VIOLATED LAWS
Repeatedly TO
AvENCE WRONGS
Death Ends Career Of Kentuckian
who Waged Bitter Feud
Against u. s. Government.

Louisville, KY, March IA
strange feud with the government
that had lasted many years was
ended here recently by the death
of Peter Bitter, the chief factor in
this unique drama OF life. Bitter
was arrested on an average OF
every .152nd day OF his life of II
years. He openly violated the law
to ayenge a fancied wrong by the
United States government almost
half a century ago, and not for the
profit there was in it, according to
his friends. 1t is said that, on the
contrary, Bitter persisted in his
illegal acts although they were
slowly depicting his small fortune,
and that while arrested nearly 175
times for violating the prohibition
law, he was always a total aD-
stainer.
When a young contractor just
starting out in life, he was secur-
ity for another contractor on a
piece of government work in the
Louisville harbor. A food on the
Ohio river swept away the work,
so the story goes, and Bitter was
held to his bond. This was said
to have ruined him financially.
Legal battles over the case for
many years ended only in disap-
pointment for Peter and he is said
never to have become reconciled
to the justice OF the governments
action.
Sent TO Pen.
Bitzer's first effort to retaliate
came when he attempted to evade
the tax on oleomargerine. For
this offense he served a year in
prison. When national prohibit
ton came into being, Bitter repeat
eddy violated the law, it is alleged.
He was arrested more than IT'S
times, frequently convicted, but
generally escaping with fine. He,
however, served several short
prison sentences, but always in
cells which he had fitted with mod
ern conveniences.
His meals were brought into the
prison to him.
Despite the many conflicts he
had with the police, Bitter is said
to have never become angered at
them. The last time his property
was raided, several months ago, and
large stock of whisky seized,
Peter is quoted as having called
come back again, boys" as the
officers departed.
Following his litigation with the
government, he is said to have pre-
ferred cash transactions always and
seldom issued a check, although
his business was voluminous a.
times.

CAN'T STAMPEDE HARDING

Some clever propagandists organized 9 'Fchildren' $ crusade" for the purpose of in clucing President Harding to grant a general pardon to men convicted of interfering with the prosecution of the war The children, of
 course, had nothing to do with it, except as they were directed by the managers who fl nanced the trip, prepared the banners and staged all the proceedings. Knowing, that the ''crusade'' was wholly the work of agitators who had no direct interest in the prisoners but which to establish the principle of free dom to oppose the government in time of war.
 President Harding refused to receive the crowd. Extreme radicals in all parts of the country are now endeavoring to create pre- iudice against Mr. Harding by declaring that he refused to receive the petitions of chlI- dren for the pardon of their parents. The fact is that the President announced his willing ness and intention to continue the considera- tion of each petition for executive clemency, deciding each case on it's merits. But he is too level headed to be stampeded by crafty propa- gandists and has too keen sense of justice and duty under the law to permit carefully planned demonstration to determine his course of action. Instead of putting the President in an embarrassing position before the country, the propogandsts have merely given him one more opportunity to prove his fitness for the high office he occupies. By refusing to Sbe brow-beaten, Mr. Harding has won the con fidence of the country in an increased degree.

Senate committee. Whether this plan will be approved by the President remains to be de- veoped after conferences. Alternative plans are suggested, and perhaps there will be mod ificatons resulting in a satisfactory comprom- ise, President Harding has frequently said that he would not approve of bonus legisla- tion which did not provide means of raising the required revenue.
 The appropriations in behalf of former ser vice men have been made by Congress without thought of partisanship. Just as all partisans fought in the war without drawing political lines, so Congress draws no lines when pro viding for the nations defenders. It would be pity to see bonus legislation injected into the forthcoming campaign as political bone of contention. If bonus bill should be enacted,
 it will be by the votes of all parties.
