HARDING,S REPLY.

Some days ago the Frecman-J ournal
called attention to the fact that Farley
u. Christensen. presidential candidate
Of the radicals, had asked Senator
Harding and Gov. Cox, Republican and
Democratic candidate respectively, to
join in a request to President Wilson
for the pardon Of Eugene V. Dcbs. who
is serving a sentence for violation of
the espionage act. The Freeman-Jo our
nal ventured the suggestion that Meth
er of the gentlemen would join in such
Il request, as men of their character
do not make such demands upon the
pardoning power without good and
sufficient reason, without having i'll

that the accused is either innocent or

or course Mr.. Christensen. being Il
radical and not caring for The Justice
or injustice accorded Mr.. Debs, can
play politics in such an important
matter. Whether Debs is guilty or in
noccnt doesn't bother him. He would
ask President Wilson TO pardon Dcbs
because Debs is a sOcialistic and not
because he is innocent But Senat tor
Harding has more respect for the law

Another source of the graveSt pub
lie concern has been the reactiOnary
tendency to substitute private will for
the public will Instead Of inquiring
what the law was and then rendering
it full obedience, there has been dis
position on the part of some individu

they liked the law, and if not, to dis
regard it, seek to override it. and pre-
vent its execution, sometimes by the
