A 1908 tribute to American socialist leader Eugene V. Debs

."...... we can know more of and better understand "Debs at Home," for now he is tireless and literally a wandering agitator, an apostle of truth, an awakener of the dead in spirit.

What would humanity be without such men, produced from their longings and aspirations? When you see him, give bini the best love of your heart; inspire and encourage him for yet better efforts in your behalf. His life is of yours, ye toilers ; his heart, his brain, his body, his soul are aflame with truth in your cause. Go the journey with him for your own sake. He is bone and marrow, flesh and blood of and for you. You will not soon see his like again. There are everywhere now, in all countries of the world, other great comrades, but nature will not soon conspire again to produce another Debs. "

. Stephen Marion Reynolds.

Terre Haute, Indiana, July 28, 1908.
