Title	Shipley, Maynard 1921-10-17
Abstract	Letter to Theodore Debs, 10/17/1921. Writes that he appreciated Theodore Debs's last letter with the message from Eugene V. Debs in it. Says that he is glad that his words to Eugene V. Debs brought him some comfort. Remarks that a part of his spirit dwells in the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia with Eugene V. Debs. Says that it saddens him to think that no great social or political advance has come without the ruling class first demonstrating its unsuitability to rule. Tells Theodore Debs that it is like Karl Marx says, the ruling class digs its own grave. Remarks that for every day Eugene V. Debs is in prison another grave dug for the ruling class. Says that the ruling class is composed of nothing but fools and morons if its members think that keeping Eugene V. Debs's body in prison will make him any less dangerous to them. Writes that even with Eugene V. Debs in prison that his soul is free. Assures Theodore Debs that nothing is teaching the masses about the class struggle more than the imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs. Tells Theodore Debs that America's agitators should be happy with what Harry Daugherty and Warren Harding are doing for the ruling class's own demise. Says that he is glad that the pain experienced by so many comrades has been an activating force for progress.
