THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 4, 1922.
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

votes of defeating lxidge in a total
vole ot upproxiiuuiely one million.

, A six mile tunhel is to be bored
through the Continental Divtdq, thai
12,000 to 20,000 foot ridge of the
Kocky 'Mountains which is America *
eternally snow-clad backbone. 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. With one tunnel
in operation, competing railroads
will construct others and travelers
will, presently become Inured to six

Not long ago the Insurance
ftidviser of the Associated Industries
pointed out that the fire waste in
he United States last year amounted
vo the gigantic sum of 485 -million
dollars, and there was no general
conflagration, at that. The per capita
ioss in this country is while in
Great Britain it is only 60 cents, in

this condition concerns only tho in urace
. companies It concerns the
.iiprchant, the banker, the manufact-'
-.rer and evory individual who works
.? a living, and the losses come out
of the Individual's pocket. For every
dollar that is paid out by the nsurice
compaies, $2 ii collected., from
the premiums of the individual. This
icco <nts for the fact that more than
-1 billion dollars is annually collected
in this country to pay Jhe losses
and the profits -of the insurance companies
This sum is almost enough
to pay the fnterast on the national
debt, and is nearly equal to the vulue
of one-third of all the imports into
the country in a year.
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.

Political quackery Is what makes
iutne ducks.
In view of the readiness with which
' the allies met the Turks' demands,
