known as Bad Rock Tom At these livery,

Penny's Ferry
About a half a mile below Demersville is
the principal point of crossing from the
west to the east side of the Flathead river.
Mr.. Penny, who is a native of old Ken
lucky, settled on his splendid ranch of
10 acres and started his ferry here in Aug
ust, 1886. Mr.. Gregg had a little cabin then
near Demersville, but to Mr.. Penny belongs
the credit of putting up the first frame
shingled building in the valley. Too much
credit can not be awarded this gentleman
for the construction of the beautiful wa
h gOn road between his ferry and Egan
which he cut out through a solid forest OF
/ several miles at his own expense. Last year
a petition Of Mr.. Penny for keeping and
running a ferry across the Flathead river
at DemersVille, was granted.

added 226 lodges and wiped out the
debt. He resigned in 1892.
In June, 1898, Debs organized the
American Railway Union at Chicago.
His salary dropped from $4,000 a
year, which he received from the
firemen's organization, to SIS a
month. In fact, there were many
at all.
His activities in the American Rail-
way Union marked an epoch in his
career, for they included the great
railway and Pullman strike of 1894.
For their activity, Debs and his as
sociates were tried for conspiracy to
obstruct the mails, the charges later
being dropped. He was sent to Jail
for six months in May, 1894, for
alleged violation of an injunction
issued by William Howard Taft,
then a Federal district judge.
In 1878 Debs made his first politi-
cal speech, advocating the principles
of the Democratic party. He was
rendered the nomination for Con-
gress, which would have been
equivalent to his election, but he de-
clined it. 1t was while in Jail in
1894 that he first became interested
in socialism, through the efforts of
Victor l.. Berger.
Presidential Candidate
Debs first became a candidate for
the presidency in 1900, running as a
Socialist Democrat. The Debs vote
began at practically nothing and in
creased at subsequent elections, his
final vote in 1920 amounting to
919,7 And the last vote was cast
while Debs was serving a sentence
in Atlanta prison.
Americas entrance in the World
War found Eugene Debs as unalter-
ably opposed to bloodshed as ever.
He did not believe in it; he opposed
the draft. In a speech at Canton.
Ohio, June 16. 1918, he declared,
among other things, that workers
are fit for something better than
slavery and cannon fodder"
A reporter for the Cleveland Plain
Dealer heard the Canton speech. Be
lieving 1t a violation of the war laws,
he notified the Department of Jus
tice. Debs was indicted June 20,
1918. by a Federal grand jury in
Cleveland. His speech was declared
a violation of the espionage act. He
went on trial Sept. 9, before Federal
Judge D. c. Westenhaver.
On Sept. 10, Debs was convicted
and sentenced to ten years impris-
onment. Debs began his term April
10 Of the following year at Mounds
vile, w. Va. On June IA he was
transferred to the Federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga.
Many agencies and organizations
throughout the land appealed for his
immediate release. Many indigna-
ton meetings were stopped by may.

was a path of love and hope for
him.
Men forgot their politics when
Eugene Victor Debs appeared as a
citizen. Everyone knew him and
called him Gene. He was never too
busy to shake hands.
In my early newspaper days
have covered Debs many times. 1
have been on campaign platforms
with him when he attacked what he
called "the controlled capitalistic
press"
Nothing Personal
After many of these addresses,
Debs would throw his arms around

me that l was on the Outside" and

Worried Wife

Debs, what would Gene give away
next.
During his campaign for Congress

went with Debs on his speech-mak-

counties.
On one Saturday afternoon, I
went with Debs in an automobile to
coal mining town where he was
to speak that night. The roads were
in bad condition and several times
the car was in danger of turning
over.
AS the car started down a Slip

a bridge, the driver struggled sue

His Trip to Prison
recall the night that Debs, unes-
corted by any Federal officers, left
Terre Haute for Atlanta, Ca, where
he was to serve ten years after be-
ing convicted for obstructing the
draft during the war.
The station was packed with
people, his followers and towns
people. In the group was young
man in the uniform of a United
States soldier.
The soldier made his way to Debs
and said "Comrade."
Tears came to the eyes of Debs
as he kissed the soldier.
Better days will come" Debs
said. War will stop. There will be
no more war. but remember you
have taken an oath"
With that he again kissed the
cheeks of the soldier and made his
way through the crowd to his train.
His one sorrow was that he was to
be separated from Mrs. Debs.

pulled out.

necessity of educating all people to
think intelligently. l have heard him
urge young men to read the right
kind of books. He preached love for
all men.
On the platform, Debs was one
of the most brilliant speakers l have
ever heard. His command Of Eng
lish was remarkable.
And yet back of all that he did
and paid for, Debs, am sure,
thought he was right.
