Ownership.

Are you in favor of government ownership?
 Well" replied Senator Sorghum, I've been trying to make up my mind. Everything depends on whether business is run with intelligence and care, regardless of who owns it. And I've seen some men who thought they could take on all kinds of government responsibility that I wouldn't trust to run a peanut stand"

Unon Many Gases,

WASHIl EToN, April 12,-Recom-
mendation pf executive clemency for 81
persons convicted under the espionage
act have been sent to President Wilson
by Attorney General Palmer, but the
names and Communication in each case
will not be announced until the presi-
dent has acted. This is in line with
the policy of clemency inaugurated by
Thomas w. Gregory as attorney gen.

I'm this connection" said Attorney
General Palmer in an announcement,
II desire to call attention to the exag-
gerated figures which are being used
by persons agitating for what is called
a general amnesty to political prison
ers; SO exaggerated, In fact, that L can
not help suspecting the overstatement
to be deliberate.
when this investigation Of the es-
pionage act cases began about two
months ago a total number Of persons
confined In jails and penitentiaries for
violation of the espionage act was only
239. OF these, the sentences Of IS have
since expired and five have been pa
rolled, leaving 179 now in confinement.
In about 80 of these cases the SEN
l IciCeS nave hlTtiuy uetH CUIIlWu LCut
and l have now recommended commu-
tations in So more. These figures do
not include the l. w, W. group Of cases
in Chicago and California, which would
add 121 to the number. or these many,
however, recently have been released
on bail.
There are men in prison because
Of the expression OF their views on
social, economic or political questions,
including the war. Besides, the above
figures do not all represent men prose
cuted for what they said or published.
Many INSTRUCTED the draft In other
ways, as, for instance, by armed re-
sistance, by stirring up fraudulent
claims for exemption from military and
other methods. In fact, many Of them
violated the selective serN ice law as
well as the espionage law.
ut thus appears that current state
ments to the effect that there are 1900
political prisoners in the penitentiaries
and jails of the country are the result
of either frenzied imagination or de
liberate intent to deceive the public

Of the late President Porfirio Diaz, who
owned one of the largest estates in
