Senator Reed, puolican, Pennsyl-

The administration spokesman def

their canoe by the strong wind and
rough water, jumped into the river to
go to their aid. Jenetsky and Flood
managed to reach the shore in safety,
but Franklin and Doillon, exhausted
from struggling against the waves,
sank before they could be reached by
two other Yale men who were padding

night and their parents notified of the

Washington, May 1S.-President
Coolidge will return to his Office to-
morrow. having almost recovered
from the bronchial cold which yes
terday and today kept him confined
to his room In the executive man
sion.
The two days Of almost complete
rest have enabled the president to
throw off the cold and except for a
slight weakness he is said to be fit
to return to work.
Mr.. Coolidge spent today as yes
terday, when he was compelled to
cancel his engagements, in his
room, reading and resting. The Sec
ond successive day of relative mac
ton made him restless, however, and
late today he sent q messenger over
to the executive offices with an in
quiry as to whether there was any
work that he could do. A batch of
letters, reports and a number OF
kilograms was sent over to him.
BY remaining indoors today Mr..
Coolidge broke a record of which he
was quite proud-a record OIL not
having missed attendance at church
a single Sunday since he came to
Washington to be sworn in as vice
president in March 1921. Mrs. Cool
idge also remained at home today.
A long list of engagements, some
of which were those cancelled yes
terday, faces the president tomor-
row. One of them, attendance at q
baseball game between the WASH
ington Americans and the Quantico
Marines for the benefit Of the
American olympic fund, probably
will be cancelled, especially If the
weather is bad as Mr.. Coolidge's
physician has advised him against
exposing himself until the last
trace of the bronchial infection
is dissipated.

Gutter and CRATER

That William Gibbs McAdoo is as gentle a
CRATER as ever stepped out of the pages of an
0. Henry novel, no person with normally
equipped mind will doubt for a moment after
reading the facts concerning his acceptance
of the Doheny quarter million dollSr retainer
on the strength of his connection with Wood
row Wilson, and his large fees from the no
torious swindler Morse in return for services
rendered
In addition to the generally accepted con-
viction that McAdoo hands are soiled with
graft, there now comes the additional charge
that Wilson's Son-in-law is coward and a
gutter in that he went back on his client when
the latter was in the greatest jeopardy of his
entire piratical career
Mr.. McAdoo, ''the political hero" of the
hysterical Wilsonians and reactionary labor
officials, who gathered in the Crystal Room of
the Great Northern Hotel to clear his reputa-
ton of the crude oil with which it was tar
nished, never quit the employment of Doheny
until he concluded that such employment
threatened to destroy his political career.
McAdoo knew that he was employed by
Doheny to ravish the mineral wealth of Mex
leo, not because of legal ability but solely be-
cause he could walk into the White House
fee urge his father-in-law to threaten Obre-
gon with war unless the demands of McAdoo's
client were complied with.
He stuck to the Doheny dough bag until it
was discovered that "the peerless leader of
progressive democracy was in danger of he
coming unavailable for the presidency. Then
he quit.
Doheny is pirate, a purchaser of cabi
nets, robber of public property McAdoc
was his accomplice, but McAdoo along with
being CRATER is a gutter.

only too willing gentleman to dis
arm some of the more militant peas
antry of the most militant state of
Vera Cruz, Sanchez would have had
a much harder time were it not for
that fact. Obregon did not under
stand the necessity of smashing the
reactionary state machinery and mil
itary machinery of former regimes.
He did not entirely see the need Of
tftuting tie Sr7ny on The b basis III;
of an armed peasantTy and prole-
tariat. But he partially saw these
things, and kept some popular units
intact by giving them land.
Thus the Cedillo brothers had an
agricultural community for their
former revolutionary troops in San
Luis Potosi SO that important state
remained in federal hands and kept
the northern railroads. In Morelos
the Zapatistas were settled and salts
fed. In Yucatan the Mayas were
kept content. Moreover, some Of the
least reliable elements of the army
were demobilized. The military acad-
envy was opened to workers and
peasants, and am personally ac-
quainted with laborite, agrarian and
Communist elements in training as
officers. When the rebellion broke
out, some workers regiments were
formed and armed and many more
regiments of peasants.
The professional army remained.
But Oregon gave preference to his
famous Yaqui Indians over other
troops-his personal division that
had "raised him on their shields"
hitherto an oppressed group. And
Oregon subsidized and fostered la
Dor movements and aided healthier
peasant movement.
So for once, military coup d'etat,
aided tho it was by every big land
holder in the country with men,
money and horses, and by the church
and foreign petty capitalists in the
country, did not succeed. This Gre
ates precedent, gives new conf
dence to popular elements, damages
the professional military and has re-
suited in the revolutionizing, in part
at least, of various state govern
ments and the setting up Of auxil-
larry non-professional popular armed
forces. But the latter must now go
back to work and leave to a profess
sional army the work Of ending the
guerilla warfare.
The crying need is permanent
system of part time military training
Of the workers and peasants. Will
Oregon have the revolutionary cour-
age to trust the aryed power Of the
state to their hands? Will his sue
cessor, General Gales? Will those
bankers who hold the mortgages on
Mexico permit it?

they draw up their annual financial statements
of profit and loss of their property. The life
of the miner doesn't matter an iota to the
profit-hungry capitalist. It's only the dollar
the CONCEALED sweat and blood of the miners
coined into fabulous dividends-that counts.
According to the Bureau of Mines only 800
of this heavy casualty list are accounted for
by unspecifed causes All the other losses of
lives were due to such causes as falls of roof
and coal, haulage accidents, gas and dust eX-
plosions etc. These can all be controlled to
a large extent by the installation of improved
safety devices and by providing better work
ing conditions. But such steps our coal mag
mates are not in any too great hurry to take.
Such steps might cut profits and reduce divi-
dends. Such measures would be considered
folly in the ethical code Of Big Business.
Alongside of the almighty dollar of the
capitalist, the life, the security of the worker
shrinks into nothingness. The thousands of
lives lost by the miners year in and year out,
these thousands of sacrifices on the altar of
profits, should Undue the working class with a
burning passion to wipe out the devastating,
hell-breeding system of capitalism.
