The Conference for Progressive Po-
litical Action was formed at Chicago
two years ago under call issued by
the 16 standard railroad labor organ
izations. It is a voluntary nOn-parti-
san political organization composed
of progressive farmers, wage workers
and liberal minded men and women.
It's goal is freedom and justice for
individuals and groups, industrially
and politically. "No party chains, no
dictator, no mossbacked traditions, no
CLIQUE can curb its activities" says
the convention call, and adds:
''The campaign of 1922 proved its
worth. Many intemperate political
imposters were swept out Of office
like chaff before the wind. The bal
ance of the task remains TO be COM
pleted in the 1924 campaign, when
the courts viii be purged and congress
filled with men Of courage and char
acter."

CHANGE POWER PLAN
OF CUSHMAN PLANT

Notice that the plans for the de-
velopment of the Lake Cushman
power project of the city of Tacoma
would be modified so as to provide
for the construction of two storage
dams and two power plants instead Of
one has been filed with Marvin Chase.
supervisor Of hydraulics, by ]. L.
Stannard, chief engineer of the pro-
ject.
The original plan was to construct
single power plant on Hoods Canal,
the water to be conveyed to it thru
a tunnel from the Lake Cushman dam.
Under the new arrangement a power
house is to be constructed just below
the dam in the North Fork of the
Skokomish river, operating under a
head of 275 feet and capable of de-
veloping $4,000 horsepower thru the
operation of two generators.
1t is estimated by Engineer Stan
nard that this development will care
for the needs of the city for a period
of six years. Tacoma is spending
$5, ,250,00O in expanding its municipal
power plant.
Construct Two Units.
The Cushman dam will be construct
ed as in the original plan and will be
275 feet high. The main dam will
be go feet wide at the bottom and
$50 feet on top with wing wall at
each end making a total length on
the crest of 800 feet. The impound-
ing basin will overflow 100000 acre
feet of water.

HUMANlZE OUR LAWS
ELECT FEDERAL JUDGES
BY Clarence Dill
Senator from Washington

Senator from Washington
A New Years resolution for
Labor and all progressive citizens
Of the country:
That the court shall be de
mocratized" and "humanized";
first, by providing for the direct
election of federal district judges;
second, by limiting the use Of
injunctions and controlling con-
tempt proceedings; third, by abol-
ishing 5-to4 decisions on the con-
stitutionality of laws.
When the whole people elect
men who make laws and those
who enforce the laws, they should
elect the men who tell what the
the laws mean. We have long
been electing state judges, and
the time has come to elect fed
eral judges also.
The arbitrary use of the in
functions and the abuse of power
in contempt proceedings takes
away the liberties of the people,
because individual judges act in
accordance with their own per-
sonal will instead of in compli-
ance with the laws of the land.
The 5-to-4 decision makes it
possible for a mere majority of
appointive officials to override the
combined will of the legislative
and executive branches of the
government, who are. all elected
by the people. It requires two
thirds of both Houses of Con-
gress to override the Executive.
It should require Z of the OF
the judicial branch to override
the legislative and executive
branches. The judiciary is the
last bulwark of special privilege
and must be made more amen
able to the will of the people.

Later when more power is needed,
a second dam will be constructed low
er down on the same river, using the
water discharged by the first gener-
ators at the dam, impounding it and
again running it through generators
and developing another $4,000 horse
power.
Tacoma's municipal owned plant
has been a great success, according
to reports, its citizens enjoy lower
rate for light and power than any
other city in the United States. AS
the estimated cost of the development
of the Wynooche project is much low
er in cost per horsepower than that
of Tacoma, there is no reason why
Aberdeen raes cannot at least be on
a par with those of the Puget Sound
city.

