CONVICTION OF DEBS

The conviction of Eugene V.
Debs, on an indictment charging
violation of the espionage act,
comes as decidedly welcome news
to the great body of patriotic
American citizens. who have no
sympathy for anyone whose po-
litical and social principles tend
to hobble the United States and
aid Germany, says the El Paso
Herald.
The former candidate for pres.
ident on the socialist ticket was
convicted on three of four counts.
He was convicted of attempting
to incite insubordination in the
naval and military forces Of the
United States; attempting to oh.
struct recruiting and uttering
language tending to incite, pro-
woke and encourage resistance
to the United States and to pro.
mote the cause of the enemy.
He was found not guilty on the
count charging that he opposed
the cause of the United States.
The jury's reasoning is hard to
follow in the decision as to the
fourth count. If Debs were
guilty of the first three counts,
it would seem that his guilt of
the fourth would be taken as a
matter of natural sequence.
Debs has been sentenced to
ten years on each of the three
counts, the sentences, however,
to run concurrently. Therefore.
he has but ten years to serve in
prison, a sentence very lenient
in view of the fact that in some
other countries, or in the United
States at some other periods of
history. such conviction would
carry the death penalty. Debs
will doubtless appeal and try to
keep his case in the courts as
long as possible, hoping in that
manner to keep out of prison.
Debs, though considered head
Of the socialist party in this
country, probably does not rep
resent the views of a majority of
his party. 1t has been noted
that most American socialists
not only have not resisted the
war course of the United States,
but recognizing the menace of
German imperialistic designs,
have whole-heartedly approved
the course of the United States.
Many of them are risking their
lives to uphold it.
Debs is Bolshevik. He ad-
mits it. He has voiced his SYM
pathy with the Bolsheviki of
Russia, whose course has been
toward the assistance of Ger
many and the destruction of
their own country. Such men
are dangerous.
Commenting on his conviction,
Debs says it is all right; he has
no complaint to make. That
makes it practically unanimous.

Of the reported disloyal utter

farmer living about six miles
north of Franklinton. During
the recent Red Cross drive after
Mr.. Mcgee refused a donation to
g, the lady solicitors, he was waited
upon by a committee of four
men, D. H. McCreary, M. A.
Thigpen, G. J. Gayer and E. l..
Magee, and upon their insisting
upon his cooperation in the great
work of humanity was told by
Mr.. Magee in substance. that he
hated the Red Cross, said the
Government had taken one of his
sons and he cared not how bad
he might be wounded or even if
he died he didn't want the Red
Cross to do anything for him.
Didn't give a damn what the
Government did, if he knew his
children would be treated as be
had been treated he would take
his knife and cut their heads off.
Finally despairing of getting him
in a better spirit, they agreed
among themselves to pay the
amount and left a receipt for Mr..
Magee, which, however, he re.
fused to take.
Judge Carter made a state
ment in behalf of Mr., Magee,
expressing his repentance for
disloyal utterances which were
made under vexing conditions OF
rush of crop work, ETC., and with
q somewhat similar statement
from Mr.. Magee himself, one
member of the Council moved
that if he make liberal dona-
tion to show his change of spirit
and accompany it with signed
statement of his loyalty, that the
matter be dismissed with no ap-
peal to higher authorities, Mr..
Magee accepted the condition
and turned in to the courcil

wards of the Parish object to this
proceeding, that the other wards
be formed into a Road District.
We further recommend that the
State Board of Engineers be re-
quested by your Honorable body
to make survey and recommend
a Road System for the parish,
for your consideration and ap.
proval; such Road System to uti.
lize all present roads which may
be available, to touch or directly
connect with all the principal
towns and settlements of the Par.
ish, and to connect with improv
ed highways already established
or in process Of construction, in
Tangipahoa and st. Tammany
Parishes, and with State and Fed
eral highways constructed, or in
process of construction, from
Tylertown, Mississippi to the
Louisiana State line: and from
Poplarville, Mississippi to Pearl
River.
We further recommend that an
election be called in the parish or
in the Road District, or Districts,
which may be established to vote
a tax of 8 mills for a period Of
twenty-five years for the construc-
ton and maintenance of the brid.
ges and roads Of the Parish, and
that so much of the proceeds OF
such tax as may be necessary to
pay for the construction of one
hundred miles Of good roads be
funded into bonds and that such
bonds be issued from time to time
as may be required to pay for
such construction.
In reference to construction lf,
the roads, our view is that it will
not be necessary, at least for the
present, to gravel or surface all of
the roads to be constructed, but
that in many sections the charac.
ter of the soil and the drainage is
such that surfacing will not be
required.
1t can hardly be necessary to
advance any a gument to demon
strate the fact that good roads are
a vital necessity to any commun.
ity and one of the main factors in
the advancement of its prosperity
and progress, This is especially
true as to Washington Parish be.
cause all the surrounding territory
in adjoining Parishes and Coun-
ties of Louisiana and Mississippi
are, or are rapidly being intersec.
ted by good improved highways
and Washington Parish will have
to fall in line in this respect if it
wishes to share in the progress
and prosperity of her neighbors.
1t is OF tue utmost Importance
that if the roads of our parish are
to be improved itsbe done in the
method provided by law, because
only in such way we can secure
aid from the State and Federal
governments, which aid it is ex-
will pay probably one half
Of the cost of construction of the
roads and perhaps more than one.
half.
We call the attention of your
Honorable body and the people OF
Washington Parish to the fact
hat the construction of a road
system will be but a slight burden
