OI)R TO A KNOCKER -There
was a man in this old town,
A dozen eai ago, or lesB,
Who thought all knowledge still un.
found,
Except that which he did possess.
He was against proRiehBlM-nc-s,
In business, church and hcIiooI and
State;
With high tax rales he w.is obessed.
And fought the lle onec, morn
till late.
In spite of him things movd along,
Our town and country grew apace,
He finally found he didn't belong.
In such a live progreEic' piace.
He sold his store, his hoube and lot,
And no one shed u Dingle tvr,
And moved away, whcie we know
not.
He was foi gotten in a car.

TO HE. OH NOT TO HE
Eugene Debs, the great socialist
leader h,is been allowed to go from
Atlanta penitentiary to Washington
to confci wllh Attorney (lotieral
Daugherty with loforeme to his par
don. Ml. Debs was uii.tctompinied
by an offirei and ik soon .is his
business was finished in Washington
lie returned to the pilson at Atlanta,
Ills attorney gae out an iiit.ni view
to the press after Air. Dibs return
and stated ho was satisfied his client
would bo p.ndoned, ,iml that Ml.
Debs did not retain or apologise
for the language used upon which
be was convicted.
It Mr. Debs Is paidoned h Presi
dent, Harding under such conditions
then he could Just as well pardon
every German bomb throwing nn-
.archlst In this country, lie lould
lust as easily paidon those who tiied
to sink our ships loaded with Ameri
can soldiers by placing time bombs
In the Bhips itals. One is no more
an enemy of our government than
la the other.
Should Debs be paidoned then the
Ark should be sent back to Russia
to bring back to our hospitable shores
the two hundred and fifty nnarch
iita who were exiled from this coun
try, among whom were Alexander
Berkman and Emma Goldman. They
are no worse enemies of this Govern
Bient than is Eugene Debs.
The sacrifices made by the Ameri
can people to win the war is of too
recent date for them to forget or to
forgive one who tried in eveiy way
to make those sacrifices unavailing.
The pardon of Debs would be enough
to make our dead heroes in Fiance
turn In their graves.
The penitentiary is the safest place
that there is to keep men of Debs
class, if we would preserve our coun
try from the festeiing sore of a
ovlet government.
