The broader consequence of the elections is to give the Democrats a clear majority in the national house of representatives. With , their margin of but one or twc majority the Democrats will be ’ able to organize the house and in t large degree determine the course of events through the coming long ’ session. Whether that will prove J advantageous to the party in the > national campaign will depend alI together upon the use made of the > > j power now conferred upon it. As II this will be the first Democratic house since the elections of 1918 the party can feel itself in possession of a restored prestige and that will be something with which to go into the general engagement next year. — Fort Wayne JournalGazette. Jesse Rice believes the "repression" is over, basing his claims on the fact that his hotel has been filled the past week with the most enthusiastic bunch of traveling I men he has had there in two years. It takes orders to make salesmen smile and Jesse feels sure from the frequency of the smiles that they have been doing unusual business this week. Ot course to continue that line of reasoning, the merchants who bought from the salesmen must have been encouraged because the consumers were buying. Several things have occurred the past fortnight to encourage optimism. The weather is more seasonable, buying is picking up. the prices of grain products have advanced and there seems to he a general feeling in accord with that of Mr. Rice. There will be sincere and widespread sorrow over the death of Charles A. Greathouse, democratic national committeeman. former state superintendent of public instructions and a leading business 1 man of Indianapolis. An upstanding citizen, a veteran in politics, a believer in clean government, a titan of excellent judgment and a natural leader his services were alivays for t#e greater number, his I advice good and his activities many. During the past several years his health had been failing but he had courage and was hopeful that he would soon be able to resume his varied duties. His career was a successful one and he v<as frequently mentioned for high positions. As secretary of the national committee he had charge of the two last conventions and his friends over the United States will join those of Indiana in extending sympathies to the bereaved ones at this hour. o Lessons In English Wo.ds often misused: Do not say "His speech was followed by a dead silence." Say “by complete silence,” or, ."utter silence.’ Often mispronounced: Allegheny 1 Pa. 1 Pronounce al-e-gani, first 4 as in "at", e as in "me,” second a as iq "gay." i as in "it." and principal accent on first syllable. Often misspelled: Forte (one’s strong point.) Fort (a fortified place. 1 Synonyms: Requirement, requesite, need. Word study: “Use a word three times and it is yours.’’ Let us increase our vocabulary by mastering one word each day. Today's word: Antipathy; opposition in feeling, repugnance.

One nice thing about traveling is that the studio allows the stars $250 a week for living expenses and pays for their drawing-rooms each way. At that. Dick says he would rather stay in Hollywood. Jobyi.a has been in delicate health for some time, and they have their home here. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT AT THAT.

PUBLIC'S GETTING WISE. One of the little dramas you see at preview: A western picture was being tried out on a Santa Ana audience the other night. Finally came a terrible dilemma for the hero. He could block pur- | suit by rolling over a great bal- I anced rock and starting an avalanche But if he did, he and the girl would be marooned on the otherwise inaccessible hill top. In this extremity, the girl spoke up: “It doesn’t matter, dear I love i you Roll that stone The audience promptly went into hysterics. In the midst of it, the super- i visor rushed up to the manager of the theatre. “Haven’t you got some way of keeping these kid hoodlums out of the theatre?” He demanded. “They laugh at the wrong time and spoil the film for adults."
