E. V. Debs on the Jitney Question

(Owing to a mixtake In the make-up of E. V. Debs' article on the jitney question in the Sunday paper, the continuity of the article was destroyed, and Mr. Ieh« requested that it be reprinted. It follows here.—Editor Tribune.)

"Editor Tribune—The war of the traction corporation on the jitney ia but one of the modern phases of the age-old struggle between the Btrong and the weak, the cunning and simple, the rich and poor. "The traction company stands for capital and the jitney for labor in this fight. To put it in another way the former represents what we know as Wall street and the latter as the common people. "I have just read Mr. Beasley's statement in behalf of the traction company which appeared in a recent issue of the Tribune. For unadulterated gall this statement by the attorney of the traction company is certainly a prize winner. Mr. Beasley does not say so but he and the exploiting eastern cap-

italists he represents, who have been looting this city for years, want the jitneys suppressed. That is the way they want them 'regulated.' They want their owners, who are not as rich as Mr. Beasley's plutocratic eastern clients, loaded down with license fees, indemnity bonds and other legal extortions sufficient to 'regulate' them out of existence.

Complying With Law.

"When Mr. Beasley says that the traction company has complied with all the regulations provided by the law," he insults the intelligence of every citizen of this cdmmunity. Mr, Beasley is a corporation lawyer and a very shrewd one. Will he dare to defend that proposition in a public discussion before the people of Terre Haute? I will gladly offer my humble services in behalf of the jitneys and nothing would suit me better than the chance to analyze his petition in behalf of the traction company before the public utilities commission and to tear to tatters his statement in support of that petition. "Oh, the poor and shamefully abused traction company! Mr. Beasley's plea in its behalf is almost pathetic. As if we, the people of Terre Haute, were all feeble-minded and insensible to the great benefactions Mr. Beasley's corporation clients have been bestowing upon us so freely and unselfishly all these years.

City by the Throat.

"For fifteen years the traction company, wi^h Mr. Beasley as one of its chief attorneys, and with the red light as its political ally, had this city by the throat arid controlled it as criminally and corruptly as any city has ever been controlled by the brigands who looted it in all the history of the United States. "During all these years this fran-chise-grabbing, street-stealing, taxdodsring, union-smashing eastern corporation debauched the politics of the city, prostituted its courts, defied its laws and turned its private gunmen loose to rob and kill those who interfered with its criminal, operations. Not a policeman could "be appointed without its sanction and when it wanted a city street it simply had its puppets in public office make the transfer and issue the title. "The franchise record of the traction company is one of shameless fraud and downright robbery. That this fraud and robbery have had the sanction of the courts simply shows to what extent the courts themselves have been prostituted by this greedy and conscienceless corporation which, has absolutely no Interest In Haute beyond exploiting the city to the limit and milking the people to a finish. "When Mr. Beasley objects to the jitney driver on the ground that 'he is not necessarily required to be a citizen' one wonders at the low estimate he places on the Intelligence of his fellow-townsmen. Why does he not protest against his own clients for the same reason? Is it perchance because he shares liberally in the proceeds of the sale of his neighbors and townsmen to the rich men of the east? "John R. Lawson, the brave and incorruptible leader of the miners lr. Colorado, was sent to the penitentiary for life by a Rockefeller judge in a Rockefeller court upon the theory that as leader of the strike he wa« responsible for the murders and other crimes perpetrated during his leadership. If this same theory of law were applied .to Mr. Beasley's traction clients every one of them would serve life sentence in the state prison.

Plea to Organize.

"Mr. Beasley speaks with great confidence of the public utilities commission. I have no such confidence. Most commissions of that character are controlled by the corporations they are supposed to control. The jitney drivers and their friends, the common people, would better prepare to rely upon themselves in this fight. They have no reason to trust commissions or courts when an issue arises between themselves and powerful corporations. First of all let the Jitney drivers organize and stand together. The organized workers and the common people will back them. They know the traction company and they understand why this underhanded attempt is being made to strike down the Jitneys and give Mr. Beasley's corporation clients the absolute monopoly to pluck the people of Terre Haute. "I am for the Jitneys. "EUGENE V. DEBS. "Terre Haute, Ind."

dlESTHREE PRINCIPLE OF TRUE CHRISTIANITY

Rev. Charles H. Lees

oil

Gives Inter

esting Message in Sermon of "Message of Jesus."

Three fundamental principles of Christianity were pointed out by the Rev. Charles H. Leeson in his sermon Sunday. He took as his text, "The Message of Jesus." He said: "There are three fundamental principles of Christianity that underlie all modern progress—philanthropy, education and evangelism. These are not qualities of thb Christless nations. Every well-informed person must recognize these elements or onristian progress as vital parts of modern civilization. "Among the Christless nations there are no hospitals, orphanages, asylums, retreats, aim houses, except as they" have been founded by christian missionaries. In Indiana, public and private charities consume about two dollars per capita every year, money that is laid upon the altar or the good of humanity, in addition to our offerings to education and religion. Medical missionaries, like the Master, are a marvel of unselfishness, going about doing good.* "Nor is modern education less a gift of the christian religion than our charities. Jesus sent His followers forth 'to teach,' and ever since that day the church has been the evangel of science, literature, art, everything, in fact, that would do good to the body or the soul. "The special emphasis of Christianity, however, has always been evangelistic. Every christian organization is dominant with the one great evangelistic message. Jesus drew no color line. He found white souls beneath dark skins, and dark souls beneath fair countenances. He looked for 'the pearls' of humanity among all classes."
