BY lpAH McoLoNE GIBSON.
Through the trees which line a
pretty street in this little town OF
Terre Haute, Ind, the late October
sun was shining as l walked TO the
home OF Eugene Debs.
Here and there one housewife cali
ed to another from nearby porches.
Il came to a most homelike house,
which seemed in some way TO have
escaped much OF the disorder OF lit
tering leaves that were swirllng all
about. The lawn had evidently been
raked and the porch swept recently
The whole aspect Of house and yard
gave you to understand that order
was not only heavens first law, but
the first law Of the Debs household
as well.
Mrs. Debs smiled when said this
to her and remarked that two per-
sons cannot make much disorder In
comfortable-sized house" There is
a place for everything in the Debs
household and you may be sure that
everything IL in It's place. Perhaps
this is a part OF Mrs. Debs' German
heritage. In the cellar Ia the winters
supply OF wood, piled in tiers Of al
most impossible evenness.
Every clipping, every scrap OF
manuscript Is filed and tabulated, and
think Mrs. Debs could get any one
OF them for you at moments
notice" said Stephen Reynolds, biog-
rapher Of Debs.
The hall and living rooms Of the
Debs home are carpeted with soft
green. Everywhere are books and
here and there are autographed pic
lures OF many prominent men. The
furniture suggests comfort Over the
desk which Mrs. Debs uses there is
n splendid picture OF Mr.. Debs. This
has been her comfort through many
long hours when she has been alone
IN the house while her husband trav-
eled over the world in furtherance or
the cause to which he had dedicated
his life.
People say that Kate Debs believes
IN Socialism just as her husband
does, that she believes In her hus-
band and because he Is a Socialist
she believes in It, too. Don't for one
moment think Mrs. Debs Is easily
swayed because she does this. II Is
because she thinks OF all men her
husband is the strongest and the
most worthy TO be followed. She Is
a silent woman, but her beautiful face
grows eloquent with pride as she
listens to him talk.
Yes, Mrs. Debs Is a beautiful wo-
man, with softly parted white hair
and a complexion OF youthful pink
and white that any girl might envy
Her countenance is placid as though
she had never passed through the
fires Of struggle, pain and almost uni
yersal popular condemnation. To-day
Mr.. and Mrs. Debs might visit any
house In Terre Haute and its owner
would feel honored, but II was not
always SO. many times people have
risen from hotel tables where they
have been seated. as though they
feared contamination. All this hai
made Kate Debs draw within herself
and live only for her husband.
All this, however, Mrs. Debs counts

Not far from the village OF larry

as Sleepy Hollow.
Many stories are told Of haunting
spirits and one especially OF a head

by a cannon ball In some nameless
battle OF the revolutionary war.
Ichabod Crane was q young school

and the black night were as dismal

night. no signs OF life occurred about
him except the melancholy chirp OF
a cricket or the gutterA twang OF
bull frog. The night grew dark and
darker. He had never felt 80 lonely
IN all his life.
In the center OF the road stood an
enormous tulip tree, its limbs gnarled
and fantastic. As Ichabod approached
A. he began to whistle. He thought
his whistle was answered. Going still
nearer he thought he saw something
white hanging In the tree. He paused

only a spot in the tree which had been
hit by lightning, and laid bare.
Suddenly he heard q groan-hls

against the saddle. Was ii only the
rubbing OF one huge bough upon an
other?
About 200 yards from the tree a
small brook crossed the road. To

well knew. Ichabod's heart began TO

Government Is not perfect. It never
will be. Government is human prod
uct, not an exact science. But this
country Is the richest. the most pros
porous and the freest the world has
ever known. There can be no differ
ence of opinion on that point.
We remember politics and political
talk dimly as far back as the cam
paign of 1880. The talk In 1880 was
that we, the people, were oppressed
and in the hands OF the money power.
We have heard the same talk. with
variations, in every campaign since.
Meanwhile government has steadily
grown better. cleaner and more
efficient. We, the people, have steadily
grown more prosperous, more en-
lightened and more intelligent We
live much better and take life much
easier. But, IN proportion, about as

PERKINS AGREES WITHT. R.

t'In the national government" said
the colonel in speech last night, two
methods Of dealing with big business
have so far been tried, one that of
regulation through the interstate COM
MERGE commission, the other that of
destruction by means Of the antitrust
law. The first has been eminently
successful, the second has broken
down.
Regulation of the trusts by the
Roosevelt plan the colonel says has
been "eminently successful" From
his standpoint he is correct. His regu-
lation of the steel trust when he allow
ed it to gobble up the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company, after Commissioner
of Corporations Smith warned him
against displeasing the friendly Nor
gan interests, was SO successful that
the steel and harvester people are fl
nancing the colonel's campaign.
Mr.. Perkins believes the plan is sue.
cessful for he has said there will be
ample campaign funds for the Roose.
welt campaign.
President Taft's plan Of forcing the
reorganization of the unwieldy trusts
and of sending law-breaking trusts Of
ficials to Jail is not considered success
full by Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Perkins and
the trusts that are fighting Taft in this
campaign.

Omaha World-Herald: The presi-
dent has signed the bill to create an
industrial commission, and 1t is to be
hoped that the information that 1t
will gather will give an explanation to
some perplexing questions that are
being constantly asked. Farmers are
constantly coming to Omaha seeking
to find hands to do the work on the
farm. They offer, to married men,
house, rent free, garden, a COW, q
chance to keep couple Of pigs and
