American Imperialism Finds
Coolidge Incompetent
By WILLIAM F. DUNE.

TAL, the one time cautious one, has
quit.
Forgetting that his only hope was
to continue the role of the "strong
and silent man." Cal essayed to play
the cowboy clown before the aston
ished gaze of the whole world in or
der to appeal to farmers, wipe out
the memory of his veto of farm re-
lief and convince the agricultural
population that he was one of them.
A SPECTACLE which has exposed
"A the small soul of Coolidge and
given concrete proof of his belief that
farmers are persons of microscopic
mentality, cannot be called pitiful
since it has made one ti-Coolidge
vote grow where only one grew be-
fore, but it is certainly no compli-
ment to millions of Americans, many
workers and farmers among them,
that Coolidge has been able to get
by as long as he has.
But the glamor wore thin when it
encountered the cold facts of i'm
perialist politics -foreign and domes-
tic.
IN the field of international politics
the collapse of the Geneva confer
ence has dealt a severe blow to Cool
idge prestige. The failure of the con-
ference to reach an agreement with
Great Britain agreement with Japan
was of secondary Importance is not
of itself the most damaging aspect Of
this maneuver. The blow to Coolidge
prestige is in the fact that American
diplomacy at the conference was not
able definitely to place the blame on
Great Britain for the inability to
agree.
AMERICAN Imperialism appeared in
"a the role of aggressor at Geneva
and this has served to disillusion
thousands of persons who hitherto
had fallen for the bunk relative to
the peaceful intentions of America. j"
The hostile reception which the fake
farmer relief bill, made public by ex-
Governor McKelvie of Nebraska in
the name of the Coolidge administra-
ton, met with in the agricultural dis
tricts, and which Coolidge was forced
to repudiate publicly, has been an
other blow from which the Coolidge
boom was too feeble to recover
These two major defeats in two
important phases of government
policy have been of such disastrous

Chairman Industrial Commission

Chairman InuuSCfiaI Commission
The supreme court of Arizona re-
Gently affirmed an award of the
industrial commission in which com.
pensation was denied to a widow
for the death Of her husband as the
result Of q stroke of lightning. There
has been some criticism of the dc.
cisicn and this article is written to
explain the circumstances under which
compensation may be granted for ar,
injury or death due to- lightning.
+ The nv that compensation was
refused inR1ilis case does not mean
that compensation will be refused
in all cases where the death is due
to lightning.
The writer Of an editorial appear.
ing in a recent issue of a weekly
paper stated that if one is killed
by lightning, earthquakes, cyclones,
tornadoes or floods, while in the line
Of work or duty, he does not under
stand why compensation should not
be paid The reason why compen-
sation is not payable in many cases
where a workman is killed, while
doing mis-. work, by lightning, eart:;-
quake, cyclone, tornado, flood, danger
Gus animals, insect bites, personal
assaults attacks by hostile forces, etc.,
is because the injury or accident did
not arise out CT the employment.
While the Arizona compensation law
provides compensation for most in
juries occurring to employees in the
line of their duty, it does not cover
every injury SO occurring. The Arizona
compensation law, like other COM,
pensation laws, requires that the In
jury or accident arise out Of the en-
ploynert as well as occur in the
course of the same. In; consequence
compensation must be denied in 4
small percentage of the cases, even
though the injury or accident occurs
in the course of the employment,
unless it also arises cut of the en-
ployment.

our supreme court, to arise out of
