Decidedly Fair Character Story of the Great Socialist Agitator and Presi dential Candidate—A Prophet |i Not Without Honor .Save In Kb .Own ConnUj —Mr. Debs 1m .a .Favorite Among LeadlBg literary His of the Day. The' greatest living scientiest, Alfred Russell Wallace, writing from Park stone, Dorset, England, last March, paid the highest possible tribute to a Terre Hautean when he said: "Eugene V. Debs Is a great man. With a few more such to teach and organize the people,, the cause of justice must prevail." It has been only a few years since the name of Debs was synonymous with an archy according to the popular concep tion, and daintily scented men felt tainted in his presence. Today he is a candidate for president of the United States. He has attained a remarkable personal popularity in conservative Boston. He has averaged a speech a day for the last ten years and has come to be understood. However much men may disagree with his policy, they can not help but love the man. And in Terre Haute, where he is best known the name "Gene Debs," is spoken with an affectionate inflection on the "Gene." That the readers of the Star might have a better acquaintance—a fairer ac quaintance with this unusual and in teresting man, a representative of the paper spent three delightful hours at Mr. Debs' home on North Eighth street the other afternoon. There was noth ing on the outside to suggest a spirit of anarchy or disorder. Vines half hid the porch, flowers bloomed beside it. A canary bird outside the door rtiade the air melodious. The Library. And in the library while awaiting Mr. Debs a rapid survey of the room told a similar story of refinement, order and culture. On the wall hung pic tures of Hugo and* Beethoven. On the mantel stoodbrOnze busts of Reubens and Rembrandt. On the book shelves were the choicest books that have been bequeathed by the geniuses of ages to the world. Hugo, Locke, Balzac, Scott, Shakespeare, Burns, Goethe, Browning, Swift, Ebers, Michelet, Maeterlinck, In gersoll, and similar authors told of a literary taste that explained the own er's personal popularity with so many of the literary giants and artistic men of the present day. Mr. Debs, who liad been down town, entered the room with his arms full of papers and in his char acteristically breezy fashion made his visitor feel unusually at home. "Let's go up to my den," he said, with a Smile, and up we went. It is a plea sant north room. Here is another li brary in which books on Socialism prer dominate, a work table covered with papers and manuscript. Close beside the table is a sewing machjiie and.work table where Mrs. Debs works. It was an ideal arrangement. With modesty and at the. reporter's request, the candidate for president and foremost Socialist In America told the story Qf hig $v-x\Y e^uqation.. Hi 'Wertt j^Wen 14 years ~old lui" the Yandalig. shop's, and *at *J6 was tir ing an engine. And yet today he is one of the few men in public life whose utterances are literature. How did he do it? In answer to this important question Mr. Debs smiled arid, then he looked serious. He told feelingly of his intense humiliation when he quit school and realized that his classmates were going ahead of him of how hopeless the future looked and black. He came to the conclusion that he would have to educate himself. For eighteen long months, while firing an engine at night he studied by day, read the best liter ature, history, poetry, magazines. In company with others, he helped form the Occidental Literary club and be came its molt enthusiastic member. "I hear that the Star had some ref erence to my speech on 'Patrick Hen ry,' he observed smiling. "I had al most forgotten it. It waa the most terrible experience of my life. The club arranged for a public meeting at Corinthian hall at the northeast corner of Third and Wabash. The place was packed. Father McEvoy was on the program and I expected him to take up most of the time. My consternation was heart-rending when I learned that he was not to speak, and that the whole burden was on me. I remenjber how great beads of prespiration came out on my forehead. The sight of the audience almost -paralyzed me. The audience was sympathetic and made it as easy as possible and when I con cluded they saw how crestfallen I was and pushed about me and told me how I distinguished myself. I knew bet ter and that night I went home through the alleys. But like all the rest, I de termined that one day they should real ly hear me speak." Elected to Legislature. For thirteen years Mr. Debs was Grand Sec'y and Treasurer of the Bro therhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers. In 1884 he was elected to the legislature. "And how did you become a Social ist?" was asked. Again he looked serious and intense. The light—a peculiar light—came in to his eyes. He thought a moment and replied: "It was when the A. R. U. strike fail ed. I was in jail. And while I was' in jail I thought and read. My whole life had been devoted to the cause of organ ized labor. I realized then that when the final test came that capital would always triumph—because it has the government. I concluded that perma nent help could only come through the overthrow of the capitalist system. Vic tor L. Berger, of Milwaukee, 'teacher of German in the schools there brought me Karl Marx's "Capital." Here it is now(and he took it off the shelf.) Here is the inscription. That man Ber ger and that book 'Capital,' converted me. And as soon as my mind became receptive it all came to me in a flood. Socialism is today my religion." It was a short time after this that Debs became intimate- with the bril liant New York journalist, John. Swin ton, who died about a year ago.' Swin ton was at heart a Socialist. He real-j ized the herculean mature of the task that Debs had set himseif to do. "Have you thfc courage?" he asked. Dobs auur*4 him th&t bo bad And 8»KS8 wasprep&rectffb come.' 