AGITAToRs HATE WORK

Clamors for the freeing OF political

fruit, though probably not in the way
the ardent ADVOCATES OF such a policy
desired. President Harding's act in
committing the sentences OF eight
members OF the J.. w. w. to expire at
once on condition that they leave the
country and never return is clemency
with a strong string attached. Posi-
bly, those granted this freedom may
prefer II to remaining In prison, but
we imagine they are disappointed that
they are not permitted to stay here
and shine as martyrs to the cause OF
attempting TO subvert the government.

may find conditions in some other
