...idea that an old man must be freed simply because he is such is not sufficient to set this disturbing man at large. The supposition that Debs cannot do more harm at large, than he can in Atlanta is patently ridiculous...
...names of men in the highest ranks of public and private life. For an expectant reading-public there are graphic accounts of untold wealth secured by graft, of prosperous men off to prison, via the hastily called Grand Juries.

In these days of highly developed machinery, it is inconceivable that ample production cannot be had on an eight-hour basis. At the present time, at least, it is hypocritical to ask laborers to work longer hours and produce more with hundreds and thousands of men out of work...