'Vr-S-lg "Oh, yes," amfw always stand to ^ha^e'^thpseYli/atta-t^ed turn upon' ed and had worked tot p$m turned upon*me it was that that- broke my^ spirit5\ Can you stand that?" rt- Again a firm affirmative reply. "How long will" you 'liver.'' asked Swinton. "You .wJH be .dea_di in "two years." 'I shall live until- I fulfill" my' mis sion, whatever jthat may" be," said Debs. About a year ..ago Debs stood by'the bedside of the dying Swinton and: re ceived his'benediction. -v- Future of Socialism. And what of the future of your cause?" was asked by the reporter. A remarkable change, is taking: place. We are now admitted to the great metropolitan press. The Inde pendent and the5 Literary Digest have written me for artiples. This will be epoch-making year for -Socialism, The article of Lawson on Amalgamated Copper will riiake thousands of So cialists. The capitalists themselves are destroying themselves." *. "How do you account for-your pop ularity in conservative Boston?" was asked. "r I must tell you of my experience be fore the Twentieth Century club, the most exclusive club of 1 Boston,", he re plied with a smile i'-'it was just after the strike, when most people thought I was a monster of depravity. I spoke before a packed house in Faneuil hall. The next day I received a note from Edwin B. Mead, editor of the New Eng land magazine, saying^\that he had heard me and would in&e to have me talk before the Twentieth Century club of which he was president. When the time came it was ladies' day. We all sat down to the table.' The cream of Boston was there. Mead had me next to him. No one knew who I was. At length Mead arose and said he had guest for whom he asked indulgence one much hated and misunderstood. He then introduced me. He Charmed Boston. "You should have seen the expres sion on those people's faces. It was just such an occasion as breaks a man all up or brings to the,surface all his latent strength. And I never felt more kindly toward people in all my life. In five minutes I had dispelled that hate, and at the end, of forty minutes I had them for my. friends and they are my friends today." He then went on to. pay a glowing tribute to the. spirit of Boston. "I see you have Dixon's books—the 'Leopard's Spots,!', "and his attack on Socialism," observed the reporter. "Dixon is brilliant, resourceful, but sentimental, and his books will have no permanent pl'ace in literature," he said, forcefully. "No man can write his name in imm,ortai letters who takes the ground that one-race was created to be the bondsmen of another, race." Then followed Aojie- of the most bitter attacks on slavery—iand most brilliant —the writer everi hgard. "It does not nidtter that the Creator has, sown/with ^tkrs the ether and has decked/ the' eartH' with countless beau ties for,iman'^e^oym^nt. It does not matter ^that air^^jid oc^an teem., with wojideraof in^jimer^ble forms of life to' Challenge admiration and in vestigat}og. It not,^naitter ^rlratjaiaK fortn all-her -scenes of ture spreads beauty- and gladness and' pours forth the melodies of her myriad tongued voices for man's 'delectation.' If liber ty is ostracized and exiled, rpan is a slave, and the $orld rolls around in space arid 'whirl's around the sun gilded prison, p,.. ppomed dungeon, and though- painted,- in all the enchanting hues that infinite art could command it must stand forth a blotch amidst the singing spheres fff the siderial heavens and those who .jull from the vocabu laries of nations, living or dead, their flashing phrases with which to apos trophize liberty are Engaged in Rer petuating the most stupendous delu sion the ages have known. Strike down liberty, no matter by what subtle and infernal art the deed is done the spinal cord of humanity,vis.sundered and the world is paralyzed, by the indescriba ble crime." An Admirer of Hugo, "I notice you are an admirer of Hu go," was the next impertinent observa tion. "Ah, he was the champion of 'Les Miserables.' He was a great soul. He was always on tfee side of those who needed him, Do you remember in 'The Man Who Laughs' -tlie hitter satire on man? The wolf and the man—and the man's plea to the wolf, 'And .whatever you may do, Homo never degenerate into a man.' "Mitchell's 'French Revolution' I be lieve is about thie only work on the sub ject tinged with Socialism," suggested the reporter, "No, Gronlund'g 'Ca Ira' is more .so, He was a great genius—Gronlund knew him well. He literaly famished, He came to this country and lectured, Just after I got out of jail he gave me the manuscript of his book receently published by Stone, ljut I was too poor myself to do anything with it. A short time before he died he/wrote me that Hearst had given -him a position on his new York paper. In it he patheti caly said he could nfow at last feed, bis poor body, and said that many times he had contemplated suicide." Patron of. the Drama. "How do you dissipate?" was asked, "You are fond of- the! drama, I be elieve." "Oh, very fond-• Of the drama, tf had the time I should be a constant patron of the drama. I think the stage is one of the great educators. It has the advantage over -some educational agencies of entertaining and refreshing while instructing and elevating. You can rest your body,'and educate .your spiritual organism. I believe the 'stage has a great future., It is evolving, un dergoing great changes, afld ia tp be come a generally recognized factor in the intellectual and spiritual develop ment of the race." Just now Mr. Debs is working seven teen hours every.day. He is at work at five in the morning and'works until ten at night. After a cold water bath he begins work.and continues until his breakfast. During the day he writes From seven at night until ten h$ reads. Mrs. Debs is companion and advisor, a charming woman. Barnes Whitpomb Riley, who is a great friend of Mr.