DEBs ON SOCIALISM.
Explains Social Democracy to tn,
Laboring Men of Atlanta.

~@~S~S@AAES AA-(AA IA &4SAc~ASeA-
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 1s.-Eugene v. Debs,
the socialist and labor leader, addressed
a large assemblage yesterday afternoon
in the Federation of Trades hall, on
Peachtree street.
Debs came south and to this city for
the purpose of organizing the Social De-
mocracy. In his talk he outlined the
meaning and intention of socialism, and
arraigned the present social system in
bitter and scathing terms.
Continuing, he said:
81 wish I had the power to express all
I feel this question. wish that I
could transport this audience to the Bow
cry of New York, to Mott street and to
other thoroughfares leading to the great
cesspool of humanity, where thousands
and thousands of little children are hud-
died together on the streets.
1.-The capitalists do not care for the con-
dition of these people. The capitalists
are the benehciaries of these poor victims
Of the social system. But even the CAPT
talists are afraid to some extent. They
fear lest their children fall into this hell
of hells. They are striving and piling up
millions and millions to guard against
such an emergency. They are insuring
their lives for fabulous sums in order
that their descendants may be protected.
''And, therefore, this question should be
thought Of and discussed by all men of
the present day, for none of US, no matter
how rich we may be, know at what day
or hour our riches will be swept away
and we and our families viii be left in
poverty.
The present social system is hurting
many physically as well as other wise.
Do you know that nearly $4,000 infants
die annually in this country, and almost
all of these die for want of proper food
and fresh air? How many we'll formed
men and women do you see on the streets
of a great city? Not many. Go out on
the streets of Atlanta.
Now, Atlanta is not what might be
called a great city. but it is city, and
the conditions I speak of are found here.
Go out on the streets and look for speci-
mems of manhood. First you see the cap
itaIist, stopped with worry and too much
brain work; then the laborer, OverWorked
in every fiber. Here is the fellow that is
not worked enough. One is overworked
and the other underworI1ed. Here goes
a clerk hurrying to his work. He is
nervous and afraid he will be late. Once
in awhile you will find a fine looking man,
but only on rare occasions.
THE day of socialism is coming. Tt is
coming as surely as the sun of God will
rise tomorrow morning. 1t is coming
despite the fact that ministers who favor
1t are being socially ostracised and despite
the war that is being waged on 1t by a
capitalistic press. The moneyed men are
paving the way for socialism. We work
ing people have but to stand aside and
prepare ourselves to take hold when the
proper time arrives.
"One way to do this is to read books
bearing on the subject. Books that will
make you think. To begin with, know
of no better volume than Merry Eng
land, which sells for six cents. 1t is a
book that will do you a world of good,
and YOU will never miss the sum-"

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR

(F7rom the New York Press.)
Every woman may have her price,
but most men are bargains.
When a girl says, "Oh, dear, have
eaten so much,' she always puts her
hand about a foot too high UP.
No matter how nice and sweet she is,
when girl sits in a mans lap, if she
weighs over ninety pounds, he gets
more pain than he does pleasure out of
it.
A girl never really cares much for a
man till she takes to running to the
window to watch him when he goes.
If a man turned over a new leaf every
time his wife wanted him to there
wouldn't be anything left of him but
the covers.
1t will probably always be a mystery
whether a woman would rather wear
something that nobody is wearing or
something that everybody is wearing.

JOURNALISTS AND REPORTERS

From the Detroit Free Press.
A year or two ago Harper's Weekly
sent out its staff correspondent, Julian
Ralph, to visit the great American uni
versities and prepare a series Of arti-
cles upon them. The University Of
Michigan was one of the colleges on
Mr.. Ralph's list. He arrived at Ann
.Arbor on a cold winter night, tired and
alone, and was Immediately driven to
the city's first hotel. After a bite to
eat the famous correspondent bought
a local evening paper and settled him
self in a big leather chair near the rad
iator to kill the hours until bedtime.
About o'clock a dapper little chap
wearing silk hat and patent leather
shoes wandered into the Office, and,
moving nonchaIantly over to the clerks
desk, passed his eye down the page Of
the register. He noted Mr.. Ralph's
signature, and after short whispered
conversation with the clerk, during
which the famous writer was pointed
out, he strolled over to his chair. and,
presenting a card between two gloyed
fingers, said: Jaw, you are Mr.. Jul
ian Ralph, I believe. You will pardon
me for disturbing you, but I, too, am
a journalist, and thought you might af-
ford me an Interview
He got no further. MIR. Ralph
glanced up.
I'm sorry he said, ''I'm very tired
and very busy, and really I haven't
anything to say. I'm glad to have met
you
CrestfaIlen. the young journalist pas
sed out Of the Office, and Mr.. Ralph re
sumed his reading of the local paper.
In about an hour a young fellow
rushed into the office and over to the
clerks desk. He wasn't particularly
well dressed. His hands were grirny
with the black of lead pencils, and a
shave would have done his appearance
no harm He, too. glanced down the
page of the register. Noticing Mr..
Ralph's signature, he said to the clerk:
Say, Jim, where's Ralph"
'Over there by the radiator replied
the clerk softly.
without further questioning the
young man darted from the desk.
Say" said he, addressing the man
by the radiator, ARE you Julian Ralph?
You are? That's good. I want you
to give me an interview on Japan I'm
a newspaper reporter
"A what?'' exclaimed Ralph, almost
jumping from his chair.
"A newspaper reporter, I said; didn't
you hear me?" remarked the young
man.
I'm good and glad to know you"
cried Ralph, putting out his hand.
You're just the fellow I've wanted to
see ever since I've been in town.

And the young man with the grimy
hands was given an interview.
