 " "Justihable'

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30. - A coroner's jury returned a verdict describing as justifiable act. Mrs. Hazel Hull's staying of Cor don Waters, 29-year-old attacker of her daughter.
 The verdict, returned by jury of eight men, found that Waters "came to his death from gun shot wound inflicted by Mrs. Hull. in defense of the honor of her young daughter and we feel her act was justifiable.s'
 The inquest was robbed of the significance of the verdict few minutes later when detectives from the District Attorneys office entered and served a subpoena upon Mrs. Hull ordering her ap- pearance before the Grand Jury.

the party down if it came to him
with the nomination on a silver
or even an aluminium platter. Senator
Fess quoted him as saying: 1T
won't work out that way. l won't
be nominated" In that statement
alone the implication that Coolidge
would accept is stronger over them
selves, paying tongue-in-cheek tribute
to what they contend was his mag
unanimous, positive, declaration that
he wouldn't accept reorganization.
They have said again ana again that
Coolidge was too honest a man to
go back on the country after such
declaration and that, In fact, no
man in his position could ever be
SO mean and low as to re-enter the
picture, no matter how strongly he
was beseeched to do So.
Coolidge is out of it," many very
prominent persons have been telling
their friends in the last three months
with great emphasis. They held that
he couldn't possibly regain a chance
at the nomination even though he
had expected his alpnouncement to
work to his political advantage.
Lately that, assertion hasn't been
made SO frequently or so empnatically
An uneasy suspicion seems to be
growing that it was little too
strong. Witness, the most recent
words of Borah most puissant of
senators, who a short time ago was
convinced that Coolidge was "out of
it." After he read Coolidge's Phila-
delphia speech certain DOUBTS which
must have been growing in his mind
in late weeks were intensified. Borah
is careful in public statements, but
even he admitted that any evidence
to the contrary. If ever a Coolidge
was wistful, it can we'll be imagined
that Calvin Coolidge spoke wistfully
when he said that to FeSs. Il won't
take it." may be hard for a man to
say in some cases, but not for man
who means it.
Certain low persons who would
almost prefer to see Chinese war
lord in the White House rather than
Coolidge have been telling all that
the speech had completely obscured"
the choose" statement.
The fact seems to be that Coolidge
today is a stronger candidate than
he was a week or month after the

the balance?

WASHINGTON-M Millions Of words
have been written concerning Presi-
dent Coolidge's choose" statement at
Rapid City and its implications.
Much of this mass of literature has
been mere twaddle.
This is as good a time as any to
bring the Coolidge situation up to
date. Politicians and the rest of
us reacted in several ways to that
announcement 1t should be pointed
out that there is no proof that the
president has taken living soul
into his confidence and that, such
being the case, probably no living soul
to this day can speak with definite
authority as to just what he meant.
But there is no law against trying
to reach a logical conclusion on the
basis of known facts even though,
for ulterior reasons, most commen-
tators have refused to do so.
Those who paid any attention to
the choose" statement at all may
be divided into these main classes:
1-Those who believed Coolidge
didn't want to be reelected and who
so resigned themselves.
2.-Those who believed Coolidge
didn't want to be reelected, but felt
he should be drafted.
3.-Those who believed Coolidge did
want to be reelected ana were glad
to help the good work along.
4.-Those who believed he wanted
to be reelected and who did every
thing possible to persuade the country
that he didn't in the hope that he
might be shamed out of it.
5.-Those who believed he desired
reelection, but he felt that his
statement had given the party leaders
an eagerly accepted opportunity to
ditch him.
There were few who knew Mr.
Coolidge who believed that he would
strongly object to another term.
There were n.any who believed that
he loathed the idea of having to
fight for it in the face of the opposi-
ton that faced him despite his
chances of success.
In other words, the oft-repeated
idea that Mr.. Coolidge cannot be
drafted is in all probability the
bunk insofar as Mr. Coolidge is

word to indicate that he would turn

81 am going to Vermont to .whittle," !"
President Coolidge.
I always was taught that to whittle
Was to wastefully squander ones
time
That one never could rise, in that
frittering wise
To heights that were high and
sublime.
The whittlers that lived in my village
From toll seemed eternally free
Yet my parents would say in a
Mortified way
They were not good examples for
me. $3.50, ~s.,~S - s.<As,e
If at Christmas I wanted jack knife
My fathers grave visage grew sad
"You will ruin your life," he OBJ
served, with knife,
Learn something that's useful, my
lad"
So he bought me saw and a saw
buck,
And instead of luxurious ease
In fashioning chips into models of
ships
I madg cords of fuel from trees.
I afterward worked for the grocer
Till the school days began in the
fall,
And when life I began as an earnest
young man
I had not learned to whittle at ALL
missed all those glad happy hours
When, with two bladed knife in
my hand,
I might have had time to begin the
long climb
To the loftiest place in the land.
Let this be a warning to parents
If lads ere they start forth in life
Are allowed to sit round on a keg
or the ground
And slither up sticks with a knife
They will soon be consumed with
ambition
While the chips fall about, here
and there @
And tomorrow, perhaps, all these
earnest souled chaps
Will have sat in a presidents chair.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
It matters little 1t dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where earth fires
glow,
Beautiful thoughts that purn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs Of
birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are they that do
Work that is earnest and brave and
true,
Moment by moment the long day
through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
on kindly ministry to and fro,
Down lowliest ways, if God wills
it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that
bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care,
With patience, grace, and daily
I prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness.
1 Whose hidden fountains but few may
guess.
Beautiful twilight at set of sun,
Beautiful goal with race well won,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful grave where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, wnere drifts
lie deep,
Over worn-out hands-oh beautiful
sleep.

