DUBLIN, May 10.--Sinn Fein il facing
the forthcoming Irish elections In a tri-
umphant mood. Sim Feiners declare
that every one Of their policies. from
the boycott OF Ulster to their warfare
against the Crown. are bearing mag
nificent fruit. This is In addition to
their belief that they will make a clean
sweep of the Southern Parliament. Civ
ting the Unionists only three or four uni
versity seats. and that they will have
sixteen to twenty seats out OF the fifty
two In the Northern Parliament They
say their position at the end of the
month will be tremendously strength
ened on the economic, military and
political sides.
1t Is In this frame Of mind that most
of them are now talking regarding Sir
James Craig. the Ulster leader; Prof
de Valera, LORD Derby and others who
between the Dali Eireann and Downing
street Their spokesmen claim that the
De Valera-Crai conference was q direct
fruit Of their boycott Of Ulster.

The bill was on the regular CAL
endar and one objection by a. sena-

a quorum is never raised on routine
matters and senators are thus per-
mitted to engage in committee hear
ings.
Several routine bills were being con-

The clerk read the Poindexter bill
as favored by the committee. This
proposal involving the liberty Of mill

an instant. No objection was raised,
no vote was taken and the chair an

Almost Immediately after its pas

until finally disposed of.
The bill is referred to as a railroad

DON'T Let D'E|BS 5
STAY: PRISON.
Chicago Evening American In
Sists He Committed No Crime
and Should Be Released :

The Chicago Evening American has
Joined with number of Socialist and
trade union papers in demanding the
release Of Eugene v. Debs from the
Federal prison at Atlanta. It calls
attention to the fact that nearly one
million people voted for Debs for
president at the last election, and that
a distinguished banker once held in
the same prison was pardoned on
representation to the president that
his health was not very good.
twill Debs die in prison ?" asks the
American. Norman Hapgood thinks
1t probable" declares the Chicago
paper, and it declares Debs violated
no law. He was convicted for ex-
pressing an opinion and it holds he
should be released without further
loss Of time.
"Debs was put In prison, under spe-
cial war legislation, during the war,
on account of things he believed and
said," asserts the American.
AL that Debs believed and said
was he did not believe in the war,
didn't think it necessary.
''Unless thinking what you really
think and saying what you really
think is a crime-which it isn't &C.
cording' to the Constitution of the
United States-Debs committed no
crime. He did not assassinate, assault
or rob anybody. The question in
volved in Debs' imprisonment is not
a question as to his soundness of
judgment-the Constitution of the
United States says nothing about that.
1T doesn't say that: man may
express his thought, provided the
thought be sound. The Constitution
says that a man shall have the right
to say what he thinks. but cannot
legally advise attacks on others. Debs
never did that. Men accused of crime,
from murder down. have been set free
by the dozens lin this country, since
Debs went to jail.
I'm the federal prison where Debs
is now under q sentence that will
probably outrun his life. a distin-
guished banker was in prison not long
ago. Although he had millions al
ready, he had stolen more from those
who couldn't afford to lose it:
His doctor said his health was not
very good, and the president Of the
United States let him out. Mr.. Taft
was tho president then.
"Debs' judgment may be unsound
on war, perhaps on all questions.
But that isn't the question in
volved. The question is, If you put
man in Jail for free speech in the
midst Of war excitement, should you:

try could quit his employment, but IT
he induced another to quit, he would
be liable to a fine Of $4,000 or 10
years in prison, or both.
The teamster who hauled the ma
chine to the railroad train or ship
would likewise come under this act
as would every other worker whose
labor was part Of the machine.
The act. in short. would reach any
one employed on commodities shipped
outside Of the state In which the COM
modities were manufactured.
The act is the most far-reaching
ever passed by an American law
making body and would enslave the
wage earners of. this country.
With fine irony, the last section
Of the bill provides: ''That nothing
in this act shall be taken to deny to
any individual the right to quit his
employment for any reason"
But If that individual does any
thing with intent to obstruct, de-
lay. hinder or prevent the movement"
Of interstate or foreign commerce, he

If he makes a. speech, or circu-
lates printed word that the court
would hold is 'liable" to cause a
strike and thus interfere with inter-
state or foreign commerce, he can be
held under the act.
