REPENTANCE FIRST

Following fast upon the recent re-
ports that Eugene v. Debs soon is
to be released from prison comes the
announcement that his friends have
caused to be printed and are plan
ming to distribute in great, numbers
from socialist headquarters in Chi
cagc a. pamphlet containing the
speech the delivery Of which at Can
ton, O., caused his arrest and SEN
fencing to Atlanta.
This merely emphasizes the fact
that Debs never has expressed any
regret for his efforts to interfere
with his country's conduct of the war
never has given ever the shadow
Of promise that he wouiu not re-
peat his actions if war should come
again. On the contrary, he boldly
and proudly confesses that his opin-
ions are unchanged.
Nobody has any fierce desire to
have Debs serve his full sentence,
and nobody will think the country
endangered when he is set free, but
there is no question that his offense
was a serious one, and there is some
thing unreasonable ard offensive in
forgiveness that precedes repentance.
A pardon granted under such condi-
tions impugns the justice of punish
ment already inflicted and condemns
the, court that imposed the sentence.
At liberty, Debs will resume the
preaching of sedition, and his admir-
ers will glorify him as a martyr and
hero. He is neither, but naturally
amiable man who has go.le far astray
in his opinions and aspirations. His
doctrines, if carried into action, would
turn the United States into another
Russia, and Debs and his friends
would call that progress.

Industrial life in Valley City is
picking up after the depression! The
local grist-mill formerly operated by
the bennett Milling Co. has again
resumed operations under the eltl-
cient management Of Frank Schaefer.
Cheer up, prosperity is Just around

Old Mr.. Meine seems to have a
warm spot in his heart for Valley.
He was with us once more last Sum

number Of daring citizens lined up
for this "doliar-a-miriute" joy-ride,

only one who really received his bap-
tism into aerial thrills. The heavy
going and the shortness Of the field
prevented clean getaway and How

Examination of the official records
of congress, for the session which ad'
journed November %, until Dec. S
noon, reveals the fact that Repre-
sentative C. L knight of Akron dur
ing the first session of his congress
sional career made one Of the most
extraordinary records for absentee
ism to be found in the annals Of con
gress.
Representative Knights record Of
attendance during the special session
which was continuously at work from
April IL to August "a, inclusive, anG
from September 81 to November 23
inclusive, may be summarized as fol.
lows:
Of total of 119 official roll calls
in the house on Legislative matters
knight was recorded as absent anc
not voting on 81, or about 81 per-
cent.
The quorum calls are not includ-
ed in the above computation, During
the session there were 73 quorum
calls and Knight was absent on As
of them, or about 60 percent.
Many days Of a session go by with
out roll call or a quorum call so
that no accurate computation can
be made Of the actual number of
days on which any member absents
himself. A more significant COM
parison, however, can be drawn from
the following:
Or total Of 68 days, the house
voted upon important bills pending
before it. The records show that
Knight was absent during "A of these
days while the house was legislating
and that he was present during only
"a legislative days. This means that
the fourteenth district congressman
was absent, and not voting or about
65 per cent, of the legislative days of
the house when important bills were
being voted upon.
Up until July 1, the records show
that knight attended majority of
the sessions being present on II out
OF 80 days between April II and July
l, when the house was voting orr leg
islative matters.
The records show that from. July
l to the adjournment to the special
session November %, the house legis-
lated on pending measures total of
3S days. Knight was present and
voting on only seven days out Of this
total.
August, October and November
were Knights bad months. In Aug
ust the house voted on pensding bills
on thirteen days, knight being pres
ent on three Of these days. In tOcto-
ber, the house legislated on eight
days and Knight was present and
voting on two days. In November
the house voted on pendinp bills on

The federal reserve bark of New
York city has sent out notices to all
its member banks asking that they
report the rate of interest they are
charging feeble, belated effort to
prevent profteering on rediscount
paper. This effort would be far
more commendable were it not for
the fact that the main institution
made profit of 1913 per cent. on its
capital last year, which is some
profit as even a Medina banker will
admit.

According to a noted U. S. Sena-
tor over million people were thank
full this Thanksgiving because con-
gress had adjourned-after passing
a tax bill which pleases no one and
generally and properly condemned
by the American people"-thankful
also, and hopeful, because there is an
election in 1922, at which an entirely
new house of representatives and
thirty-two new senator's may be
chosen.

Now that Senator Burke of Elyria
has definitely cast his hat into the
ring for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton next year, we do hope that Rep
resentative C. L. knight of Akron
will also announce his candidacy in a
more definite tone. Medina county,
lying midway between the stamping
ground of these two polished orators,
could be sure of plenty of political
harangue.

CARPENTERS HAVE
 FINE ENTERTAINMENT
Local 7o Eats, Drinks, and Is Merry
 at Smoker Monday Night.

About 500 members of Carpenters Union, Local 70, and their friends gathered in Hermann's Sons Hall on Monday night and enjoyed one of the liveliest and best smokers and enter tainments held hereabouts in long time Even though some of the boys" on the boxing program did object to using less than eight ounce gloves and eight ounces had to be provided, when they did get together there was some lively milling No body was hurt, however, and in fact some of the antics in the ring gave the crowd much more in merriment line than in actual hsticuffs.
 Three bouts were run off, the first being between Young Butler and Ed Murray, two gladiators from the Webster street district They had much brotherly love for each other and did everything to show it. Young Willy and Young Kaufman, two rangy lads from The Hill district, put up a rattling three rounds, while Young Goldie, former amateur cham pion, and Fly. Semac put the finishing touches to the real action on the bill.
 During an intermission, hot dogs, birch beer, sandwiches and smokes were served after which the Rialto quartet, ventriloquist and a car toonist afforded some first class en- tertainment Following the set pro- gram the quartet entertained while those who cared to finger put away the remainder of the good things to eat and drink provided

R. R. CARMEN ELECT
 OFFICERS; PREPARE
 FOR CONTROVERSY
Barzee Chosen to Head Board Which Will Take Up Negotiations
 Over Shop Rule Changes.

The New Haven Local of the Brother hood of Railroad Carmen held its annual meeting and election of officers in Trades Council hall on Wednesday night, more than 500 being present and taking part in bal1oting The meeting was presided over by International Vice President Daniel J. Collins of Kansas City and the election resulted as follows:
 President, Patrick Denphy; vice pres ident John J. Moran; treasurer, Patrick Cummings; financial secretary, Timothy Cummings, recording secretary, Walter Hogan; trustees Patrick Higgins, Will liam Enright and J. w. Carey.
 The election of the Local Protection Board, was perhaps the. most important of the evening as 1t is this board that will have to do with the negotiations between the men and the company in the expected in rules governing the shop crafts fol- ion. The chairmanship of this board also carries with it the representation on the general protective board for the en- tire system and to this office Edward F. Barzee was chosen. MT. Barzee has been active in Labor circles for g years, not only among the carmen, but also the fire mems division of the B. R. T., with the Brewery Workers some years back and in other active organization lines. He is now representative of the Carmen to the Trades Council and a member of the board of trustees and the organization committee of the central body The other members of the board chosen were Michael ConnorS, vice chairman, and John Tierney. -=-..---- -.... .--
 No action was taken at the meeting this week on the proposed changes in working conditions and rules, for the very good reason that except for what has been published in the public press, the shop crafts have received no official notification of what they may be up against. The railroad companies are al- ready planning to put the rules into ef- feet as of December 1, as presumably provided in the Labor Boards findings and to that end were to hold meeting in New York this week to arrange their plans. Aside from statements that con- ferences with the employees would soon be asked no information has come from this meeting either, so. the men simply passed over the matter until something dehnate arises.
