EUGENE Y. DEBS, THE PATRON SAINT
OF THE SOCIALISTS

march toward the far heights of
achievement
The problems of the jungle were
not the sort that could be handled
with kid gloves, and the jungle enc
mics of mankind were not the sort
that yield to moral suasion or to the
gently soothing effects of a pink
tea" lecture on ethics, by an old
maid.
He of the mighty arm, the daunt-
less heart and the iron will, emerged
triumphant from the jungle, and fill
ed the earth with race like him
self. The weak and effeminate never
left the jungle at all. They lacked
the force necessary to fight their way
out. They died there and their race
persisted with them, as the weak
must ever perish while the strong
survived, as the strong must ever
survive.
This iron law of the survival of
the fittest, is the thing that Debs is
attempting to combat, and he might
as we'll spend his time and energy
blowing soap bubbles against the
base of Pixies Peak, in an attempt
to move it from it's foundations.
The trouble with Debs is, that his
heart is bigger than his head. James
Whitcomb Riley, some years ago,
graphically described him in this bit
of verse:
can there's Gene Debs, man at
stands
An jest holds out in his two hans
AS warm a heart as ever beat
Betwixt here an the Judgement
seat
That is Debs, and that is why mil
lions Of people love and respect him
even though many of them disagree
with his theories.
[ have on more than one occasion
seen him give his last cent to a rag
ged, dirty tramp and grip him by
the hand and call him brother"
Probably he has done this thousands
of times, and he simply cannot I'M
derstand man who would not do it,
There is not the slightest trace of
affectation or hypocrisy of any sort
about Debs. He is sincerity per
sonifed; so genuine that he instinct
lively believes everybody else to be
as genuine as he is.
The common people hear him
gladly, for they know he is honest
and that he loves them, and they
will travel incredible distances to
hear him speak, and freely spend
their last penny for the paper that
publishes what he writes.
That is why Wayland wanted Debs
nominated for the Presidency With
Debs on the editorial staff of the Ap-
peal to Reason, and on the head of
the party ticket, the Appeal would
be regarded as his mouthpiece, and
this meant that there would be fat
pickings for Wayland. 1t was for
this reason alone that Wayland pack
ed the last three national conven-
lions of the party for the purpose of
forcing through the nomination of
Debs.
But why, it will be asked, does not
Wayland (since he has the power)
have some other man nominated in
stead of running Debs all the time?
The question is easily answered, and
the answer is this: Debs has been
active in the labor movement of the
United States for nearly half a CEN
fury. He began at the age of nine
teen, and for twenty-five years or
more has been easily the most ma
jestic and commanding figure in the
labor world. He has never betrayed

III Presidential chair, if they had
the opportunity, and fewer
still, probably, are those who would
confess to any impeachment in the
way of their filling that exalted posi-
ton with credit to themselves and
with benefit to the Nation.
When, therefore, man not only
confesses to such an impeachment,
but declares that he does not want to
be President. and that if he were
elected he would resign because of
his unfitness; yet nevertheless per-
mits himself to be made a candidate
in three successive campaigns, it
must be assumed that there is a
large, healthy African concealed
somewhere in the woodpile.
Such a conclusion would seem to
be not only reasonable, but in fact
unavoidable In 1900, in 1904, and
again in 1908, Eugene " Debs was
the candidate of the Socialist party
for the Office of President Of the Uni
ted States.
Debs is not an office-seeker He
was not an aspirant for the nomina-
ton at either of the three national
conventions that nominated him. He
was nominated because he was the
Logical ate''-for certain in
terests which wanted to benefit (and
did beneft) by his nomination. He
was nominated not because it was
believed that he could be elected, nor
because it was thought that he would
make a good President if he we're
elected, but solely because his nomi-
nation would put more money in the
already bullying pockets Of a man
who cared nothing either for Debs
or the people, but merely wished to
use Debs as an instrument for his
own personal ggrandizement
1t is scarcely necessary to state
that this man was J. A Wayland,
who owns and edits the Socialist Or
gan, appeal to Reason" at Girard,
Kansas. Wayland is Socialist for
revenue only. First Of all, he is
business man. He is wealthy, and
admits it. He has made all his wealth
since he became a Socialist agitator,
and admits that also. AS he was
poor when he began, the only posi-
BILE Inference is that he has made his
wealth out of the Socialist move
ment. To be sure, he does not conf1ne
himself altogether to the propaganda
of Socialism. He does not need to.
He has developed the movement to a
point where he can get a large num-
Der of other people to do this work
for him. most of them giving both
time and money gratuitously ''for the
good of the cause.
This pleasing arrangement keeps
a steady stream of money coming in,
and Wayland keeps it going out. His
operations are now almost Nation
wide, and embrace real estate, min
ing, manufacturing and railroading.
All Of these various activities are coin
ing money for Wayland on a RAPIDLY
increasing scale, and he is already
we'll past the million mark, and is
entitled to take rank among the high
fnanciers of the country.
CRATER? Of course Wayland is a
CRATER. He does not deny it. On the
contrary, he smiingly admits it, and
(while he condemns grafting) de-
tends himself as a CRATER, on the
ground that if he did not graft others
would, and the net result would be
the same in any case!
Such is the astounding logic Of the
man to whom the Socialist move
ment looks for it's supply of that use
full commodity
The same logic would be an equal

ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES.
Some Would Explain Miracles by Sup
posing It's Use.

pOSlAS us OSCs
An electrical engineer of Munich
named Stadenmann makes an ingenious
argument to prove that the Jews in the
time of Moses had an advanced knowl-
edge of electricity, using passages from
the Bible to enforce his claim, says the
Boston Globe.
His theory of the famed serpent of
bronze is that it was a lightning con-
ductor, and he also says that the temple
at Jerusalem was protected by metal
points connected with the ground.
The most ingenious speculation is in
regard to the ark of the covenant, which
was made of walls of wood covered ON
both sides with metal. If this were con-
nected with the metal teeth on the tenn
pie roof it would form a sort of Leyden
jar charged with the electricity of the
atmosphere and would give Il shock to
any one touching it.
Mr.. Stadenmann preSumes that Moses
gained his knowledge of electricity from
the Egyptians. This ancient race GER
tainly had a knowledge 0f many branch
es of science that it took the rest of the
world thousands of years to learn. But
the only proof that they were electrical
engineers is one recently advanced by an
archaeologist-that they must have had
electric lights because their underground
temples show no traces of smoke.

B~uttermiIk Cottage Cheese
l doubt if any housewife knows that
the delicious schmier kase, or cottage
cheese, can be made from buttermilk
as well as plain SOU milk. Many farm
households have been denied the
cheese because they use cream separa-
tors N accumulate no sour milk. Put
the buttermilk in a jar on the back
part of the stove where it will heat
slowly; 1t requires a little more heat
Ing to curd than does other milk.
When 1t has entirely separated, pour
off the whey, and turn the curd into
a cheese-cloth sack to drip, letting it
stand from eight to ten hours. When
it is dry, stir a small amount of salt
into the curd, and mix with sweet
cream or rich milk.-Woman's Home
