Debs is dreamer who always keeps

word love is much misused, and yet it

is a word that must be employed in
describing Debs. He actually loves
people-not just some people, but all
people. He cannot help it. There is
not the slightest affectation about it.
He is not trying to get votes He has
not the remotest idea of being elected.
If he were a hodcarrier who never
expected to run for an Office in his life
he would love everybody just the
same. There is no guile in the man.
He does not conceal or reserve him

that they are full of choppy waves,

Still others are transparent, but so

"HERE are seven candidates for

Socialist-Labor man. / don't re-
member his name, and he doesn't
count anyway. 1t is rather strange the
way the six are paired-the two big
fellows together, then the Independ-
ence and Populist nominees and final
~ the Socialist and Prohibitionist. OF
the four minor candidates, or, rather
five, if we count the Socialist-Labor, /
am not at all certain that Debs will
not head the list in the number Of
votes polled Mark Hanna while alive
expressed the fear that the Socialists
would be the big opposition party In
1912, and Grover Cleveland not long
before his death predicted that they
would poll over million votes this
year. From 1900 to 1904 they climbed
up from 10000 to over 100000, and
Debs was the candidate both times. In
1908, with Debs still the candidate, a
like percentage Of increase would put
them well toward 100000, while
merely an equal numerical increase
would give them three-quarters of
a million. Debs in his "red special
across the continent has had enormous
crowds. Looked at from any possible
viewpoint, the movement is beginning
to loom large.
It has been the writer's fortune to
meet Eugene v. Debs twice and to

Would Danish Capitalism.

Debs would do away with the capt.
talist wholly and altogether. Do not
understand me to say that he would
do away with the Individual capitalist
He would not hurt a fly. He would
only create a system in which there
would be no capitalists. In his scheme
only those who toll, either with the
hand or the brain, should have the re-
wards. The product should go to the
producer. In the stock definition he
would have all the tools Of production
and distribution socially owned. Now,
just what does that mean? I don't
know. Do you? have asked several
Socialists, Debs among the rest, and
every one of them gave me a different
answer. They are only agreed that
they want to get rid Of capitalism
and vote for Debs. Every mothers
son Of them will do that, just as every
daughter would If she had chance.
In the Socialist political heaven there
is no sex distinction The women
are. even more enthusiastic than are
the men for social ownership, class
consciousness, economic determinism,
throwing hard words at the present
Sbourghwa" system and all the rest of
the programme, including a vote for
Debs every four years. They cannot
vote now, the dears, but they can
make it mighty warm for those who
do.
1t may be imagined from all the
above that l believe in socialism: but
alas, do not. Rather, should say,
do not know whether I do or not. Ii
sounds all so much like one Of Hans
Christian Andersen's fairy tales. ]
dote on Andersen to this day; but, as
for constructing a system of govern
ment on the basis of his stories, that is
a different proposition. Socialism is
the finest dream that ever made a
bunch Of people cheer themselves
hoarse, pay 10 cents a month and
march to political rallies, but one
might as well vote for Hegel or Plato
or build political platform out OF
Herbert Spencer's data of Ethics as
to think Of erecting a new civilization
to order out of a few distractions
fine phrases, book speculations and red
flags. Civilizations are not built in
that way, but through long, painful
and slow processes. I am not defend.
ing that way of building them, but
only stating the fact. It might be nice
it we could order a new governmental
system every morning for breakfast
Then finally we might hit on the right
one. But unfortunately we can order
one only about once In a Thousand
years, and then 1t may be another
thousand before it arrives. And we
may not like it even when it comes.
But, though I do not believe in SO
cfalism, / do believe in Debs. an
ready to say with Riley:
And there's Gene Debs, a man AT stands
And jest holds out in his two hands
AS warm heart as ever beat

I willingly subscribe to all the good
things ever said about Debsi the man
with one exception do not believe b,

States. And he doesn't either.

Power of His Magnetism.

