For the ages that are to come the two-mile hole through this gigantic Alaska mountain will re- main as one of the myriad of monu, ments to American engineering and to the bulldog tenacity of American worllmen--a combination that is re- making the world.

one of the S5 opposition votes tha were not cast against the bill were cast for it-though 1t is fair to assume that some of the 22 votes that were not cast at all were of the opposition that would leave at the very least 2lS Democratic votes for the bin out of a total of 40 that voted on the measure. Only 52 Democrats voted against it.
 President Wilson asked for the re peal of the free tolls repeal bill for the reasons that such action was a necessary part of the foreign policy of the administration and because the exemption was unsound from an econ omic standpoint. He said that the presence of the act was used as a basis by foreign countries for the charge that the United States does not highly regard its treaty obliga- tions. He also said that it was contrary to the stand the Democratic party has always taken against subsidies and for lower tariffs.
 While both of the Presidents argu- ments were doubtless potent, an ana lysis of the vote would indicate that the economic argument brought more votes to it. for it is not fair to assume that there is a higher degree of patriot ism or more regard for good faith in matters that concern foreign relations among Democrats than among those of other parties.
 The outcome of the contest in the House cannot fail to be satisfactory to the administration, and from party standpoint Democrats have no cause to apologize, notwithstanding that they directly repudiated a plank in their platform. The plank was a minor one and in direct conflict with major prop ositions for which the party stands.

for February. Some months ago, one
of his friends had been mentioned
rather prominently for certain dis

port of Mr. Mitchell.
While matters stood thus, one day
the newspapers printed a story. which
was accurate. that John Mitchell him
self was to be named by the presi-

very much disturbed. and he prompt
" called up his friend on the long

you see the newspapers this morning

yes" said the friend. "but do not
be disturbed about that"
well, I am disturbed" said Mr..
Mitchell. you know I am for you
heart and soul for that position. Now
what do you think of my sending a
