Popular Reaction Seen in Results

IN the several State elections held Tuesday,
the general results show distinct gains for
the Republicans, as compared with tho vot-
ing OF two years ago. While the contests
were not uniformly decided on issues sharply
defined by party alignment, the general
trend of the voting showed reaction, indi-
eating dissatisfaction with the manner in
which Democratic control OF public affairs
has been administered. Such reaction of
sentiment was naturally to be expected as
all inevitable consequence of the confusion
and unrest following in the wake of great
war, in which the burden of taxation was
increased beyond all precedent in the pre-
vfouS history of the country, thereby entail
ing economic conditions which has advanced
the cost OF living to almost uncomfortable
weight. This discomfort the Republicans
seized upon as valuable asset to further
their interests in the campaign, and it is not
surprising that they were enabled to realize
on it. Had the position of the parties beer
reversed and the Republicans been in control
OF the government during the war, dissatis-
faction with their conduct Of affairs would
have been no less marked and the reaction
dscernibe in Tuesdays elections would
have been against them instead Of the Demo-
cratic party
Republican success in Massachusetts gives
general satisfaction without reference to
party sentiment. There, the determining is
sue was one of law and order against mob
RUE, ana the Overwhelming reelection OF
Governor Calvin Coolidge over his Demo-
cratic opponent, based upon his stand against
the striking Boston policemen. means that
the voters of the State stand firmly for sound
principles OF Americanism. ready at all times
to uphold the hands of public officials who
have the courage to discharge their duty
when the orderly processes of government
are endangered by influences which make for
disorder, and the consequent jeopardizing
of the public safety and convenience This
will be heartening to the whole country, as
preston was badly needed that the con-
stantly growing foreign population of the
State has not been seriously affected by the
pernicious propaganda industriously carried
on in the hope OF arraying that element
against the forces which support sound prin-
ciples of government courageously applied
to the solution OF all problems arising in the
conduct of public affairs
The result in Kentucky is distinctly dis
appointing in its showing Of definite re-
action against the Democratic party in the
State. The issue there, however, was largely
local. the Republican gubernatorial candi-
date having won on promise Of a thorough
housekeeping" which would seem to in
dicate that the voters Of the State had
reached the conclusion that Democratic ad-
ministration OF public affairs was far from
satisfactory. In States where the question
OF prohibition was involved, as in Ohio and
Kentucky, directly. and indirectly in Mary
land and New Jersey, where it was reflected
III State candidates., the issue apparently
scored substantial victories in Ohio and Ken

Pay.
When you use up all tho assets In the bank
account OF life,
You've got to pay.
when you use up all your energies in keeping
up the strife,
You've got to pay.
When YOU burn the candle at both ends, and
bat around at night;
When you gayly tread the primrose path and
follow beauties bright;
When you go the limit son. matter where
you fly your kite
You've got to pay
For the law of compensation never has been
beaten yet:
You've got to pay
And FOR every neeting joy or hollow pleasure
that you get,
You've got to pay.
Old Destiny is accurate, though roisterers may

She is a great collector from the gay and

HE pressure for mediation in the disas-

industry of the country to a state OF partial
paralysis must eventually succeed and since
this is as certain anything can be, it
seems foolish that decisive move in that
direction should not be made without longer

should be willing for the miners and the
operators to engage in finish fight il there
is any possible way OF forcing an earlier
