"Comrade Debs.,

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: On Sat

Webster City and its environs. will
have the opportunity OF, listening to
one Of the greatest men of our cOun-
try, Eugene v. Debs, or as we men
and women of the Socialist party
love to call him, Comrade Debs. Why
should you go to hear Gene Debs?
What message has he to challenge
your attention?
Why out Of the scores of men who
come and go upon your lecture plat
forms should we bespeak your time
for him? Is it because of his ora
tory. or his Accomplishments. or the
beauty Of hts life or character, for
he can lay claim to all these. that
we ask you to hear him?
No, not for these do we seek an
audience for our great comrade. but
because he comes to you with new
message. He comes preaching the
gospel of Industrial cooperation
the new gospel, which is to replace
the old brutal, dehumanizing Cos
pei of Industrial competition.
Few people today will deny that
the bulk OF the laboring fnen and
women, OF even our advanced coun-
try. are ill-paid. badly housed and
badly fed. Still fewer will deny the
fact that the day Of the small bust
ness man is rapidly passing, every
where the tendency is for ether the
absorption of the small business man
by larger firms engaged in the same
pursuit, or his humiliation by those
with greater capital II he refuses to
cooperate.
AS nation we are face to face
with some stupendous problems, ra-
cial. religious, educational and in
|dustrial and the industrial looms
larger than all the others combined
because it is the basic problem. of
|citiliZation.
How then to solve it?
Not by denying its existence.
Not by ignoring 1t.
Not by fighting desperately to re-
|tain fast passing phase of it, but
|by pooling our experiences. weigh
ling the evidence submitted by men
of conflicting opinions and going on

Letter From Canada.

In the course OF letter to his
brother Arch at kamrar, Percy
Neese writes as follows from his
present home In Shannavon, Sask.,
Canada, under date of June 8:
We trained in" $50 bushels Of
wheat yesterday and expected to
load 1t today in a car, but cannot do
so on account Of the rain. Roads
are soft and spongy and sometimes
the trucks will cut through the. sod
nearly to the axle. The engine loses
its footing occasionally and tears up
the sod on the prairie with the drive
wheel.
The roads here are four rods wide
every mile north and south and ev-
cry two miles east and west. This
four rods allowance does not come
off the section as it does in Iowa.
Each section is full. The east and
west roads can be secured every mile
upon petition and the government
pays for the land IL the farmers have
their patents.
Gasoline is forty cents gallon
Wholesale and fifty cents at the gar
ages. We are getting $4.25 per
acre for breaking sod. We use about
30 gallons of gasoline each day and
break about fourteen acres. The
weather has been very wet for some
time and we had about eight inches
Of snow on May 2Sth. 1t turned in
to rain and melted all the snow next
day. Crops OF all kinds. are looking
fine.
You better come up and stay thir-
ty or forty days and run separator.
l can get you $40 per day. Some pay
$1l for separator men.

|tOmODll6S upon the streets OK the city
| is to be brought before the attention
of the city council tonight. The
plan, 1t is said, has been In use for
some time In many places, but has
never, In its entirety, been suggest
ed here before.
The idea is to get the automobiles
away from the curbing where they
stand In large numbers when a
crowd is in the city, and park them
lin the middle of the street. A paint
ed line will be drawn down, the ex-
act center of the street and other
lines drawn on each side, eight feet
from the streets center. This por-
ton will then be painted off into
twenty foot sections within the ex-
act confines of the block, not in
Guiding street crossing and not in
Guiding the space around the n.y.
drants.
A man driving east on Second
|street and wishing to park his car,
win turn the machine into the paint
ed lines, occupying a "stall" or twen-
ty foot section little to one side
|of the middle line. Directly oppo-
site to him will be he/car parked
by the man driving west, who has
turned into twenty foot stall or
section. This way IT is figured that
there may beiabout "A cars parked In
one block, and the symetrical man
ner in which the cars will be lined
up will present an impressive spec
tacle to the travelling public. .f
1t is planned to park automobiles
lon Second street, from the city hall
corner to the Johnson House, and on
Seneca and First streets and perhaps
lon Wilson avenue and Des Moines
street, when there Is an overflow.
The space north of the alley north of
Second street will continue to he U.S.
ed as a parking place for automobiles
whenever desired.
Should the desired change take
place, 1t will for a time require an
extra policeman to see that all auto
mobiles are parked according to
plans and that none are left standing
at the side Of the streets next the
curb. Saturday night in this city
has for few years presented the as
pect OF perfectly crowded and dis
organized are-automobiles
lined up along the curbing and cars
coming and going up and down the
narrow center Of the street-now and
then machines being backed into the
middle Of the street endangering the
occupants of not only that machine
hut any which might be approach
ing.
The plan is a good one, if 1t is
strictly enforced. without strict en-
forcement. it would be as useless as
the fifth wheel Of a wagon.