RAIL STRIKE ENDED
STRIKERS RELEASED

HARRISON, Ark, Jan. 4.-The
Missouri & North Arkansas railroad
strike, which started in February,
1921, has been officially declared off.
Two strikers have been released from
the state penitentiary, and nearly two
score indictments have been quashed.
The agreement was reached between
Frank Mullholland, attorney for the
shop men, and Prosecuting Attorney
Greenshaw and Circuit Judge Shinn.
The strike was marked by a series
of disorders and exhibitions of mob
government with no move on the part
of public officials to reestablish the
states authority. One of the strik-
ers was thrown off a railroad bridge
with a rope around his neck. His ter
rified widow was forced to leave the
county. Many strikers were also
forced to leave. Some of them were
fortunate to sell their homes.
Two strikers were arrested, charged
with bridge burning and sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary. They
that they were told they would
be lynched if they plead not guilty.
In all the long list of disorders that
were charged to the strikers, these two
were the only ones convicted.

PENSION BAN REMOVED

Secretary Of the Interior Work has
removed the ban on widows Of war
veterans receiving the pension that
the veteran drew. Under certain con-
ditiOns the pension can now be paid
70 the widow.

Question Guilt.

The relations between the mob and
certain railroad officials were but
partially concealed during the reign
of terror, but no objections were rails
ed by state officials.
A legislative committee investigat-
ed the lynching of one of the strikers,
but was unable to report anything
definite.
The strikers ask if Judge Shinn
would recommend the release Of the
two strikers convicted and if Govern
or McRae would release them if they
were found not guilty Of burning the
bridges.
While the strike has been declared
off and the men are returning to
work, the outrages against them are
remembered, and Governor McRae is
liable to hear echoes Of them in his
campaign for reelection.

YOUR CHILD'S FOOD
By II. Addington Bruce

-DITH BROWN, aged nine, had deyel-
II oped a singular fondness for bacon.
~ She insisted on having it for breakfast
every day, clamored for it at other meals
and even pestered the cook at ODD hours
for a snack of her fayorlte 1000.
Her parents, though puzzled to account
for her extreme liking for bacon am1ably
acquiesced in it. The fact that she was
willing to make-and at times did make
an entire meal Of bacon and toast and tea,
troubled them not at all. To house Ylsl-
tor who remarked that such diet was
not exactly nourishing to a growing child
Edith's indulgent mother made response:
ooh she gets plenty of other food in the
course of the day.
Actually, Edith did not get "p1enty of
other food" And the foods that meant
most for her nutrition she ate scarcely at
all, protesting that she did not like them
So she continued to revel in bacon until
at the age Of eleven, she caught cold
then epidemic among the children or the
school she attended.
She did not throw it off with the readi-
ness of most of the other children. In
her case it rapidly became transformed
from a mere cold to an extensive Infection
First her throat was severely affected, then
her ears were attacked. A serious opera
ton and long sojourn in hospital inter
vened between the catching Of the cold and
Edith's return to school.
In the hospital she was weaned from the
bacon diet. Frankly the attending phys-
clan told her parents that faulty feeding
had been chiefly responsible for their
daughters grave illness. Because she was
under-nourished her resistivity to the germ
invaders had been far below normal.
At fifteen Edith eats more sensibly, but
she still is quite evidently delicate. And,
sad to tell, she is only of host of
other girls-and boys-who have similarly
been rendered delicate by a foolish PAM
pering. of their food likes and disliles.
Overload of some dainty-in most eases,
a sweet food of some sort-they have been
permitted to eat it to the impairment of
their appetite for other foods Or, declar-
ing a prejudice against this or that essen
tial food-such as milk, or green vegetables
they have not been obliged to habituate
| themselves to eat what they do not want.
Truly it is a cruel kindness on the part
of any parent to allow child to develop
finicky appetite. Inevitably this lays
the foundation for future trouble, and
usually trouble of no light sort
Not only does failure to give a child a
we'll balanced diet result in Interfering with
chat childs mental and physical growth
and lower his or her resistance to disease
in general. 1t may have the effect of
directly subjecting the child to some one
of the so-called deficiency diseases, sinister
maladfes prevalent to an extent few people
suspect.
Their seriousness, in fact, is such that
some detailed account of them should be
given. But this I must reserve till an
other day, in continuance of the present
| discussion Of diet and health.