\ Debs has been a ^frequent- guest 'at th'ejpeb^ home. ^/^,, Mr. Debs^ sfcow$ „hi^Jre|ich k£tr%c- Planned Riot Which Resulted In Saturday's Deportations at Cripple Greek. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Aug. 22.— No secret is made "here of the fact that the deportation' of Attorneys Eugene Eugly, E. J. Hangs and J. C. Ceal and 12 other men from this district Sat urday night, was planned by members of the Mine Owners' association and Citizens' Alliance and was carried out under their direction. The El Paso, Vindicator, Findley and other large mines -were closed down when the day shift stopped work arid the .miners pf both day and night shifts were request ed to assemble in Cripple Creek as trouble was brewing. A report had been circulated that several hundred deported union men were returning to the camp in a. body and it had been determined, to. drive them away again, should they come. This report proved to be groundless. However, other work had been laid out for the 2,000-miners, who swarmed into the town and acting under orders given by leading citi zenp they proceeded to round up the federation attorneys employes of the Intermountain Mercantile- company tore and others who have openly ex pressed sympathy with the Western Federation oF"Miners and escorted them beyond the city limits. Officials "Out of Town." During the entire proceedings the sheriff of Teller county arid the mayor and. city marshal of Cripple Creek were out of town. Under Sheriff Parsons and'1 Deputy Underwood attempted" to control the mob, but were easily over powered. Many of the deputies who have been regularly employed in the district since the trouble early in June, it is alleged, were active as leaders of the mob. City Marshal Crowder arrived from Victor while the looting of the International Mercantile com pany's store was in progress and es sayed in vain to stop the destruction of property. The store is completely wrecked and the entire 'stock, valued at several thousand dollars, destroyed or stolen. Sheriff Bell arrived from Denver aft er the mob had finished its work and took measures for the protection of the prisoners in jail. He- said yesterday that he had no intention of asking the governor to send troops to the dis trict. He had advised President Moyer and Secretary Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners, not to carry out their announced purpose of sending the deported miners back to this 'camp as he would be powerless to protect them. Commissions Deputy. County Clerk Frank P. Mannix, who is on his ranch at Montrose, sent a telegram today commissioning J. Knox Burton, as deputy county. clerk, vice Michael J. O'Neill, who was departed by the mob. Mr, Burton waa under sheriff of Teller county at the time of the Independence depot explosion and Victor riot and with Sheriff Rob ertson was deposed from office by the citizens. It is thought that objections to Mr. Burton acting, as deputy county clerk will be made. Mr. Mannix re mains away in consequence of threats that have been made against him. Says tj'e Will Returh. COLORADO^ SPRINGS, Colov Aug. 2^.—Eugene W, Ehgley attornev g-euer-: al of Colorado, during/ the \W4ite adr ministration, 'one of the men run out- of Cripple: Creek, Saturday, argued a case court here today. "I intend to return to-Cripple Creek, he said today, "and I shall protect myself. I am not connected with the Western'Federation of Miners in any capacity my services to that orgariiza tion having ceased months ago." Will Re-open Store. DENVER, Aug. 22.—"As soon as 'ac tion is taken, by the federal court,' said Harry Heimerderinger, manager of the Montana corporation, "we will re open the Cripple Creek store and con tinue business. I have no doubt that the court will issue the restraining order against the mine owners which we will ask for. We shall endeavor to secure the affidavit of Deputy Sheriff Underwood to show that the peace of ficers "have failed to give us protection or were powerless to do so." Peabody Is Complacent. "I do not consider the disturbance in the Cripple Creek district of a serious nature," Governor Peabody said today 'It was jus a case of trouble between the people of the district and some out siders who wanted to come in. There was a third party "that got into trouble 'butting in' where they should not, and they were told to leave the district. "1^ understand' the officials of the county have the situation under con trol. I do not anticipate any applica tion from the authorities for help and without it I have no power to act.' STUTTERERS. According to a current anecdote, the Honorablte Joseph H, Choate met iti the street not long ago a friend who is confirmed stutterer. Button-holing the ambassador to Great Britain as he was turning a corner, the unfortunate gen tleman spoke as follows: I s-ss-y, Ch-choate, c-c-can you g-g-g-giye nwne h-h-half an hour for f-f-f-five m-m-minutes' c-c—c-conversa tion?" Another story is told by a well known cabinet officer. He reports the follow ing conversation as taking place diir ing a chance meeting between stut terers: First Stutterer: "Y-you w-w-want to try D-D-Doctor B-B-B-rown. old c-e-chap, for that s-s-stuttering of y-y-y-yours.
