The Democratic party got r.quarely on its feet again in the elections held throughout the country Tuesday and two years from now will deliver whatever the wallop It gave the Republicans two days ago lacked of being a solar plexus blow. Think of It: In 1920 President Harding was swept into office by a majority of seven million votes and carried with mm ;*uo power a vongress overwhelmingly in sympathy wlt.i him in both branches, and now, with less m than half of his term expired, the 85 5 country turns and almost rende to pieces his party. Such a complete B reversul in public sentiment in so short a time is something now in the politics of this country and showy that the people are demandi'^^-perI 8 formance and not proriilse. This morning control -t)'f the next house oi represeM^t^ves wus iu doubt, the bes? m tt?. atepubl leans can hope for being a m.- majority of less than 20 as against their present majority of 165. Not only. In the house ofrepresentative? have the Democrats made notable gains, but they have materially added to their scnule membership by electing their candidates in Ne\s York, New Jersey, Delaware, Marylaud, West Virginia, Michigan, ludiuna, and perhaps- m North Dakota v and Wusliington- The only Democratic senators Seeking reelection whose defeat has Leett conceded aja * 1 o anyone In Ohio und Hitchcock in iNcbruska. In Massachusetts tub Democrats lacked less than O.uuo votes of defeating lxidge in a total vole ot upproxiiuuiely one million. - ^ {Senator Keed ot Missouri was easily reelected and will continue to oe a tliorn iu the flesh ot the nepuim cuns uh ne nas urru biucb uv >ho| mo-came u member of tji-i senate 1years ugu.

Deinocrut.c governors were elected in New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio, Washington Oregon, Nebraska, Tennessee, Oklahoma und in other States which the Republicans had claimed. Of tin. ^ many good things which came out 01 Tuesday's elections three of the best , _ were.the defeat ot' Beveridge in Indi1 ana, Towusend in .Nfichigan and 1' re ? linghuyseu in New Jersey, all Republican candidates for the senate The cup of joy for Southern Democrpto would have been full to over ?- '' flowing had Lodge been beaten in l.

The * tunnel will be bored through James peak, Colorado. Last spring the Col; orado Legislature authorized the issuance of 6 million dollars worth oi bends to cover the cost of drilling the hole. A commission was named andv an engineer employed and all through the coming winter steel and "&. dynamite will eat their way through the Immense masses of rock. When * the tunnel Is completed, Bait Lake City will .be six hours nearer to Denver. One hundred and twenty-thre? miles of the present dlstanco between the two cities will be cut off Which shows how thp present route -of the railroads twist and zigzag and corkscrew and loop the loop. in the effort to surmount the barrier of the Continental Divide.

HELLO! With clamp on her head like a cage for her hair, She sits all day on a stiff little chair And she answers the calls that came over the wire, From people of patience and pcuplt or ire; And "Number?" she queries of noble or churl? A wonderful voice has the telephone girl? She has to be pleasunt and hustliug s und keen, With a temper unruffled and evei serene. There are forty-five thiug.. she must think of at once. Or sutncwrtc, impatient, will call her a dunce. k Since it seems u general custom to hurl The blumc for your grouch on the telephone girl. It's wearisome work on the nerves and the train. Continual hurry, continual strain, And of course she gets tired?a ; other folks do? And needs to be thoughtfully trcuted by you; So think of her doing her best 'mid the whirl, And try to be white to the telephone girl. ?From the "Three Partners.''
