Richard Olney's letter to the faculty
of Brown University was made public
Wednesday. He says: .@
The true objection, however, to the
course pursued towards DR.. Andrews by
the corporation of Brown University is
its implied inculcatlons of the doctrine
that an institution of learning should,
above all things, get rich, and therefore,
should square It's teachings and limit the
utterances Of Its faculty by the interests
and sentiments of those who, for the
time being, are the rich men of the COM
munity.
Eugene Debs dominated the great la.
Dor convention at st. Louis Wednesday,
and scattered throughout his address
are someof the most remarkable utteran-
ces of the decade. He said in part:
"Shall we appeal to the supreme courts
again? No. We appeal to this conven-
ton and to the country for an uprising
of all the common people IN every walk
of life to beat back the courts an re-en
throne the rights of the American peo-
pie. Labor is the cheapest commodity
on Gods earth and yet there are those
who would have it at lower price.

emancipate itself, labor itself must do it.
"The time has not quite come to in
cite the populace, but I serve notice on
the plutocratic element of this country
that we are on the eve, of such rising
as the world has never seen.

trades unionist and socialist. When
ever the trades unions of this country
decide to do battle with our common
enemy, they can count upon us to come
to the front and take our places side by
side with them and fight with them.
"When the people are ready, and that
day is not far off, there will be a spon-
taneous uprising, the supreme court will
be abolished, congress dispersed and the
sacred rights of American citizens and
American freedom will be enthroned. I
plead guilty to the charge of being radi-
cal. I only wish you would allow me
to be more radical still. Support us,
gentlemen of the convention, and prom
Use you we will support the attempt to
abolish government by injunctions and
the Judges who issue them.
"On bearing arms, hope in the march
of common intelli gence we will reach
point where we will be able to settle
these questions without appealing to the
sword or bullet.

is necessary to preserve liberty and our

"Plutocracy cannot buy me; it may
send me to Jail; may ostracise or may
hang me; but, IN the language Of the
revolutionary heroes, I do not propose
to part company with my se!f-respect,
independence and manhood. We no
longer have a republic. There is not a
vestige of it left, The Judiciary of this
country has placed paddock on my
lips, forbidden me to walk on public
highways and destroyed all of my rights.

the country to Come to the front, take
this cause to heart and these questions
will be solved. I will be free and SO will
you.

All they lack is direction and leadership"
A New York journalist said at a
press club dinner: s'There is no such
thing in America as an Independent
press, except in the country towns. There
