AS TO DEBs.

Editor of The Bulletin; Dear Sir:
1t is true that there is some very
bad human nature which needs re.
straining by the law. But we should
also quit manufacturing such human
nature A criminal is so simply as a
result of criminal producing environ.
ment, a product of a diseased social
system. You would not think of rails
ing boy in saloon and expecting
him to become an honorable man.
You would not think of raising a girl
in bawdy house and expect her to
grow up a virtuous woman.
Again, of Debs, let me quote you
what other great men, not socialists,
think of him. James Whitcomb Riley
says
And there's Gene Debs, man at
stands
And Just holds out his two hands;
As warm a heart as ever beat
'TwiXt here and the Judgement
seat"
And Eugene Field, said of this man:
"f Debs were priest the world
would listen to his eloquence; and
that gentle. musical voice, and sweet
smile would soften the hardest heass
And now we will let Deb sspeak for
himself:
Prejudice born of ignorance is the
greatest obstacle to human progress.
Il am well aware that there are
many objections to Socialism, but
these are largely because people az
not understand the true meaning of
the Socialist movement. They have
been told that Socialism proposes to
reduce the workers to level of ser.
vitude; that our institutions and
homes will be invaded. and many
other things not one of them true.