FOR CHINESE WORKERS
Editor. Daily Worker:

would like to add my little mite
to assist the Chinese workers and
farmers in their struggle against the
imperialists that infest that great
land. Being a member of the Com
munist Party, have carefully studied
the history of the Russian revolution,
likewise all Of the imperialist move
ments that have taken place in the
last quarter century.
The Kaiser seeing that Russia was
to continue the war made it possible
for Lenin and all of the radicals to
return to Russia. They, of course,
were welcomed by the masses and
put forth the workers program, which
is summed up as follows: Immediate
peace, land to the peasants, industries
to the wage workers. This program
caused the army to leave the battle
field, whereupon Kerensky turned
what was left of his army on the Boil
sheviki Needless to say the Keren-
sky government was soon replaced
by the Bolsheviki, which in turn was
attacked by the Kaiser's army. This,
of course, met with the approval of
the allied powers as they hated a
workers government more than they
did the imperialism of the central
powers. As proof of this fact we no
ticed that the allies laid low on the
west front all the while the German
army invaded Bolshevik territory.
After the Kaiser forced the Bolshe-
Wiki to sign the treaty at Brest the
allies again began their attack on the
Kaiser's army. This continued until
the uprising of the German workers
led by Carl Liebknecht and Rosa
Gutenberg caused the Kaiser to alb
dictate. This brings US back to the
above mentioned Fritz Ebert, who did
not want to see the German masses
launch the workers. republic. So he
adopted the first plank of the Boil
sheyik program which was peace.
The situation in China is the same
as that of Germany on the day the
armistice was signed, and the rene
gade socialist was placed at the head
Of the government. The workers and
peasants of China must never lay
down their arms or listen to a peace
slogan until the last profit monger
is driven from their soil. The refusal
to lay down their arms will of course
give the foreign powers an excuse
for armed Intervention. In this
event, every class conscious worker
on the face of the earth must do all
in his or her power to block any at
tack coming from the imperialist
plunderbunds.
If they will not keep their hands
off China and Russia, they will give
the workers of other nations another
chance to get what the people of
Russia have. That is, a workers re-
public.

The MurderOus MachadO Government

der the direction of Crowder, con-
trives the crimes to be perpetrated
against workers and citizens of Cuba,
but these criminal schemes, such as
later result in such assassinations as
of Enrique Narona, organizer Of rail-
road workers or of Thomas Grant,
official of Railroad Brotherhood, are
given form and carried into execu-
ton by the so-called Minister Of
Justice" one DIR. Jesus Maria Barra-
que, a Cuban of Cataunian origin, a
reactionary of the blacklist type, one
who in other times would have made
a slave owner. Following this bril-
gand we face next the Secretary of
Public Order and the Secretary of
War and Marine, the first heading
the police and the second the army.
The first of these last two is Ro-
gerio ayas Bazen, an ignorant i'm
petuous individual but long time
supporter of Machado. And the
second one, the army commander, is
Rafael Ituralde, an imbecilic char
acterless person who is an easy tool
for the clique.
Aside from his cabinet, Machado
has to aid the legislative body, who
unquestioiiably approve all DEGREES
submitted by Machado. Should any
legislator dare to question in the
slightest any act of Machado, then
he is ruthlessly prosecuted and
threatened to be deprived of 1000 dol
lar monthly bride awarded to all
members of the legislature. This
money comes from the heavy reven-
ues derived from the Machado sane
toned lotteries and all forms Of
gambling.
General Machado, thus, with the
aid of these Legislators, issued de-
cree decree No. 1100), which prac-
tically abolishes civil rule, by handing
supreme power to the military
tribunals with whose dealings no
civil functionaries can interfere.
These military tribunals are respon-
sible for the execution Of numerous
workers in the sugar growing re-
gions, and at the present moment the

Enclosed is my contribution of $500
for the defense of The DAILY
WORKER. I shall not be called the
sentry who has slept at his post Of
duty.
We must do our utmost to support
our paper, The DAILY WORKER.
Without it we would be at a loss,
especially at this moment when the
reactionary forces are employing
every means of destroying the revolu-
tionary movement
It is our duty to support and up
hold the only English daily paper,
which fights for the interests of the
exploited masses.
