ARE THE NEGROES TO BLAME?

When from the shackles of slavery,
The Negroes in idleness went,
Not knowing the worth of freedom,
Nor the value of a copper cent
Wandering like many cattle,
Upon a western plain,
When led into temptation.
Really, were they to blame?
From place to place they wandered,
Knowing neither the false or true,
Believing only in the white man,
Doing as they were told to do.
Soon through those darkened hours,
They began to see the light,
And became an ambitious people,
To fight for truth and right.
Now they are drawing the color line
On all that's of Negro blood
Ills because they are rushing upon
them,
With the force of a mighty flood,
They are nearing the highest summit
Of this great ladder of fame,
With only forty-tWo years Of climbing
For this they are to blame.
-E. M. Wilson.

.DEBS MAKES REPLY To
PRES|DENTRO0SEVE[T
"Forgetful or False" Reply to
Presidents Letter on
Labor Leaders,

GIRARD, Kas., May 9.-Eugene V.
Debs has given out the following
statement in reply to President Roose-
velt's letter to Honor Jaxon:
after many days President Roose-
welt concluded to revise his public an
nounced determination to treat the
communications of organized labor
with silent contempt. He changed his
mind only when he saw the represen-
tatives of the working class preparing
to move on the White House. In the
voluble and vague explanation just is
sued the president is guilty of a most
extraordinary lapse of memory or a
deliberate falsehood. In defense Of his
unenviable position he now claims
that he never said anything concerning
the guilt Of Meyer and Haywood. I
answer by quoting the exact words he
used in his speech on the occasion Of
! the laying of the corner stone of the
office building on the house of rep
resentatives, April IA, 1906, as fol-
lows:
The wealthy man who exults be-
| cause there is a failure of justice in
the effort to bring some trust magnate
to an account for his misdeeds, is as
bad as and no worse than the so-called
labor leader who DANGEROUSLY strives
| to excite a foul class feeling on behalf
of some other labor leader who is i'm
! plicated in murder.
"Moyer and Haywood had been ar
! rested and I had made what was call
+! ed a sensational appeal in their behalf
! but short time before this speech
was delivered. Roosevet's words were
clearly meant for Meyer, Haywood and
myself. They could by no possibility
| apply to any one else.
| Il challenge President Roosevelt to
name any persons except Meyer Hay
wood and myself to whom his words
could by any stretch of possibility ap-
ply. If he will not name them he must
stand branded from his own mouth
with calumny and mendacity
| "The explanation of President
Roosevelt is the first decisive victory
for organized labor in the KIDNAPPING
battle of the, class war in the United
| States