teachers obey the State-and the parent
must be mum or move away to avoid such
teachers. The parent must be compelled to
buy a half dozen books-maybe more at each
session-without the slightest attention to
the sort of books the State buys or the price
which is gouged out of the taxpayer-to pro-
vide free school books. 1t is pathetic to see
the number of little silly books that the little
tots are ordered to bring up, and not one has
been the parents selection.
Granting there are sorry fathers who are
not qualified to select books or teachers
there are great majority of parents who
are qualified. The child must get its lesson
at home nine times out of ten, or there is
no sort of progress, worth the mention at
school
I have been told of pupils who started at
six and are not finished at sixteen, maybe
nineteen. They simply "go to be going" as
it is free. There is plenty of outdoors at
home, but there must be much exercise be-
tween times at school and teacher.
They must acquire agriculture, when the
playground is as hard as "a brickyard"-so
athletics are really called on, and the agri-
cultural teacher (alias the athletic) gets
topping salary where peas wouldn't sprout
in the rain. Every possible holiday is exag-
gerated-none are left off. Then the teacher
takes vacation and the scholars rage UP
and down the streets, or go to the movies
or clamor for dime to spend downtown. II
the child labor law goes into effect, nc
parent can hire his grown-up 18year-old son
to do anythng-outside, and some 49,
year-old sons go out to begin life for them
selves-independent of parental restraint
Paternalism in government is overriding
family discipline at home. One more steI
is in prospect. The State has only to build
dormitories for lodging places, and infant
asylums for the babies, and the parents will
be relieved of their duty as to family govern
ment and maintenance of their children!

camels. We are saving at the spigot and
flowing at the bung. Nothing under the
shining sun is needful as paternal love

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

"THEN Abraham was the greatest man
w in the eastern country OF the known
world the Lord said of him: Il know
my servant Abraham that he will command
his children and his household after him and
they shall keep the way Of the Lord to do
justice and judgment"
The first query: Does not this commenda-
ton of Abraham emphasize the duty of
fathers to command obedience 10 it's head,
as the supreme ruler in the family? Is not
parents duty here set forth?
The second query: Does not the justice
and judgment which will therefore pertain
to the children and the household of Abra-
ham become a reward for their obedience
and blessing to Abraham along with the
blessing to his offspring?\
I here assert (and defy contradiction
that children owe obedience to their par
also to their offspring in giving them good
counsel and restraining them from evil
ways and sinful companions.
The trend of the times should give us Sc
rious consideration. The child labor bill
passed by congress before adjournment for
bids the employment of any child under the
age of IS, with penalty attached. Father
Abraham was given liberty to command"
his children and other members of his house
hold; to train these children and these infe-
riors in the ways of justice and judgment,
and Abraham was accorded the manifest
right to command" as the head of his
household, ordained of God and approved by
Abraham's experience and success.
So much for Abraham and the Lords di-
rection to him as a father and commander
of his entire household
Now, let us get down to what belongs to
1924. This country demands that the father
shall send his child to school at six years of
age. If he disregards the States order, he
must pay cash fine Or go to Jail. The
that
school to teacher it approves-not the
parents choice. From the appointed hour
of assembling to the selected hour of turn
ing out, the parents must hands off," These

