few men had with former President

influence was brought to bear upon
Mr. Taft as will be the case with
President Harding. but that influence

The people evidently have great

ever entered office with such an over

possible for President Harding to "go

Harding will seek it. If, however, in
his willingness to hear he gives too

level popularity accorded that of

THE RETURN OF DEBS.

Debs is back in his prison cell after
having been allowed to go from At
lanta to Washington. unattended by
a guard to see President Harding
concerning his case. There was not
the slightest doubt but that he would
return. He is an elderly man to say
the least He possesses ideals, much
as one may denounce them as mis-
taken. There is, great deal about
his private life that shows a gener-
Gus heart--a great humanity. Such
a man would not think of jeopardiz-
ing all. were he physically fitted to
do so, as by making an attempt to
escape which would undoubtedly be
frustrated.
All this is written without in any
way countenancing the acts for which
Debs was convicted. A famous edi-
torial writer has been quoted as say
ing il was because Debs believed diff
ferently from the majority that he
was convicted. :, Such is not the case.
He was convicted because he advo-
Gated something that would endanger
our country and all the people in it
including himself-unless. in fact. he
were to be honored' by the conquer
ing enemy because of his, advocacy
of non-resistance to them or nom
participation in the war which would
have reached to this country had
Germany been victorious.
Without approving the action taken
in allowing Debs to go to Washington
unguarded. be it said. that there are
other prisoners in the Atlanta Federal
Prison who would have made the trip
and returned just as he did. They
may have their ideals and their code
of honor quite as thoroughly i'm
planted in their hearts as is that of
Debs. But they would not be al
lowed to make such trip alone They
are more humble persons. In this
sense 1t was an injustice to allow
Debs to go as he did. But the trip
is over and the significance of it re-
mains for speculation.
If Eugene Debs convinced the au-
thorities at Washington that he has
had change of heart. perhaps he
has been punished sufficiently. The
allowing him to take the trip as he
did indicates a leaning toward that
belief on the part of the President.
1t is quite possible that. former Pres
ident Wilson having refused a par
don. those who advise President Hard
ing. may see in the pardoning of Debs
wise political move. One would
hesitate a long time before attribut-
ing such a motive to the President.
Nevertheless the prediction is made
that Debs will be pardoned. His guilt
Is certain. The sufficiency of his
punishment must remain a matter of
opinion And@none but those in his
confidence may know how safe or
unsafe it would be to allow him his
| liberty now.
