PERPLEXED
ANSWER-My only answer to you,
PerpleXed, can be a repetition of
your questions-why?-"why be I'M
happy and kept in dread by a nag
ging, fault-finding husband whom no
one could please? Why be threaten
ed, accused and kept in dread, etc?'
A home life such as you depict
yours to be is not only giving your
little son 'the wrong impressions of
life," but is poisonous atmosphere,
that can bring only unhapplness to
all concerned. After you have tried
to the best of your ability to talk
to your husband and he still fails to
see what an impossible companion
and father he has become and makes
no effort to be different, there is
only one course open to you, in my
opinion-separation If love still ex-
lists between you, despite his dis
agreeableness, a temporary separa-
ton might bring him to mis- senses.
In any case, living apart cannot be
half as bad as to live as you do now,
the prey to his indignities, before a
child who will in time lose all re-
spect for his mother.

DEMOCRATS URGED
TO TURN RADICAL
Leaders Advised to Swing
Further Away From Con.
servatiSm of G. O. P.

Although the question of personals
( ties is still dominant when Democra tic
leaders get together fer conference
on the political outlook. there is be-
ginning TO be more talk of what
should be the issues of the presiden'
tial campaign.
Having been defeated in the last
two campaigns with a liberal con
servative platform. the Democrats are
: being urged by various groups 10
: make a radical change. Instead OF
being so close to the conservatives
who are in control of the Republican
: marty. the Democrats are being told
that their only opportunity lies IN
becoming the direct antithesis Of their
noIitical onnonents. The idea is that the
RcnubIicans have iutrenched them
selves in New England and the At
lantic States, hut that radicaltSm IS
develoning west of the Alcghenies.
The congressional election Of 1926 did
not reveal any drift toward radical
ism. but some of the political scouts
saw conditions are changing in The
Middle West and that McNarN-
Haugenism is an example of how Tar
a radical program can get nowadays
Plenty of Radical Issues.
There are plenty of issues on which
. radical stand can he taken by the
Z Democrats and they will thereby WIN
the support of many inSurgent Ike
uuhlicans. 1t fact. when Congress
, meets next time the chances OF a
coalition between the Democrats and
the insurgent Republicans may be
said to be very bright indeed.
During the last session the Demo
Gratis stood their own ground as a
sort of mean between the Conserva-
tive Republicans and the insurgent
Republicans. This policy may be
scrapped next time, for while in the
Democratic ranks are some conserYa-
tive Democrats. there are radicals
on the other hand who are getting
ready to stir up the political pot in
December.
Broadly speaking, the sentiment
which the radicals believe they can
-crystallize on economic issues that
which might arise from a discussion
of the large mergers in business and
. the gross of economic power on the
part of large business institutions.
Money Trust" Days Recalled.
Here and there is heard discussion
similar to that of money trust"
days. Both Boulder Dam and Muscle
Shoals involve issues of Government
ownership as contrasted with private
ownership. The cry for lower freight
rates and possible amendment of the
transportation act is in the air again.
{ There is a good deal of criticism of
recent theories developed by the Fed
.eral courts with respect to physical
valuation of properties On top of
this is the all-important matter of
tax revision and the discomfort of
certain Western groups with the
Fordney-McCumber tariff law.
! The Democrats are talking about
aggressive leadership in the next
Congress which shall make the issues
Tor the presidential campaign, and
judging by the conversation of various
. Democratic leaders the situation is

rapidly developing symptoms OF an
campaign in which much
will be heard of 'the interests" and
the concentration of power in the
hands of the few" and the growth of
monopoly in new forms. The central
thought of the politicians who are ad.
vancing plea for radicalism is that
conservatism will never win for the
Democrats and that they must be de.
cidely different to corral the discon-
tent of the country and to appeal to
those who would like to see new deal
at Washington. ID. il.

START CHARITY

The Woman's club met Friday
afternoon in the Commercial cluo
rooms. The meeting was opened by
all singing 20 Washington" led
I by Mrs. L. M. Keene. Reports Of
the various committees were given
and it was voted to use part of
the proceeds from the rummage
sale to pay the clubs share on the
Benton county bed in the Seattle
orthopedic hospital. The committee
in charge of the sale reported that
there were often calls for clothing
and it was decided to start a COM
munity box for associated chari-
ties. A. F. Bown offered to fur
nish storage room and Mrs. l.. j.
Aldrich was appointed chairman Of
the committee to handle the work.
The people of the community are
asked to bring garments they can
no longer use to the telephone Of
fee and this committee will send
them where needed. Clothing in
good condition which can be used
or made over is always needed
and anything not suitable for that
can be made into quilts. Worn
trousers, coats, etc., are especially
good for the latter. The program,
in charge Of Mrs. Keene, was an
Introductory talk on China, the
country chosen to be studied this
winter.

SHORTEN ROAD TO
UPRIVER TOWNS
New Route Shorter, Eliminates
Three Bridges, Bad Curves
and Grades

The county has begun construc-
tion of the Vale cutoff road to the
upriver country this week. The
new road will be a trifle over four
miles in length and the grading
and gravelling will be done as
speedily as the construction crews
can accomplish it.
The new route to Hanford and
White Bluffs will utilize the pres.
ent good gravelled road from Rich
land north thru Vale, instead Of
following the main highway across
the Fallon and Grosscup bridges.
At Vale the new road will head
almost due west for four miles,
connecting up with the former
road just above the Horn.
In addition to shortening the
distance between the upriver
towns, the new route will elimi-
nate bad grades, narrow roadway,
some bad curves and the necessity
for crossing the three bridges
across the Yakima river. It is thoi
that the road con be opened foI
travel in about a month or six
weeks, unless bad weather impedes
the work.

MUST REGISTER
OVER AG AIN
Voters In and Out of City
Must Sign Books After
January 1 to Vote

Everyone who expects to vote
at the election next year will be
required to register anew after
January 1st whether he lives in
town or in the rural precincts. In
incorporated towns the city clerk
is the registration official while in
the outlying precincts the regis
tration officers are appointed by
the county commissioners. These
appointments will be made at the
regular meeting of the board in
January. New registration books
are on hand to be delivered to the
registration officers as soon as the
appointments are made.
While a registration officer is
provided for each precinct, author
ization is also given for the ap-
pointment of some one centrally
located to handle the registration
for several precincts. A plan is
under consideration for the ap-
pointment of a person in Richland
and Kennewick to handle the regis
tration for all of the precincts
tributary to those towns. The per-
son designated in Richland would
register the voters of Vale, Horn
Rapids and Lower Yakima. At
Kennewick, if this plan is adopted,
someone in town will handle the
registration for Kennewick Gar
dens, Highlands, South Kennewick,
Valley and possibly Horse Heaven.
1t is thought that this will prove
more convenient than the plan for
merly used as everyone is in town
frequently and can register while
there. The present plan often re-
quires the voter to go several miles
out of his way to register, often
making special trip for that pur-
pose. If the change is made it will
be for the purpose of making it
more convenient for the voter to
register and thus help secure a
more complete registration.
