foreign countries have turned loose
all prisoners OF that type. Many think
that as q mere courtesy to nearly
100000 voters their candidate should
have freedom.
A high official in the Government
gave me a technical explanation of
/ the refusal to restore Debs to free
dom. He said psrdons are not
granted except on application and
Debs will not apply.
That will not hold water. I happen
tc know OF another case where a man
steadfastly refused to apply for a
pardon and has been turned loose
nevertheless.
The most extraordinary thing about
this case Is that a pardon was refused
by the President after the Attorney
General had recommended IL The
general practice is for the President
to grant all pardons recommended by
the Department Of Justic.. and some
, that are not recommended.
WILSON'S EXPLANATION.
A blunt refusal. without explana-
tion. to pardon when pardon is recon-
mended by the department., is prob
ably without precedent.
The President himself has given
privately an explanation. He has said
he would never pardon a man whose
stand had interfered with the protec-
tion given to our boys abroad.
That excuse for punishment of mi
nority opinion will be recognized as
an old friend. 1t prevailed in all
wars.
1t would not be an astonishing rea-
son in the mouths of many, who have
always rushed to II as the basis for
oppression, but 1t is a most amazing
state of mind to exist, twenty-seven
months after victory. in the Presi-
dent who. in 1914, pleaded for one
spot on the earth free from war

D. c. MARKET
Senate Gets Favorable Report
on Bill Already Passed
BY House.

The purchase and operation OF
Center Market is provided for In a
bill reported to the Senate today by
the Senate District Committee.
The measure is the johnson bill
which passed the House May "a OF
this year and has been pending in
the Senate since that time. 1t is
the outgrowth of the District prof
iteering investigation in 1919, when
the Washington Market Company
was under criticism.
U. o. MAY RUN 1T.
Under the terms OF the bill the
Government Is authorized to condemn
and purchase the property OF the
Washington Market Company. which
10 now operating under a ninety-nine-
ysar lease granted in 1870.
Center Market. after it's purchase
by the Government. shall be operated
by the Secretary of Agriculture. 1t
is probable. according to members OF
the District committee. that the
market will be removed from it's pres
'ent location and placed at point
nearer to the railroad terminal.
The President is authorized to ap
point q commission of three men. not
more than one OF whom shall be
resident of the District of Columbia,
to make the appraisal and condemna-
tion of the property OF the Washing
ton Market Company.
OWNERS ARE WILLING.
Early action on the measure IL
hoped for So that the change in own
ership can be effected at an early
date. II is understood that the pres
ent owners Of the company are anxi-
Gus to sell out because of the Con-
gressional attacks made upon them.
Provision is made in the measure
for the operation of the market along
its present lines until a new site is
, determined upon.

Commissioners were favoring. and
which l favored-the increased use
of local police power for cleaning
the movies.
1.-THE main portion of the telegram
Tan argument against censorship
was wholly irrelevant to what l was
proposing. namely, specific police reg
ulations to shut out films that. are
always improper, such as pictures Of
childbirth, indecent dances in harems
disrobing women in bedrooms and
bathrooms. half nude women parading
among ogling men at beaches and de-
tails of robberies. So far from the
telegram representing quarrel with
me, l had q long friendly, co-opera-
tive letter from Mr.. Hampton the
| very morning after the hearing.
"It was particularly unfair to omit
my criticism of the resolution of
| Colonel Harper, in which 1 more than

| when l quoted against his statement
| that regulations which now exist are
sufficient" the statement Of the Com
missioners, in the call for the hear
| ing, that they had been authorized
| by Congress to make regulations for
motion pictures. but had not yet done
so. Indeed, the purpose of the hear
| ing in the main seems to be not to
ask whether there shall be such reg
| ulations, for the Commissioners say
! they are needed to cut out some very
Objectionable films, but rather to take
| counsel as to what the regulations
authorized should be-"
FOSTER SCORES BLUE LAWS.
| Charles c. Foster. superintendent
of the District jail. workhouse and
reformatory and former newspaper
man, in a letter to the Commits
sioners, has this to say on censor
| ship:
| Film censorship suggests the idea
of blue laws. Blue laws suggest
the stocks. Blue laws breed dis
content, develop mental depression
Depression in humanity leads to
those things not normal. Blue laws
mean darkness. The world needs
more sunlight
"In my humble opinion censorship
Is needless"
Says b. ]. Boudren, manager OF
the central branch of the Hamilton
Savings Bank:
I'm my frank opinion, I consider
any departure from the present
method of preparing films for pub
lie exhibition an unjustihable and
arbitrary act and an infringement
on the individual tastes of the
public, who, after all. constitute the
| true tribunal of the genuine censor
| ship; and an unwarranted usurpa-
! tion of power that deprives US OF
our constitutional privileges"

NAVAL SUPREMACY
AIMING At THREE

Experts Feel Navy Under,

Be Developed.
BY DAVID M. CHURCH,
Interna tional News Service.

The three-plane navy-the navy on
the sea, below the surface and In
the airs going to be the navy of
the future.
This Is the very decided impress
sion that remains after the first of
the aerial bombing tests which the
navy is conducting off the Virginia
Capes.
Official reports on the bombing will
not be completed for some time yet.
These reports must be digested by
the navy general board. When the
general board has taken the reports
under careful advisement and mas
considered them in connection with
reports of other tests and develop
ments by other nations, recommen-
dations will be made for the future
naval policy of the United States.

Despite the tact that no official In.
dication has yet been given as to the
thoughts running through the minds
Of the members of the general board,
It Is a very safe prediction that the
three-plane Navy Is going to be the
Navy of the future. This prediction is
based on the comment OF the officers

conclusions of the general board

BILLIONS OF MOSQUITOES

STAFFORD. Del. July 16.-This
county has been raided by billions OF
mosquitoes. which have been driven
from the swamp districts and are now
making life miserable in many towns
throughout Sussex county. A pair OF
mules hitched TO a new wagon ran
away because of the mosquitoes
swarming on them. One of the mules
broke it's leg and the wagon ~es de-
molished.

chickens being driven desperate by the
pests, and quiet could not be obtained

quitoes had been drawn from the
houses by lamps and lanterns.
