Russia,s Christmas Comes Late.

In Russia Christmas occurs IL days
after our own. Perhaps one of the
most interesting customs of the season
is the Russian Christmas feast, for
old and young alike, for which they
dress themselves in various masquerade
ing costumes and visit house after
house. accepting the hospitality of
their neighbors The Christmas sea
son is also notable for the fact that
the young girls try to find out whether
they will be married during the ensu-
ing year or not. Some of them at
twelve o'clock on Christmas Eve, Sc
cretly go out into the street and ask
the first man they meet what his name
is, Whatever name he gives will be
that borne by tlpir future husbands
such is the belief. Some of the girls
are very much disappointed when the
name Is not nice one, or when the
man. as he will sometimes, calls him
self Satan or something similar.

THE CLIO MESSENGER
Published Weekly at Clio, Michigan
Charles H. Reed, Editor

Eugene v. Debs, several times a
candidate for the presidency on the
Socialist ticket, convicted of dis
loyalty under the espionage act and
sentenced to Federal prison for a
period of ten years during the prog
ress of the war, was released through
clemency of President Harding on
Christmas day. The action of the
president in releasing Debs, while
far from meeting with universal ap-
proval, was probably sanctioned by
the weight of public opinion through
out the country, because it has been
the popular belief that Debs has con-
siderable ability, and while visionary,
is at heart honest and generous.
In consideration of these facts, if
upon his release Debs had ceased his
attacks upon the government of his
country, meaning thereby the gov
ernmental structure of the country,
and not the personnel of the govern
ment, the presidential pardon would
have obtained increasing support.
But instead of pursuing this wise and
logical course Debs, if newspaper
reports are reliable, was no sooner
outside prison doors than he issued
proclamation that as the rights or
| iginally inherent in American citi-
| zenship had ceased to exist, he would
henceforth consider himself "citi-
zen of the world" But one con-
struction can be placed upon these
words of Debs and that is that he is
still, as much now as in wartime, the
enemy of constitutional government
in these United States; that he is in
sympathy with those forces that are
engaged in stirring up strife and dis
loyalty and disregard of law in the
country; that under cloak of rep
resenting the masses of our citizen
ship he would set aside the orderly
progress Of those masses, as devel-
oped through the ballot and repre-
sentative government, and substitute
therefor the rule of an irresponsible
and incompetent minority because,
that minority comedies with his own
views. Not content to await the in
tellectual development Of his scheme
of government he would force it in
advance of the vital support that re-
sides alone in intelligence. 1t APP
pears that Debs' program, like that
of many other malcontents would
contemplate the losing of liberty in
the attempt to attain it. Let us say,
at this point, that every successive
step in the attainment of popular
government, socialistic or otherwise,
is possible, perhaps only possible,
under the constitution Of the United
States as it exists to-day. Further
more, we hold every enemy of the
constitution to be the enemy, not
only of his country, but of mankind.
If we could have our way we would
make adherence to the constitution
the basis of residence in this coun-
try. Aliens who will not accept it
should be promptly deported and citi-
zens who will not subscribe to it
should be imprisoned as public enc
mics or sent over to Russia where
in company with Big Bill Haywood
and fellow murderers, Lenine and
Trotzky, they could fry in their own
greese. C.H.R.