Debs did not stay long with the Pop
ulists. Soon after the 1896 campaign
he conceived the idea Of joining the
Socialists and not only going to them
himself, but taking his railway union
along. The power of the man Is seen
in the fact that he was able to deliver
the goods, turning over practically an
entire organization as another man
would turn over a deed to farm.

the smile Of a woman and man, a

he warns his visitor up to his work

Of the conversational load. He talks
about socialism, too; believes in it
from his toes to his fingers and up to
the roots of his hair If had not been
such dyed in the wool individualist-
But, there; I am not dealing with my
own opinions. Neither am dealing
with those of Mr. Debs. I am treating
of the man, not his theories.

One cannot talk with him in private

He has a faculty OF making an eco
nomic theory human document. To
do that requires high order Of abil-
ity. Debs takes something that some

own heart. He does not belong to the
statuesque school Of speakers. He
talks with his hands, his body, his
face and his eyebrows. He is as busy
with his arms as Uncle Joe Cannon.
talks SO hard that he sweats like a
field hand. But his words are well
chosen. He makes everybody feel his
mental honesty, and, more important
still, he leads them to think that he
thinks he has the greatest cause In the
world. Debs loves the whole human
race, and his audiences know it-know
1t from the first look Of his kindly face,
know it all the time he is talking and
know it forever afterward. he never
expects to be elected to anything, and
he doesn't care. He is happy in doing
just the work he is doing. Essentially
a propagandist, he is building what he
is sure will make better day for the
human race. What Is an office COM
pared to that?
For all his kindness, gentleness and
sweetness Eugene v. Debs is a dan
gerous man, dangerous to existing in
situations, for he is one who believes
in his cause and is capable Of going to
any lengths for it. He will do this If
he stands for truth and to do it just
the same if he only thinks he stands
for truth, but is mistaken. Go to Jail?
Pah, that is nothing! He would go to
battle or to death or even to universal
misrepresentation and abuse for his
cause. It is his religion, his vocation,
his recreation and his life.

SPECIAL."

come into touch with him at one other
time. The first personal contact with
him was in 1896. He was then Pop
ulist and along with nearly all the
rest Of the party was supporting Bry-
an. 1t was my province to bill him as
a speaker, and I remember the good re-
ports that came from his meetings.
Debs was already a national character
at that time, having carried on his
Pullman strike in 1894 and served a
jail sentence for his palms. He is one
Of the few men on whom a term in
prison left not the slightest hint Of
stain on either his character or repu-
tation. He went through the fire with
out an eyebrow being singed. The
only reference that has ever been
made to Debs' jail sentence is that his
supporters have used it as campaign
issue and have tried to make martyr
Of him. But Debs is not a martyr, at
least not yet. What he may be some
day time and the battle between CAPT
tai and labor alone can determine.
Lincoln Stefens says that he may be
hanged before he is done with the
game and that Debs rather than half
expects that fate himself. The Social
list leaders, own hero is John Brown
But, with all due respect to both Stef-
fens and Debs, there is not the slight
est danger of any such outcome. We
do not hang men for their opinions in
this day. We may ignore them or
laugh at them or even stop them from
speaking on the street corners, but
hanging too coarse and common. It
is fussy and out of date. When Stef-
fens wrote that item he was trying to
turn phrase and sell a magazine arti-

he would, for he had no money with
which to buy and no places with
which to lure 1t was his own mag
netism, intelligence and mastery that
enabled him to lead his people, even
away from the political affiliations of
a lifetime.
Debs did not go direct to the Social
lists, however. Herein was shown his
generalship. He Americanized the
movement, forming body Of his own
that he called the Social Democracy.
There is a Social Democracy in Ger
many, but Debs borrowed little from
it except the name. His own idea was
to graft Karl Marx socialism on to the
stem Of American individualism. Most
people would pronounce this an impos-
sfble task. AS to whether or not Debs
succeeded, even in part, each student
will have to decide for himself It is
somewhat significant that he soon
dropped the name Social Democrat
and Is now plain Socialist. Nor was
| the change one Of name alone. Mr.
Debs in these days is preaching
straight socialism. In the beginning
his flag was red, white and blue. Now
| 1T is only red.
