Russia Wanted Debs
Shortly after he was sent to pris-

STA cndeavored to obtain his release
in exchange for an American citizen
named DolOmatianO, who was in
custody in Moscow. The communist
congress Of Moscow in March, 1919,
announced that Debs was slated to
become the future soviet president
Of the United States" The Amer
lean Federation of Labor, after a
heated debate. voted down a resolu-

Late in 1920 he denounced Samuel

On being released from prison Debs

suffering from nervous breakdown.
This climax was not surprising to his
friends, as they had said when he
left prison that he looked broken

had entered.
His determination to cspousc the
cause Of labor, however. was un-
dauntcd by his incarceration or by
illness. When the strike OF railroad

LINCOLN FRAMED NOTED ADDRESSES
IN, THOUGHTFUL WALKS, PAPERS SHOW

Chicago, Oct. 2l-Boxes upor
boxes of his papers, now safel,
stored away, bear evidence tina,
Abraham Lincoln sought solitude
for his thoughts, as he walked.
To visualize Lincoln scribbling
thoughts on envelopes on his daily
walks in Washington was the priv
lege. Of one of the few men who
viewed his letters and papers before
the death of Robert T. Lincoln re-
moved them from further perusal
for twenty years. They show Lin
coins method, the development of
his ideas, the fact that his most
famous addresses were re-phrased
and rewritten sometimes four and
five times, until they became
finished gems of rhetoric.
Put Ideas On Envelopes
A scene is reconstructed. 1t
shows Lincoln stopping in his walk
to reach in his coat pocket for note
paper. He finds none, but finds a
number Of letters. He takes the
enevelop from one, tears it open at
each end and turns it inside out.
There he writes his idea. His walk
continues. Perhaps a second en-
velope would be used, second
idea noted.
Back at his desk, he would take
a piece of foolscap paper, trim the
envelope down to the size of his
notation on It, and paste that clip
ping at the top Of the foolscap.
Beneath that clipping the idea is
developed. The sheet is marked
number one. Under it, a second
sheet whereupon the original idea
is developed and then a third sheet
and perhaps q fourth and fifth,
bearing revisions. Some sheets
have two revisions interlined.

yet swell the chorus of the Union
when again touched, as surely they
will be, by the better angels Of our
nature"
As It Read First
That evidently met with Lincoln's
ideas. It was the last revision, one
that has a place in the various
volumes Of the worlds best prose.
Before this revision he had writ
ten it as follows:
~ close. We are not, we must
not be, aliens or enemies, but fell
low countrymen. Although passion
had strained our bonds Of affec-
ton too hardly, they must not, I
am sure they will not be broken.
The mystic chords which proceed