CHAPTER VI
4 Now LEADING Woman

TT was Mannings custom to talk over a
| picture with TempIeton before casting it.
Rolf was exalted enough to choose his
own leading woman, and during the CONVEX
sation that took place between Templeton
and Manning with regard t. the casting of
the new picture, stranger Souls" the two
men had an argument as to who should play
lead.
mot Cleo Clavering," burst out Rolf.
"Shes beginning to have too much of an
opinion of herself. She doesn't keep her
place, she forgets that she hasn't been made
star as yet" His egregious conceit made
him buster, and during the silence that fol-
lowed, Rolf who had been walking up and
down his dressing room, suddenly had an
dea.\ 1t was probably born of something
that had lain in his subconscious mind for
some time and after it had occurred to him a
little smile lowered around his rather selfish
mouth.
What an idea! Absurd. of course, but
after, all, why not? In sense il he put it
through she would be at the mercy of his
whims, she would recognize her inferiorty
and she would be abjectly grateful to him for
giving her a chance. Besides it would give
the rest chance to talk it would be anus
ing for him to sit back and listen to the
comments around the colony. The more he
thought about it the more it appealed to him
as a great piece of comedy, something to
amuse him, and he grinned as he suggested
it TO Manning
Manning was thoughtful. How do you
know she can handle it?'' he said finally He
was used to Templeton's vhims and this one
he put down to Rolls desire TO carry the en-
tire picture.
I'VE can try her out, and substitute some
one else if she's no good" Rolf returned
easily after all, she's a serious-rpinded lit
tie thing, and there's one thing sure. she
won't mind keeping in the background. 1t
will be a relief to work with some one who
doesn't look as if she would like 10 tear nv
eyes out when I keep her in the background
of big scene"
Rolf was in rare good humor. The more
he thought about it, the mere he liked the
idea. and Manning looking al him, wondered
if anything could ever shake the mans inor-
dinate vanity. Would he always be as pop
ular as he was now, and if not how would he
bear it if through the tickle liking of the
public he some time disappeared from the
limelight?
Manning shrugged his shoulders as he gave
assent. After all, its up to you" he said

rT HERE is no stronger testimony to the
fitness of John W Davis to bear aloft
the standard of Democracy than that
from the man who led the party's conven-
ton fight Of liberal against reactionary
forces William G.. McAdoo says of the nom
ifee, 81 am satisfied that he is in full ac-
cord with the progressive program outlined
in the Democratic platform I am confident
that as President he will faithfully execute
the partys progressive mandate" rromis-
ing his cordial and active support to the
ticket, Mr.. McAdoo adds: "The influence and
power of these progressive forces must not
be dissipated by division between various po-
litical movements; they must rather be con-
solidated and used like an irresistible batter
ing ram of that party which offers the best
fundamentally of service to the people,"
That this Is the sentiment of the rank
and file of forward-thinking Democrats
throughout America, and of a great host Of
Independents as we'll, is not for moment
than satisfy the reason, he also stirs the
imagination of the friends of free and just
government. He is every inch Liberal.
His first utterance upon his nomination re-
veals both the heart and the mind of the
man. There can be no compromise with
reaction" he declared. Liberal principles
must and will prevail" How vigorous and
deep-rooted is his Democracy he showed in
his extempore statement of the partys prin-
ciples: Honesty in government, that pub
lie office is public trust, equal rights to all
men and special privilege to none, fair and
equable taxation, an open door of opportu
nifty to the humblest citizen in all the land
liberty at home, and courage and honor and
helpfulness abroad. These principles are
dear to the heart of the East and the West
and revered by the North and the South"
Leading in this spirit, Mr.. Davis will in
spire enthusiasm throughout the ranks OF
liberal America, and will prove worthy OF
the mantle OF Woodrow Wilson, whose high
est confidence he enjoyed and whose char
acter he strikingly resembles. Great days
are ahead, great both in opportunity and in
obligation for the Democratic hosts Let the
march be unitedly forward, never wavering
honor to Victory and service.

finally, "and as you say, if we find she can't
swing it, we can substitute some one else
later oS,s
And so it happened that through Rolf Tenn
pleton, the man Gloria despised for his in
sincerity and hated for his general attitude
toward life, she was given her first big
chance
When Manning sent for her and asked
her if she would like to try the lead in
stranger Souls" she answered with her
usual composure, although for just moment
her heart leaped up in her breast She
composed, too when Manning offered her
$200.a week, and she made no demur when
she read her contract and that it was
merely for the duration of the picture She
smiled when she read the clause that gave
the director the right to substitute some one
else if for any reason he found Miss King
inadequate for the part. Everything was as
it should be, and she had right to expect
more. After all, she was nobody at all. there
was no one backing her, and she had only
her determination to help her get what she
wanted. But che wondered afterward what
had possessed Rolf Templeton to give her
this chance, just as she had wondered when
he had sent her that invitation. She knew
that he was back of that offer from Manning
and she could not quite understand his mo-
tive. 1t seemed strange. almost uncanny.
