TODD FOR CONGRESS

Hugh Todd, Democratic eandi-
dale Tor Congress, First District,
Is now in his third week of Wig
orous campaigning. He has met
with an enthusiastic reception
wherever he has spoken, and il is
evident that people of this district
are friendly TO the idea Of sending
to Congress "A young and emerge
tie man to represent this young
and growing city and community.
Mr. Todd is an able orator. as
well as a close student of public
problems. His fearless stand on
national issues, together with his
ability and energy. will be of great
value 10 this district aud TO the
entite state, In his speech deliver
ed before the Seattle League Of
Women Voters Wednesday, he
said:
II stand absolutely for the pro-
gram and policies of Governor Al
fred E. Smith. His fight for the
preservation of the water power
for the people of New York and
his pledge t. preserve the people 5
rights III the national field of wa
Ter power stamps him as a friend
Of the people and the progressive
cause. His pledge of immediate ac-
ton for the relief of the farmers
stamps him as a candidate alive to
the needs Of a great class of the
producers Of the nation. His de-
mand for immediate modification
Of the Volstead Act is in the inter
est of temperance and respect for
law and the rights of the people.
His stand for tolerance in govern
ment establishes him as champ
ion Of our constitution and the
fundamental principles of our
republic.
In this first congressional dis

Herbert Hoover was born on an

California, which, even with the

10000 souls. While his economies
are conservative and would not

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XVI

It was QlnlCulL TOT oyoll III tile months that stretched ahead. Mrs. Thorne devoted most of her time to quiet and systematic weeping. She sst in her dead husbands chair. his hittie hassock beneath her feet and the balsam pillow he had liked at her back, and there was something more piteous about her than there ever had been before.
 "I suppose its dreadful thing to say" confessed sybil to Tad, but honestly, I think mother gets pos five kick out of being sad. There she is-simpE crying herself sick and enjoying every minute of it
 ,"Why, Tad, she doesn't want to he happy. She's made up her mind that she's going to be miserable and that's all there is to 1t. Any thing else she regards as positive heresy. The other night tried to dras her out to the theater and. Imx dear. you'd think I'd absolute lx tnsulted her!" ........
 "poor ma" Tad looked very com- ,passionate. "I wiah there was some- ching we could do"
 'Get her to % to . psycho-ana- lyst," suggested Valerie. "IH be! M. Brandon would do her . world of ssod."
 "Psycho-analyst!" Tad hooted disdainfully. "Psycho my-grand- mether!"
 That's right" sulked Valerie "Nake fun of everything say What do you know about psycho analysis, Tad Thcrne? MT. Gran don's done marvels for lots Of peo' pte, and know he could heil Mother Thorne, but just because '' happened to be my idea"
 i,~Now Val" Ted was always con cjliasory with his touchy little wire ..Don't % fyinE on the handle. 1' yeu- know anything about this here msycho stun. 70 ahead and spring ft. Any idea you can sell Ma, to ease Asr out of that rocker ,and persuade

remarked Tad one evening.
 That's what psyche does for people," Valerie told him.
 Mrs. Thorne was Hitting through the downstairs rooms with a basket of flowers, arranging them in low bowls and standing off to admire the lovely effect of pink roses Haunted by blue candles, and tall yellow lilies preenins proudly to the mirror at their back.
 She moved with a curious, de- tached sort of grace. utterly foreign to the crushed and broken creature who had wandered in desolation about the lonely house. There was sort of subdued sublimity about her that caused her children to re- 'joice and wonder.
 You certainly had the right dope, Val" approved Tad. Moth er's a new woman since Brandon took her in hand. The old boys there"
 "All she needed was a new i'm terest in life," declared Sybil, ''and Mir. Brandon supplied the need"
 Its pity" snapped Valerie. 'ff that was all there was to it. you couldn't have done the supplying yourself, Sybil! Just because it was my idea"
 why Val, think 1t was won derful ideal"
 sybil surveyed her recalcitrant sister-in-law humorously. Good Lord" she said. you've a chip on your shoulder! Do you pop off at Tad every time he opens his mouth? Or do I get the brunt of your ladyship's ire?"
 Valerie was very pretty when she was angry. Her soft skin flushed and paled like an exquisite rose when soft tints blend in perfect har- mony. And her blue eyes flashed dangerously beautiful. Now she rumpled her yellow curls in charac- terisically angry fashion. And her slim shoulders in their little rose sweater drew together ominously. Tad knew all the danger signs
 There. there, Nal," he counseled. Easy. old girl"
 T hate you." she shrilled at him. Don't you talk to me like that. And you, Sybil Thorne! Finding fault with me all the time. you two. I won't stand for 1t, tell you. I guess I don't have to. And I won't-so there. I won't."
 She flung angrily from the room, slamming the door after her. Mrs. Thorne laid her basket Of roses on the hall table and crossed the draw ing room to her son.
 "Nalerie's so upset these days" she murmured. i've wondered-" She stopped nervously and glanced tremulously at Sybil.

