Casaniano was convicted OF carry

Capt. FiaschettI obliged him.
Salvatore Varotta knelt on the floor
OF his home before him imploring him
in the names OF all the saints and his
own father and mother to say more.
Rufruelc only shook his head.
Similar appeals had been made dur
ing the early morning hours by VAR
otta 1T Police Headquarters to the
| other prisoners. They sneerod at tho
father or pretended not to hear him.
Sometimes Capt Fiaschotti and his
men had to restrain Varotta from
springing at their throats.

been guarding the stolen little boy.

Christmas Pardon for Debs

The Christmas pardon for Eugene " Debs,
nounced yesterday by President Harding will not meet
with unanimous approval 1t is TO be commended
act of mercy rather than act of justice If the
president has made mistake it is upon the side Of
a mistake to make at the Christmas season.
More perhaps than any other man. Eugene Debs is
a typical American socialist. Farther back than the
great railroad strike of 1894 he active in political
conspiracy that gave him full qualification as criminal
and traitor and that would have earned for him
capital punishment in another country.
Theoretically least Eugene Debs has always been
opposed to the government to which owes loyalty and
obedience, and his Influence has been eScred not to
make good Americans, but stir up disorder and to
promote false standards and ideals.
The fact that he has signay failed mpish the
things he undertook proof of the sounness of the body
of American citizenship and it is also a proof that there
is IN Eugene Debs himself too much of American o
permit the full fruition of his unAmcrican theories.
HIS opposition TO the policies of the American
government consistent with his other activities
There question bis guilt the justice of his
temporary condition that longer exists and while
his awlessncss should be condoned there is question
whether it is justice continue punishment after the
need of the law has passed.
Under the ordinary conditions Of peace men like
Debs and men like him dangerous They arc
not dangerous because they themselves Americans
tho they freak Americans, and they are not
dangerous because the great majority of Americans have
too much intelligence aud good sense to be dcluled and
mislcd by such leaders
