We hope the lesson here taught as to what workingmen can accomplish by the power of united effort is not lost upon the working class. The first letter of the President was an insult to labor, and had labor submitted, the President’s contempt for it would have been intensified by its cravenness. The second letter was a virtual apology and nothing less than the firm attitude of labor extorted it. The President’s position, however, is not less enviable than before. Since he seeks escape from castigation for his outrageous attack upon Moyer and Haywood upon the ground that Debs had used “treasonable and murderous language” and that it was his duty as President to denounce it, a few questions will be in order and when the President has answered these we have a few more to which answers are also desired. Did the President ever hear of one Sherman Bell? Is it not a fact that said Sherman Bell is a personal friend of the President and that in a letter written in the President’s own hand he commends said Sherman Bell in the most exalted terms? Has the President ever heard of the expression, “To hell with habeas corpus; we’ll give ’em postmortems,” commended as “patriotic” by the capitalist press at the time it was made? Does not the President know that it was his highly esteemed personal friend, Sherman Bell, who coined this phrase? Is it “treasonable and murderous”? Did the President condemn it? Will he do so now? Would he have done so if it had been Debs instead of Bell? Why does he “conceive it to be his duty” to condemn Debs and not Bell? Because Bell stands for capital and Debs for labor? Has Debs ever said anything that, with reference to treason and murder, can be compared to this expression of his boon companion, Sherman Bell? Will the President please answer? Again, has the President ever heard of one Lieut. T. E. McClelland? And of the expression, “To hell with the constitution,” made by said McClelland? Is this treasonable language? Did the President condemn it? Or, is it patriotic language when used in defense of capital and treasonable only when used in defense of labor? Does the President know one Adjutant General Bulkeley Wells, the “officer of the law” who forcibly seized Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone and “special-trained” them to Idaho? Does he know that his labor commissioner, Carroll D. Wright, condemns said Bulkeley Wells as a “mob leader” in his official report of the Colorado troubles? Does the President approve mobs? And consort with mob leaders? While denouncing mobs? Has he denounced Bulkeley Wells? Will he do so? Is the President aware that the Mine and Smelter Trust, behind the prosecution of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone, bought the legislature of Colorado outright, thereby defeating an eight-hour measure which a popular majority of more than 46,000 votes had commanded said legislature to enact into law? And that those mine and smelter owners are among his personal friends?
