EUGENE Y. DEBS.
The Socialist Leader Says a Few
Things for PubIication---Will
Speak at Opera House
Tonight.

Eugens V Debs, the great socialist
and labor leader arrived in the city this
morning on No. from the west, where
he has just completed lecturing tour
through Utah. Before touring Utah
Mr.. Debs spoke at various points in
British Columbia. Washington, Idaho,
and Montana. Graud Junction is the
initial point of thirty days lecturing
.aur OF the state Of Colorado, after
which the speaker will make stops in
Wyoming and South Dakota, finishing
his. itinerary by delivering the labor day
address in Davenport, Iowa.
When seen by a Sentinel representa-
tive at the Grand hotel this morning,
Mr.. Debs had just returned from the
depot where he had accompanied his ad.
vance man, Rev. W. NJ Wise, who was
bound for poiuts on the narrow gauge to
arrange for future lectures.
There was one very decided impress.
sion on which Mr.. Debs made upon the
newspaper man, and that WAS that he
can talk. He knows just what to say
and how to say it, to make it mean the
most. A portion OF his conversation is
as follows:
~ have been on the road just eight
weeks today and have before me six
weeks yet until my lecturing tour is
conluded. Every place where l have
spoken there has been great enthusiasm,
which indicates that the people are

aroused as never before to the great i'm
portanoe OF the labor question, which
broadly stated. is the question Of all
humanity. The economic basis Of 30.
ciety is undergoing great change
which involves all social institutions. In
fact, we are in the midst OF a social and
industrial revolution, the scope OF which
is IS yet little understood by the grent
mass of people.
"rhe Capitalization Of productive cap
ital and the train OF consequent econom-
ic changes, are looked upon by many as
simply the designs OF few to monopo-
lize the means OF life whereas this pro-
cess is simply the result Of machinery
applied to industry and the industrial
revolution which inevitably followed.
Capitalists combine, not 80 much
from choice as from necessity. They are
driven to that extreme and the combines
they are organizing to escape tho disas-
ters OF competition are simply necessary
links in the chain of industrial and 30
cial progress which will be followed in
due couse Of time by socialist republic
with cooperative industry, democratic
ally administered, as it's basis"
Many more things were said by Mr..
Debs, but it is likely that they will be
repeated by him at the big meeting to
be held at the Park opera house tonight
aud there v ill also be much more said
Of a nature interesting not only to So
cialists and the laboring classes but to
everyone of different political views as
we'll.
Eugene V. Debs has g remarka BILE per
sonality. He resembles very closely the
pictures published Of him in the papers,
and, while he is more than 6 feet in
height has a graceful carriage. A most
pleasant voice adds much to his general
make up, and his expressive face is al
most as interesting as his topic for con-
versation, which naturally is always the
labor question.
| 1t would amply repay every citizen,
whether man or woman, to go to the op-
era house this evening and listen to Mr..
! Debs' address.
