The 'ca,e Of Deb,.

When Eugene v. Dcbs spoke at Canton. Ohio.
on juno I6 he said that for the sentiments there
expressed he expected to be indicted and tried.
He has had his wish. Federal grand jury at
Cleveland has presented him on various counts for
violating the laws of the United States which run
against sedition.
Mr. Debs was not without warning. Others Of
his type have been tried and convicted, says. the
New York World What they had said he repeat
ed. He knew the law and he familiar with its
Interpretation by courts and juries. 1t must be
assumed that. for egotism defiance, he came to
the conclusion deliberately that il time for him
to go to jail again.
Except in some pro-German cities, we do not
believe that much sympathy will be wasted upon
Mr.. Debs. Although he has been four times the
candidate of his party for the Presidency he never
has represented its intellectual elements, and to-
day with his opposition to the war, he is separated
from them more widely than before He is
an crratic person, given to violence. and what
prosecuting attorneys have always been reluctant
do he many occasions has eagerly invited.
The laws of the United States are not enacted
in any spirit of levity. In time of war especially
they exactly what they say. 1t is one legiti-
mate boast of democracy that in the presence of its
decrees candidates for the Presidency and Prcsi-
dents themselves are in no wise superior to the
humblest citizen.

LOW PRICES LIKELY
FOR COTTON GOODS
Schedule Put Up to President After
Consulting Manufacturers.

Recomme ndations for fixed prices
of cotton goods, made by the War
Industries Board after consulting
with manufacturers. were placed be-
fore the President yesterday after
noon.
In advance of the Presidents ac-
tion, IL could not be learned off,
cially whether there would be an
increase or decrease. but il is known
that the preliminary schedule Of
fered by the manufacturers two
weeks ago. compiled on the same
basis as that completed yesterday.
was considerably under the market
at that time.
The prices suggested by the man
ufacturers then. however. were for
only four staples: yesterdays sched-
ule covers the market thoroughly.
The attitude of the manufacturers
of cotton goods. when they were
called first to conference with the
price fixing committee of the War
Industries Board. and later when
they submitted their staple sched-
ule OF reduced prices, was that the
market had gone wild and needed
strong control OF rising prices for
the advantage of the industry IT.
self.
1t was indicated then. and there
has been no intimation of any
change in the situation. that most
OF the manufacturers were willing
to have a price schedule lower than
the current one in order to stabilize
the cotton goods business. so 1t is
expected that the Presiden will re-
turn with his approval lower fixed
price.

The German Peace Program.

1t has been complained of all the peace pro-
posals that have come from German statesmen
fhat they were vague, obscure and lacking in detail
No fault can be found with the program put for
ward by Count Room, member OF the Prussian
House Of Lords, any of these points. He is
painfully specific, precise and full of detail. The
synopsis OF his plan, given in Havas dispatch
from Base, Switzerland, is comprehensive, accord
ing to the New York Sun, and he cannot be charg-
ed with overlooking anything. A peace acceptable
to Germany, he says, must provide:
Annexation of Belgium with administrative
autonomy in the interior.
Independence of Flanders.
Annexation OF the entire Flanders Coast, in
Guiding Calais.
Annexation OF the Brey and Longwy basins
and the TouI, BeIfort and Vcrdun regions eastward
Restitution to Germany OF all her colonies, in
cluding kaio-C -Chau.
bases and coaling stations Germany designates
Great Britain must return Gibraltar to Spain,
cede its war fleet to Germany, restore Egypt to
Turkey and the Suez Canal to Turkey.
Greece must be reestablished under former
King Constantine with frontiers as before the war
Austria and Bulgaria will divide Serbia and
Montenegro.
Great Britain, France and the United States
must pay all of Germany's costs, the indemnify
being minimum OF S45,ooo,ooo,ooo"
There is only indication of weakness in
Count Rooms proposals. He does not assume
that the arrangement he has worked out will be
accepted by the entente happy solution of the
difficulties that now exist. This is pity. true
Prussian would look for applause from his victims
as he recited to them such liberal terms. But the
count goes far to anticipate noncom-
pliance with the plan he advocates, and suggests
that France and Belgium be occupied by German
troops until the last cent of indemnity has been
paid.
Count Rooms proposals have one virtue The
answer to them would come easily from any states
man OF the entente.

While contributions to many other
causes have fallen on since the war
began, more money has been con-
tributed to the National woman's
Party in the last six months than

Senators-Remember Your Dutyi

Senate suffrage leaders declared last week that
they would not agree to with the suffrage
amendment unpassed. The whole country is behind
them in this attitude.
Only in the Senate OF the United States is an
attitude OF indulgent contempt toward the women
of our nation to be found. Nowhere else is their
contribution to the winning OF our war disposed of
slightngly. Nowhere else is the insnuation made
that they spoiled darlings OF an indulgent coun
try.
Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, is one of the
few public men in the United States who, while
Witnessing the daily toll and sacrifice of the wom-
Of all classes, made for the sake of their nation
speaks of them in this way:
"All this lingo about the women of America
being ensaved," he said in the Senate on June FL,
is pure trumpery and foolishness You cannot get
on trolley car without having to take off your
hat and give up your seat to every woman who
gets aboard the car, and they petted and flat
tered and-well, l will not say what else is done to
them, but they the queen bees of this country"
Senator Brandegee. fortunately, does not repre-
sent the attitude OF American on this subject
President Wilson will have the support of the
large majority OF this nation if he insists that the
Senate pass before it recesses this measure giving
to women the recognition of citizenship in the
nation they loyalty serving
And there is no doubt that if the President in
ssts, the Senate will obey.
Mr.. Wilson's power over Congress is we'll
known He has rarely, if ever failed to put through
measure in which he was vitally interested
Against enormous opposition he has again and
again attained the result he desired If he earnest
ly desires that justice be done the women of Ameri-
ca as he has said that he does, he insist that
suffrage be passed before the Senate recesses.
President Wilson's action now will answer ef-
fectively the charge that his support of the amend
iDent IS mere prcense," made after leaders of the
Presidents own party in the Senate had been allow
