoned.
Or perhaps the Railway Managers
association that decided to support
Pullman before the railway strike was
ordered, was the original cause of the
trouble.
And perhaps the BOBBY soldiers who
blew up a cannon while trundling il
about the streets, killing innocent
women and children, were the cause
of some rioting.
Or perhaps the fool people of the
United States who submit TO such out
RACES all ought to be imprisoned.
Or perhaps the producers of the
country are guilty of overproduction
forcing the capitalists to increase theil
facilities for gobbling to such an ex
tent that they produce riots, Or per
haps it was Columbus who discovered
America thus opened the field for the
creation Of this free American spirit
that opposes plutocracy. Or perhap!
itwas mistake that the world wa.
created at all, since the fact that il
exists has made room for anarchists
Or perhaps the A. R. U. ough'
to have waited until the coming of the
millennium before u struck, so thai
nobody else would have had grievance
to settle at the same time.
They should have waited until al
the other unemployed people Of Chi
cago starved to death, so that they
could not have taken advantage of the
disturbance to wreak their vengeance
upon the greedy corporations that rol
them of chance to earn living.

armor plates was heavily cut down

recent history. Now comes parallel
to it. Carnegie, Phipps & Co., are fur.

out at random, was subjected to ballistie
test and cracked like a sheet of glass

is that the rest of the armor fur
nished for the Oregon is equally
faulty. But the armor is not to be re-
jected, nor is there to be any further
test, though the members of Carnegie's
firm protest that the other plates are
all right. After a personal conference
with Mr.. Carnegie Secretary Herbert
announces that ''the cracking was
caused by the use of projectile much
superior to the ordinary service shot,
and that he will accept all the armor
