Especial Washington Correspondence
e Washington, June l0.-Republican
leaders believe that the battle-ground or
the presidential campaign will be In
the middle west and not in the east,
as in former years. At the same time,
they admit the situation in the west
has large elements of danger. They do
not know which way the radical vote
will go which gave to Roosevelt his
tremendous pluralities in that section
in 1904.
Party lines, republican leaders say,
have been badly shattered in the past
two presidential campaigns. Whether
Taft will be able to hold the great fol-
lowing which the progressive Roosevelt
policies have in the middle west in the
problem that Is worrying the mama
gers. Some Of them admit, with rather
surprising frankness. that johnson
would certainly take away from Taft
several of these states which Roose-
Welt carried with enormous votes, and
further that it is a question whether
Taft will be able to hold them against
Bryan.
Representative Charles F. Scott of
Kansas, expressed this fear today. He
is, the republican chairman of the
house committee on agriculture. is the
proprietor of big newspaper and a
keen political observer Mr.. Scott be-
lieves that the conservative capitalistic
interests which are falling over them
selves to get behind Taft will hurt the
latter in the west He says also that
the do-nothing record OF the last ses-
sion Of congress will be resented by the
ogressive-radicals of that quarter.
Here are the states which Mr.. Scott
says will determine the presidential
battle, together with the votes cast in

| will be in the states of Illinois, Ohio,
| Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas and Nebraska instead Of the
east, where former contests have been
determined. The reasons for the change
tof battle-ground are about as follows:
The Roosevelt administration is popu-
lar in those states where the people be-
fieve thoroughly in the Roosevelt pro-
gram; They have not been satisfied, I
take it, with the last session Of con-
gress; It looks, from their stand
point, as If the reactionaries had rath-
er handled the situation in the senate
and house and they don't like it."
THE people Of that section want the
presidents program carried forward.
They are so earnest that IL they
thought 1T necessary to elect a demo-
cratic administration in order to carry
1t forward they would do it. Party
lines are weakening thru the west.
LaFollette has had the effect Of les
SEEMING party allegiance and the peo-
Pile are voting more Independently than
ever before. They are voting for meas
ures and not for parties.
There is danger In this middle
western S1ludllOU. IL lIe uCIUOCTdllC
convention at Denver should have a
lucid interval and nominate johnson,
I should think there would be a good
chance of losing two or three middle
western states OF course, this will
not happen. The Denver convention
will nominate Mr.. Bryan and he is no
stronger now than he was in 1900 un-
less he is made stronger by the fail
ure Of the republican convention to
take advantage Of its opportunities.
"The strength in the republican sit
uation lies in the fact that while Mr..
Taft Is thoroughly committed to the
Roosevelt policies yet he is recognized
as personally a conservative man - a
man who will do even radical things
in conservative way
ct is on this account that Mr.. Taft
will have the confidence Of that ele-
ment in the east which has not been
in sympathy with the Roosevelt pro-
gram, while he will have equally the
confidence OF those in the west who
have accepted Taft because Of the
presidents endorsement of him. Taft
does things differently from the presi-
dent He could, have done precisely
the things that Roosevelt has done and
have had the good will of the very
men whom he was restraining with
out making a ripple on the surface
of business. He is a diplomat; he
pours oil and smiles all the time
Senator Deliver of Iowa is Mr..
Scott's choice for the vice presidency.
"Dolliver is popular in the middle west
where the struggle will be keenest,"
said Mr. Scott. "He is thoroughly
identified with the administrations
progressive policies. He is very
attractive orator and would draw as
GOOD crowds as BRYAN and entertain
them better. Mr.. Taft is an eastern

My dear child, you are only a little
girl and should not be thinking so much
of your personal appearance. You
should rather be playing with your
dolls and enjoying the games which
interest girls of your age. However, 1
will answer your questions. since you
want to improve your looks.
To make you eyebrows heavier, rub
them with a little vaseline every night
before retiring, making sure to follow
the line of the brow. This will make
them grow dark and heavy, and you
will notice an improvement in about
two weeks time. You are a little
heavy for your age, but you are not
fully developed yet, and as you grow
older your flesh will deposit itself as it
should. Run and jump as much as you
can in the open air. Play basketball
and roller-skate and enjoy as many out
door games as possible, and you will
find that you will gradually grow
more shapely. Don't attempt to use
rouge on our cheeks. Plenty of healthy
exercise will make your cheeks as rosy
as you would wish.

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER ,
HOW OLD is NIAGARA?

The question, always interesting for
the light it throws on the past history
of the earth. has had many answers.
The latest is hat of DR.. j. w. Spen-
Ger, who, from recent studies on the
spot, finds hat the mean rate of re-
eession of the falls at presnt is AZ
feet per year, and that his has been
the rate for approximately 227 years.
But. owing to the fact that originally
the waters Of Lake Erie only were
discharged over the falls. giving but
one-fifteenth of the water supply, the
rate of recession was at first much
lower. A sudden widening of the
gorge above Fosters Flat indicates
the position of the falls when the
other Great Lakes began to discharge
into Lake Erie. From this data, DIR.
Spencer calculates the entire age Of tho
falls at 3S, 1000 years. The cutting, with
the full power of the four lakes, is esti-
mated to have lasted $500 years

l waited until . o'clock. Then L went

so late. But he did, about ten minutes
after .. l wrote to him the next day
and told him how long l waited and
said [ was sorry for having missed him.
Then | met him on the street and he
called me down, saying l had no in
tention of keeping my engagement. [
told him never to speak to me again,
and now he has written a note asking
if he car call, and taking all the blame.
What shall l do? L wan to forgive
him, but am afraid it will look as if
l was giving in. DAISY b.

Why, he gave in when he asked your

might permit her to do so, but it would
be better not to. What do you know

The next time he talks to you of his

write he will then say so. There is no
reason why you should not mention it
