Is DEBS A MENACE?

The Communication of the sentence of
Eugene V Debs and his release from the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta by Presi-
press comment, pro and con. However,
the question of the expediency of his re-
lease. when viewed from all angles, sim
rers down to the most important phase
at a..-whether his release will tend to
revive socialistic and bolshevist agita-
ton, and if so, will such agitation result
in the conditions of anarchy which spot
ted the country like a pestilential rash
only year or so ago. VIII public self
reliance and patriotism be able to
weather the storm, if Debs resorts to a
campaign of preaching doctrines of dis
content and radicalism? Or will troops
have 10 be allied out to Quell mobs today,
as was the case in Boston when the po-
lice went on strike; in Gary when the
Reds were capitaIizing the spirit of in
jnstrial unrest; in Waukegan when the
Big steel strike broke; in Omaha when the
rabble stormed and burned the court
house and tried to hang the mayor; in
Arkansas during the serious race riots
that cost a score Of lives in New York at
the time of the IOngshoremen' and team
ster>' strike; in fact in so many differ
ent parts of the country during these com
paratiy 4y recent periods of strikes and
violence and rampant radicalism.
Today the country has before its gaze
the horror of the example of civilization
at stake in Russia the grim reality of
Austrians and Russians starving and
Poles dying of typhus, and the red spec
ire of BolsheviSm lowering over mobs
half-crazed with hunger in LODI and
Budapest, the people helpless to reorgan-
ize conditions and put in process those
functions of productive labor by which
they may earn their daily bread, to say
nothing of replacing that accumulated
store of wealth which is the capital to
finance labor. All this has been due to
radicalism. Are we immune? in the
face of the glaring examples of mob vio-
ehce and rioting of recent years, one
hesitates before replying. And now Debs
IS at large. The question for the Ameri-
can people to consider is whether civiliza-
ton can disappear over a wide area of
the earth's surface and survive in the
United States 1t always has survived
here, and the optimist is quick to reply
that it always will survive.
In face of industrial conditions as they
are today it would be well for the public
in general and the authorities in particu-
lar to watch closely the activities of Debs,
never for a moment forgetting that he was
not pardoned by President Harding; that
his citizenship has not been restored
that he never can vote or hold office; that
he has a malodorous record in the past,
during the war and that in
justice to the people as a whole he should
be treated no more considerably than any
other anarchist at large

Lowered vitality lays the foundation

considerably larger for the most recent

thereby an increase in deposits. 1t is an

The Meddler
off the coat FITS you, put it on

Stamping home last evening on an as
sortment of toes that were rapidly losing
consciousness, The Meddler came to the
conclusion that the ideal winter carnival
would be one in which everybody took at
least some small part. For no matter
how beautiful may be the highland
certainly no more beautiful one could be
imagined than last evening-one cannot
stand around in the snow for an hour or
more without getting cold feet both in
literal and figurative sense. 1t is prob
ably safe to say that a sense of ply
steal discomfort interfered with the enjoy
ment of four-ffths of the folks who
watched the fancy skaters at the rink
last evening. yet it was something which
could not be helped under the circum-
stances and for which nobody, least of all
those who connected with the carnival
management, could be blamed.
Winter sports offer plenty of thrills
especially the more spectacular sorts as
ski jumping, ice racing, etc,-but unfOrtu-
natcly they also offer plenty of chills.
The Meddler does not mean that only
those proficient in such things should at
tend outdoor functions of the kind staged
last evening. What he does mean is that
these functions are of less value as spec
tacles than as examples of the pleasure
that is obtainable through outdoor exer-
else in winter.
There never has been a winter within
The Meddler's remembrance when so
many Brattleboro people were interested
in outdoor recreation as at the present
time and there can be no shadow of a
doubt that this interest has been aroused |
in great measure by the unceasing efforts |
of the winter sports committee of the !
local Community Service organization. |
1t may also be said that conditions We're
never more ideal for the enjoyment of out |
door sports than they are just now, with !
snow of just the right sort for snow |
shoeing and skiing, plenty of good ice for
skating and a winter moon that should be
at its best during the next week. This

Dedicate New Lyndon
Institute December q

The handsome new administra-
ton building at Lyndon Institute,
that has been in process of con-
s~truction all summer, is to be
opened and dedicated on Thurs
day, December q, with appro-
pirate exercises. The principal adj
dress will be given by former gov
ernor and former congressman
Samuel W. Mccall of Massachu-
sets.
1t was expected at one time that
the building could be dedicated at
an earlier date, but it was finally
decided that it was advisable to
have the work on the building
completed. and the new equipment
all in before the building be open
ed to the public.
President Darling and Principal
Mathewson and the building com
mlttee have reason to be cOngrat-
ulated v the way the work has
progressed, despite the many dis
couragements and delays. 1t will
be remembered that Thompson
Hall burned last January, so, if the
new building is dedicated and
opened for service as now plan
ned, it will be within eleven
months after the fire. The new
building when fully equipped,
will be one of the finest school
buildings in New England and an
institution to be proud of.
