The Release OF Dcbs
THE DISPATCH
Est. 1859

TOR Eugene V. Debs, draft INSTRUCTOR and
traitor TO his flag In time OF its great
est peril freedom; for the American Lee
gion, for the mothers whose sons lie mold
ering in the sacred soil of France, for
every American citizen who followed the
nations colors in the Great War, slap in
the face; so has President Harding seen fit
to apportion his Christmas offerings In
this day OF Peace on earth, good will to-
ward men," he has lowered the prison bars
TO one who has deserved nothing at his
country's hands except gnominy and con-
tempt; and he has aroused in the breasts
Of thousands of men and women the smold
ering thought Was our sacrifice worth
while?" 1t is a dangerous thought, thought
iraught with peril.
And the reason for this exercise of pres
ldental clemency? There is and can be no
question OF Debs' disloyalty He was con-
vcted out of his own mouth. To this day
he has made no denial. no retraction, ex-
pressed no regret. SO far the public
knows, he is as disoyal In his heart to-
day he was when sentence was pro-
Eounced upon him. But the President has
been the object of a clamorous campaign in
his behalf The same storm for Debs' re-
lease beat in all its fury upon Woodrow
Wilson, but he resisted the onslaught be-
cause, he said, IF were TO release him
would not be able TO look in the face any
Of the thousands OF mothers who sacrificed
their sons in the Great War" That was
Mr.. Wilson'S view u thu 'appeal for Debs.
But Mr.. Harding sees. things differently
Possibly the difference in views is generated
in his opportunism. Ostensibly he believes
The ends OF justice have been met" but he
forgcts tho crosses, row on row" in Fland-
ers fields But is that the real reason?
No. The President feels that because Debs
had twice been the presidential nominee OF
million voters he should have special con-
sidcra'ion. Because he had been honorcd
as leader. and betrayed his trust his
:hacklcs must be striken from him Re-
cause his Influence was great and his dis
oE"iN thereby intensified and magnifed,
The President can see only that he has a
million supporters TO be appeased by his
release But how about the other millions
whose patriotism never has been questioned
In war or in peace? Is 1t possible the Presi.
dent deliberately overlooked the feelings ~
the hundred millions In his stroke for favor
with the one?
This supneness OF the President before q
group clamor is as surprising as il is disap
pointing For it is either supjncnnss n,

FABLES FOR FRESMES
BY LOIS RoBINETTE.

A huge, petrified, agatized log acts
as seminal in front of the college Of
fice.-
dreds of Missionaries have passed
by the stone-but all without the
vaguest idea as to whether a Kansas
tree had turned to stone there or
whether it was a meteor that had
chosen Washburn campus as its light
ing place, or whether it was just an
ordinary, common, everyday stone.
No marker, telling it's history or the
name of the donor has ever been af
fixed, or any recognition whatsoever
has ever been given it. But it really
has an interesting history and Wash
burn students should know it.
In 1917 Mrs. Myra Williams Jar
rell gave it to the college in comment
merly attended Washburn but who
was then in service in France.
Some thirty years ago Barney Lam
try of Strong City, who is identified
with early Kansas history, was build
ing the Santa Fe thru Arizona. On
the right-of-way he came across this
extra ordinary stone. Realizing its
value to curio-collectors,l he made a
gift of it to his old friend, Arch L.
williams, Mrs. JarrelPs father, whose
fad was curio collecting.
Williams was at that time general
attorney for the Union Pacific railway
and very prominent in Topeka as well
as state affairs.
The stone was placed on the lawn of
his home on Fillmore street. Older
Topekans will remember the Williams
home as the center of social activities
in the city for many years. Many's

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE pres

vealed today when it became known
that Sidi Writ Spreckels, herself
burdened with the sorrow of the re-
cent death of her husband. was the
only caller at the Wakefield sani-
tarium where Miss Rape fought her
battle with death and lost
Mrs. Spreckels became acquainted
with Miss Rape six years ago. On
Friday she received a telephone call
from the sanitarium asking her to
visit Miss Rape. She was unac-
quainted with Miss Rappe's illness
and, when she arrived, found her in
delirium. She learned no details of
the case, but endeavored to soothe the
fevered condition of her friend.
Because of his knowledge of her
acquaintance with his dead fiancee
Henry Lehman, New York motion
picture producer, on Saturday tele-
phoned Mrs. Spreckels. but she was
unable to give hiR1 further details.
Mrs. Spreckels's acquaintanceship
with the dead girl was limited. She
knew nothing of her family or her
engagement to Lehman until he tele-
phoned her.

The death coma stalked stealthiIy
