Farm Bloc Indicated ‘As chairman of the finance com- mittee ‘Senator McCumber will be re-| sponsible for the tariff bill, which the; adminigtration is very anxious to have passadeat an early date, The switch from rose to MdCumber probably will'result in the agrarian bloc getting just what it desires in the way of in- creased agricultural tariffs. While Penrose had made many promises to the farm senators, he also did much to hold down their dentands. | McCumber is in full sympathy With “helping the farmer,” and likely will go the full length desired by the bloc. Except for the agficultural sched- uleg, the change from Penrose to Mc- Cumber probably will not make much difference in the duties. However, the farm organizaticn protest on the | question of American valuation pro- | visions of the Ford1ey bill may be| more effective now.

Debs, Socialist leader, was granted his freedom from Atlanta penitentiary on Christmas by President Harding sole- y as an act of grace; his violation of thé: war ‘laws-remain unforgiven by «ie government. This has been dis- closed by Attorney General Daugh- of his dent in recommendations to the pres the Debs case. ¢ “It will be observed,” Mr, Daugh- erty said, “that a pardon was not granted’ Debs, but that his sentence was commuted. The action of the president in no wise condones, the vitense and the relief was solely an act of grace. The gratitude of Debs ‘willbe measured by his conduct in the future.” . The administration theory of ac- tiow in the Debs case, according to Mr. Daugherty, is to be considered as the government policy in relation to others imprisoned for violation of the war laws, of which class of offenders “probably no better case could be se- jected,” he declared, than that of Debs. In reaching his decision regarding Debs, the attorney general reviewed the history of the case, quoting copi- ously from the speech delivered by Debs, before the Socialist convention at Canton, 0., in 1918, pointing out that this was the second time, Debs has “set up his theories of government AT THE WHITE ‘AN ACT OF GRACE Allen, John, against the government itself,’ refer- ing to the so-called Pullman strike in 1894. ‘ Daugherty Fears Example. | In considering the matter, Mr. Daugherty stated he had given Debs ‘the privilege of discussing his case| with the attorney general person-| ally because of his position as a lead-' er in his line of thought, “with the de- sire to give the subject, which affects many others as well, the fairest pos-) sible consideration.” ni dealing with pardon cases, he continued, the object to be accom- plished by imprisonment, the protec: tion of society, must be taken into account and where a reasonable pun- ishment necessary for an example to | Kelsch, |Crum,, Thorstein Hyland and P.