 "Lordy. yes!" Sybil put her arm pdacatingly about Valerie's shoul- ders. Do try to interest her, Val. It might. as you say. do her world of good"
 A few days later Valerie drove her mother-in-law to Mir. Crandon's office on Commonwealth avenue. He was a dark. rather oily little man. with we'll greased manners and hard, bright eyes. who took her hand and held it softly. and prom ised to help her with all that trou- bled her.
 He talked of repressions and such which he promised to release and divert. And bad compleXes to be sublimated.
 He asked her the most absurd questions. Which, for instance she had preferred, her father or her mother And if she remembered her baptism. Then he sent Valerie from the room and asked her exceedingly personal questions about love and marriage. Mrs. Thorne blushed for the first time in 30 years and found herself enjoying the sensation.
 Then he began to interrogate her about her dreams. They sounded quite harmless to Mrs. Thorne as she recounted them. But 10 MT. Brandon they savored practically of indecency. He scribbled con. stantly as she talked. murmuring from time to time. Bad. Very bad."'
 My goodness!' she quavered mis- erably, II can't see as there's any thing bad about that
 She had, at the moment, been dis cussing a most trivial little dream Michael, the gardener. was mixed up in it. There was something about radishes and roses. Mrs. Thorne wasn't quite clear about it herself. She wanted Michael to pick the roses, but he had insisted upon pick ing the radishes instead. And there they were on the dining room table. looking as silly as you please, with their long stems sticking foolishly up in the air, and their little red heads buried in pewter bowl.
 Michael and the radishes, it seem- cd, bore a terrible significance. Then there was that dream about Valerie falling down stairs-she'd had II three times already. MT. Brandon said that Mrs. Thorne wanted val erie to die, so that she might have Tad all to herself again.
 Mrs. Thorne gave mortified gasp. and turning quite pale, got up, as If to leave the room. But MT. Brandon said that it was not at all wicked. Moreover. he insisted, it was quite natural and normal. So. Mrs. Thorne sat down again, a bit reluctantly while he explained how the uncon- scious was like that. Finally he told Mrs. Thorne she had a sex complex.
 Most people have. you know he informed her reassuringly.
 But, MT. Crandon!" she expos tulated. At my age!'
 Age, my dear madam" he told her suavely, "has nothing at all te do with it. Your age. as matter of fact, is a specially dangerous time for women.'
 He hitched his chair a little closer and laid one hand confidlng' lv on Mrs. Thorne's. As he talked Mrs. Thorne experienced warm deep glow.
 "You must cast your buydens up on me-" he instructed her firmly All your griefs and perpleHitles

The New Power Testimony

In order that the essential may be separated from
the non-esesntial it is necessary to read analytcay
the testimony that the Federal Trade Commission
developing in the renewal of its power investigation
1t is brought forth, for example, that William
Allen White received money for making lecture
before the National Electric Light Association. Also
that Bruce Barton and Lord, Thomas & Logan re-
ceved money for services in preparing material for
the same association.
Those facts however, should not be confused with
the textbook revelations.
There nothing ilegitmate about William Allen
White addressing a meeting of the National Electric
Light Association Neither is there anything nlegiti-
mate in the National Electric Light Association
poyng talent to prepare its side of public contro-
versy, to present the merits Of electricity as a
household or industrial commodity
1t is Legitimate however, for the power people,
the in the textbook revelations, to sneak
into the public schools under the guise of textbook
matter, that which actually is special pleading for
side of public controversy.
So far its contentious are branded as such,
signed by the National Electric Light Association or
any other power organization, there is no deception
Neither is there any objection to the power people
sending forth lecturers their representatives or
employing lecturers from the outside to address their
conventions, so long as the actions are frank and
above board.
But for the power people secretly to employ COL
lege professors to make speeches on public utility
questions not as representatives of the public
utilities. but representatives of the schools or col
leges-that is deception.
In other words, public utilities have just as much
right to present their side of the case as have the
advocates of government ownership.
But they have moral right although perhaps
such action is not Illegal, to masquerade as some
thing that they are not

In the Wrong Pew

Herbert Hoover whom this newspaper is supporting
Or the presidency, has greater handicap to carry
than those churchmen who forget the traditional
separation of church and state in this free country.
Dr. Hugh K. Walker, moderator of the general
sembly of the Presbyterian church, just has issued
prenunciamento in the official organ of the church, in
which he says is the plain duty of every churchma
to work and pray and vote for Herbert Hoover"
"In the name of God will set up banners,
declared the good doctor Let us baptze afresh our
7hristian Endeavor motto, For Christ and Our
Church and defeat Alfred E. Smith"
Many good men have been moderator of the Pres
byterian church. Few in modern times have attained
more distinction perhaps than Dr. Henry Van Dyke
of Dr. Walkers call to the members of the church.
Van Dyke says:
"ThS is astounding attitude. May humble
Presbyterian who himself has held the honorable
Office OF moderator in that church. be permitted to ask
politely by what right authority Dr. Walker
this Temporal dominion in the United States?"
The question which DR.. Van Dyke asks Dr. Walker
is timely and important.
