There is a got'd deal of non-

to the case of LLi and his im-
prisonment It is claimed he Is a political!
prisoner He Is not There I?
no such thing in the United Stat-
es Debs Is-In prison for tho same
reason his fellow convicts are In
prison — for breaking the law
I He is not there on account of
‘his opinions He Is there for
what he did
Twelve men carefully chosen
found him guilty after a fair
trial In which he had every op-
portunity to defend hlm-elf
At the close of the trial he
said “I haven't one word of com-
plaint either against the verdict
or the trial The evidence was
truthful it was fairly presented
by the prosecution the jury was
'patient and attentive and the
Judge’s charge wa3 masterly and
j scrupulously fair”
I He said he went to prison for
an ideal Judge Westeuhaver in
sentencing him said: “I do not
regard the idealism of the de-
fendant as expressed by himself
any higher any purer or any
( nobler than the idealism of the
( thousands of young men I have
seen marching down the streets
of Cleveland to defend the laws
(of their country and the flag
Any one who strikes the sword
from the hand of those young
‘men or causes another young
' man to refuse to do his duty
when called to serve by their
side or any one who obstructs
jthe recruitng service does just
as much injury to the country
as if he were a soldier in the
ranks of the German army”
Deb’s case was appealed to
the supreme court There Judge
Holmes pointed out that Debs
was not sentenced “because he
was opposed to all wars in gen
agreement of the Oklahoma Cotton
Association
' "Mr Sapiro tells us” says Mr
Stealey “that the fact that we havs their product
with spinners covering a period of cral but because he obstructec
years knowing that they can deliver recruiting service in this war
on those contracts By being in pos- This being contrary to law he
itlon to do this they will naturally be was a lawbreaker and it was for
able to get the best possible price for that and not any belief that he
is now in the penitentiary
Debs is ncc a rebel against any
tyrant such a3 king czar or

will of the majority of hi3 fellow

OKLAHOMA CITY -(Special)- No
outside Interest controls or dictates to
the Oklahoma Cotton Growers Asso-

by George Bishop of Cordell associate
editor Oklahoma Farmer and member
of the Organization Committee of the
Association
“Only Oklahoma cotton farmers can
be embers” says Mr Bishop “Only
Oklahoma cotton farmers who are
members can have anything to say
about the management of the Asso-
ciation The Oklahoma Cotton Grow-
ers Association is not a branch or off-
shoot of any other body It is complete
within itself and is absolutely inde-
pendent of outside interest or control
y“As other state cotton marketing
associations are formed the Oklahoma
organization will of course co-operate
with them to such extent as may
be mutually profitable in pooling our
cotton combining selling overhead
when opportunity occurs etc Far-
ther than this the Association will not
go in joining hands with other organizations”
