Quaint the Presient with its OhN
of view on eonDomic and ponula
affairs. He told, the President, it
the honesty that everyone gives him
credit for, that he felt himself as ethat
as a brother to Mr. Hardlug and that
it was difficult to believe they could
be so far apart in their hensst ownlo
tions. But these convictions were
honest with each man and each was
entitled to cherish them. neither
privileged to rob the other of the
right of free expression.
He was hated, said Mr. Debs, and
he expected nothing more or less.
He had been, was being, and would
be defiled, and misrepresented before
the world and men would call him
vile names, not because men were
bad, but because men did not know
him or did not know what he knew,
or did not react to fears as he re
acted.
Agree In Opposing War.
Mr. Harding interrupted now and
again to tell Mr. Debs that he was
most mindful to suffering of human
beings, and that he beheved there
was a way being made toward a
world without war. He said frankly
that he was opposed to the idea of
war and that he would do all in his
power against it. On this point
there was no disagreement between
the two. Mr. Debe told the Presi
dent he knew he was opposed to the
idea of war and that he could not
conceive of a man who could espouse
war as a method of progress.
The President asked fully about
the health of his guest and he found
a man sixty-six years old with the
vigor of youth. Debs said he had
spent nearly three years with the
outcasts of the earth, the lowest of
men, convicts in a prison. He said
he- had faith in these men and that
he believed each of them possessed
rich possibilities under favorable cir
cumstances. He made no especial
appeal to the President on this point.
but he gave the Executive a picture
of men in prisons as he has seen
them.
Urges Love as-Tool of Progress.
President Harding made no re
quests of Debs. Deb* made none -of
Mr. Harding. No secrecy 'was he
ed upon the guest. He was as
as any man to speak the truth
as he saw it. He was told no ene
expected him to surrender any con
viction he might have. He said he
could not do so under any circum
stances, anyhow, and he detailed in
broad outline his conception of the
struggle that mankind must make
before justice has triumphed and be
fore humanity has been economically
emancipated. He urged love as the
tool of progress. He damned conflict
as sense.
Mr. De drew a picture of the work
ing class struggle as he sees it. He
spoke of injustices of chid-life among
the poor, of boys and girls who might
be great and noble men and women
but who were foreordained by the our
rent economic system to flower in
ignorance and die .in poverty. He
gave the President his gospel of
revolution against all of this.
Finally the President said to his
guest that he wished to convey to Mr.
Debe and to his wife in Terre Haute
the best greetings of himself and of
Mrs. Harding, and Mr. Debs replied
with an extension of his own best
greetings and those In behalf of his
wife to both the President and Mrs.
Harding.
Then he left the White House.

by Charles Broker, chief of police of
the Washington Terminal Railroad
Company, as he was making a fare
well talk to friends who had gathered
at Union Station last night to se
him off.
As Debs concluded his remarks, ez
pressing gratitude for his reception
here and reaffirming his opposition
to war, Broker, who had fought his
way through the crowd, confronted
him and said, "Don't you know this
sort of thing Isn't allowed here?"
Upon Debs reply In the negative
Broker said, "Tou have taken a great
liberty."
