Eugene V. Debs
; . “ Write me as one who loves his fellow m en.”
J Perhaps no more fitting epitaph can be chiseled
on the tombstone of Eugene V, Debs than the lines
in which Leigh Hunt described the vision o f Ahou
lien Adhern. IxiVe o f his fellow men, particularly
<if that fellow whom lie conceived to be the under
dog, was the ruling passion of D eb’s life.
¿' This passion for humanity made Debs eariy in
Ifis life a-p olitical rebel and his great capacity
for organisation and advocacy o f his cause made
him the natural leader of that political rehellion
which crystallized into the socialist- party in the
United States. He firmly believed that only through
tiie overthrow of existing government and the sub
stitution of the Marxian ideal was emancipation of
tjie submerged and suffering of humanity possible.
He believed war to be the consequence of capitalistic
¿reed and that men were justified in refusiug^to he
drafted for cannon fodder-.
; For that conviction and for his insistence upon
tiic right to voice it he suffered imprisonment and,
although an old man broken in health, he steadfastly
refused to recant a syllable, when such recantation
held out the hope of release. Black as are the stains
Upon the public record of Harry M. Daugherty, it
ik to his everlasting credit that he recommended
tjhe commutation of D ebs’ prison sentence for ob
structing the draft and to the credit of President
Harding #iat he granted the commutation,
i It is a great testimonial t6 the esteem which
liien hold for Debs, to the. respect they had fa t -his
tegrity and to their personal attachment to him
at hundreds who held no respect for his politics
joined in the plea for his release. Now that the old
man lies «old in death the greater part of America
ire believe must pay him the tribute that is due
fo great sincerity and to great ability. Out of step
4s he was with his country’s political progress and
"tith the popular opinion of his time he closes his.
qhapter, w e believe, a great American.
♦ Not even St. Paul has paid a greater tribute to
ihe power of love than did Dejbs when he said on his
release from prison:
I
“ I have discovered that love is omnipotent.
All the forces on earth cannot prevail against it.
Hatred, war, cruelty, greed and lust must all give
way before i t It cannot overthrow all tyrannies. It
Will empty prisons- It will not only emancipate the
human race eventually but to a great extent it lifts
i)s individually above the struggle while we are in
die thick of the fight for human brotherhood.”
! It so lifted Debs and made him a hero instead
of a Benedict Arnold.

• The Chicago attorney representing Mrs. Miriam
Noel Wright in her suit for divorce from her archi
tect husband, Frajpk Lloyd Wright, wakes the sage
dbservation that “ there are a lot more romances
kept quiet than the public is aware o f.” Whether or
ijot there is any more romance in the Wright family
ifnbroglio than the public is aware of, as a general*
tl1.0 attorney is undoubtedly correct
"W ithout question there are romances galore
that never get into the newspajwrs. In our capacity
as an humble laborer in the newspaper vineyard tr^*
ing to give the public what it wants within reason
w e are inclined to be rather glad of it. A little
romance now and then serves as a satisfactory
relish to the d a y ’s news, but too much of it becomes
wearisome.
’
• At the present time there are indications that,
if the public interest in romance isn ’t near the sat
uration point, it ought to he. There is the Wright
romance just flowering, the Aimee Semple McPlier-
son romance beginning to stale a little, the Daddy
Browning and Peaches romance promising a long
ran, the Hall-Mills romance bobbing up every now
and then. Besides there are echoes of some of the
Old romances to keep us reminded that romance is
not of a single time or place or people. Such are
the occasional reminders of the Thaw romance and
the Stillman family romances-. Un the whole we
should say that the public hasn’t suffered much
for want of romance. What it doesn’t know a I o u t
the «ntfisclosed romances of the world won’t hurt
