DOORS OF PRISON ARE
CLOSED UPON DEBS

Moundsville. w. Va. April 10
Eugene V. Debs, many times social
list candidate for president, entered
the West Virginia penitentiary here
late today and began serving his ten
years sentence for violation of the
espionage act.
AS the prisoner stood in the door
way of the penitentiary he said: 81
enter the prison door a flaming revo-
lutionist. my head unbent, my spirit
untamed, my soul unconquerable."
Debs answered the required ques-
tions put by the warden who as
signed the prisoner to cell 81.
Prior to retiring to his cell, Debs
issued the following statement, ad-
dressed to socialists of America:
"As l am about to enter the prison
doors, l wish to send to the socialists
of America who have so Loyalty stood
by me since my first arrest. this lit
tie message of love and cheer. These
are pregnant days and promising
ones. We are all on the threshold
of tremendous changes. The workers
of the world are awakening and be-
stirring themselves as never before.
All the forces that are playing upon
the modern world are making for
theoverthrow of despotism in all its
forms and for the emancipation of
the masses of mankind.
81 shall be in prison in the days
to come. but my revolutionary spirit
will be abroad and l shall not be in
active"
Even after he lands in Jail Debs
gives additional evidence that that is
where he belongs.

NO PITY FOR GERMANY

Germany gets no pity in her woes
because those woes are the natural
result Of what she did-the results
she knew well enough were newt
able in case she lost the war. That
in the beginning. and long after the
beginning of it she did not admit the
possibility of defeat is no claim to
commiseration The confidence with
which her military leaders undertook
the conquest of the world was shar-
ed by the German people, with ex-
ceptions so few as to be negligible.
and it was with wild rejoicings that
the great majority of them, in the
August of 1914. heard the announce
'ment of what they thought would be
a short, glorious and enormously
profitable raid on weak and unpre-
pared neighbors. They were not de-
ceived, and they were not dragged
reluctantly into the contest which
has ended so disastrously for them.
The relief for which they are asking
on the ground of common humanity
throw seems probable they soon will
get but it will not be on that ground.
1t will be for the reason that only by
enabling them to live and work can.
they be made to pay part of what
they owe. The terms they call
"frightful" are but partial justice,
and they will excite no pity by in
sisting. as they do, that such terms
condemn them to slavery for half a
century. They are no more slaves
to their debts than are the conquer
ors to theirs. They are far from
alone in having heavy burdens to
bear for many year, and they have
no slightest excuse for demanding
release from obligations incurred of
their own will.-New York Times.

ONE OF NINE MARRIAGES
ENDS IN DIVORCE

Approximately one out of every
nine marriages in the United States
is terminated by divorce, according
to figures compiled by the bureau OF
-the census in Washington, recently.
Excluding South Carolina, where
all laws permitting divorce were re-
pealed in 1878, three lowest divorce
rates in 1916. for which year returns
are now complete, are shown for the
District of Columbia. North Carolina
and New York, where the rates were
1881 and 80 per 100000 respective
ly. The highest rates were return
ed for Nevada, Montana and Ore
gon, which show 607, 323 and 225
respectively.
In all states except Maine, West
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Colorado the divorce
rates were higher in 1916 than in
1906. In 81 percent of the cases
in 1916 the divorce was granted to
the husband. while the husband s
rate in 1906 was 81 percent.
Desertion is shown by the figures
to have been the cause for about 3S
percent of the divorces. Among
other leading causes were cruelty, in
fidelity and failure to provide.
Records also showed that the mar
riage rate in 1916 was 1850 per
100000 population or nine times as
great as the divorce rate of 112 per
100. 900. The marriage rate in 1906
was 1920 per 100000, showing the
marriage rate to be increasing con-
siderably slower than the divorce
rate.

SOLDIERS AND THE BALLOTS

The soldier boys who have come
back have become our monitors and
censors.
New York is full of them.
If they don't like what a street
speaker says they mob him.
If the opera doesn't please them
they organize chorus of their own
to sing America" to put the opera
out of business.
If they don't agree with what the
preacher says they hiss him and
yform a committee to demand an
apology
Economics, music, politics-nor
any other subject is beyond their
criticism.
And maybe the boys are doing us
a real service. Perhaps those of us
who remained at home have become
too soft. Possibly, we need more
of the heroic spirit that dominates
their actions.
Anyway, there's nothing to be
feared from this exuberance on the
part of our soldiers. When they
again fit into the normal life of the
nation they will express their pa
triotism in more even fashion, and
they'll strike with their ballots the
evils which they formerly struck
with their bayonets.-By the Rev.
Charles Stelzle.
